![]() Rogen went on to note that the movie actually features licensed songs that were also used in the game series. The connection between the soundtracks of "TMNT: Mutant Mayhem" and "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater" isn't just stylistic, however. It kind of has that same energy and spirit." "It's like a random assortment of music, kind of, but it all fits together perfectly. "Our director was like, 'I kind of describe it as what you would kind of hear playing 'Tony Hawk's Pro Skater,” Rogen said. Wolf" podcast, the film emphasizes the Turtles' penchant for skateboarding and features a soundtrack reminiscent of that from the "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater" video games. Definitely a neat toy.As producer and superstar actor Seth Rogen explained during an appearance on Hawk and Jason Ellis' "Hawk vs. That’s half the fun of R/C cars, right? If you’re a fan of TMNT or have one in the family that could get a kick out of some R/C action, give this a look. While control is a bit limited, there’s enough to get a slight idea of what you’re doing and have a lot of fun attempting to chase people or pets with it. Overall, while I don’t really think the toy is worth $69.99, it’s definitely a lot of fun. At the end of the day, I wish there was a switch to turn it off, or just a button to activate the sounds instead.

You can’t pose it or anything, but as a simple statue, it plays the part pretty well.
