In the course of the film, Langston – played perfectly by the improbably muscular Arnold Schwarzenegger as a character bubbling with barely contained rage and panic – encounters vicious
shoppers, contemptuous store-workers, a criminal gang of counterfeit toy-makers disguised as Santas, aggressive cops, and an unstable postal worker. In the syrupy conventional ending,
Langston’s son realises that his father is the real “Turbo Man”, but it is the abject, desperate desire to consume, rather than family values, that is the film’s principal theme.
