FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Chris LaChance Hilarious movie, with quality substance, quirky action, upbeat atmosphere, bangin soundtrack, fun plot, enjoyable characters and unexpected events. SPOILERS This movie is the perfect length, it had some questionable moves with the android girl, I thought the fact that some kid on a bike finds a megaman-esque gauntlet and uses it to kill a disc-gauntlet guy was funny as ****. The Cowboy was funny too, not really sure why they put him in there, but it fit. Caesar is an accurate depiction of a boss(or really mini boss) in a post-apocalyptic world that only the strong thrive and the unlucky die. The movie was highly enjoyable to me, though I've found weirder films lately have brought me satisfaction. This is a simple tale, that will make you laugh, cry for a companion robot, root for the good guy, and GORE!! LOTS OF GORE!

eugene-904-837890 So good I could hope the apocalypse! This film is a true masterpiece in the homage to low budget 80s action films about the future genre. It kept me engaged through the entire film, made fun the genre it falls into and it legitimately funny. I look forward to the second one and hope for a nationwide release.

jdavis184 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!

michaelsoful I really wanted to like this movie. The trailer hit all the right notes for me and I was psyched to go see it. Turbo Kid played one weekend in my town and I missed it. Luckily Netflix came along and made it available. I will not say it is a waste of time, just a waste of potential. Here is where spoilers may dwell. I thought it had a decent opening, following this lonely kid as he scavenged a post nuclear apocalyptic landscape. The walkman cuing up the 80's montage song was funny, but like the kid who collected artifacts from a bygone decade that's all this movie really does. It takes from all the BMX movies, the post apocalypse movies. Definitely Zombieland with his list of survival rules. I don't need all that nostalgia without a payoff. Turbo Kid gets some life when Apple shows up. An oddly cheery blonde female who isn't quite right. Leboeuf steals the show with her character. Not much of a show to steal but it's hers. The script was solid when it centered around this young odd couple. Where the writing failed this project was nearly everything that wasn't them. The Aussie/Kiwi Cowboy was very out of place. He seemingly maintained the peace in this "village" that was under the thumb of a cycloptic warlord. Zeus, yep his name is Zeus and he is portrayed by Micheal Ironside who is what you would expect. No let down there. The settings are not well established at all. This town/village is never shown or established in a competent manner. I know, I know, B-Movie here. That does not excuse a lack of fundamentals in story telling. Weather it's a comic, a game or a movie. You still need to set the stage for everything to play out in. So it's a hodge podge really. Then there is the splatter. Which really I think is another weak link. The gore for the most part is not exciting or all that grotesque. It's just kind of there. The laser blasts are well done. Turbo Kid eviscerates quite a few baddies and that all looks good. All the cross section, dissections are clunky. Like bad 70's samurai movies. I know, I know B-Movie. But you have to have some consistent effects work to get some thrills. These are not thrilling effects. From the mid point on the film becomes predictable and follows all the tropes of the movies I assume they are paying homage to. When the girl is captured and the Kid comes to the rescue. Later on the Kid and the Cowboy are surrounded and she (Apple) comes to the rescue. So on and so forth. It has feeling and that is it's best quality. I'm not a teen or twenty something so I need a bit more than that even in a B-movie schlock fest. Turbo Kid has the coherence of the Toxic Avenger and that is what broke the spell for me. It worked when I was naive but I have more discerning tastes now. I think this could have been a solid film had they focused mostly on the couple and had the rest of the story and characters run through them. Oh well not a total waste. Set laser to meh.
