April and the Turtles find themselves at a movie premier. On the side, Krang had engineered a vitalizer that brings movie monsters from the big screen to the real world.
Tropes:
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: Rondo (the actor, not the character) is based off of Sylvester Stallone, the character Rondo a parody of John Rambo.
- Refugee from TV Land: The completed vitlizer has this effect, summoning cartoon characters from a TV and later summoning movie characters from a theater projector.
- Scully Box: In-Universe. Rondo is seen standing on one to make him look taller in an interview with April.
- Shout-Out: The title of the movie Rondo 8: Hit Hardest is a mix of Die Hard 2: Die Harder and Rambo.
