i can understand that people want to support indie film making, but the issue here was a lack of effort or seriousness, not the intentionally tiny budget. there are a few costumes that work pretty nicely and a few moments that make it seem alright, but it's almost entirely crap

This movie does a lot with a small budget! I really enjoyed it.

Budget for this movie was less than a thousand dollars. Nonsense story with even worse acting.

This is the real Borderlands movie.

Grandioser Film. Toller Soundtrack. Gute 80 Vibes. Teilweise absurd brutal. Einfach glücklich machend.

Absolutely, a poor film. The special effects are simply horrible. A meaningless theme with lousy actors. I'm not sure why it gets so many positive reviews.

I love how this film is not a loving homage to the Mad Max films like DOOMSDAY was, but is instead a loving tribute to the many low-budget ripoff films, like EXTERMINATORS IN THE YEAR 2000 or BATTLETRUCK or my personal favorite WHEELS OF FIRE. I loved these moves as a kid and love them just as much today. Author Brian Keene had a great observation that these warriors-of-the-wasteland films offer the same sort of wish fulfillment to Gen-X that westerns offered Baby Boomers, with a man alone in a lawless world finding their way. This film taps into that more than any other by making the main character a teenager and somehow manages to be a film you could describe as "sweet" which is not how you would describe almost every other Mad Max ripoff, which were nearly all decidedly pretty rough. Anyhow, this film is an unbelievable treat for anyone who loves these types of films. Below is my review from the first time I watched TURBO KID in 2016. 5-14-16 Turbo Kid (2015) **** A love letter to 80s post-apocalyptic films is kind of "Mad Max" meets the "BMX Bandits," though I think this film was likely more honoring goofy post-apocalyptic films like "Solarbabies" or "Hell Comes to Frogtown" than "The Road Warrior." Regardless, this tale is set in the distant future of 1997 when acid rain makes drinkable water a scarce resource, our teen hero finds a special red outfit and decides to become a superhero of the wastelands. He meets a cute girl named Apple, who then gets captured by the evil Michael Ironside, who plays Zeus (in a very similar role to what he played in "Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone" as Overdog). The film is slickly made and presents a beautifully shot acid rain-soaked wasteland. Probably best of all is a terrific 80s-style score by Le Matos, which I plan to listen to repeatedly (and that theme song is 80s AMAZING!). My main complaint about the film is the unneeded gore. I consider myself a bit of a gorehound and quite enjoy some Tom Savini or Rob Bottin special effects now and then, so it isn't that I'm opposed to a gory movie, but the tone of this film was so light and silly (very nearly a family film) that the blood and gore seemed very out of place, even when it was done in a very comic Peter Jackson over-the-top sort of way. Also, most of the warriors-of-the-wasteland films to which this movie is paying homage were never all that gory. Yes, they were violent, but they were rarely what I would call gory. Still, that's a minor quibble considering warriors-of-the-wasteland post-apocalyptic films of the 80s are probably my all-time favorite subgenre, anytime a film is wanting to revisit this unique setting, I'm all for it! I can't wait to see what comes next for writer/directors François Simard, Anouk Whissell, and Yoann-Karl Whissell (which apparently is a short film called "Ninja Eliminator 4: The French Connection").

I saw that it had a 'critics review' score of 91%, and so decided that I had to watch it. The positives are: it's nostalgic. The soundtrack is really nice - with deep, throbbing electronic keyboards. It reminded me a bit of Muse's 'Simulation Theory', in places. And there are lots of references to 80's toys, which was also nostalgic, and almost seem like little Easter eggs to watch out for. The girl robot was quite funny/cute. You can watch it when you're high, and it'll still make as much sense to you as it does sober. Negatives: The acting is as cheesy as an 80's B-side movie, and about as convincing. I get that this might be intentional, but I've got to have something to engage with beyond the toys, music and the urge to get stoned. The plot is...I've no idea what the plot is. You can compare the plot to playing with your 6-year-olf kid/niece/sibling, and they make up the story as they go along. You WANT to like it and feel really involved, but can't help getting bored within 30 minutes, as much as you try. That's Turbo Kid. Get high and watch it, it'll be much better.

A rare gem spiced up with nostalgia. + awesome soundtrack!

I didn't know The Kid Laroi starred in movies.

Hah, hah. What the hell did I just watch?? Looks like an ode to live action kids 온라인카지노추천 series of the 80's/90's but the gore levels are surprisingly high. I couldn't decide if the acting was deliberately stylised or just plain bad but it's was without doubt very bizarre. It's strangly watchable though despite being a low budget, Mad Max styled, post apocalyptic, retro sci-fi, comedy mash-up, curiosity of a movie. Very, very weird.

Whoever gave this such a high rating, needs to be beaten with a baseball bat that has a gnome duct taped to it and word "Stupid" written all over said bat in permanent marker so that every time the bat makes contact they see the word " Stupid" flash before their eyes. I feel like my brain has been violated with idiocy , poor writing, cheesy graphics, and mindless gore that did little to move the plot along. Wow..just..wow. (Wha, wha, whaaaaaa)

A must see. I've watched maybe 10 times, it's so amazingly refreshing and nostalgic. Some of few movies that go along with this millennium

Wonderfully campy! It's got a classic Mad Max feel with a super endearing twist! A must see.

Excellent! Not enough people are aware of this movie, but they very much should be.

Turbo Kid is an unbelievably gory 80s throwback. The characters are surprisingly good for what is definitely a B-movie, especially Apple the robot. The soundtrack is fun and fitting. It does get pretty samey and at times boring as it trudges along; and while it never loses sight of what it is going for, it scarcely reaches beyond that.

A 2dollar Mad Max. Not bad not great but you are not missing out if you do not decide to watch it.

This is a very bloody movie. It's also a blast to watch .

FIRE! Style and substance. Pretty decently written underneath the 80s cheese. The pretty intense gore was artful and creative. Soundtrack was bomb. Didn't expect this at all

loved the 80's vibe. & i loved the over-the-top ridiculous battle scenes. it's a fun little watch.
