Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Once upon a time, 4Kids was extremely stingy and only let Funi put 3 episodes on each dvd, a real kick in the face to fans and parents looking for inexpensive entertainment for their kids. After awhile the episode count rose to 4, then a respectable 5, and now finally a pretty good 6. The only downside is that like most of the recent volumes, these episodes jump back and forth between the third and fourth seasons, killing the intricate continuity TMNT has established. The episodes are:
Hun on the Run - Bishop has taken Karai hostage, and Hun is sent by the Shredder to rescue her. The Turtles get caught in the middle. This is an excellent example of how good the series can get, with an intense fight sequence on Bishop's train featuring very good cheoregraphy. Plus, who doesn't love Bishop?
Nobody's Fool - The Turtles join forces with a vigilante named Nobody (the show's Batman equivalent) to stop a deadly arms shipment. Adapted from the original comics. Nice stand-alone story that also ties into Shredder's season 3 scheming.
Grudge Match - Mikey is forced back into the Battle Nexus to defend his title, which he won on technicality. A nice follow up to the original Battle Nexus storyline.
A Wing and Prayer - The Turtles help a superhero from an Avian race defend his kingdom in the sky against his mortal enemy. Interesting concept that spins-off from the "Notes From the Underground" plot, but it feels like a showcase for the jetpack action figures.
Aliens Among Us - Bishop fakes an alien invasion to scare the US President into funding his operations. An excellent story that sets up the "Outbreak" plot thread of season 4.
Dragons Rising - Hun is taking the Purple Dragons to new criminal heights, while Casey wants to settle an old score. An okay episode, but it feels too similar to past Casey/Hun stories.
Overall I liked 4 stories and found 2 mediocre, but for six episodes you can't go wrong. Recommended.

Hun is a man on a mission. In order to save himself he must first save the Shredder's daughter, Karai, from the clutches of the mysterious Bishop, a black ops agent with an even blacker heart. However, unknown to Hun, brilliant mad genius Baxter Stockman, seeking revenge on Hun, anonymously clues the Turtles into Huns plans, hopefully sabotaging the mission so that neither Hun nor Karai will come back alive. This action-packed TMNT DVD also features Mikey defending his BattleNexus championship, an alien invasion that's not what it appears to be, the hero known only as Nobody, and the Ruse of the Purple Dragons.
