Turbo Kid Reviews
Turbo Kid is a completely stupid, over the top, action-comedy with a heart. It's enjoyable if you are one of those who don't need their stories to make a whole lot of sense.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 23, 2020
Turbo Kid has the makings of a perfect midnight movie, and will be a nostalgic blast in the face for those of us old enough to remember, or at least those who have developed an affinity for, the cheap Mad Max knock offs of the early 1980s.
| Original Score: B+ | Jul 4, 2020
It's strange stuff, but there is an endearing quality to it. What the movie lacks in budget, it does makes up for in imagination.

Turbo Kid feels right, looks right, and sounds right, making it boatloads of fun and very entertaining.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 19, 2020
Turbo Kid may leave the smell of plastic in your nostrils, but it's the right kind of plastic, the one you associate with cool toys, cool games and even cooler backyard parties.

Turbo Kid is simultaneously unique and a loving nod to a million familiar pop culture items at once.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Sep 26, 2019
Combative, unconventional and guaranteed to impale one's exposed guts on a spiked iron fence Turbo Kid is weird and wonderful if only for the afterglow of basking in the art of dimwitted decadence so lovingly realized in impulsive retro flicks
| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 10, 2018
Simultaneously cute and disgusting, this 80s throwback picture is a fun amalgam of Mad Max and BMX Bandits ...
| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 2, 2018
There is enough cheese here to keep Wisconsin content for a millennium, [but] Turbo Kid is a visual time-capsule of joy for those of us that revel in reliving the past.

Anyone with an appreciation for 90s culture will have a permanent smile for 90 minutes

A crazy film that makes the audience part of the experience. [Full review in Spanish]

Playing like an explosion at the Cannon Films factory, [it's] part Mad Max, part Nintendo movie classic, and part The Wizard with a sinister midnight madness sense of humor.
| Original Score: B- | Feb 24, 2016
A perfect blending of over-the-top gore, comedy & high-octane action, Turbo Kid does a fantastic job of keeping its story engaging, creating characters that are well-conceived & delivering some of the most hysterical gore gags I've seen in a while.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 6, 2016
It's gloriously gory at times - the film takes pride in its beautifully brutal practical effects - but at heart, Turbo Kid is a charming little oddity that makes an asset of its low budget.

TURBO KID is campy fun as a reminder of the films kids liked some three decades ago. It has the magic to turn "are you kidding?" into "that was fun."
| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 13, 2015
A cheerfully silly and goofily gory homage to 80's-era cheapo action films whose boxes always promised more than they ever came close to delivering.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 1, 2015

Turbo Kid catches the attention of anyone that sees it. It's not perfect, but it's worth seeing. [Full review in Spanish]

Everything in the movie feels like part of an empty and plain fantasy, with no sense of adventure or risk for the main protagonist. [Full review in Spanish]
