Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze#Critical response

In New York City, following the events of the first film a young pizza delivery boy named Keno inadvertently encounters burglars on his route and tries to stop them. The burglars attack Keno, who proves to be a skilled martial artist, but he is soon overwhelmed before the arrival of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They vanish after rescuing Keno, tying the burglars up, and taking the pizza he was delivering, leaving behind the money to pay for it.

Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael, along with their master Splinter, are currently living with April O'Neil while looking for a new place to live after defeating The Shredder. Splinter wants to remain in the shadows, while Raphael thinks they should live out in the open. At a junkyard where the remnants of The Foot and the Shredder's second-in-command Tatsu are hiding out, they are met by their master, who has been disfigured by his previous defeat{{efn|As depicted in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)}} and vows revenge on the turtles.

April interviews Professor Jordan Perry of Techno Global Research Industries (TGRI) about a possible toxic waste leak. He assures her that everything is fine, but their scientists secretly discover dandelions which have been mutated by the leak. Freddy, a spy for the Foot Clan posing as April's cameraman, discovers this, collects one of the dandelions, and reports it to his master, who decides to have Perry interrogated. Back at April's apartment, Splinter reveals to her and the turtles that the canister of mutagen (dubbed "Ooze" by the turtles) which mutated them 15 years prior was created by TGRI, and they too decide to talk to Perry. The Foot gets to Perry first and kidnap him, salvaging the last canister of ooze in the process. The turtles attempt to get the canister back, but ultimately fail. Afterwards, Keno gets into April's apartment under the guise of delivering pizza and discovers Splinter and the turtles.

At the Shredder's hideout, Perry is forced to use the remaining ooze on a snapping turtle and a wolf, which mutates them into Tokka and Rahzar, respectively. With the imminent threat to April's safety by the Foot Clan, the turtles start to actively look for a new home. After an argument with Leonardo, Raphael breaks off from the group, while Michelangelo discovers the abandoned City Hall subway station and deems it a perfect hideout. Raphael and Keno defy Splinter's orders and implant Keno into the Foot Clan to find their hideout. However, they are caught and Raphael is captured, while Keno escapes to warn the others. When they come, they are ambushed by the Shredder and the Foot; Splinter saves the group, but leaves as they face Tokka and Rahzar, who prove too strong to defeat. Donatello finds a bound and gagged Perry after being tossed into a building by Tokka, and the five of them make a tactical retreat. Once back in their hideout, Perry explains that the creation of the ooze was an accident, disheartening Donatello, Leonardo and Raphael, who saw a higher purpose for their existence.

The Shredder unleashes Tokka and Rahzar into a nearby neighborhood to cause damage. The next day, Freddy sends a message to April that Tokka and Rahzar will be released into Central Park if the turtles don't meet the Foot Clan at the construction site. Perry develops an antidote to the mutations, but it must be ingested to work. When the turtles confront the Foot at the site, they try using donuts to trick Tokka and Rahzar into eating the antidote. Tokka and Rahzar soon discover the trick and brutally attack, throwing Raphael into a public dance club where Vanilla Ice is performing. A big fight ensues among hundreds of witnesses. The club owners consider calling the police but see that their customers are enjoying the show. Eventually the turtles revert Tokka and Rahzar back to their natural state, using a fire extinguisher. Shredder appears and fights with the turtles on the dock, having transformed into a Super Shredder after consuming the last of the ooze. The heavily mutated Shredder is too strong for the turtles to fight, but he rips the dock apart in his rampage, causing it to collapse and kill him, much to the turtles' relief.

In a press release, April reads a note from Perry, thanking the turtles for saving him. When they return home, Splinter orders the four of them to do ten flips as punishment for being seen by humans, as evidenced by the morning's newspaper.

Due to the massive success of the first film, a sequel was expected.{{cite web | last=Edwards |first=Dave | title=Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze| work=culturedose.net | url=http://www.culturedose.net/review.php?rid=10005093 | access-date=21 September 2006 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20060625153408/http://www.culturedose.net/review.php?rid=10005093 |archive-date = 25 June 2006}} The film was produced on a budget of US$25 million, nearly twice the budget of the 1990 film, which was $13.5 million.{{cite web | title=Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) | work=Boxofficemojo.com| url=https://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=teenagemutantninjaturtles.htm | access-date=21 September 2006 }} Like the first film, New Line Cinema distributed The Secret of the Ooze.

Ernie Reyes Jr., who was Donatello's fight double in the first film, was cast as a new character, Keno, as the producers admired Reyes and his performance in the first movie so much they asked him to join the sequel. Todd W. Langen returned from the first film to write the screenplay.

The characters of Bebop and Rocksteady, who were popular villains in the 1987 animated series, could not be used due to Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird objecting, with the latter stating that "their constant one-note shtick in the first animated series [was] extremely annoying and silly to the point of being stupid".{{cite web |last1=Beresford |first1=Jack |title=What Went Wrong With Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze? |url=https://www.denofgeek.com/movies/what-went-wrong-with-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-2-secret-of-the-ooze/ |website=Den of Geek |date=22 March 2021 |access-date=9 June 2022}} As a result, Tokka and Rahzar were created.{{cite news|title=Ask PL #13|url=http://peterlairdstmntblog.blogspot.com/2014/10/ask-pl-13.html|quote=It is true that I didn't want them in any of the movies, which is why instead of Bebop and Rocksteady in the second movie (The Secret of the Ooze) there were Tokka and Rhazar.

The abandoned subway station, the new lair for the Turtles, is based on the real-life decommissioned City Hall station of the New York City Subway, built by the former Interborough Rapid Transit Company. The station is not completely abandoned, as it appears in the movie. Trains pass through the station daily as they turn around to head uptown, and passengers ride through the station, but the train does not stop and so they cannot disembark. During filming of the scene where the Turtles are trapped in the net and fall to the ground, one of the stuntmen broke an ankle. Some filming took place in North Carolina, like the first, where the New York City skyline was created at the North Carolina Film Studios.{{cite web | title=TMNT I | work=ninjaturtles.com| url= http://www.ninjaturtles.com/movies/movie1.htm | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/19990824113352/http://www.ninjaturtles.com/movies/movie1.htm | archive-date = 1999-08-24 | access-date= 2018-11-13 }} The building used for the entrance to April's apartment is the office of the New York location of Jim Henson's Creature Shop, which did the animatronics work for the film and its predecessor. The film is dedicated to the memory of Jim Henson, who had died the previous May.

An original motion picture soundtrack was released alongside the film in 1991 by SBK Records.{{cite web | title=TMNT Soundtracks| work=ninjaturtles.com| url= http://www.ninjaturtles.com/html/scores.htm | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20000525164552/http://www.ninjaturtles.com/html/scores.htm | archive-date = 2000-05-25| access-date = 2018-11-13 }} The soundtrack featured 10 tracks from the film, and music from artists such as Magnificent V11, produced by Troy Duncombe and Mickey Mahoney of Cat and Moose productions, Ya Kid K, Cathy Dennis and David Morales, Tribal House and Dan Hartman. The most famous song featured on the soundtrack is "Ninja Rap" performed by rapper Vanilla Ice. The song featured prominently, and Ice makes an appearance as himself. This song tricked the audience into believing the fight was a harmless "show" and thus not to panic. A music video was produced for "Ninja Rap".

The soundtrack features two original pieces from the Orchestra On the Half Shell. The original music was composed by John Du Prez, who won a BMI Film Music Award for his work.{{cite web | title=Awards for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze| work=IMDb.com| url= https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103060/awards | access-date=21 September 2006 }}{{unreliable source?|date=April 2015}}

The Secret of the Ooze was released in theaters on March 22, 1991, in the United States, and subsequently in other countries from June through to August. The film was number one in North America on its first weekend of release, taking in over {{US$|20 million}},{{cite news|title= Weekend Box Office A Nice Little Start for 'Turtles'|work= The Los Angeles Times|url= https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1991-03-26-ca-1066-story.html|access-date=2010-11-09}} and eventually making $78,656,813 in total, generating theatrical rentals of $41.9 million.

Like its predecessor, the sequel was censored in the UK due to usage of forbidden weapons (the nunchaku), such as during the opening credits sequence where Michelangelo imitates their use by swinging a pair of sausages. The edits were waived for the DVD release in 2002.{{cite web|url=http://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=1742672|title=Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze (Comparison: BBFC PG VHS - BBFC PG DVD) - Movie-Censorship.com|author=Gerald Wurm|work=movie-censorship.com}} The German version was not censored visually; as with the first film, funny cartoon sound effects were added to the fight scenes to soften the violence.

The second film received mixed from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 35% based on reviews from 43 critics, with the consensus: "Not only is the movie's juvenile dialogue unbearable for adults, but the turtles' dopey and casual attitude towards physical violence makes them poor kids' role models".{{cite web | title= Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 – The Secret of the Ooze (1991)| work= Rotten Tomatoes | url= https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/teenage_mutant_ninja_turtles_2_the_secret_of_the_ooze/ | access-date= 13 November 2018 }} On Metacritic, the film has a score of 45 out of 100 based on reviews from 20 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".{{Cite web|url=https://www.metacritic.com/movie/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-ii-the-secret-of-the-ooze|title=Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze|via=www.metacritic.com}}

Dave Kehr of The Chicago Sun Times calls the film "a fast, funny, engagingly unpretentious 88 minutes that, moving between martial-arts dustups and random satirical jibes, achieves a more successful mix of action and humor than the first. There is plenty for adults here as well as children".{{cite news | date = March 22, 1991 | author = Dave Kehr | title = Super 'Turtles' 'II' Shows They're No Flash In The Shell | url = https://www.chicagotribune.com/1991/03/22/super-turtles/ | newspaper = The Chicago Sun Times | url-status = live | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150413234914/http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1991-03-22/entertainment/9101260227_1_mutated-mutant-ninja-turtles-ii-martial-arts | archive-date = 2015-04-13 | access-date = 2018-11-13 }}

Janet Maslin of The New York Times noted that "the Turtles fight less, clown more and stray too far from their beloved sewers" and called it an improvement, and was relieved that they had at least made a mainstream movie.{{cite web |date= 1991-03-22 |last= Maslin |first= Janet |url= https://www.nytimes.com/1991/03/22/movies/turtles-clean-up-their-act-but-still-try-the-patience.html |title=Turtles Clean Up Their Act But Still Try the Patience |work=The New York Times | url-status = live | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090705095940/https://www.nytimes.com/1991/03/22/movies/turtles-clean-up-their-act-but-still-try-the-patience.html | archive-date = 2009-07-05|access-date=2015-09-18}} Maslin stated that the Turtles "clean up their act" in the movie and also praised Secret of the Ooze for containing scenes referencing then-growing popular culture trends which were considered major competitors to the TMNT franchise's "greatest assets," such as rap music and Bart Simpson. Lloyd Bradley of Empire gave the film three out of five stars, saying, "This lacks the darkness and subtlety that makes the first film so good, and so adult, but its simplified plot and gags will appeal to the under tens".{{Cite web|url=https://www.empireonline.com/movies/reviews/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-ii-secret-ooze-review/|title=Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret Of The Ooze|website=Empire|date=2000 }}

Gene Siskel at The Chicago Tribune was just as unimpressed by this film as the first, calling it "a martial-arts movie in rubber uniforms". Siskel considers that he is an adult "forgetting the sort of mindless entertainment that he himself enjoyed as a child" but rejects the idea and calls the fight scenes "more depressing than joyful".{{cite news | date = March 22, 1991 | author = Gene Siskel | author-link = Gene Siskel | newspaper = The Chicago Tribune | title = Ninja Turtles II Depressing, Not Joyful | url = https://www.chicagotribune.com/1991/03/22/ninja-turtles-ii-depressing-not-joyful/ | url-status = live | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20121009125444/http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1991-03-22/entertainment/9101260198_1_turtles-ninja-water-tower | archive-date = 2012-10-09 | access-date = 2018-11-13 }} Roger Ebert of The Chicago Sun Times complains that the Turtles look essentially the same, and suggests they are an "emblem of our drab and dreary times" and that they are "an example of the hazards of individuality". He says kids are getting a bad deal and compared to the comic book heroes he grew up with they are being robbed of "a sense of wonder".{{cite web | date = March 22, 1991 | author = Roger Ebert | author-link= Roger Ebert | title = Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret Of The Ooze | website = RogerEbert.com | url = https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-ii-the-secret-of-the-ooze-1991 | url-status = live | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140709053232/https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-ii-the-secret-of-the-ooze-1991 | archive-date = 2014-07-09 | access-date = 2018-11-13 }}

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise was arguably at the height of its popularity around the time that The Secret of the Ooze was released in theaters. A number of tie-ins were brought out alongside the release of the film. A new line of toys were introduced for the release of the film, including "Movie Star" toys of all four Turtles, with the box art depicting stills from the film, and a cartoon rendition of the turtles gathered around a canister of ooze in the top right corner of the package.{{cite web |title=Movie Star Raph |url=http://www.ninjaturtles.com/toys/1991/msraph.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060908054609/http://www.ninjaturtles.com/toys/1991/msraph.htm |archive-date=8 September 2006 |access-date=22 September 2006 |work=ninjaturtles.com}} In contrast to the usual Turtles' figures, the film series figures were softer and more rubbery, to better reflect the look of the animatronic costumes used in the films. They featured ball joints at the neck, shoulders, and hips, and each figure came with a small, plastic canister with a sticker of "ooze" wrapped around them. An official film adaptation was also released by Eastman and Laird.{{cite book |author1=Kevin Eastman |title=Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze (Paperback) |author2=Peter Laird |date=March 1, 1991 |publisher=Tundra |isbn=1879450089}}

Figurines of Super Shredder, Tokka and Rahzar were also available, though they were not as closely aligned to the film as the four turtles were.{{cite web |title=Super Shredder |url=http://www.ninjaturtles.com/toys/1991/supershred.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060907173610/http://www.ninjaturtles.com/toys/1991/supershred.htm |archive-date=7 September 2006 |access-date=22 September 2006 |work=ninjaturtles.com}} The Playmates company produced the figurines.{{cite web |title=1991 Playmates Toys Catalog |url=http://www.ninjaturtles.com/toys/1991.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060907143619/http://www.ninjaturtles.com/toys/1991.htm |archive-date=7 September 2006 |access-date=22 September 2006 |work=ninjaturtles.com}} The Turtles franchise had by now also immersed itself into the food industry, with characters from the franchise appearing on numerous food products. Royal Gelatin Desserts adapted the "Ooze" name into their product, and featured the Turtles on the packages.{{cite web |title=Snacks from the Sewer |url=http://www.x-entertainment.com/articles/0946/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130105200537/http://www.x-entertainment.com/articles/0946/ |archive-date=5 January 2013 |access-date=22 September 2006 |work=x-entertainment.com}} The boxes
