Is this a reference to anything? Is it supposed to represent a virus turning turtles blue with glowing red eyes - an EVIL GENE? What does it have to do with the episode? The background is some takeoff of Dreempipes, I think.

I think it's a reference to the Terminator, but don't quote me, I may be wrong.

EDIT: Here's a picture promoting the second one, I'm now almost positive it's a Terminator parody. http://users.kiss.si/~k4ff0651/Posters/terminator.jpg

Terminator.

Heh, this is like the time someone "discovered" the Back to the Future reference in JJ2.

I guess it slightly resembles that, but I'm certainly not convinced.

Edit: No, wait, it makes sense. Chase begins with Marbelara, playground of the Schwarzenguards. It's certainly not a very accurate parody, but I'll accept that as the source.

I'm sure It's Terminator, either that or mutated turtles drinking too much of the toxic water from Dreempipes.

Mutated turtles could also be a reference to Teenage mutant hero turtles, but that would probably be a bit too far off.

Maybe not. They're mentioned in the JJ1 comic as well after all.

Duh its terminator

Also note the black jacket the turtles are wearing. Very similar to Arnie's.
