Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III
“The Turtles are back... in time.”
Premium Crap. CrapScore 70, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

The Turtles travel to historical Japan and become involved in a local uprising. Colourful period costumes give the sequel a different setting, but the jokes and character writing are thinner than before. A completist's time-travel adventure with plenty of room for affectionate commentary.
