Did anyone find it difficult to watch the Shredder smack Splinter in the face?


I love the movie but the scene where Shredder goes up to Splinter and smacks him in the face made me wince.

reply

You are a sissy.

reply

No I'm not, it was a scene I feel wasn't for the faint of the heart

reply

Yeah sort of but its not as bad knowing what happens at the end of the movie.

reply

I thought seeing what happens to the Shredder at the end of the movie was hilarious, especially Casey Jones' reaction afterwards.

reply

Never thought much of it as a child, but I appreciate it more as an adult the portrayal of Saki's violent cruelty.

reply

I always jokingly say that part is much too graphic

reply

Well that might the reaction they're going for, Shredder is evil and he was pissed that the turtles were besting his men.

reply

Yep. Movie got the reaction it intended
