Robin Williams, who was a big fan of the franchise, provided Judith Hoag with information regarding her character through his comic book collection; the two were co-starring in Cadillac Man (1990) when the Turtles film went into production.
This was the highest-grossing independent film until The Blair Witch Project (1999), having made $135 million in domestic box office and $66 million in the foreign box office.
The actors who physically portrayed the Turtles also had cameo roles in the film: Josh Pais, who plays Raphael, plays a passenger in the back of a taxicab right after Raphael hops on the cab's hood. Michelan Sisti, who plays Michaelangelo, plays the pizza delivery man who delivers the pizza to the Turtles' sewer. Leif Tilden, who plays Donatello, plays the Foot messenger that meets April in the subway station. and David Forman, who plays Leonardo, plays a gang member in the warehouse during Casey's fight with Tatsu.
Judith Hoag was not asked to reprise her role as April in the film's sequels due to her own personal complaining - particularly about the six-day schedule and the amount of violence in the movie.
Shredder and the Foot Clan's hideout were filmed in an abandoned cement factory called the Ideal Cement Factory outside of Wilmington, North Carolina in Castle Hayne. This location was also used as the set for Dinohatton in Super Mario Bros. (1993) and Top Dollar's nightclub in The Crow (1994).
"Donatello: You're a claustrophobic. Casey Jones: You want a fist in the mouth? I've never even looked at another guy before."
"Michaelangelo: [watching Aesop and Son - "Tortoise and the Hare" on TV] Go! Move it, will ya? Aw, you're letting him blow right by ya! Can you believe this guy? Come on! Don't just...! Ninja-kick the damn rabbit! Do something!"
