In post-apocalyptic 1995, a youth who models himself on comic hero Turbo Kid takes on the evil Zeus.
This 2015 Canadian/New Zealand co-production espouses 1980s sensibilities as it sets its apocalypse at the time when it pretends to have been made. It looks cheap, like 1980s video fare, and probably was. It is set on BMX bikes, like Australian teen films of the era, and features gallons of gushing blood and much fairly amusing gory and unrealistic dismemberment. Oh, and a cheesy synth score.
The kid playing lead is OK, if a bit unmemorable. The lass playing his "girlfriend" Apple gives what turns out to be an amusing and engaging performance. And Michael Ironside collects a paycheque, but gives good value for it.
This really is dreadful stuff, but I quite liked it.
