Turbo Kid
“This is the future... This is the year 1997.”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 60, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
The future has become a blood-soaked BMX adventure, and a young scavenger has the heroic dreams to match. Turbo Kid deliberately mixes innocent friendship with wildly excessive injury. Its retro affection is unapologetic; bring a tolerance for both sentimental nostalgia and industrial quantities of stage blood.
