Cowabunga! The Original TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES Trilogy Is Finally Hitting 4K UHD
Fans of the heroes in a half shell are in for a radical treat. Arrow Video is bringing the original live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trilogy to 4K Ultra HD for the first time—complete with fresh restorations, upgraded audio, and limited-edition packaging. I’ve always loved the first two; the third lost me back in the day… maybe this is the nudge I needed to give it another shot.
