12 Unintentionally Hilarious Comic Book Movie Moments
2. You Know What These Knives Need? A lot of people had problems with the Ninja Turtles reboot. Myself? I dont care if Michaelangelo has sixteen noses, I will still pay money to watch a Ninja Turtles film even if it is the cinematic equivalent of Michael Bay dipping his CGI scrotum onto a giant pile of money laid atop the nostalgic memories of a bajillion childhoods. Bias aside, there was a lot of stupidity to be found in Ninja Turtles, such as Splinter learning how to be a master ninja by reading a book. If books could actually make you cool, then Id be a master ninja, a billionaire, Hugh Hefner and Batman by now. After informing bad guy Eric Sacks of the turtles existence, April unknowingly leads the Foot Clan and Shredder to the turtles lair. The Foot invade the lair, taking down Raphael and stopping the other turtles from helping out Splinter when Shredder finally makes his long-awaited entrance. It would have been daunting to have replicated the extreme cool of Shredders entrance in the original Turtles film (a moment that I play in my head every time I walk into a room), so props to Bay for trying but the answer to that riddle is not needs more knives. Shredder steps into the fray and confronts Splinter, looking like the badass that he is. With his newfangled metal suit, he resembles a sentient weed whacker but a cool sentient weed whacker, because theres a difference. Shredder reveals some knives. Then he reveals some more knives. And, because knives by themselves are laughable, Shredder shows that he has knives ON TOP of knives. Then you realise that youre about to watch a walking Swiss army knife fight a humanoid rat that learned martial arts from a book and taught it to his four mutant turtle children and you laugh because, somehow, the most ridiculous thing in the scene is his attempts to make Wolverine jealous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsqLXnMlQA0
