Genre: Action, Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy
<p>“The second part of the story about the Turtles saving New York from the villains was filmed in the United States and Brazil. The main shooting took place in New York City, where real city streets and landmarks were used. Such landmarks as Grand Central Station, Madison Square Garden, American Museum of Natural History, Times Square, Liberty Island appear in the frame. Other memorable locations include Vazac's Horseshoe Bar and Jane's Carousel in Brooklyn Bridge Park. Scenes involving the search for the portal fragments were filmed in Brazil. Foz do Iguaçu was ideal for this purpose, providing unique natural scenery and adding to the exoticism of the movie. <br /> The choice of these locations allowed us to create a more realistic and dynamic movie that matches the spirit of the original Ninja Turtles story.”</p>
