* TheyJustDidntCare: The only possible justification for the half-assed costumes and animatronics of the third movie, although this could also be assumed in regards to the lack of original music in its soundtrack. Whereas the others had original songs, the suits in charge of the third movie's album grabbed a bunch of older songs and called it an "Original Motion Picture Soundtrack."
** As noted above though, the third movie has some of the best fights of the live-action trilogy. You win some, you lose some.

Tropes that pertain to the films:
* AndTheFandomRejoiced: Mako being the voice of Splinter. Plus the fact that JimHenson designed the creatures, and the trailer for the first film (which didn't even have the Turtles' proper voices dubbed in yet) made a lot of people think the first movie might actually be worth watching.
* CompleteMonster: This version of the Shredder ''really'' is just a bastard with no redeeming features that might be present in other versions.
* CrowningMusicOfAwesome:
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vg5w7rYT3pM "Shredder's Suite"]], the song that plays throughout the first film during different scenes, usually when the Shredder or the Foot Clan are a big part of the scene. The first film in general had a nice soundtrack.
** "Ninja Rap" ''wanted'' to be this, though at best its a GuiltyPleasure or SoBadItsGood.
** In the fourth movie, Raphael fights a small monster inside a cafe kitchen accompanied by Big City Rock's cover of "Black Betty".
* EarWorm
** From the first movie, "Turtle Power" by Partners In Kryme. Although it [[DidNotDoTheResearch incorrectly cites Raph as leader]], it's still a {{narm charm}}ing rap of the highest caliber. It would be reused in the soundtrack CD of the third movie, though that might've been because the guys in charge [[TheyJustDidntCare just didn't care]]. Spunkadelic's "9.95," thought to a much lesser extent, is also catchy in its own right, and would be reused in the trailer for the second movie.
** The second--of course--features "The Ninja Rap" by Vanilla Ice, which asks you if you've "ever seen a turtle get down" and requests all ninjas to advance forward...in other words, "GO NINJA GO NINJA GO!"
** The third movie has ZZ Top's "Can't Stop Rockin'" and Baltimora's "Tarzan Boy," although both were former '80s chart toppers.
** ''TMNT'' features "Shell Shock" by Gym Class Heroes, which is catchier than it had any right to be.
* MagicFranchiseWord: "Man, I ''love'' being a turtle!"

** Now consider how the makers of the suits for that outing also did the animatronics of ''ShortCircuit''... [[SarcasmMode Says a lot doesn't it]]?
*** Other failures that don't involve the animatronics (directly or indirectly) include:
** [[spoiler:Walker's]] death in ''Ninja Turtles III'', where he falls to a watery grave without making a splash, apparently just disappearing while making a splash sound. After examining this failure, AVGN noted that if the crew didn't want to spend extra money on animating a splash, they could've cut to a shot of the turtles watching the plunge as an off-screen splash is heard.

* TearJerker: The campfire scene in the first movie is perhaps the film series' greatest tear jerker. Still gets this now grown up troper to this day. It comes off as even more sad if you see it as how Splinter probably intended it to be: [[spoiler:a final goodbye]].
** The scene becomes even stronger when Michelangelo, who until that point, had been the [[ThePollyanna among the most laid-back about the overall situation]] (along with Donatello) [[spoiler: actually starts crying and has to have Donatello comfort him, whilst he wipes the tears away]].
** There's actually one at the beginning of the movie too where Splinter confronts Raphael about his anger and Raph breaks down in tears over his perceived failures.
