Turbo Kid is a love letter to 80's B Movies and was made by 80's kids, RKSS.
I had never heard of Turbo Kid until I saw "Good Bad Flicks" top 10 films of 2015. One of these films he put on his list was this one.
I saw the trailer and thought it looked awesome and then I saw the movie online and I flippin' loved it!
This doc is interesting. We learn about RKSS, who have their own YouTube channel and have made short films for over a decade. I recommend that channel. The "Ninja Eliminator" movies are SO FUNNY!
They talk about "T is for Turbo" which was an entry for the "ABC's of Death" contest and they didn't win. But if you watch that short, you can see the similarities.
Their movies of course have a lot of gore and this movie is no exception. Aaron Jeffrey said "When I read the script, I thought 'That's a lot of gore'."
Of course we see the puppets made for the gore.
Then they talk about how cold it was filming in Canada and the fight scenes.
The doc ends with the cast and crew going to the Sundance festival.
We see clips of their short films and scenes from them later referenced in Turbo Kid.
Overall, I loved Turbo Kid and RKSS' shorts. Roll on Turbo Kid 2.
