The Foot Clan is back, and back at the helm is Shredder (Creator/FrancoisChau, with voice dubbing by David [=McCharen=]), thought dead by practically everyone. Scarred from his dive into a trash compactor, he is out for revenge against the Ninja Turtles Leonardo (Mark Caso and Rob Tygner, with voice dubbing by Brian Tochi), Michelangelo (Michelan Sisti and Mak Wilson, with voice dubbing by Creator/RobbieRist), Donatello (Leif Tilden and Rob Mills, with voice dubbing by Adam Carl) and Raphael (Kenn Troum and David Greenaway, with voice dubbing by Laurie Faso). Their numbers may be diminished, but they have something to even the odds. Taking a sample of the waste that birthed the Turtles from the TGRI laboratory, the Foot has two deadly enforcers in the form of Tokka and Rahzar (Kurt Bryant and Mark Ginther, with voice dubbing by Creator/FrankWelker), a mutated snapping turtle and wolf.

* AesopAmnesia: In the first film Raph got into a big fight with Leo and ran off to the rooftops to blow off some steam, which is when the Foot catch him alone and he gets beaten up really badly. Here Raph gets into another fight with Leo complaining about them relocating and goes out to find the new Foot home base alone, where he gets captured.

* DenserAndWackier: Not to the point of being an outright comedy, but there are definitely more comedic moments than the original film. Plus some of the fight scenes are sillier the way they're executed (see: the fight scene at the beginning with "weapons" like sausage links; the lab fight scene which becomes an impromptu football game).

* SequelHook: When Keno knocks away a canister of ooze from Shredder, Dr. Perry is shown retrieving it and suspiciously skulking away, not seen for the rest of the film. This is not followed up on, though rumors say he was supposed to be revealed as an Utrom.

Leo reminds him that the Foot Clan, the evil Ninja clan they fought in the last film, know where it is, hence the need to move. Despite Raph brushing them off due to their (seemingly) thorough defeat, [[ProperlyParanoid this proves to be prudent when the Foot Clan begin making a come-back]].

* NothingIsScarier: This was clearly the intention of Shredder entering in shadow without his faceplate on and everyone else staring at him in shock. This is a reasonably effective moment in itself, but as noted above, the holes in the faceplate allow us to later see his mouth moving. It demonstrates he doesn't actually look any worse for wear after his garbage truck experience, thus negating the effect.

** Shredder thinks with the ooze, he can make two powerful mutants to fight for him. However, while Toka and Rahzar mutate into bigger monsters, they turn out to have the mindset of babies. After all, as shown in the first film's backstory flashback, the Turtles took a while to develop too after they mutated, so Shredder forgot to take that into account. He does manage to make the most of it at Professor Perry's insistence.
