I really liked it too! It surprised me. I enjoy thriller movies that have that sort of "closed environment" or trap type of setting, where most of the story all takes place in a single location.

Circling back to this movie... The whole time I was watching it I kept staring at the dude who plays the main chick's boyfriend trying to recall what I know him from. It was driving me nuts. Turns out he is Jeff Yagher, the same actor who plays Jimmy Valentine in Shag (1989). 🤯

I think some people were expecting that first TMNT film to be more like Howard the Duck, which was full of sexual jokes and innuendo.

This doesn't surprise me whatsoever. TMNT was everywhere in 1990, at the height of Turtlemania. It was the butt of many jokes, tongue-in-cheek references in ad copy, sitcoms, you name it. Literally everything was competing with TMNT for views and revenue.

PRETTY WOMAN & TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES went head to head at the box office in March of 1990 and even had newspaper promo ads referencing each other.
