What you may need to know:
1. It’s the apocalypse and murdering bad-asses and shoulder pad makers are cleaning up. A teenager finds an ancient turbo charged weapon and sets about cleaning house and protecting his moth Apple. Yes, moth.
2. This is nothing to do with Turbo Man (1996) or a fast snail (2013). This is Turbo Kid and it made the Sundance Festival Official Selection.
3. There are other short clips available to view if you have an appetite for 80’s synth and an internet connection.
4. It is an expansion of a short film called ‘T is for Turbo’ which was submitted to the ABCs of Death anthology.
5. Jason Eisener of Hobo with a Shotgun (2011) fame is producing along with the short film’s original French creators.
6. There is no general release date yet but they do have the twitter @turbokidfilm so, you know.

Oh and before anyone says it I have dibs on the name… Kung Fury II: Back to the Fuhrer.
Wah! A heads up on the violence would have been good.
Very Mad Max, from the bits I watched. I wussed out not long after a saw disc thingy went through someone’s face. Ew.
