Its a satire to be sure, but one that embraces its retro origins with an exuberance that is as much fun as it is nostalgic.
4.0
A cheerfully silly and goofily gory homage to 80s era cheapo action films whose boxes always promised more than they ever came close to delivering.
E Film Critic

Turbo Kid takes this vehicle as fast and as far as it can go, but it is always careful to stay on the clear coarse set before it.

Turbo Kid is completely ridiculous and undemanding fun, but would be vastly improved if it could decide just how much fun its actually trying to be.

Perhaps the most colorful film ever made with a postapocalyptic setting, Turbo Kid is a loud, energetic homage to Eighties kitsch.
