.... That no one ever saw. Literally 30 yrs in the making.



Probably saw this trailer 125 times, and never heard saw one second of it outside of this extremely memorable trailer:

One reason no one ever saw it? They changed the name of the damn movie to "Big Girls Don't Cry... They Get Even."

Cast is actually quite stacked:

David Srathairn, Ben Savage, and the Cleveland Indians owner from Major League.

Actually a kind of deep dysfunctional family dramedy.

I remember this, too.

Weird they changed the name after releasing the trailer on a wide scale.

I remember the trailer for “Urban Commando” either on TMNT or Secret of the Ooze.

I wanted to see it because of that trailer on the vhs, but could never find it. A couple of years later I found it under the different name. I was so confused.

Wasn’t the Pizza Hut right field commercial on that vhs too? Sadly, I can still sing the song.

Does anyone remember when Burger King released 4 VHS tapes of the original TMNT animated series? Each tape had an episode from the series and the boxes were different colors

Years ago I saw it on TV when I was flipping channels and had wondered why it looked so familiar. Mind was definitely blown.

The main actress was also in the first two Home Alone movies and quit acting after Home Alone 2 to pursue a career in martial arts. She was an Olympian on Team USA, competing in judo, in both 1996 and 2000.

This is my dad. He's 40, looks like he's 30, thinks like he's 20, and acts like he's 10.

I bet I could still recite it from memory.

I remember watching that movie, but I just remembered it as "Big Girls Don't Cry". My friend's older sister rented it and we watched it around 1993ish.
