Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle (1990)

This is a cheesy delight. The only downfall is the serious moments are undermined by the humor so they don’t hit. That being said, this is awesome even for being a product of the time. Nothing beats 4 dudes in a rubber suit skateboarding and fighting. This is a timeless childhood classic and needs to be seen by everyone of all ages. The ninja/karate phase was in full swing around this time with the likes of Karate Kid and 3 Ninjas. I miss the simpler times. Go find this somewhere and give it a watch.
