TMNT2 is not a guilty pleasure of mine. I actually treat it like an honest-to-god good movie. lol

The pizza in the intro looked so damn delicious, and when I was little I thought Keno was badass. I mean, the dude flirted with ladies, (probably) got free pizza all the time, knew karate and hung out with the turtles. Plus, he could defend himself. He wasn't a pussy like Danny from the first film. Tokka and Rahzar were a pretty good tradeoff for Bebop and Rocksteady. I still say "Babies! They're... BABIES!" whenever I see a baby animal. And yes, the vanilla ice scene is great.

Why not let the Iceman tell us more about this great scene?

"Which one is the ugly one!?" and "Didn't we see these guys at Wrestlemania?" rank as some of my all time favorite movie quotes.

Donatello: The perimeter's quiet.
Leonardo: Yeah, a little too quiet.

Donatello: Well, that was easy!
Leonardo: Yeah, a little too easy.
Donatello: Look! It's Raph!
Michaelangelo: Yeah, a little too Raph.

Love it :D.
The Gamespy Debriefings did a commentary podcast to accompany the movie after they referenced it so much.

Raph: Mouth off.

I know you guys are gonna hate me for this, but I had a lot of fun watching this movie.
But all the flaws that many have pointed out, it's true, right down to the cheesy story.

I mean, a guy who spents billions of dollars for an actual tournament for the purpose of creating some silly glasses that you can get on any supermarket chain store?

It's beyond silly. But the beauty is that it's actually a fairly decent adaptation given the game's source material which is next to none. Perhaps one of the movie's saving graces is that unlike the DOA girls in the video game, which are basically the same character model made out of porcelain, at least you can tell them apart(even though, 95% of their dialogue is beyond atrocious).

Bad, but "good" bad.
