‘Turbo Kid’ Scores A Release Date, New Trailer and Poster!
Updated with the film’s official one-sheet!
The brainchild of Canadian filmmaking group RKSS (directors Anouk Whissell, Francois Simard and Yoann-Karl Whissell), festival favorite Turbo Kid has finally been granted an official U.S. release date by its distributor, Epic Pictures Group. Those who haven’t managed to catch it on the festival circuit this spring and summer will have the chance to do so on VOD and in select theaters a little over two months from now on August 28th.
“In a post-apocalyptic future, The Kid (Munro Chambers), an orphaned outcast, meets a mysterious girl (Laurence Leboeuf). They become friends until Zeus (Michael Ironside), the sadistic leader of the Wasteland, kidnaps her. The Kid must face his fears, and journey to rid the Wasteland of evil and save the girl.”
Nostalgically set in the retro-futuristic post-apocalypse of 1997, Turbo Kid is another in a recent slew of ’80s throwbacks; following in the footsteps of films like WolfCop and Kung Fury. To be honest, I wasn’t a fan of either of those two films, but this one has my interest peaked. From what little I’ve seen, it appears to have a sincerity to it that the others are lacking and doesn’t appear to be as interested in winking at itself in the mirror through, if you catch my drift. I guess we’ll know soon enough! In the meantime, we have also been treated to a new age-locked trailer…

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones. Instead, they unearth The Gate — an underground chamber of terrifying demonic evil. The teenagers soon understand what evil they’ve released as they are overcome with an assortment of horrific experiences. With fiendish followers invading suburbia, it’s now up to the kids to discover the secret that can lock The Gate forever . . . if it’s not too late.
If you’ve never seen The Gate, it’s now streaming on Prime Video and Tubi.
