Turbo Kid (2015) ***1/2

Turbo Kid (2015) is an endlessly fun and funny mashup of Mad Max (1979) (my review here), Escape From New York (1981) (my review here), 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, who wouldn't want to live in one this colorful and playful, with a soundtrack as great as this?
