Any time I see a yellow jacket, I can't help but think of April O'Neil. Heck, I feel like her any time I'm at the Bruins games wearing my yellow blazer and holding a microphone.
The '90s trilogy was the first wave of films, followed by an animated TMNT in 2007 starring the voice of Chris Evans, the 2014 smash Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles starring Megan Fox and two more films that collectively grossed $1.3 billion worldwide.
