The poster makes this oddity of film making sound incredible...and it is.
Plot: Emilio Estevez (Young Guns) is Otto, a suburban punk who really doesn't give a shit. Having just been relieved of his supermarket job, Otto is at a loose end, when Harry Dean Stanton (Paris, Texas, The Care Bears Movie) shows up, gives him the keys to a car and a promise of $25 if he drives it back with him. That'd be fine, except Otto just accidentally repo'd his first car, to the annoyance of the gentleman trying to throttle him as he drives off. Otto keeps the job and sets out with his mentor and endeavours to follow the repo-code. Now, here's where the film changes- there's an alien in a stolen car boot (who vaporises anyone one who has a look inside), a team of sun-glassed FEDs knocking about, a lady with a metal hand and another team of repo-men!
Who will find the car? Who will receive the $20,000 bounty? Who will explain why the food and drinks all say- 'food', 'drink'?
Line of the film: "What about our relationship?!"
"Huh?...F*ck youuuuu"
Budget: $1,500,000
Gross: $3,750,080
Fun Fact: The other repo men are all named after beers. There was also talk of a sequel- Repo Chick.

"It's the underlying lattice of coincidence..."
ReplyDeleteVery brave to try and explain why this is such a great movie! It is, but have never been able to get across why, other than by making people watch it.
Another fun fact - the TV version (edited for profanity) simply replace the word f*ck with "flip", leading to the wonderful exchange:
"Flip you!"
"No, flip you!"
"No, flip you!"
"No, flip you! Melon-farmer!"
