![Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze [DVD] [1991]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/304b2327-370a-41e7-956a-951dd4939472.png)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 comes to DVD with a pair of transfers. The widescreen anamorphic transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1, and is preferable to the standard full-frame image. Closed-captioned English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Surround. English subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include the trailer, an interactive game, and extra features for those with access to a DVD-ROM drive. This is a solid release from New Line.

Just About As Good As the Original
on May 6, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret Of The Ooze,' isn't quite as good as its predecessor, but it's close enough, and therefore recommended. Look for early 90's rapper 'Vanilla Ice,' singing his made for the movie 'Ninja Rap' song towards films end.

Steve Barron's big-screen treatment of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comes to DVD with a pair of transfers. The widescreen image preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1, and is preferable to the standard full-frame transfer. An English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1 and a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Stereo. English, French, and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include the original theatrical trailer, character biographies, and an interactive game that is played by using the DVD remote control. This is a fine disc from New Line that should entertain Turtles enthusiasts.

Loved It as a Kid
on May 6, 2008

I can't recall exactly how many times I watched this one as a kid, but it was quite a few. Watching it now, the movie seems dated, but it's still something kids will enjoy. Widescreen and full-screen.

Alan Metter helmed the seventh entry in the Police Academy film series, Mission to Moscow. The movie makes its debut on DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo. English, French, and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include the theatrical trailer and a short making-of featurette. This is a decent release that will satisfy fans of the series.

One Movie Too Much
on May 6, 2008

This final installment of the 'Police Academy' franchise is really quite bad, and does nothing but hurt the series. I'd skip this one if I were you.

Former Bob Newhart Show regular Peter Bonerz takes over the directing reigns for Police Academy 6, which comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of the film. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Mono. English, French, and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials are limited to a brief making-of featurette, featuring new interviews with some of the cast and crew, and the original theatrical trailer. This is a fine release that will probably satisfy fans of the Police Academy franchise.

Similar to 'Police Academy 4,' this 6th installment is not quite up to par with the other previous films of the series, but it's not completely awful either. Recommended to fans of the series.

Alan Myerson occupied the director's chair for Police Academy 5, which comes to DVD with a full-frame transfer that fails to preserve the original aspect ratio of the film. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Mono. English, French, and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials are limited to a brief making-of featurette, featuring new interviews with some of the cast and crew, and the original theatrical trailer. This is a fair release that will probably satisfy fans of the Police Academy franchise.

This 5th 'Police Academy' installment helps get the series back on track after the rather disappointing 'Police Academy 4.' Once again, the return of most of the usual cast members is the films strength, and makes for a rather enjoyable comedy experience. Recommended!

Police Academy 4: Citizen on Patrol makes its debut on DVD with a standard full-frame image. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Mono. English, Spanish, and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a making-of featurette and the theatrical trailer. While not the best of the Police Academy DVDs, this disc should still please fans of the series.

'Police Academy 4' was kind of a disappointment. It wasn't quite as bad as the last film, but it certainly left a lot to be desired, especially to those who were fans of the first three. Full-screen, sparse extras.

Excellent Bargain!
on May 6, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
This 2-disc set features all the same materials as the regular dvd releases, at almost half the cost. These are also the two best films of the 'Police Academy' series, so save yourself some money and purchase them together. You can't go wrong.

Police Academy 3 comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of the film. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Mono. English, French, and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials are limited to a brief making-of featurette, featuring new interviews with some of the cast and crew, and the original theatrical trailer. This is a serviceable release that will satisfy fans of the Police Academy franchise.

'Police Academy 3' is my personal favorite film of the series, and I still crack up every time I watch it. Bobcat Goldthwait is just hysterical. Highly recommended! Widescreen, sparse extras.

The first of the many sequels to the hit comedy Police Academy, Police Academy 2 comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of the film.

This is a serviceable release that will satisfy fans of the Police Academy franchise.

I actually thought this second film in the 'Police Academy' series was better than the original. Very funny, with most of the original cast returning. Highly recommended. Widescreen, sparse extras.

Hugh Wilson's popular comedy Police Academy gets a loving 20th anniversary DVD release from Warner Bros. on this disc. The film is presented in a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of the film. English and French soundtracks are faithfully rendered in Dolby Digital Mono. English, French, and Spanish subtitles are accessible. The high point of the extra materials is the commentary track featuring star Steve Guttenberg, G.W. Bailey, sound-effects maker extraordinaire Michael Winslow, Leslie Easterbrook, producer Paul Maslansky, and director Wilson. The group is obviously proud of the film, and has a blast reminiscing. Their good spirits are infectious. The 30-minute making-of featurette is also well done, containing interviews with some of the people who did not take part in the commentary and ending on a bittersweet note with a clip from the deceased David Graf (Tackleberry), who talks about how happy he is if this film is his legacy. This is a solid release from Warner Bros. and is easily the best of all the Police Academy discs.

I Enjoyed This Series of Films
on May 6, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
While not top-notch entertainment, 'Police Academy' is still quite enjoyable, and has plenty of material to keep you laughing. Even better, is that the first couple of sequels were actually superior to this first film. Widescreen and decent bonus features, including ensemble cast commentary. Recommended!
