" The Shredder's alias in this film is Eric Sachs. This is an Anglicized alias derived from the Shredder's original name of Oroku Saki." I was actually thinking about this last night. It occurred to me that if you say the name aloud you can almost hear the name "Oroku Saki" behind it.

I would be more satisfied with that line of thinking if Sachs was Asain and had altered his name so that he could hide his past. But alas, if that's correct at least they made an attempt to tie the new origin to the old. I'm still going to root for something similar to my own theory to play out. LOL
