Turbo Kid (2015) ***1/2

Turbo Kid (2015) is an endlessly fun and funny mashup of Mad Max (1979) [review], Escape From New York (1981) [review], Indiana Jones and BMX movies featuring an impossibly adorable co-lead (Laurence Leboeuf as female robot Apple), wildly creative gore gags, and a pulsing, head-bobbing synth score by Le Matos. Rather than subvert genre tropes, Turbo Kid fully embraces them and never stops being a blast because of it—what it lacks in deep characters, finesse, and budget it makes up for in retro diversion. If you had to live in a post-apocalyptic future, wouldn't you want to live in one this colorful and playful, with a soundtrack as great as this?
