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."December 01, 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.January 06, 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.August 27, 2015
It may be that, while watching the nine-figure reboot of Mad Max, there was a part of you that yearned for the $1.98 version. If so, Turbo Kid is for you.February 24, 2016
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.March 24, 2015
A pitch-perfect pastiche that never mocks its inspirations, the picture is silly fun to warm the hearts of aging fanboys and delight hipsters who weren't yet born the first time Mel Gibson donned Max's leathers.August 28, 2015
Made for ironicists, Turbo Kid, in its endearingly goofy way, says good things about the power reserves of our childhood - an inner superhero we can call upon when needed.January 01, 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.August 27, 2015
The whole thing looks like it cost its writer-directors, François Simard, Anouk Whissell and Yoann-Karl Whissell, oh, maybe $1.98.August 04, 2016
A crazy film that makes the audience part of the experience. [Full review in Spanish]August 28, 2015
"Turbo Kid" isn't really more mature than its raw generic parts, nor is it clever enough to disarm viewers who want to regress to childhood without feeling guilty for that naive impulse.
