One of my all time favorites.

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Just a short review, this film was pretty good. Lots of 70's and 80's Sci-fi nods. Not even close to a masterpiece but certainly worth the watch.

TURBO KID is an enjoyable independent science fiction flick that enjoyed some attention on release from cult and B-movie fans, who it seems to have been made for. It was shot in Canada and funded by New Zealand, and it's very much a budget version of MAD MAX, set in a quarry pounded by acid rain. Vehicles are extinct and characters travel around on BMX bikes while '80s-style pop music plays. The cast is unknown, but the actors give fun, larger than life performances, none more so than guest villain Michael Ironside who still has it all these decades after coming to fame. The film is most notable for featuring a string of exceptionally gory special effects utilising both CGI and prosthetics. The gore is cheesy, camp, and way over the top, very much like the Japanese B-movie cycle of films including MACHINE GIRL and TOKYO GORE POLICE. This alone makes it a fun watch.

It's an 80's throwback with a great synth score and tonnes of gore! It has a storyline and some actual character development, even a sweet little romance. Most importantly, it makes sure to keep the internal logic of the movie sound, so despite the tiny budget, it's a solid movie despite the references and throwbacks. This was everything Kung Fury wasn't! Imagine if Dead Alive era Peter Jackson made a 80's BMX kids movie.

This is a movie that owns what it is. The gore is over the top, there are some clichés, and they have no qualms departing from any sense of reality. That said, each of those come across as benefits rather than burdens.The characters have great chemistry. The acting is solid. The soundtrack is perfect. At the end, you are fulling engrossed in the universe they've created.I really hope this gets some more love, and we see more of Turbo Kid!
