I now realize he raced through the extension cord station extremely fast. He managed to get across the room within a second. Just shows how angry he was about this
That's something Sue Sylvester from Glee would say, which is coincidental because Jane Lynch (who voiced Calhoun) played the character to delicious perfection
The scariest part of this origin story as you realize when you get older was that Ralph wanted respect and appreciation by doing heroic actions in a friendly but risky way, while Turbo/King Candy wanted fame and attention via selfish actions in a villainous and jealous way.
Turbo’s appearance in general gives me chills, his face looks like a bare skull with yellow teeth and eyes. Seeing him as a kid would have probably made me uneasy, but luckily when I saw it in theaters I wasn’t all that disturbed.
If Ralph had chosen to continue with his obsession of being good and get medals rather than realize how bad it actually was and instead do the right thing, he would have been like Turbo, who let his evil obsessions of fame and pride take full control of him to the end.
One thing I dislike about this movie is that none of the other characters are ever held accountable for how badly they treated Ralph. How horrible they were to him, especially considering how crucial his roll was. Its ESPECIALLY annoying when one of the people who treat him so badly acts all high and mighty when he finally does return, and movie treats him like he did wrong.
yeah an apology wouldve been nice, but in the end it doesnt matter what people think of Ralph, because if that little girl likes him, how bad can he be right? lol
Litwak seems to be the kind of person to have a deep attachment to the characters in the games. Reminded me of Litwak's reaction when the Fix-It Felix Cabinet had to be put Out of Order, later to be very happy once Ralph returned to his game.
DoctorPhileasFragg Not to mention the part where Ralph busts Felix out of King Candy's dungeon. "You don't know what it's like to be treated like a common criminal!" "Actually, I do. That's every day of my life." "It is?"
I can't believe that this movie is 8 years old. Feels like it was newer Edit April 8th, 2024: changed the "thanks for the likes!" Cause all of you hate it
@@USDMXTHEPROEXPERT no but a big theme of internet horror is the idea of supernatural "errors" or "glitches" alowing characters to enter the real world or mentally damage the "player"
That wasn’t intended, there are multiple shows/movies that also does this because why would you change the voice of a character thats the same as the other character
For those of you pointing out the kid who said, "These are the greatest graphics I've ever seen!" You do realize this was an arcade that took place during the 80s, so of course a kid was going to say that. It was a new game at the time.
To this day, I still find Turbo to be absolutely TERRIFYING. The fact that he's so obsessed with fame and attention to the point that he's willing to destroy his own homeworld, and take over another game by medding with the program to brainwash people and is even willing kill others, shows you just how UNHINGED he is.
What's even more unnerving is that there are people like that in reap life. Those who want attention so badly they're willing to hurt others to get it. It's actually one reason why some school kids become bullies.
Scary thought when you realize that Turbo was still in his car in Roadblasters. It means he drove it through the train station of the game world. That. Dude. Was. PISSED! And on a side note, that music still gives me chills down my back...
+Dominque Walker Maybe racer characters can summon their custom cars whenever they want. Tyffyta's car for example doesn't look like it is from the baking mini game.
I love how no one ever takes responsibility for driving Ralph away. If they treated him a bit better he probably would not have gone "turbo." He can be a nice guy too, as we see.
Kedda kedda It was only at risk because of the bug he brought there - however, he did help her get her kingdom back which wouldn't have happened otherwise.
cosmoman.EXE gah I do not like Gene! He thinks he's so special and just because Ralph was made to be the bad guy, doesn't mean he starts all that up after closing time. He doesn't do anything bad, just when in the game.
Turbo is the best Disney villain in the last 10 years.. excellent twist and great parallel to the protagonist-why can’t Disney villains be as good as they used to anymore?
@@silvergust Pretty much the case with Turbo. Even though it's self-inflicted, you can see where his actions are coming from. His game got less popular so he wanted to stay relevant. Unfortunately, it resulted in his game getting unplugged, so he had to leave in order to survive and did so by going to Sugar Rush. It absolutely does not excuse usurping Vanellope's throne, brainwashing children, and forcing said brainwashed children to bully Vanellope. He's a crazy bastard and he was entertaining because of it.
A lot of twist villains (not just the ones in Disney movies) seem to suck nowadays. You could often already tell they were going to be a villain once they had around 15-20 minutes of screentime and their twists mostly feel like they were done last-minute.
I remember when I was a kid, I would often skip to this scene on the DVD set just so that way I could listen to Felix tell this story over and over. Turbo's story was always so intriguing and interesting, that they coined the phrase "going turbo" after him and his deeds
That's interesting! We all have, at least, a nice back story with either a happy ending or a sad ending. It really depends on where and what experience we're talking about.
While Mario did make his debut in arcades in the popular game Donkey Kong, it wasn't nearly as popular as Pac-Man. Mario wouldn't overtake Pac-Man in popularity until Super Mario Bros on the NES
I just noticed something... When King Candy was talking about why Vanellope “can’t race”, he said “we’ll be put out of order for good”. Just like Felix said. Is it just me or is that an ever so subtle foreshadowing of King Candy being Turbo?
There are multiple signs of foreshadowing. At the start of the movie, you can see a picture of Venellope driving Turbos cart. Meaning she’s the main character. Not to mention when Ralph mentions how pink the castle is. And when Turbo went to the game codes to receive the Hero medal, you see the code without wires in it with Venellopes name on it
I like the duality between Ralph and Turbo. Ralph will be the antagonist of his game, he is nice with several characters, especially Q bert. While Turbo will be the protagonist of his game, but he is arrogant and mean, and doesn't mind making others suffer if it means being the center of attention.
It's like actors who play the heroes in real life. Nice and friendly in front of the camera, nasty and unfriendly as soon as the director says, "Cut!" Actors who play villains are the polar opposite. The reason why Keanu Reeves is so celebrated because he's a notable exception (good character, nice actor).
From the look of his appearance with or without the angry face Turbo looks like someone who didn’t take great care of them self and not to mention did not sleep properly.
@@rainbow4516 Me too when I was 8 - 10 years old I had horrible nightmares of him. To the point where I thought he was in my room and start crying. Needless to say I stopped watching Wreck It Ralph for a while after that. Or at least closed/covered my eyes when the Turbo scene came on until I eventually grew out of that fear. But to be honest he still looks creepy to me to this day.
1:00 I like how this scene subtly implies that Litwak knows the characters in the games are alive. He’s watching the games roll away with his hands crossed and his head down as if he was at a funeral. So many people in those games were left without a home or died along with the game, and Litwak is sad that he has to do this to them. Another hint at this is at the end, when Ralph returns to his game, Litwak says, “Hey, Ralph’s back!”, instead of, “Hey, the game’s working again!”, like he’s happy that Ralph returned and now he doesn’t have to put another game’s population in the gutter.
Turbo is one of the only good Disney twist villains. Bellwether only got 5 minutes to be evil and Hans was so cliche that he felt like he was from a preschool show. Turbo is a genuinely interesting character with a twist that actually works.
+MiyariShirou all the times I've ever seen James Rolfe review an old video game makes me think this doesn't surprise me that whoever invented Turbotime didn't care that much how the gaming sprite looked
I realize that this is a very important and actually pretty dark scene. But I just can't stop laughing at the inherent absurdity of an 8-bit character zooming across a 16-bit background repeatedly spouting his Narmy catchphrase. I mean come on, listen to that rapid succession of out-of-place-ness: *Douchey 80's Kid:* "These are the _greatest_ graphics I've ever seen!" *Turbo:* "TURBO-TASTIC!" **BOOM** *Edit:* What the fuck where did *_a thousand likes_* come from is this what happens when I leave for three years
Me and my friend were DYING he thought the exact same thing. If the scene didn't have dark dramatic music in the background I wouldn't even realize it was a serious moment
Ralph Breaks The Internet does not exist. It never has and never will be. Anyone who mentions "Ralph Breaks The Internet" is insane and you should stay away from them.
@@SkyKidShyKid Agree. After watching "Ralph Breaks the Internet" in the theater in December 2018, I was utterly angered at the fact where Vanellope went Turbo at the end by deciding to abandon Sugar Rush and stay at Slaughter Race forever, which is literally the exact same thing that Turbo did in the first movie, except that Vanellope for some odd reason gets a free pass for doing so unlike Turbo who got punished for it by having both games he abandoned and hacked unplugged for good. Because of it, I'm not looking forward to anymore Wreck-It-Ralph sequel, unless that they decided to entirely ignore the events of "Ralph Breaks The Internet".
Sugar Rush as a game would still be able to function without Vanellope there, though. She would just stop appearing in the "randomized" daily roster. No big deal.
@@oh.hey.2045 ''going turbo'' describes the action of game-jumping. even though vaneloppe didn't have any bad intentions she still abandoned sugar rush.
*Shadow* *Archetype:* Turbo is a darker Ralph who felt unappreciated about his status in the arcade, as while Ralph's adventure outside of Fix It Felix Jr.'s is motivated by an innocent need for approval, Turbo is driven by his obsession for recognition. Ralph doesn't intend to harm anyone and sneaks into a neighboring video game simply to win a medal, whereas Turbo is responsible for the destruction of his home world, another nearby video game, and the reprogramming and enslavement of the Sugar Rush world. Turbo's pursuit of respect and acknowledgement mirrors Ralph's, but he is shown as willing to destroy anything that opposes him to get it.
That's what makes so many great villains: think of Lotso from Toy Story 3. The point is to show what the hero ( Ralph) would've become if he became obsessed with getting respect over doing what was right.
@@anamariaramirez9341 yes; at the same time however, if he was more focused on his own goal, he could've ended up like Turbo. That said, he didn't fall into the same trap Turbo had because as the film progressed, his motivation became more for the betterment of his friends and the arcade.
Some great villains are dark reflections of the heroes. They show what the hero could have become (or still may become) if they renounced their virtues and embraced their vices in the pursuit of certain goals.
I have a feeling that Litwak always knew the people inside the video games were alive. When the games got wheeled out, it looked like he was mourning somebody's death. And this also explains why he never unplugs his arcade consoles. Now I understand that there's player data and stuff, but leaving the games on and not even turning them off? Obviously, Litwak knows something that no one else did.
Is it just me or does the way Felix describe Turbo make him seem like he's a video game horror type character? Like when I hear his backstory now it made me think of characters like Monika, Al the Apple, Glitchtrap, Inscryption etc. That makes him all the more terrifying
A hero of a video game who loves being the center of attention, but turns to evil when someone else becomes more popular. This is a very interesting concept for a villain, and I wish they explored it more with Turbo/King Candy. Oh well, at least people can make fanfiction for that.
@@watchman0062 I mean you have this scene, and if you want I can link every scene with King Candy since I'm now interested to see where this idea of yours goes.
@@chloe.cheese3001 By the way for any of my stories I may do about Wreck it Ralph, keep in mind that I’m just going to ignore Wreck it Ralph 2’s existence. I’m sure most people would be ok with that...
@@chloe.cheese3001 So do I, it’s just that something about the the second film seems so money driven and out of touch especially with Ralph making incredibly out of date memes from around 2011... and the internet setting especially does not help, getting rid of the original arcade theme that made the original what it was.
I love Wreck-It Ralph its one of my favorite movies. But I really hate Gene as he was the one who made Ralph go "turbo". Gene didn't want Ralph at the party even though he was apart of the game and never even took into consideration that Ralph's home was a pile of bricks and when Ralph made a pep talk that he was tired of living alone in said pile of bricks, he in turned never sympathized with him nor took responsibility for is actions but just simply said that he can live alone in the penthouse. Gene is one of those toxic people who try their efforts in reminding people about in their place in the world, putting them down as a result.
Yeah, I never got why it's clear most of the video game characters treat their roles like a job - yet the villains get treated as bad guys. They should be able to see they are just doing what their role requires them to do.
@Fluffy bear I'm referring to the internal logic of Wreck-It-Ralph, not the perceptions of the audience. At the beginning Ryu and Ken are like "see you tomorrow" like it's a job and they're not actually beating the tar out of eachother. SOME of the video game characters acknowledge they are merely playing a role and that isn't what defines them as people - but the Nicelanders think Ralph is just wrecking their building because he's a bad guy. It doesn't make sense why they don't just accept he was programmed to fulfill that role and if he didn't their game would get pulled. It just seems internally inconsistent that SOME of the video game characters realise they are carrying out their roles in the game, and some don't.
@@PlanetZoidstar The Nicelanders took Ralph for granted and never saw him as their equal because they were too preoccupied with their own lives in the penthouse. None of them seemed to know or care what happened to Ralph after he got tossed in the mud. Felix didn't even know he lived in the dump. They had zero contact with Ralph other than in-game when he wrecks the building, which is why they only see him as the one-dimensional "bad guy" he was programmed to be. In other words they _know_ he's programmed to carry out that role, but were too selfish to realize Ralph was anything more than it.
And yet when VANELLOPE does it, it's considered all fine and dandy. Let's see how she feels when Sugar Rush finally goes out of order thanks to her selfish decision
Oh boy, do I want an actually GOOD 3rd movie where the screenwri- I mean Venelope finally takes responsibility for her actions and suffers the consequences of all that stuff that happened in the second "movie".
DUDE I SWEAR. Everytime I read the name "Kick Buttowski", I hear in my mind the announcer of Disney XD saying "Kick Buttowski, a stunt-man project" crystal clear, almost like a sleeping agent activation code
- Why this wrecker left his game? Flashback: "Hey ralph wow its pretty weird to talk to you, hey we just make a party without you even tough you are part of the game and we are neighbors, we dont have any real reasons to hate you its just that you being a game villain its supposed to generate an adversion to your presence, also you wanna a cake? Just do it quickly and make sure to domt talk to anyone and leave as you do it" Felix: lol i dunno
I think he honestly was unaware of Ralph's problems because I don't think the two really talked much. Thus, Felix was genuinely confused when Ralph reacted at the party. He didn't know Ralph's issues until that moment and thought over it again and again in his mind.
Considering that the Surge Protector spent so much time performing “random” security checks on Ralph, it’s no surprise that Turbo got into these games without effort
I'm pretty sure the Surge Protector had issues with villains, and Ralph in particular. Turbo was a 'good guy', so Surge had no reason to suspect anything.
Only so much Surge Protector can do when a car goes zooming through the lobby at turbo velocity. And then easy enough for Turbo to sneak out unnoticed with the crowd between the game being posted out of order and when it was unplugged.
@@USDMXTHEPROEXPERT I think the Surge Protector was formed when Turbo caused that mess, destroying both games in one go. So they made sure that this would never happen again.
I remember after seeing this scene I was like, "Wow. Too bad we don't get to know more about this guy." Then came the plot twist....then I was like "Racer...racing game...HOW DID I NOT SEE THIS COMING?!?!"
@B P They were both around when the arcade opened, so King Candy recognizing Ralph in a game where nobody else does makes me wonder how I could've not seen the twist coming.
Agree. After watching "Ralph Breaks the Internet" in the theater in December 2018, I was utterly angered at the fact where Vanellope went Turbo at the end by deciding to abandon Sugar Rush and stay at Slaughter Race forever, which is literally the exact same thing that Turbo did in the first movie, except that Vanellope for some odd reason gets a free pass for doing so unlike Turbo who got punished for it by having both games he abandoned and hacked unplugged for good.

He may have done the same thing he had done with Sugar Rush - But with a different game. And then when he heard of Sugar Rush being plugged in, He left his current game and put himself in Sugar Rush - Probably because the one he was in before was obsolete compared to Sugar Rush.
One of the storyboarders (Raymond Persi, also the voice of Gene and Zombie) said Turbo just hung around laying low, secretly taught himself code, and waited for an opportunity. You can see he wrote down the Konami Code on a Tapper's napkin, so someone at the bar might have taught that to him.
I was wondering that myself. If the Turbo incident happened in the early 90's, he'd have to hide for 20 years. Wouldn't other game characters catch him if he hid in the main terminal? How would he hide in another game when he is fixated on the spotlight? So many theories.
Turbos plan isn’t to simply beat the enemy racers, his plan is to completely shut down their game, he does this by turning himself into a virus and infecting the game, potentially destroying it and likely killing some of its population Edit: On a sidenote, Turbo is not bound to their rules in their game so the blue shell wouldn’t work on him
@@kaizoisevil and Fix-It-Felix Jr. is the universe's equivalent to Donkey Kong (which is why you never see Donkey Kong in the movie despite being an arcade icon)
@@theparrishshow9803 or the shell would either not target him or crash the game since the entire game is not programmed to interact with Turbo, so thr shells wouldn't target him but a stray one does, the game would break
Pac-Man wasn't always popular; a lot of people who were into space shooters (the biggest genre of arcade games at the time) had little interest in it It could've been that racing games were just more popular than maze games at Litwak's Arcade specifically
This is my favorite movie. Also,I like how the Nicelanders used to shun Ralph and continued to do so even after the arcade is closed,but once they found out he dipped they're all fearing for their lives.
+Kenna Bolt At the time of the game's high popularity, you have to understand that the graphics for those games back in the day were considered revolutionary.
@@donathan2933 he gives off the impression of a skull to me too in the sprite form all the other racers in his game don’t have the “nose” in the middle of the face unlike turbo
Turbo isn't really a Villain but in this movie he got Jealous. I think this movie is a different world. Think about it, the game, Turbo Time he was nice. then became Evil.
Turbo was actually hinted at during the beginning of the movie, you see his arcade console beside Ralph and Felix's when the arcade is going through the different games
Turbo seems like that spoiled kid who would wine so much that it would cause him and his freinds to have to go home so no one would be able to play the cool thing that he couldn't play
So turbo was once the king, became jealous of others competitive technology, now being in places where he should not and ruins franchises...... OMG Turbo is EA D:
Anyone think Turbo was going to well... go Turbo sooner rather than later. What kind of game designers would make a heroic character look like an undead, creepy smiler?
@@samanthasstoryproductions4894 yes, and also, vanellope didnt do it for evil. she did it unknowingly in ralphs point of view, because she wanted a change. she was tired of the same thing and wanted something new
That’s another reason why jealousy can ruin everything. Like how Turbo put both games out of order because of his jealousy. He can’t make players play his game forever, they have other choices to games they like to play than just one.
It's also worth mentioning that the original name for the Wreck It Ralph movie was going to be called Turbo and was about mostly about him that took place in the 1980's So yeah chalk up another reason why he wanted attention.
I’m years late but where is the source for that? I’ve read that the movie went through name changes like High Score, Joe Jump, Reboot Ralph, but never Turbo
I just realized that Surge Protector was likely created after the turbo incident, and if he existed before then his random security checks were likely enforced because of it. Come to think of it this is the arcade version of 9/11
Turbo’s ego and obsession for attention, fame and glory is what led him to becoming the monster he was. He has no qualms about using any kind of strategies and plans to keep the spotlight on him especially ones that involve innocent people getting hurt and/or killed. In his background story told by Felix and his king candy he seemed like a kind, caring friendly and soft spoken racer and ruler who cared about other people and citizens including ones of Sugar Rush. However, later in the movie we learned that this is nothing more than a façade to conceal his true colors. When things don’t go as he planned he revealed that he is a ruthless, evil, heartless, sadistic, pompous, arrogant, psychopathic, tyrannical, dangerous, selfish, ego centric, narcissistic, two faced, violent, hot headed, self centered, uncaring, callous, conniving, calculating, corrupt, murderous, obsessive, fame hungry, power hungry and cruel dictator who will not stop at anything to get what he wants.
I noticed a little bit of a plot hole in the story of Wreck-It Ralph. We never got to find out how Turbo got out of RoadBlasters before it and Turbo Time both got unplugged and how he came to Sugar Rush. My guess is Turbo drove out of RoadBlasters as fast as he could before the games got unplugged and hid away from view in Game Central Station for many years before he noticed Sugar Rush being plugged in and he would see it as an amazing opportunity and would drive into the game, but he knew he would be noticed if he was Turbo, so with the code he wrote down on a napkin from Tapper, he would go into the system and put himself into the game and create the King Candy disguise and then proceed to unplug Vanellope's code and lock up the memories of the other racers, thus setting up the events of the movie. Do you think that's how Turbo survived getting unplugged before becoming King Candy in Sugar Rush? If some of you are experts in Wreck-It Ralph logic and you agree that this is the explanation, do you think we should talk to Rich Moore to create a short film for either theaters or Disney+ to explain the continuation of the backstory? I think I know a good plot device for the short. What if Sour Bill explains to us how Turbo got into Sugar Rush and created the King Candy persona to blend in and show him deleting Vanellope's code and locking the citizens' memories like he did in the film. Does that sound like a good short film to tell? And I think I have a good title for the short. How about... "The Turbotastic Secret of King Candy"? Unless you have another cool title in mind? Still, what do you think of this idea?
It's rather clever to have Calhoun be the one Felix is expositing to, since it means Felix is expositing to an in-universe character who doesn't already know what going Turbo means.
That's how exposition SHOULD work, the characters who know should explain it to characters don't know so both they and the audience have learned the context, but in too many other movies the characters just either explain it to people who should already know just explain it to people who should know or narrate it ONCE at the beginning of the movie and it never again.
You know, there's one thing that freaks me out: This is surely not the only Turbotime Arcade in the world, and in every Turbotime game they have their own Turbos. What if all that Turbos are assholes just like this one? If so, then the 'Sugar Rush Incident' is just cakewalk (not a pun) compared to what the other Turbos could have done to arcades all over the world... O_O
But maybe some of the arcades with TurboTime never got the Roadblasters game, and even if they got a new racing game, maybe they put it far away from TurboTime, so the Turbos in those arcades never got jealous and game-jumped.
At 0:27, The Other turbos seem jealous, They were happy at there places, until turbo tryed blocking them out, So there is only one, no need to be scared!!
@@garffeels I don't think you get what they are saying. They don't mean other Turbos in the game. They mean other Turbos in other Turbotime games in other arcades the world over. Scary!
Don't you just love the detail in this scene and the intro? You know at the beginning it showed Fix-it-Felix Jr as one of few surviving 80's games and when the montage started, it showed Turbotime alongside it? And in this scene when it closed in it showed Fix-it-Felix Jr. next to Turbotime. The magic of Disney... :)
I just realized Turbo is also a dark reflection of Felix. They are both the main characters and heroes of there games, who are popular and beloved by others. Felix liked the attention and popularity, but didn’t want it for himself and respected and had concern for others. While at first he didn’t understand Ralph’s role as a the bad guy, he still respected him. While Turbo loved the attention to himself and had no respect for others and would do anything to be the center of attention, even taking over other games and ruining others. Turbo represents what Felix would have become if he let the attention get to his head and didn’t see how Ralph was treated.
You know, imagine if someone made an analog horror series on RU-vid about old Disney games, and Turbo showed up in some way. Especially on those race cart games.
So King Candy Is the Turbo He Controling Jubilenna Taffyta Candlehead Gloyd Rancis Swizlle Crumbelinna Adorabezle Snowanna And Minty But He Not Controling Vanellope
I love that a retro mascot type character is the villain, it's such a unique idea! Like imagine if Mario or Pacman pulled a turbo because they didn't get enough attention
@@kingdededelicious It would also be very ironic if Sonic were to ever “go Turbo” since he’s shown at Game Central Station giving out PSAs about the dangers of game-jumping.
Ralph is designed to be the ✌️bad guy✌️but is a good person behind the program. Turbo is designed to be the ✌️good guy✌️ but is a bad person behind the program. It's poetry they rhyme
I'm not gonna lie, when I first saw this film in the cinema, that shot at 0:38 really creeped me out (which is one of the reasons why Turbo is one of my favourite Disney villains)
This scene, when watching it the first time around, simultaneously straight up tells you and misdirects you from who the main villain of the movie is without you even realizing it until it's finally revealed to you in all its glory. That, my friends, is genius scriptwriting.
So you wish that Turbo was resurrected to become King Candy again to run Sugar Rush in Vanellope's absence? I think this would be good if he actually is a real part of the game and also is a good person.
Vanellope is getting loads of attention as you saw in Sugar Rush in Ralph Breaks The Internet. This could make Vanellope turn into the second Turbo is a Wreck It Ralph 3 was ever made
0:45 I’ll never forget when me and my friend from elementary school went to go see this in theaters. We were crying laughing for at least 5 minutes after the turbotastic scene over😭
