A fantastic, movie around a post apocalyptic world. It really feels like a movie that was made in the 80's. A good watch for anyone looking to not take a movie to seriously.

T Is for Turbo: At least we got Turbo Kid
Platypuschow25 April 2023
Plot
From the ashes of a true hero--the technologically-advanced, Turbo Rider--a modern defender shall rise in a post-apocalyptic 1997, when Kid, a die-hard comic aficionado, stumbles upon his beloved idol's high-tech justice-enforcing gear.
Cast
Thankfully the people who went on to write/direct Turbo Kid (2015)
Verdict
I liked Turbo Kid (2015) it was a funny, quirky and likeable post apocalyptic adventure movie let down only by its poor choice of ending.
Like many movies it started out as a short film and this is it in all its glory. Turbo Kid otherwise known as T for Turbo introduces us to a couple of the characters (Who would go onto be recast for the feature film) such as our titular hero and villan Zeus.
It's interesting enough stuff but I'm glad they changed...............pretty much everything in the transition to feature movie as it's lacking in more than a few areas.
If you want more Turbo Kid goodness then the short prequel No Tomorrow (2016) is a considerably better companion piece.
Breakdown + If not for this we'd not have Turbo Kid (2015)

An entry for the ABC's of Death movie it wouldn't have fit in very well. What I mean by that is that though this is underwhelming stuff the ABC's of Death was near wall to wall diarrhoea that made me sick to my stomach and disappointed beyond words. Yep that's right ABC's I'm talking about you again, biggest anti-climax in cinema history. You should be ashamed.

Warning: Spoilers
"T Is for Turbo" is a 5-minute short film from 5 years ago and it's quite baffling to see three writers and three directors work on a film with this runtime. The three also act in here. The short film gained some popularity recently as the trio turned it into an award-winning full feature film last year. IMDb lists horror as a genre for this one, but I cannot really agree. Despite all the gore and splatter, it is very much a comedy in my opinion. With fantasy elements obviously and the usual story of a superhero saving a damsel in distress from a group of villains. But can he really save her? Watch for yourself. Or don't as this one here does not really deliver in any area and the production values are really low for the most part. It did not get me interested in checking out the feature film that followed. Not recommended.
