Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
- The actors who physically portrayed the Turtles also had cameo roles in the film:
- Josh Pais, who plays Raphael, plays a passenger in the back of a taxicab right after Raphael hops on the cab's hood
- Michelan Sisti, who plays Michaelangelo, plays the pizza delivery man who delivers the pizza to the Turtles' sewer
- Leif Tilden, who plays Donatello, plays the Foot messenger that meets April in the subway station
- David Forman, who plays Leonardo, plays a gang member in the warehouse during Casey's fight with Tatsu.
- Josh Pais who played Raphael suffers from claustrophobia. After filming Raphael's scenes, he would have to take the helmet off very quickly. He also is the only actor in Turtle costume to also voice his character.
- Jim Henson, whose workshop provided the movie's turtle costumes, was reportedly upset about the level of violence in the finished movie.
- A super young Sam Rockwell plays a "Head Thug" of the Foot.
- All three newswomen seen or mentioned in the film are named after a month: April, May, and June.
- The film was set in New York City, but actually much of the filming took place in North Carolina, with only a couple of location shoots done in New York City to capture famous landmark areas.
- In the comics and the cartoons, the turtles are around 3-4ft. tall. However, for obvious costuming reasons, the turtles are the same height as April, Casey, Shredder, and the Foot Clan (Between 5'6-6'0).
- During the battle with Shredder, Leonardo is the only turtle to successfully land a strike when he hit Shredder on his arm with his sword.
- This is the only movie that I have ever waited in line to see.
