Reviewers were impressed, calling the film: [quote=author]“A pitch-perfect pastiche that never mocks its inspirations, the picture is silly fun to warm the hearts of aging fanboys and delight hipsters who weren’t yet born the first time Mel Gibson donned Max’s leathers.” - John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter[/quote] [quote=author]“Perhaps the most colorful film ever made with a postapocalyptic setting, Turbo Kid is a loud, energetic homage to Eighties kitsch.” - Laura Kern Film Comment Magazine[/quote] [quote=author]“A ferociously fun throwback to a time when B-movies went way over-the-top without a single care.” - JimmyO, JoBlo's Movie Network[/quote] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//41347770/b07234bb18138db3317cbe58cfe63b31149cfd38.jpg[/img] For fans of the film, this is the essence we’re aiming to keep in the game. We’ve been working with the team behind the film to make sure that their vision of the lore, tone, and humor are respected.
