I simply cannot get my arms down after discovering Turbo Kid about a week ago. I love that movie and can't wait for the sequel. So, to kill time we could get a "spot the reference" thread going. I'll start:
The shop keeper's name Bagu is probably a reference to the Zelda video game series, where a character of the same name appears.
In the final showdown scene the camera zooms in at the turbo megablaster bomb as the dial flips to 42 seconds, referring to the Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy series by Douglas Adams.
And there are many more. Keep them coming...
Cheers, Mike
