Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 The Secret of the Ooze Film

The first sequel, titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze, expands on the Turtles’ origin story while claiming the distinction as Vanilla Ice’s film debut. It is dedicated in memory of puppeteer Jim Henson. It also introduced the Turtles’ human friend Keno (Ernie Reyes, Jr.) and Shredder’s mutant henchmen Tokka and Rahzar. The original story was to include Bebop and Rocksteady at the insistence of the studio, but Laird and Eastman fought tooth and nail to prevent their inclusion, settling on Tokka and Rahzar as a compromise. The original ending to Ooze would also reveal the benevolent Techno Global Research Industries scientist, Jordon Perry (David Warner), to have been an Utrom. But due to budget constraints, plus the fear he may be mistaken for the character Krang, the plot twist was abandoned.
