sticks, wraps them around Shredders staff and hurls him over the edge  of the building. Shredder hands onto his staff which Splinter maintains his  grip on, and Splinter begins a speech, but is interrupted by Shredder,  throwing a scythe at him. Splinter moves to one side, and Shredder looses his  grip on the staff, falling into the garbage truck where he is crushed. This  was heavily trimmed so that it appears Shredder runs at Splinter, who  seemingly trips him up, and Shredder just falls over the edge as Splinter  watches on. The original versions of both scenes were reinstated for the 2004  DVD.
