Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III

Revealing mistake: The Turtles are preparing their time travel. Splinter tells them "The scepter will be in the temple, which means..." Pay close attention here, because now the rest of the sentence is obtained dubbing the line over a rewind of the previous footage. (00:21:50)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: When Raphael tosses the sai breaking Mitsu's arrow in two as she is aiming at April and Whit, before it cuts to the close-up the actress is smiling as she turns around, obviously pleased because the take of the throw worked. (00:39:45)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: In a complete non-sequitur, the Turtles declare that they are friends, taking off their masks. Mitsu picks Raphael's helmet up herself; not only her hands chance place on the helmet at the cut, but the helmet is soft rubber under her fingers. (00:40:25)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: Walker celebrates the news that he's gonna get the agreed price on his shipment from Lord Norinaga. He fires his cannon, which not only must be firing a cluster projectile since it disintegrates in a single shot 3 targets, but also it makes them implode. (00:58:20)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: The grate on the prison floor (left open and unguarded after they escaped from there the first time) is made of thick metal...or so it looks, because when Michelangelo climbs up, it wobbles by the lightest tap of his elbow. (01:09:55)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: The rebels broke into the court of Lord Norinaga's palace. Donatello knocks down two guards with a leapfroggin' double flying kick. Which sounds way cooler than it looks, because it is obviously miles away from actually connecting. (01:15:15)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: It's even too obvious when the movie finale turns into a bit of a farce, but when Mitsu elbows the guards to free herself, it's obvious that she does no damage - the guards are wearing armor, even - and the extras don't do anything to 'sell' the hit. (01:20:20)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: The Turtles give chase to Walker; Leo and Raph run across a roof, but the tiles are obviously fake; look at Raph's feet and you'll see one in particular bending like gum under the push. (01:21:00)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: Walker meets his demise in sequence with a shockingly poor visual effect; he falls into the ocean from the cliff, and instead of splashing into the water, he sorta disappears quickly through it. (01:22:55)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: When Mitsu knocks down Michelangelo, he falls on the floor and bounces, revealing the safety matt below.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When the turtles go sliding down the ramp down into the sewer, watch the inside of the ramp before Raph comes out and you can tell where they stooped recording and restarted it. The shadows seem to change places. This also happens right before Leo comes out too. (00:34:00)

Leonardo: Hey! Where's Mikey?
Donatello: Last time I saw him, he was doing this: AhAhAhAhAhhhh.

More quotes from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III

Question: When Michelangelo is in the village and wakes up in the shed for the first time, there are some kids that run in front of the camera. As they move we hear a very distinct sound effect of them giggling. Like the Wilhelm, this giggle sound effect is played in tons of movies and even commercials. Any idea what it is called?

Answer: I don't belive it has a set name, other than giggle or laughter it is just a generic sound. Much like the Wilhelm, which I think fans named after hearing it in a lot of movies.

NoWhereMan

Ben Burtt, a sound designer who used the scream, is the one credited for naming it the Wilhelm scream. It's named after the character Private Wilhelm in the film "The Charge at Feather River" when the scream is dubbed in after he's shot.
