You are here because the outside world rejects you. This is your family. I am your father.

The original German release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles(1990) featured alternate versions of scenes from the film. The reasoning behind this was to limit the display of Michelangelo’s nunchaku as much as possible, since they, along with the term “Ninja”, were banned in the UK at the time of the film’s release. 

The fight scenes often included different shots than those used in the US release. Most notable is the battle in April’s apartment.
