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)

8.2/10.The weakest of the TMNT franchise.I understand this, respect other people's opinions.I disagree with it being bad though.It's because it took chances with sending the turtles in time to feudal Japan.This seems like a nod to one of their best selling video games TMNT 4:Turtles In Time.The villains were actually original and well written, neither being Shredder.This is the only movie of theirs not to have Shredder as the villain.I'm not saying he's a terrible one, they've got a good rogues gallery yet they go to him too often like Batman does with The Joker or Superman with Lex Luthor.I applauded the efforts of director/writer Stuart Gillard.He had to not only write but also direct the movie, arguably two of the toughest jobs on a movie.If anything else I was bummed out by how much of a beating the movie took from critics and fans when I was a kid.I agree the design of the turtles wasn't as good as the previous look but it's not as bad as the look they've got in Rise Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.That supposed cartoon looks like a nightmare cartoon on an acid trip. TMNT 3 may not be as great as the other movies but I argue that's far from being the worst of any media of the TMNT franchise.
Michaelangelo: Man, I love being a turtle.
Question: Why does Mickey want to stay behind with Yoshi, at the end, when Raph has had the connection with him throughout the film?

Answer: Michelangelo wants to stay behind for the same reasons as Raphael: because in that time and place, they are well respected, even revered as heroes. They can live openly and not be banished to sewers or subway stations.

Mikey didn't want to stay behind because of Yoshi but because of Mitsu. Raphael even points out that she's the reason he doesn't want to return. When Mikey says they should stay, Raph responds, "Now, forget about Mitsu and give me the scepter."
