Turbo Kid

Turbo Kid

Presented by Frida Cinema, The at Frida Cinema, The

The year is 1997... In a ruined post-apocalyptic world, the orphaned Kid survives on his own through drought-ridden nuclear winter, traversing the Wasteland on his BMX, scavenging for scraps to trade for a scant supply of water. When his perpetually chipper, pink-haired new best friend Apple is kidnapped by a minion of evil overlord Zeus, the Kid summons the courage of his comic book hero and prepares to wage bloody battle and deliver turbocharged justice to Zeus, his buzzsaw-handed sidekick Skeletron, and their vicious masked army!

“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.” – John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter

“Surprisingly sweet-natured – even amid its frequent fountains of bloodshed …” – Dennis Harvey, Variety

Dir. François Simard, Anouk Whissell, and Yoann-Karl Whissell.  93 min.  New Zealand / Canada
