Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the second half of this quote spoken by Michelangelo? "Wise man say, 'Forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for _________'."

Answer: late pizza

When the pizza delivery guy cannot find the address of the turtles' sewer (122 1/8), he wanders to where it should be and shares his confusion out loud, alerting the turtles below to his presence. Michelangelo hears him and gets his attention. Michelangelo then pays the guy by sliding money through the sewer cover but he only pays $10 instead of $13.

When the delivery guy argues that he couldn't find the address, Michelangelo shares this line with the pizza guy.
2. Which of the four turtles is injured as a result of an ambush by the "Foot" ninjas when he is alone?

Answer: Raphael

Normally, the turtles would not be separated but when Leonardo and Raphael get into a heated argument with each other, Raphael gets upset and goes for walk on the roof of the building to cool down a little. While he is alone, Raphael is ambushed by a large group of "Foot" ninjas.

He holds his own against them for awhile, but eventually the number of enemies becomes to much for him and he is overwhelmed. The ninjas beat him up pretty bad and finally send him crashing through the skylight into the top floor of the building where April and the others are. Raphael is knocked unconscious and eventually wakes up a few days later.
3. In the first few minutes of the movie, the turtles have their first battle, saving April from some thieves. During the opening credits they are celebrating and one of Donatello's "celebration exclamations" is "Bossa Nova!" When Leonardo and Michelangelo question him on it, he shrugs and mentions what well-known car? (It is the actual exact line he says - make and model of the car.)

Answer: Chevy Nova

Bossa Nova is actually a music movement from the late 50s and early 60s and is a Brazilian style of music. Bossa Nova literally means "new trend".

Donatello probably went from Bossa Nova to Chevy Nova because they sound similar and Chevy Nova is a kind of play on the word Bossa Nova. A Chevy Nova is, of course, a classic car produced in the sixties and seventies by General Motors. We find out later that Donatello is interested in car repair (when he and Casey Jones are fixing a truck together) so it makes this reference make more sense.
4. When the turtles are all huddled around the campfire and mentally conjure the ghost or spirit of Splinter, they all get upset following the experience. Which turtle, though, is visibly crying (you can see tears on his face)?

Answer: Michelangelo

When the "Foot" ninjas find out where the turtles' hideout is located, they come in while the turtles are gone and kidnap their master, Splinter. The turtles return to April's apartment where they eventually engage in a large battle, leading to the burning down of April's building.

The group flees to a house in the country. Leonardo is meditating one day and "hears" a communication from Splinter, seemingly telepathically. Leonardo gathers the rest of the group and they meditate together around a campfire.

Their meditation leads to what appears to be the conjuring of the spirit of Splinter and Splinter speaks with them briefly. After their experience they are all upset by their emotional encounter with their kidnapped master. Only Michelangelo, though, allows himself to cry.
5. During the fight with the "Foot" ninjas in April's burning antique store, what falls from a dangling, burning wire and hits one of the foot ninjas on the head?

Answer: Answering Machine

The answering machine has an incoming message as Casey Jones continues to fight the ninjas. The message is from April's boss who is calling to fire her over the phone. You hear the entire message and then the answering machine's wire burns through, and it falls onto the head of one of the ninjas.
6. What is a special hobby of April's, that ends up leading to the Shredder finding out that the turtles are back from hiding?

Answer: Drawing

After the fire at April's apartment and store, the group flees to an old house in the country that has been in April's family for years. While they are there, April makes a few drawings of the turtles. When the group returns to their hideout in the city, the discover that Danny, April's boss' son, has run away from home and been living in their hideout. Danny discovers the drawings April had done and asks if he can keep one.

She gives Danny the drawing of Leonardo. Later on, the Shredder grows suspicious of Danny and when Shredder reaches into Danny's pocket, he pulls out the picture, and exclaims, "They're back!"
7. What weapon does Splinter use on the roof, to help him defeat the Shredder?

Answer: Nunchucks

The final battle of the movie takes place between Shredder and the turtles. Shredder is quite strong though, and overpowers the whole group. When he angers them by mentioning Splinter, Leonardo charges Shredder by himself. Unfortunately, Shredder knocks Leonardo down and holds him hostage with a spear-like weapon.

He then forces the other turtles to throw their weapons off the roof. When they do, though, Michelangelo's nunchuck gets caught on the ladder of the fire escape at the edge of the roof. During the turtles' fight on the roof, though, Splinter makes his way to the roof as well.

As he reaches the top, Splinter apparently finds Michelangelo's nunchuck. Then, when Shredder charges Splinter in an attack, Splinter uses the nunchuck to counter the attack and send Shredder off the edge of the roof.
8. When the turtles are hiding out at April's apartment, Michelangelo and Donatello are watching TV at one point. What is on the TV?

Answer: A race between a turtle and rabbit

They are watching a cartoon about a race between a rabbit and turtle and Michelangelo is yelling at the turtle to hurry up. He even yells at the turtle to ninja-kick the rabbit.

Vanilla Ice does not make an appearance in this movie at all but in the second "TMNT - The Secret of the Ooze", the movie ends with a big battle between the turtles and their enemies at a concert where Vanilla Ice is performing on stage.
9. At the end of the movie, Danny is a changed kid and has decided to straighten out. He even decides to return to April something he stole from her. What does he give back to April?

Answer: Cash

He runs over to April and hands her something, surprising her. She says, "What's this?" Danny answers, "It's something I owe you. Trust me." She opens her hand for the camera and we see that it is a $20 bill.

Earlier in the movie, Danny and his father stop by April's house to make sure she is okay after her mugging. While George (Danny's father) and April are talking, Danny is sitting alone at the table and notices April's wallet. He opens it and steals some money from her.
10. What is the turtles' signature celebratory catchphrase? (It is Splinter's favorite also.)

Answer: Cowabunga!

At the end of the movie they are all sharing exclamations of celebration; "Righteous!" "Radical!" etc. Then Splinter says, "I have always liked Cowabunga." The turtles look around at each other and then do a four-way high five and yell, "Cowabunga!" Splinter laughs and says, "I made a funny!"
