Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles features a scene where Sam Rockwell introduces 90s kids to skateboarding and poker.
Hammer break dancing!!!
Free martial arts classes!!!
Poker tournaments!!!!!
This is a sequence that no Hollywood studio would dare put in a family movie today.
Nor is it one they would have played around with in 1990.
But then,Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtleswasnt a Hollywood production.
But by and large indie cinema has increasingly retreated inward and into the space of niche filmmaking.
Hence Rockwells Foot Clan scene.
This was also the era ofHairspray,House Party,Critters,Mr.
