      		 In the UK it (the Cartoons and comics) was originally retitled Teenage Mutant 'Hero' Turtles. Apparetnly Ninja was a violent word and would corrupt youths, even though we already had a dozen video games with the word Ninja in, each twice as violent as the TMHT cartoon. You can hear on retrojunk that there are even two theme songs.

      By the time the movie came out, the authorities had relaxed enough to allow it to go under the TMNT moniker. This said, they still took out EVERY reference to swinging nunchukas, due to a spate of copycat playground incidents with skipping ropes.

      Of course now, what with twelve year old alcoholics, Happy Slappers and joy riders that can't see over the steering wheel, the re branded and re drawn cartoon happily goes under the TMNT name. AND when the film was shown recently, the nunchukas were back....

      Changing times....

        		 I heard that they retitled it because of that... What a load of crap.. Iam sorry for you dudes back in England. But I find it ironic that a country that for centuries wiped out entire populations, mass murdered their OWN people, gave birth to one of the most violent and brutal music scenes the world has ever seen (Punk music), has movies of extreme violence and rape like a Clockwork Orange that take place in England, has Monty Pythons flying circus and the Young ones that are both publicly broadcasted which depict Kamakazie Higlanders and people beating each other up.... yet the word "Ninja" is highly questionable??????

        Censors are weird :roll:
