It looks like Mad Max and Kick-Ass had a baby together.

scipioafricanus - Michael Ironside is awesome, the scenery is always edible around him. I watched this movie recently; if you haven't, it's available on Netflix and you all should go to watch it now. Besides being about Mad Max and rad BMX scenes, this is pretty much a Mega Man movie, and a damn great one at that. There's also an Indiana Jones character, so there's a lot to like in this one.

There's also a nice short movie / music video that works as a prequel to the movie. It has a spoiler about one of the characters, so watch the movie first:

This movie's been so hard to find. I eventually stumbled upon it on an Australian national TV website that I needed VPN to watch. And I got to watch it just in time for its anniversary:
"Often described as Mad Max on BMX bikes, Turbo Kid sure is a unique movie. To me, this is another alternative superhero movie like Kick-Ass, but instead of having a nerd become a superhero, it is a nerd becoming Mega Man in a Mad Max wasteland. What differentiates it from all these other movies and games I have mentioned so far is all the violence and over the top blood effects. They are hilarious and I love how good they are for being practical. It really does make a difference whether it is CGI blood or practical blood. The soundtrack is also unique, and it gives me video game vibes. In fact, the whole movie kind of feels like a video game, even though it is not based upon one. That is the weird thing about video game movies; those that are based upon video games tend to be worse and feel less like a video game than other movies. What unfortunately lowers my score a bit is the fact that I did not really care that much for any of the characters, nor the story. It could have been more interesting in these regards. Still, this is so unique that I will recommend it to people." 3.5/5
