With the upcoming release of the TMNT reboot movie I thought it would be interesting to make a demo reel showing how the four ninja turtle weapons are used in real life without any computer graphics. Check out this demo reel:

Am I the only one who noticed that the turtles are supposed to be ninjas yet all except one use a weapon originating in okinawan kobudo? Maybe that is because those are the most popular and easy weapons to recognize. Interesting  |

Ninjas were supposed to be proficient with every weapon.
Being a comic book guy, I can shed some light on the decision. The comic book was originally a parody of 4 other comics (Ronin, Daredevil, New Mutants and Cerebus). He got some of the ideas for the weapons from from these books (bo and sai from Daredevil and the twin swords from Ronin, I'm unclear where the nunchaku came in but I imagine that Bruce Lee plays a part here) and thus we have our iconic weapons with our lovable Turtles.
Source: The creator did an interview for Heavy Metal magazine some years back. It's probably easily found with a Google search but the magazine is NSFW so I'll avoid linking it just in case something inappropriate would come across.

All very nice....but there's a whiff of exploitation to it.

| Of course there is exploitation. It couldn't be a movie without it . It is definitely something to see for anyone who was a child in the 80s and 90s. When I grew up every kid in my class watched TMNT on TV after school. We even played it on Nintendo and Super Nintendo. It was everywhere! How many of us got involved in martial arts because of it? Even the most casual fan had his favourite turtle! I still remember watching the first movie at my neighbours birthday party. I loved Leonardo because his mask was blue and I thought his double swords were the dogs bollocks! Totally awesome, dude! I even collected action figures. My first one was Leonardo and I ended up with most of the characters and several accessories and vehicles. I still have them intact somewhere and they must be worth something by now. |
