History YMMV / TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIITheSecretOfTheOoze

** After hearing the Turtles' story, Keno made the remarks that they and Splinter were "slimed", by which Splinter was taken aback and Raph was offered. In 2009, [[Creator/ParamountGlobal Viacom]] would purchase the rights to [[Franchise/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]] and make all future projects under {{Creator/Nickelodeon}}, a network renowned for slime that would get dunked on participants of their game shows and award ceremonies.

* BadassDecay: The Shredder. He goes from defeating all the Turtles in the first to getting beaten by an electric keyboard in this film. He even acknowledges the fact he has failed against them when he commissions the creation of Tokka and Rahzar. The fact that his "Super Shredder" form gets defeated in a ''very'' anticlimactic fashion doesn't help.

** The slow, unnerving camera pan through the junkyard as we eventually reach Shredder, who raises an arm to defy death. The music is pretty ominous and frightening as well.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: '''Super Shredder.''' Given what little we saw of him, there could have been a truly awesome final battle that the audience ended up not getting. The [=SNES=] port of ''[[VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTurtlesInTime Turtles In Time]]'', ''The Hyperstone Heist'', ''[[VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTheManhattanProject The Manhattan Project]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesShreddersRevenge Shredder's Revenge]]'' would later fix this by having Super Shredder be the FinalBoss in all four games, with each making him even stronger than what we saw in the movie. ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'' would make up for it even more by having a particularly horrifying take on him as the BigBad of the remainder of the fourth season.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Oroku Saki, the Shredder]], is the mysterious, hateful leader of the Foot Clan, using it to satisfy his own greed and vengeful goals. Years ago murdering the object of his affections, Tang Shen, and the man she loved to sate his own jealous rage, Shredder [[TheFagin lured dozens of troubled youths to join his Foot Clan]] by preying on their need for a family and turning them into criminals, all while uncaring of their well-being and subjecting them to [[TrainingFromHell harsh beatings]] as part of their daily lives. Capturing and torturing Master Splinter to gain info on the Ninja Turtles, Shredder orders the rat killed before trying to murder his surrogate turtle sons as well, claiming he will spare one of their number if the rest surrender, only to [[ILied try to kill them all anyway]]. Returning in the sequel, Shredder forces Professor Perry to create the mutant beasts Tokka and Rahzar, threatening to [[YouHaveFailedMe execute all three of them for failure]] when the monsters have the minds of "stupid infants" before bragging plans to unleash Tokka and Rahzar onto Central Park and endanger countless people. When his plans are foiled, Shredder takes an innocent woman as a hostage, threatening to douse her in mutagen and monstrously transform her while he makes his escape.

* MemeticLoser: Due to how Super Shredder manages to [[SelfDisposingVillain kill himself without the Turtles having to do anything]] and the fact Shredder managed to survive a trash compactor in the first movie, while Super Shredder is killed by being crushed under the docks, the form tends to be made fun of for being an infamous AntiClimaxBoss.

* TearJerker: When the Turtles learn the truth of their origin: they are essentially four orphans who have made a family with their adopted father, and upon learning the truth of where they came from are told quite bluntly by the equivalent of their biological father that they were accidents and were never supposed to have existed in the first place and are essentially [[LastOfHisKind the first, last, and only of their kind in the world.]] Ouch.

''VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTurtlesInTime'' and ''VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTheManhattanProject'' would later fix this. ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'' would make up for it even more by having him be the BigBad of the remainder of the fourth season.

** The Super Shredder. Sure, he ends up coming as soon as he appears, but consider the fact the Turtles couldn't even best him in a fight when he was unmutated. How can they even expect to take him on as a towering, hulking beast?

* A misplaced pause has Splinter responding to the question "What were you doing up on the roof?" with "Coming. ...to a decision."

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Unlike the first film, Donatello acts more like his cartoon counterpart.

* NarmCharm: When the Turtles are on the phone with April, at one point, Leo's face visibly twitches, possibly [[SpecialEffectFailure due to some animatronic glitch]], but given they're cleaning up the abandoned subway station as their new home, it can be [[{{Handwave}} handwaved]] as him being irritated by the dirty and dusty environment.

* SpecialEffectFailure: While they still looked and worked fine enough, there is a slight decline between the suit quality between the first and second films. In the first film each suit was individually made with a build and details unique to each Turtle (Raphael has some tough-guy scars and is the second tallest, Michelangelo is the shortest, Donatello is kind of chubby, and Leonardo is the slimmest and the tallest). In this film, they had four (basically) identical suits with different heads for each Turtle. The heads are also slightly more cartoonish in appearance than they were in the first film.

* ValuesDissonance: Keno insulting a girl who turns hun down by saying he’ll dream of someone thinner is treated as a sick burn meant to endear us to the wisecracking kid. It’s also clearly not meant to be taken too seriously since the actress playing the girl is thin, but today, the movie would be criticized for encouraging fat-shaming; especially considering the mental health issues society has had with intimidating thin people into thinking they’re overweight.

Years ago murdering the object of his affections, Tang Shen, and the man she loved to sate his own jealous rage, Shredder lured dozens of troubled youths to join his Foot Clan by preying on their need for a family and turning them into criminals, all while uncaring of their well-being and subjecting them to [[TrainingFromHell harsh beatings]] as part of their daily lives.
