    Not sure what blew my mind more: -Sam Rockwell’s tiny role as a gang member who say with total sincerity “We have a loyalty to the Shredder! We’re family!” -Kevin Clash (AKA the creator of Elmo) was the puppeteer AND voice for Splinter. -The fact that this is…

    If you took out the goofy sound effects and ADRed jokes, you would have a movie on par with The Warriors, and whose dark, grimy vision of New York owes far more to films like Nighthawks and The Taking of Pelham 123 than it does the Turtles cartoon that this was clearly…
