Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 (1991), Mall Fight Storyboards

original production artwork

Director-approved storyboards of the mall fight in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze. The storyboards are illustrated by Michael Davis. This is marked #1 of 4, meaning that it is the first of the four major fight scenes in the film. In this fight scene, the Turtles have ordered pizza delivery and wind up fighting burglars in a mall. The violence was scaled back in the sequel and made more humorous and less scary for children audiences. A good example is during this fight sequence when Michelangelo picks up sausage and chooses it as a comical weapon over his nunchucks. Obtained from a private collector. (Not for sale)
