Plot hole: When April O'Neil calls Vernon Fenwick (drives the channel 6 van), he answers his phone and immediately says "O'Neil". When the scene cuts back to O'Neil, we see she called from a payphone. Fenwick would have no way to know it was her calling.

9.7/10. My favorite of all the TMNT movies. I grew up on the the original cartoon, the toys, the original movie trilogy. I never felt this movie ruined my childhood, rather I felt like a giddy kid again. Megan Fox was great as April, she really put a lot of effort into the role as did everyone else. One of the best scenes, chase down the mountain by the Foot was so cool. The Turtles look was incredible, they were well done. I understand some people's views, perfectly fine, but some, like myself, just loved having the Turtles back on the big screen. Turtle Power.

April: You're ninja...mutant...turtle...teenagers?
Donatello: When you put it like that it sounds ridiculous.
Trivia: When Splinter reveals that he knows April and she speaks his name, the camera pans over Mikey as he asks if she is a Jedi and he can be seen holding a can of Orange Crush. As promotion for the movie, Mikey was featured on the boxes of Orange Crush soda once the movie came out. Similarly with Donnie on Grape Crush and Raph on Strawberry Crush.
Question: How does Splinter know who shredder is? It's established that his first memories are from the lab so that's how he knows Eric Sacks is a bad guy and April saved them, but how does Splinter know Sacks is working for the foot and is connected to shredder? He even knows shredder trained Sacks as a boy, but this was in Japan, 20 to 30 years before Splinter was around.
Answer: Sacks told April that he was raised in Japan by a local sensei, and that he shared the lessons he learnt with her father. Splinter would have overheard Sacks mention his master at the lab, as well as when O'Neil discovered what he was up to with Project Renaissance and his connection to Shredder and the Foot Clan.

Suggested correction: That isn't a plot hole. Vernon assumed April was the person calling him and was correct. People do this all the time in real life.
