Bar Trash: Closing Night: TURBO KID: 10TH ANNIVERSARY (2015)

Running time: 145 mins

In a post-apocalyptic wasteland, a comic book fan adopts the persona of his favourite hero to save his enthusiastic friend and fight a tyrannical overlord.

“MAD MAX ON A BMX”

There’s an ignoble BAR TRASH tradition of closing our seasons with something big, loud, and well, just a bit dumb (think MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE, GODZILLA ’98, and ANACONDA) but with TURBO KID (2015) we’ll swap that ‘d’ for ‘delightful’! Written and directed by regular collaborators François Simard, Anouk Whissell, and Yoann-Karl Whissell, TURBO KID is a micro-budget post-apocalyptic superhero origin story that features enough cartoon gore to pay homage to titles like TOKYO GORE POLICE (2008) whilst also packing a huge mount of retro heart.

The Kid (Munro Chambers) makes friends in the toxic wastelands with an unlikely companion, Apple (Laurence Leboeuf), to face down a tyrannical warlord (Michael Ironside) and avenge the death of his parents. It’s rare that any film lives up to its hype, but Wired’s review of TURBO KID as “MAD MAX on a BMX” is satisfyingly accurate. Packed with action, adventure, a fabulous synth soundtrack, and gallons of very wet gore, TURBO KID is guaranteed to leave a big (stupid) grin on your face as Token Homo reveals what BAR TRASH Season 11 is all about…

“TURBO KID captures the wildly discordant dreams of any budding movie lover when they were 10, creating one of the funniest works of sandbox cinema made to date. TURBO KID is here to play, and he's loads of fun." (Consequence Of Sound)

Polite notice: We are showing the blu-ray release of TURBO KID which contains extra gore. TURBO KID will play with subtitles from the best available digital source.
