Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The actual movie opened with April O'Neil doing a video report on street crime. In the comic adaptation, who was the first character shown?

Answer: A member of the Foot Clan

 The book opens with several panels on page one showing as a member of the Foot Clan sneaks up on and then pickpockets an unsuspecting New Yorker.

The book was drawn by original Turtles creator Kevin Eastman. It's a bit of an oddity, a comic book adaptation of a movie based on a comic book.
2. During her opening news report April called the current violence "the silent crime wave."

Answer: True

In the exposition that was over the opening few panels April called it the "silent crime wave" as she talked about the Foot Clan and an ancient Japanese clan that had migrated to modern day New York.

She also spoke about how some of the victims were robbed in broad daylight and never noticed it until it had already happened.

The panel that line was over showed a member of the gang stealing the TV that was broadcasting her report.
3. When April left the newsroom for the first time in the book she crossed paths with something in the alley that she was disgusted by. What did she see?

Answer: A rat

 April walked out to her car alone and was startled as the rat ran across her path.

When she jumped a bit she muttered, "I hate rats" just before members of the Foot Clan showed up to attack her.
4. Which was the first of the four Turtles to appear in a panel of the book?

Answer: Raphael

 Raphael appeared first when he popped his head up out of the sewers to see April being attacked.

He then threw a sai toward the light in the alley and the rest of the Turtles sprung into action.

This sequence was almost shot for shot out of the movie.
5. In the sewer lair for the first time Mikey ordered a pizza. What topping did he specifically say he did not want?

Answer: anchovies

 Mikey ordered a pizza with several strange toppings, including cheese, ham, pepperoni, mushrooms, onion, sausage and green peppers.

While on the phone he mentioned three times to not put any anchovies on the pie.
6. Which of the four Turtles was shown skateboarding through the sewers?

Answer: Donatello

 Donatello was shown skating through the sewer as he came upon Mikey who was waiting on the pizza delivery guy.

Donnie and Mikey had a short conversation about how something was bothering Splinter and at the end Mikey exclaimed, "Time's up, that's $3 off!"

He had been watching his watch the entire time to see if the delivery man made it in under 30 minutes.
7. After seeing a movie, while walking in the park, who did Raph meet up with?

Answer: Casey Jones

 This was the first appearance of Casey in the book.

Raph stopped a mugger who had stolen a woman's purse. Casey then stepped in and tried to teach the mugger a lesson.

Raph stopped him from beating up the punk and ended up fighting with Casey instead.
8. Charles, April's boss, and his son stopped by her apartment in one scene. What was the son's name?

Answer: Danny

 Among the options only Danny is a character name in the book.

While Charles and April spoke in one room Danny stole money out of April's purse in the living room.
9. After a fight with the Foot Clan, a battered and bruised Raph was thrown through the window of April's antique store.

Answer: False

That is how it happened in the movie. In the graphic novel adaptation, the antique shop was never shown. Instead, the fight happened in April's apartment.
10. As the building was burning down, Casey overhears a message left on April's answering machine. What was it?

Answer: April being fired

 Charles had been warned to back April off of the Foot Clan story as the police didn't think it held any merit.

When April refused to back off, Charles instead decided to fire her and called to leave it on her machine.
11. While on April's family farm Casey Jones became close friends with which of the Turtles?

Answer: Donatello

 Donnie and Casey became close friends. They are shown fixing up an old truck out in the barn and slinging insults back and forth at each other.

Mickey turned to training and Leo sat in the bathroom and tended to Raph's injuries for the early parts of the time on the farm.
12. Which Turtle helped Raph back to health the most?

Answer: Leonardo

 Leonardo spent most of his days and nights in the bathroom with Raph laying the tub unconscious.

Leo and Raph had been fighting prior to the injury. Leo took responsibility for Raph being out alone instead of with his brothers.
13. Casey Jones, the masked vigilante, revealed that he had been a professional hockey player.

Answer: True

While sitting on the porch talking with April, he told her that he had played professionally for less than a year before he was hurt.

He never mentioned in the book which team he had played for.

This scene was not included in the film version.
14. Tatsu, the Shredder's top underling, was eventually defeated by which character?

Answer: Casey Jones

 Tatsu was the leader of the Foot Clan, reporting only to the Shredder. He was in charge of recruiting new members, and discipline.

Casey and Tatsu fought for several panels, when Casey finally picked up a golf club and smashed Tatsu with it.

When the other members of the Foot started to attack Casey he stopped them by pointing out the Foot wasn't really a family, and the crowd disbanded.
15. The final battle came down to defeating the Shredder. Which character delivered the finishing blow?

Answer: Master Splinter

 That's right, in both the movie and the comic book adaptation called "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" none of the Turtle defeated either the the two "big bads" shown.

The Turtles fought with Shredder for a while and then Splinter appeared. Shredder and Splinter squared off alone, with Splinter delivering the blow that knocked Shredder off the roof of the building.

Where exactly Shredder landed was not shown in the book.

A little post script scene, not in the film but added to the book, is a page where April takes her drawings of the Turtles to a comic book company and is turned down because the idea was too "fantastic" to be believed.
