Aaron M It is a guilty pleasure movie it's a dumb fun time. I wanted bebop and rocksteady to be in it but it's fine i had fun with this movie Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/19/25 Full Review Joey H. Released on March 22nd 1991, less than one year after its predecessor, the Heroes in a Half-Shell are back by popular and bodacious demand. Directed by Michael Pressman and again released by New Line Cinema and Golden Harvest, the Turtles return once again to save the city of New York from the forces of Evil when they learn The Shredder is back and out for revenge with some new mutants of his own while also attempting to learn the secret of their own origins. The Turtle suits, animatronics for Splinter and the costumes for the new mutant characters Tokka and Rahzar are once again brought beautifully to life by the Jim Henson Creature Shop. The film is also dedicated in loving memory to Jim Henson who passed away shortly after the release of the first film. While Elias Koteas does not return for this film as vigilante Casey Jones, actors and characters who returned from the first film include Raymond Serra as Chief Sterns and Toshishiro Obata as Tatsu. Taking over the role of April O’Neil from Judith Hoag is Paige Turco and taking over the role of Shredder from James Saito is Francois Chau, while Kevin Clash returns to portray Master Splinter; Brian Tochi and Robbie Rist return to do the voices of Leonardo and Michelangelo, while Adam Carl voices Donatello and Laurie Faso voices Raphael. Michelan Sisti and Leif Tilden also return as the performers for Michelangelo and Donatello while the performers for Leonardo and Raphael are taken over by Mark Caso and Kenn Scott Troum. The role of new character Keno is portrayed by Ernie Reyes Jr, who previously worked as a stuntman on the first film, and the filmmakers liked working with him so much, that they created the role for him in this sequel. And rounding out the cast is David Warner as Professor Jordan Perry. Unlike the dark and grittiness direction of the Mirage comic books that the first film took, this one is given a more lighthearted, family friendly and comedic approach to be more like the ‘87 cartoon show. Due to parental complaints about the excessive violence in the first movie, the Turtles are rarely shown using their weapons in this film and instead mostly fight with their bare fists and feet. Also joining in on the fun of this film is rapper Vanilla Ice, who appears as himself during the finale of the film and brings along a new catchy song called Ninja Rap to the soundtrack. Go Ninja, Go Ninja Go! With a musical score composed once again by John Du Prez, the movie is nonstop fun and ninja action. While it was not as successful as the first movie, this sequel still proves to be a Cowabunga hit with TMNT fans worldwide. I give this Turtle-riffic sequel a hard ten rating.
