This week on The Real Get to da Choppa, I’m heading into the Wasteland for my first ever watch of Turbo Kid (2015)A HUGE thank you to Luke Hayes Payne for sending me this film, because WOW… I absolutely loved it! It’s got everything I love about cult cinema — a brilliantly simple but surprisingly charming story, loads of gore, ridiculous weapons, fantastic costumes, a great cast, and that wonderfully weird 80s/90s post-apocalyptic vibe.And then there’s The Kid, the mysterious cowboy, and of course… APPLE! But the Turbo Kid rabbit hole didn’t stop with the movie!I also discovered “No Tomorrow” by Le Matos feat. PAWWS — an incredible music video/short film that actually works as a prequel to Turbo Kid, telling part of Apple’s story before she meets The Kid. It was directed by RKSS and is essentially another little trip back into the Wasteland. (Exclaim!)And if that wasn’t enough, there’s also a Turbo Kid video game! Released on PC via Steam in 2024 and later on Nintendo Switch in 2025, it’s a BMX-powered pixel-art Metroidvania that continues the story immediately after the movie. You get to ride around the Wasteland on your BMX, battle enemies with the Turbo Glove, explore new areas and, naturally, create plenty of pixelated gore! (Steam Store)So join me as I talk about my first experience with Turbo Kid, what I thought of The Kid, Apple, the world, the gore, the costumes and that fantastic soundtrack — and why I think I may have just discovered another absolute cult favourite!
