Many felt that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ elevator scene was one of the funniest in the whole movie, and it was completely improvised. In 2014 Paramount Pictures released the first film in its Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot series. Directed by Jonathan Liebesman, the movie follows the half-shell heroes – Leonardo (Pete Ploszek/Johnny Knoxville), Donatello (Jeremy Howard), Raphael (Alan Ritchson) and Michelangelo (Noel Fisher) – and their rat mentor Splinter (Danny Woodburn/Tony Shalhoub) as they team up with reporter April O’Neil (Megan Fox) to bring down a criminal gang known as the Foot Clan that’s terrorizing New York City.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was a solid box office hit that grossed over $490 million worldwide. Unfortunately, the film didn’t enjoy the same kind of success with critics who lambasted it as a dull and unnecessary entry in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. It also had the dubious honor of earning five Golden Raspberry Award nominations in categories including Worst Picture, Worst Director and Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-off or Sequel. That said, the reboot had quite a few funny moments and one of its most amusing wasn’t originally meant to be in the movie at all.

The scene in question takes place during the climax of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2014 when the fearless foursome infiltrates a skyscraper whose radio tower the big bads are using to spread a deadly virus throughout the city. As the Turtles are in the elevator making their way to the building’s roof, Michelangelo breaks the tension when he suddenly starts beat-boxing and his brothers follow suit. Watch the scene in the video below around the 1:35 mark.

This downright powerful Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles elevator scene only came to be because the movie’s visual effects supervisor Pablo Herman noticed the actors who play the heroes were goofing around during filming one day in between takes and dancing around their co-star Fox. Herman thought the moment showed how much chemistry the cast had and wanted to work something similar into the movie – and so the beat-boxing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle’s elevator scene was born.

The reboot series was prematurely canceled after sequel Out Of The Shadows underperformed at the box office, but the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise later paid homage to its first film’s funniest moment. A season 4 episode of the Nickelodeon animated series that aired between 2012 and 2017 titled “Tokka Vs. The World” saw its cartoon version of Michelangelo randomly start beat-boxing in a moment that mirrored the 2014 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles elevator scene.
