This Clip from TURBO KID Needs More Blades & Fire!

What started out as a entry for The ABCs of Death, T is for Turbo (of course), has now become a full-fledged fuckin’ movie. That flick is premiering tonight at Sundance. The film is executive produced by Jason Eisener (Hobo with a Shotgun), Patrick Ewald, Shaked Berenson, Jean-Francois Ferland, Catherine Nadeau and directed by Anouk Whissell, François Simard & Yoann-Karl Whissell
(a.k.a. The RKSS Collective).

View the clip above and if that minute doesn’t satisfy you, take a look at the original short film entry that might give you an idea of how much gory fun the feature film will be.

Synopsis

Decades after the apocalypse, the world has been left in a permanent nuclear winter. A lonely young orphan called THE KID roams the wasteland scavenging for comic books and paraphernalia from the 80s. He trades knick-knacks with the dodgy bar keep BAGU at the nearby trading post for fresh water, the most valuable commodity in this land forsaken by toxins. After bumping into arm-wrestling champion FREDERICK, the Kid sees a glimpse of the exciting world he’s been hiding from all these years. His routine existence is disrupted when he runs into the mysterious (and highly excitable) APPLE. Just as Apple starts to bring The Kid out of his isolated world with unflappable humour and goofy behaviour, their relationship is forever changed when she is kidnapped by a BOUNTY HUNTER working for ZEUS; the sadistic and overly-garrulous leader of the Wasteland.

Armed with little more than blind faith and an ancient turbocharged weapon, THE KID must confront his fears and embark on an incredible journey with Frederick to rid the Wasteland of evil and to save the girl of his dreams.
