The first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film was a bizarre spectacle

a strange mishmash of family drama, eastern pop-mysticism, science-fiction, crime vigilante fantasy, urban noir, and puppeteering. the rat/father character spends half the film chained to a wall being abused by his captors while delivering the occasional wise apothegm to teen delinquents.
it's not a good film, but the whole conception and execution is so goddamned strange that it's kind of interesting to watch in hindsight. most of the film is extremely dark in terms of lighting and setting, with noir-homage camera angles as characters skitter through the sewers or bare corridors. i assume that the look of the film was influenced a lot by the tim burton batman movie which had been released the previous year.

My mom checked me out of Kindergarten to see it in the theatre. One of the best days of my childhood.
Watch the Netflix “Toys that made us” about TMNT, if you haven’t. They talk about how the movie was made totally unsupervised and my a guy who had no experience with such a thing and how everyone was horrified at the initial internal viewing. They did not expect it to be the hit of the summer.

someone mentioned Darkman and Dick Tracy (and Batman 1989).
there was a kind of 1989-1991 'dark' comic book aesthetic. the aborted Punisher movie from 1989, Total Recall, Robocop 2, all fit into that same pre-CGI grainy TMNT look.
