Who gives this movie less than 7 stars does not have sense of humor and does not know what a tribute is. This movie is not to be taken seriously. It is a tribute to cheap science fiction movies of the 80's, including film score. I loved it! And one of the reasons why I loved it was... Laurence Leboeuf.

This movie illustrates what happens when the director/producer can tell a simple story very well with layered characters. Films that are internally consistent and coherent can be wonderfully fun.Okay, the last act is a little bit of a let down, but the rest of the story is so well told it's still good.Don't watch if: you don't like gore. The gore gets more and more over the top so that by the end it is a straight up parody of itself. Then again, it's mostly played like the gore in Monty Python (with some better effects).Do watch if: you like wonderful, quirky post-apocalyptic movies.

Plot; In the post apocalyptic future of 1997, a young man adopts the mantle of his comic book hero and takes on a tyrannical warlord.Quirky indie flick out of Canada feels like a winking love letter to the Cannon Films catalog from the 1980s. But under its copious amounts of gore (and I do mean copious) beats a real genuine heart, and in the end that's what drives Turbo Kid past the red line. In particular is the performance of actress Laurence LeBoeuf as the infectiously enthusiastic Apple. If you don't fall in love with her, you may want to check and see if you have a heart.

...that I had to check at the end to see if they made it(as a note it turns out they are still in business but didn't make this one). Personally a fan of the B movie classics like Toxie and et al, but to each his own.To the movie... campy but fun. Very low budget and it looks it. Acting over done. Special effects over done 80s vintage. Script is shallow but amusing...well you get the idea.Bottom line if Plan B or the Toxic Avenger bring a smile, if you can't wait for the next Tarantino film or next Sharknado flick then you will likely enjoy this film.
