‘Turbo Kid’ Is Finally Hitting US Theaters!

This trailer looks bad—awesome bad! Badass! Just the sort of cheat-day candy I wanna fill my eyeholes with!

These writer/directors clearly love three things:

The ’80s
B-Movie Apocalyptic Coming of Age Stories
Over the Top Awesome Badassery!

If, like me, you’re also a fan of such shenanigans, then the winter of our discontent may be about to blossom into a spring of BMX fueled laser explosions. Based on the trailer, Turbo Kid looks poised to hit that sweet spot where it’s self-aware enough not to be self-conscious—delivering on its promise without apologizing for it.

As far as I can tell, these filmmakers have yet to burst on the Hollywood scene but if this film is nearly as good as its trailer I’ll be happy to say I watched it happen for them when Turbo Kid hits theaters August 28th.
