Other mistake: The turtles are racing to save April, who is kidnapped by Shredder, and trying to get to the roof. They run into a squad of the royal guards and one of the guards shouts: "Halt! Hands in the air or we'll open fire!" Now, I would like to see that because every one of the guards is holding a sword. (00:14:00)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987)
1 other mistake in season 3 - chronological order
Starring: Cam Clarke, Townsend Coleman, Barry Gordon, Renae Jacobs
Character mistake: Throughout the entire series, the Turtles are referred to, by others and by themselves, as amphibians. But turtles are reptiles, not amphibians. However they are amphibious, amphibious reptiles.
Shredder: You have a brilliant brain, Krang.
Krang: Of course. It's all I really am.
Question: In this show and in the 90's movies, the Turtles absolutely love pizza. Though this was not hit on in the 00's show. Was their love of pizza created for the 80's show, or did they have that in the original comics as well?

Chosen answer: The Turtles' pizza obsession was not in the original comics, which were far more adult in the violence and language they contained. Peter Laird, one of the comic's creators was critical of this aspect on his blog in 2012, saying if he had control over the 80s cartoon's creative direction, the Turtles "would not have been so ridiculously obsessed with pizza".
