History Film / TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIITheSecretOfTheOoze

->''"Ten flips now...and remember... go ninja go ninja go!"''

This movie was also notable for the one-time character Keno--played by Creator/ErnieReyesJr--a martial artist/pizza delivery boy who provided some assistance for the turtles after they saved his hide from a group of muggers. He disappeared from the rest of the movies. Tokka and Rahzar were original characters made for the movie as well, but this would not be the last we would see of them. The mutant duo would appear later in an episode of the original cartoon, the video games ''VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTurtlesInTime'' and ''The Manhattan Project'', as well as the IntercontinuityCrossover movie ''WesternAnimation/TurtlesForever''.

Infamous for the appearance of rapper Music/VanillaIce, who (in the context of the movie; it was presumably written ahead of time) came up with a rap almost instantaneously when the fight between the turtles and Tokka and Rahzar wound up at his gig at a club. It also featured pro wrestler Wrestling/KevinNash as Super Shredder, the monster that Shredder turns into after drinking the last vial of the ooze.

** The turtles when they see Tokka and Rahzar for the first time.

** The turtles when they encounter the Foot again and later when they realize that their donut plan didn't work.

** The turtles again when they encounter Super Shredder at the docks.

* ThemeMusicPowerUp: Once Splinter rescues the turtles from Shredder's net, their theme music (not the cartoon theme song, mind you, but their ''movie'' theme, a bouncy synth-rock number) kicks in, as they begin to whoop some Foot Clan butt.

* CanonImmigrant: Tokka and Rahzar made their way into other ''TMNT'' continuities.

* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler:Super-Shredder]], who re-emerges from the waters after drinking the entire canister of ooze in his possession in a desperate attempt to kill the turtles once and for all. Not only did he TookALevelInBadass, but he also TookALevelInDumbass--focused only on his targets, he unceremoniously causes the docks to collapse on him by recklessly hitting their foundations while the turtles just barely escape the destruction.
* DumbMuscle: Tokka and Rahzar. When he's kidnapped and forced by Shredder to mutate the two animals, TGRI Professor Jordan Perry alters the mutagen a little so that their intelligence would not increase. As such, when Shredder demands they call him "master," they misinterpret the word as "mama" and [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments hug the bejesus out of him]].

* KilledOffForReal: After surviving the previous film being crushed and sent to a landfill, Shredder dies after trying to take down the Turtles with him in the docks.
* LastGraspAtLife: Shredder begins the film by reaching his hand out from a pile of garbage. At the end he thrusts his hand out from the ruins of the dock that had just fallen on top of him, only to die.

He disappeared from the rest of the movies. Tokka and Rahzar were original characters made for the movie as well, but this would not be the last we would see of them.

* WhatTheFuAreYouDoing: In the junior novelization, Keno spots Mikey's 'chucks in April's apartment. When she tries to convince him that they're really hers, she ends up smacking herself multiple times.

* {{Dedication}}: Dedicated to Jim Henson.

'''Michelangelo''': [[RuleofThree Yeah, a little]] ''[[RuleofThree too]]'' [[RuleofThree Raph]]. (Mikey gets smacked for being a wiseass)

* JustEatGilligan: When the Shredder has trapped the Turtles in a rope net and is preparing to drop them onto a bunch of sharp objects, the Turtles just panic until Splinter frees them instead of Leonardo using his katana swords to cut the ropes.

* NonIndicativeTitle: The titular "secret of the ooze" is that there is no secret to the ooze.

* BookEnds: At the beginning, Shredder's first appearance is his hand rising out of the garbage heap, indicating that he's still alive. At the end, after he gets crushed by a pier, his hand once again rises out of the rubble, only to collapse, indicating that he's finally gone for good.

* FiveSecondForeshadowing: While in the junkyard rescuing Raphael, Leonardo explains that the Foot will spring a trap for them soon. A few seconds later, they get trapped in a net.

* IWarnedYou: When Donatello and Michaelangelo try giving Tokka and Rahzar donuts containing the mutagen cubes, Raphael tells Leonardo the plan won't work. Leonardo doesn't listen and tells Raphael they will eat anything. Minutes later, when Rahzar crushes the donut to reveal the cubes, Raphael tells Leonardo "I told you it wasn't gonna work."

** Donatello, Michelangelo and Leonardo when they fall victim to the Foot's trap in the junkyard.

** At April's apartment: [[Film/TheKarateKid "Wax on, wax off!"]]

* {{Dedication}}: ''Ninja Turtles II'' was dedicated to Jim Henson.

* {{Expy}}: Tokka and Rahzar are original creatures, standing in for Bebop and Rocksteady from the '87 series. Originally, they ''were'' supposed to be them, but were changed.

* {{Irony}}: April picks up all the stuff left around the apartment by the turtles, and mutters, "The ''rat'' is the cleanest one."

* VileVillainSaccharineShow: Even as the sequel became more sillier, the Shredder attempts to stay as threatening as he was in the first film. [[http://comicsalliance.com/comicsalliance-reviews-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-ii-2/ One reviewer]] even remarked that Shredder's character arc in the film seemed to be him being frustrated that his life has basically turned into a cartoon.

* IWarnedYou: When Donatello and Michaelangelo try giving Tokka and Rahzar donuts containing the mutagen cubes, Raphael tells Leonardo the plan won't work. Leonardo doesn't listen and tells Raphael they will eat anything. Minutes later, when Tokka crushes the donut to reveal the cubes, Raphael tells Leonardo "I told you it wasn't gonna work."

** Donatello when Rahzar throws him into the house where Perry was captured.

* {{The Unchosen One}}s: The Turtles discover that the creation of the ooze that changed them was purely an accident. Don was not very happy to learn this. He always thought [[IJustWantToBeSpecial they were special]] and believes there's got to be more to it. There isn't.

Also the only Ninja Turtles movie made thus far to not feature Casey Jones. At all. Up until the 2014 reboot.

* BigDamnHeroes: Keno kicks away the Ooze canister from Shredder's hand so that Perry can retrieve it.

* HeroicBSOD: Don goes through a brief one when he realizes that the Turtles' mutation was caused by accident.

** Donatello in the laboratory when a Foot Clan member knocks the Ooze canister out of his hand.

* OhCrap: Raph, when the Shredder appears in front of him, after insulting Tatsu.
-->'''Raph:''' You know pal, if I had a face like yours, I try to make it up for with some sort of a personality. Ha ha ha! ''[Shredder steps out between him and Tatsu]'' Shredder!
