In a later blog, where he posted about [[WhatCouldHaveBeen his initial plans for the second movie]], he said, answering one of the fans, that he thinks the second one was far more ridiculous compared to the third one.

** Kevin Eastman, in 2014, said the following:

We wanted something that would be good for all ages again. I call [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1990 movie one]] the best, [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIITheSecretOfTheOoze movie two]] the worst, and movie three halfway in between."
