History Film / TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesOutOfTheShadows

* {{Hypocrite}}: Raphael is angry at Leonardo for lying to him about the possibility that the ooze could turn the Turtles human... so he lies to April and Casey to get them to help him retrieve the ooze from the police station. Leonardo [[WhatTheHellHero calls him out on it]] once he finds out about it.

* IJustWantToBeNormal: Mikey in particular, but all of the turtles to some extent.

** Raphael calls Leonardo out for trying to keep the [[spoiler:transformative powers of the Ooze a secret from him and Michelangelo.]]
** Leo fires one right back at Raph for [[spoiler:enacting a plan to break into a police station that ended up exposing the turtles to the outside world and forcing April to take the heat.]]

* CompanyCrossReferences: In the Halloween parade, Mikey encounters a guy dressed as Bumblebee from the Transformers Film series, another film franchise owned by Paramount.

* GenericDoomsdayVillain: ''[[InsistentTerminology Commander]]'' Krang comes across as this. He briefly teleports the Shredder to his home dimension to play MrExposition by telling him the locations of three artifacts to assemble a doomsday weapon, the Arc Capacitor. After this, Krang quite literally disappears from the movie until the very end when the Capacitor is complete and begins assembling the Technodrome. [[spoiler:He also freezes Shredder and hides him away in the Technodrome once the plan is in motion.]] Then he has his battle with the Turtles, is inevitably defeated, and [[SmugSnake smugly declares]] WeWillMeetAgain, which could act as a stinger. But overall, he doesn't truly have a distinct personality of his own.

-->'''Donatello:''' ''(excitedly)'' I got it! I've found the beacon! It's just... ''(looks upward)'' ... up... ''(looks further upward at the beacon more than a mile above his head)'' ... there...

* RealityEnsues:
** Rocksteady uses a machine gun on the turtles during a fight inside a cargo aircraft. The hail of bullets proceeds to tear apart the cockpit and sends half off it flying off before the jet starts a nosedive. Even Bebop calls him out on it.
** No one can understand what Casey is saying while he's wearing his hockey mask.
** Krang is a little too big for his android body's stomach in this incarnation. So much so that after he sends Shredder off to find the artifacts for his doomsday weapon, he orders his android to stuff him in the cockpit.
-->'''Krang:''' [[NoIndoorVoice Place me back in!]]\\
''[the android tries pushing him in gently]''\\
'''Krang:''' [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Push me in, you stupid robot!]]\\
''[the android begins punching him into its stomach, and finally crams him in uncomfortably]''\\
'''Krang:''' [[YouFool You idiot!]]
** Mikey raising his mechanized [[FightingWithChucks nun-chuck arms]] in celebration during a high-speed chase, resulting in their sacrifice to the gods of LowClearance.
** As highly trained and proficient in close combat Karai is, she is still taken down by the numerical superiority of the untrained CombatPragmatism of April O'Neil and Vernon teaming up against her.

!!The film contains examples of the following tropes:

* AbortedArc: Most of the events of the past movie are forgotten, except that the turtles beat Shredder (or Shredder's western apprentice, anyway). [[spoiler: Shredder remains as TheUnfought throughout the ''entire movie'', ending any hope for a rematch in this film.]]

-->'''Krang:''' (''after slapping Shredder across the face'') [[SarcasmMode Ooh, I'm sorry.]] Did I get a little ''[[{{Squick}} tentacle mucus]]'' in your eye, ''Shredder''?

* BadassBiker: Both Bebop and Rocksteady get some ferocious choppers strong enough to support them, but the latter ditches his to chase down Casey the old fashioned way.

-->'''Police Chief Rebecca Vincent''': Thanks for your statement, Jones! (''walks away'')
-->'''Casey Jones''': THAT'S OFFICER JONES! (''Police Chief Rebecca Vincent stops abruptly''; ''beat drops'')
-->'''Casey Jones''': And I'm gonna be a detective someday!

** Krang is also an example of this, as in his introductory scene he repeatedly throws slime emanating from his body in Shredder's face, and pretty much says he's [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace spied on his activities for quite a while]], unnervingly. [[spoiler: And of course, he soon declares to Shredder that YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness, and freezes him in the Technodrome.]]
* BalefulPolymorph: Averted with Bebop and Rocksteady, who are pretty thrilled at being badass mutants - though Bebop is a bit perplexed that he got turned into a warthog while his partner is a rhino.

* BigBrotherInstinct: Crosses over with HypocriticalHeartwarming. The brothers spend most of the movie ripping into one another, but...Nobody messes with Mikey.
* BigDamnHeroes: The Turtles arrive just as [[spoiler: Casey Jones]] is fending off Foot Clan ninjas trying to [[spoiler: break Shredder out of the armored car he is transported in]]. They proceed to make quick work of the Foot Clan ninjas but are unable to stop [[spoiler: Shredder from teleporting away from the skirmish]].

* BodyHorror: Although it's played for laughs, when Bebop and Rocksteady are exposed to the mutagen and begin to change, it doesn't look pleasant at all. According to them it feels ''great'' though.

--> '''Police Chief Rebecca Vincent:''' What are you?\\

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the 2014 movie, Vernon, while having some humorous moments, was still an [[AdaptationalHeroism Adaptational Hero]] and TheEveryMan who didn't quite get the girl he wanted at the end but was an otherwise NiceGuy. Here, he becomes much more like his 1987 cartoon counterpart who was significantly more selfish, goofy, and big-headed. However, this becomes somewhat subverted when it's revealed that [[spoiler:the Turtles actually made an arrangement for him to take all the credit for defeating Shredder and become a celebrity in the process. And when push comes to shove, Vernon still shows his true colors by finally confessing that it was actually the TMNT who saved the city and by risking his life to help April take down a significantly more dangerous opponent in Karai.]]

'''Krang:''' (''in mocking tone'') [[SarcasmMode WE WERE A TEAM!!!]] (''normal tone'') [[BreakingSpeech Teams are for the WEAK! Family is for the SCARED!]] The Earth is ''MY'' toy, and [[PunctuatedForEmphasis I! DO! NOT! LIKE TO SHARE!!!]]\\

'''Krang:''' [[BadBoss Actually, I barely even thought about you!]] (''freezes Shredder'') Back to the toy chest, with the rest of the things I've broken! [[AliensAreBastards Silly little earthling!]]]]

** Kraang is based on his 80's incarnation, but has the extra 'A' in his name like the 2012 Kraang. He also is a far more badass fighter much like 2012's Kraang Sub-Prime. Kraang also has the rank of "commander", similar to how in the IDW comics he has the title of "general".
*** This was changed at some point in production -- in the film his name is spelled with the original single A.

-->'''Krang:''' You don't think I've got ''spares'' for this?! (''summons a ball-and-chain mace and a pincer claw'')\\

* DenserAndWackier: Is much more light hearted, comical, and wackier than the first film was.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: In the film's opening scenes, the boys are practicing aerobatic maneuvers that will come in handy later when dealing with a plane in South America, and [[spoiler: the pieces of the Technodrome assembling in the skies over New York City]].

* GenericDoomsdayVillain: ''[[InsistentTerminology Commander]]'' Krang comes across as this. He briefly teleports the Shredder to his home dimension to play MrExposition by telling him the locations of three artifacts to assemble a doomsday weapon, the Arc Capacitor. After this, Krang quite literally disappears from the movie until the very end when the Capacitor is complete and begins assembling the Technodrome. [[spoiler: He also freezes Shredder and hides him away in the Technodrome once the plan is in motion.]] Then he has his battle with the Turtles, is inevitably defeated, and [[SmugSnake smugly declares]] WeWillMeetAgain, which could act as a stinger. But overall, he doesn't truly have a distinct personality of his own.

* GlassSmackAndSlide: The way Raphael lands on an airplane.

-->"The good news is: you're wearing chutes. The bad news is..." ''(Cut to the mooks [[CurbStompBattle hurtling out of the plane]])''

* HiddenDepths: Casey Jones is actually cultured enough to recognise source of the turtles' names, as evidenced by the fact that he calls them extremely pretentious.

* IdiotBall: Shredder joins forces with a creepy brain creature alien bent on conquering Earth almost immediately, and ''expects'' them to be equal partners with no contingency plan for [[spoiler: being double-crossed]]. This is particularly funny because literally a few minutes before this, Shredder [[spoiler: betrays Baxter Stockman and sends him away to be [[AmbiguousSituation tortured or locked up]] at the Foot's Japanese branch]]. Guess he expected Krang to be more honorable than himself.

** In another twist of irony, [[spoiler: Shredder treats Stockman like a footnote, only for Krang to treat Shredder like a footnote]].

* LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn: From above, we see a tank driving through virgin rainforest to the sound of the awesome 70s song "War! Huh!". Then, Bebop and Rocksteady pop out from the tank and they are ''singing along to it''.

** The Turtle Van launches [[AbnormalAmmo manhole covers]], similar to its 1987 equivalent's toy which launched whole pizzas and the Nickelodeon series' Shellraiser which also fires manhole covers.
** The Turtle Van also has "Tartaruga brothers" painted on its' side, similar to how the Turtles' vehicle in the fourth season of the 2003 cartoon had "The Tortuga Brothers" painted on its' side.

** Mikey trying to blend in with the Halloween crowd is similar to how Raphael got into a costume party by pretending to wear a ninja turtle costume in the 80's cartoon. "All Hallows Thieves", a Mirage comic story that later was adapted to the 2003 cartoon, also featured the Turtles walking on the streets publicly on Halloween.

** As in the classic cartoon, Krang keeps himself housed in a robot body that resembles a cyborg sumo wrestler. However, it has several more mechanical and silver parts protruding from it this time around, making it look like Krang Sub-Prime's body from the 2012 show as well as the mostly robot-looking body from the IDW comics. Krang also apparently has a HyperspaceArsenal inside the Technodrome, allowing him to exchange his broken hands for other weapons; not unlike the '80's cartoon.
*** Krang inspiring the Shredder to turn Bebop and Rocksteady into the mutants they are is ripped straight from the '80's cartoon.

** Casey mistakes the turtles for aliens, just like he did in the original 1980's cartoon.
** Baxter has a computer called O.M.N.S.S., a one-shot villain from the 80s cartoon.
** During the airplane fight, Rocksteady yells "Mommy!" after getting tossed by Raphael. This harkens back to the 80's cartoon, where Bebop would yell "MAMA!" whenever he was in peril.
** Rocksteady's police file shows that one of his aliases is "Ivan Steranko," his real name in the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 2012 continuity]]. Rocksteady also has golden brass knuckles pre-mutation (that are broken upon his mutation) like that incarnation had.

** The trailers would also have you believe that [[Film/TheAvengers2012 an army of alien ships has traveled through a portal in the sky to wreak havoc on New York]]. However, [[spoiler: the 'ships' are actually automated blocks of Kraang's battlestation, the Technodrome, going piece-by-piece through a doorway from Dimension X to re-assemble on the other side]].

* NotSoAboveItAll: When seeing Krang for the first time, Michelangelo tells his brothers that Krang looks "like a chewed up piece of gum with a face". Moments later, Leonardo calls Krang "Bubblicious."
* OlderThanTheyLook: Due to the actor being recast, the Shredder now looks like a man in his 30's rather than an old master old enough to have raised the 40-something Eric Sachs from childhood. This may possibly be an effect of the dose of mutagen he took at the end of the first movie.

* PainfulTransformation: Averted. Bebop and Rocksteady's transformation ''looks'' painful from the outside, but according to them it feels ''great.''

-->'''Bebop:''' Oh ho, you all got jokes, huh?
-->'''Krang:''' I'll show you what I've got! THIS!
-->'''Leonard:''' NO ONE MESSES... WITH MIKEY!!!

-->'''Krang:''' Hmm...time for a new game! Look out, Earth! It's playtime!

** Rocksteady uses a machine gun on the turtles during a fight inside a cargo aircraft. The hail of bullets proceeds to tear apart the cockpit and sends half off it flying off before the jet starts a nosedive. Even Bebop called him out on it.

-->'''Krang''': [[NoIndoorVoice Place me back in!]]\\

'''Krang''': [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Push me in, you stupid robot!]]\\

'''Krang''': [[YouFool You idiot!]]

** The level of [[spoiler:mostly undeserved]] fame Vern has attained as "the Falcon," is insanely huge and useful to the protagonists.
** April while disguising herself just walks through the Grand Central market and steals clothes from nearby stalls and nobody even notices!

* SequelHook: Krang has been defeated, [[spoiler: but not killed, nor has his war machine the Technodrome been destroyed; both were sent back to their home dimension.]] Shredder is likely joining them, as he was [[spoiler: frozen and stored in the Technodrome]] before the final battle with Krang, meaning he's likely in Krang's home dimension now. Bebop and Rocksteady were defeated by Casey but they survived a grenade to their faces and subsequently arrested. Karai was also defeated by Vern and April, and of course Baxter was taken away by Foot soldiers to somewhere in Tokyo.

-->'''Michaelangelo:''' WHOA!!! (''gets knocked into the water from Bebop & Rocksteady's tank rising out of the water, ready to fire at Donnie'')
-->'''Raph:''' DONNIE!!! (''screames echo; leaps onto the way of the tank and grabs Donnie and frontflips him out of harm's way'')

-->'''Krang:''' [[LampshadeHanging I know what you're feeling right now; you're thinking of all the ways you'd like to kill me!]] [[InsufferableGenius But that would require outthinking me! And no one,]] ''[[InsufferableGenius nothing]]'' [[InsufferableGenius is smarter]] THAN THE KRANG!

* WeWillMeetAgain: [[spoiler: Krang promises a return "thousand times stronger" even as he's being sucked back into his dimension.]]

** [[spoiler: After Stockman succeeds in opening the portal for Krang, Shredder has him dragged off to an unrevealed fate.]]
** [[spoiler: Ironically, Shredder himself suffers this shortly after, as Krang has him frozen and stuck in a trophy room.]]

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
** Post mutant transformation, Bebop and Rocksteady both check out their, um, packages.
** During the scene where Raphael and Mikey go over their plan to April and Casey, there's is a BlinkAndYouMissIt bright red neon sign behind him which reads "Eat Me".

** Rocksteady's police file shows that one of his aliases is "Ivan Steranko," his real name in the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 2012 continuity]].

Creator/MeganFox reprises her role as April O'Neil. Most of the main previous cast returns, except for the Shredder, Karai and Baxter Stockman, who have been recast (now played by Creator/BrianTee, Brittany Ishibashi and Creator/TylerPerry). The movie also introduces Casey Jones (Creator/StephenAmell) and Bebop and Rocksteady (Gary Anthony Williams and Wrestling/{{Sheamus}}), as well as classic villain Krang (Creator/BradGarrett).

Paramount recently announced that the movie will not have a sequel. Pre-planning for another TMNT live-action movie is underway.

* GroinAttack: Casey nails one of the Foot ninjas i nthe family jewels. With his hockey stick. Ouch!

** Rocksteady's police file shows that one of his aliases is "Ivan Steranko", his real name in the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 2012 continuity]].
* NeverMyFault: Leonardo, when he lies about the Purple Ooze by having Donnie keep it a secret from Raphael and Mikey, and when Raph confronts him about it, he bluntly denies it, setting off a brief argument between the two brothers. Later, after the aftermath with the police calling them "monsters" upon first discovery, Raphael calls Leo out on his lying to his brothers, causing Leo to call Raph out for lying to April for the Purple Ooze and yet manages to avoid facing the consequences for his lies the second time around.
** Later, when the brothers are taking a plane back to to New York after their first defeat from facing Bebop and Rocksteady, Raphael, Donnie and Mikey all roast each other for each of his mistake made, causing Leo to intervene and coldly admit to them, "We may be brothers, but we are NOT a team".

* MakeWayForTheNewVillains: Krang is a new and more powerful foe for the Turtles.[[spoiler:Even Shredder gets less of a role than him and ends up frozen near the end.]]

* {{Acrofatic}}: Bebop and Rocksteady are noticeably chubby--especially with the former--but that doesn't [[LightningBruiser slow them down in the slightest]], and they have no problem taking on the Turtles by themselves.

--> '''Police Chief Rebecca Vincent:''' Are you superheroes?\\
'''Raphael:''' We're just four brothers who hate bullies, and love this city.

* AbortedArc: Most of the events of the past movie are forgotten, except that the turtles beat Shredder (or Shredder's western apprentice, anyway). Notably, the end of the first film implied Shredder was going to intentionally mutate himself, but this is never mentioned. [[spoiler: Shredder remains as TheUnfought throughout the ''entire movie'', ending any hope for a rematch in this film.]]

* IdiotBall: Shredder joins forces with a creepy brain creature alien bent on conquering Earth almost immediately, and ''expects'' them to be equal partners with no contingency plan for [[spoiler: being double-crossed]]. This is particularly funny because literally a few minutes before this, Shredder [[spoiler: betrays Baxter Stockman and sends him away to be [[AmbiguousSituation tortured or locked up]] at the Foot's Japanese branch]]. Guess he expected Krang to be more honored than himself.

* InformedAbility: When Krang had assembled his weapon above New York City, it was mentioned that it can cause massive extinction and destruction, but [[spoiler:we never get to see it in action, since the Turtles had disabled it before it's activation]]. Before that, we also see it's pieces fly and brush against skyscrapers, but it's never shown shredding apart the NYC skyline.

** During the scene where Raphael and Mikey go over their plan to April and Casey, there's is a BlinkAndYoullMissIt bright red neon sign behind him which reads "Eat Me".

** During the scene where Raphael and Mikey go over their plan to April and Casey, there's is a BlinkAndYou'llMissIt bright red neon sign behind him which reads "Eat Me".

** Mikey's character poster features a billboard for a zoo in the background - featuring a ''Triceratops'' with the tagline "Discover new worlds" - an allusion to the alien Triceratons.

** During the scene where Raphael and Mikey go over their plan to April and Casey, there's is a BlinkAndYoullMissIt bright red neon sign behind him which reads "Eat Me".

* BigEater: Rocksteady and Bebop are seen eating out of ''oil drums'' full of spaghetti and meatballs.

* TheComicallySerious: The Shredder is played dead seriously and threatening. Krang, Bebop, Rockstead, and Baxter Stockman are all LargeHam, wackier villains (though the former three are still a threat), making most of their interactions with Shredder this.

* GilliganCut: The Shredder speaks of the latest, most powerful, most advanced weapons of the Foot Clan. One Gilligan's Cut later and we are looking at Bebop and Rocksteady stuffing themselves with a couple of barrels of spaghetti and meatballs.

* LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn: From above we see a tank driving through virgin rainforest to the sound of the awesome 70s song "War! Huh!". Then Bebop and Rocksteady pop out from the tank and they are ''singing along to it.''

* SayMyName: Raphael shouting Donnie's name as he goes to save his brother by front-flipping him out of the way of BeBop and RockSteady's tank preparing to shoot him.

* ShoutOut: Rocksteady's character poster, featuring him clad in leather and wielding a large, deadly bat bears quite a few similarities to [[Franchise/TheWalkingDead Negan]].

* TankGoodness: Beebop and Rocksteady drive a tank to navigate their way through the forest. Then Rocksteady tries to shoot Donnie while ''floating the tank down river rapids''.

* NauseaFuel: When Bebop and Rocksteady are eating spaghetti messily out of oil drums, Rocksteady decides to finish up by slurping a long spaghetti noodle in through his ears and through his nostrils down into his mouth.

* InformedPower: When Krang had assembled his weapon above New York City, it was mentioned that it can cause massive extinction and destruction, but [[spoiler:we never get to see it in action, since the Turtles had disabled it before it's activation]]. Before that, we also see it's pieces fly and brush against skyscrapers, but it's never shown shredding apart the NYC skyline.

* CrackingKnuckles: Raphael does this in response to Vern not wanting to confess the truth to Chief Vincent that the turtles were the real heroes who stopped the Shredder in the last film, not him "the Falcon".
