About this movie

Emilio Estevez and Harry Dean Stanton team up to prove that anything worth having is worth stealing back in this non-stop action-comedy. After frustrated punk rocker Otto Maddox (Estevez) quits his dead-end supermarket job, he's hired by Bud (Stanton) to work as an apprentice "repo man." In no time, the rookie is caught up in a series of off-the-wall adventures involving government agents, UFO cultists, hired thugs and a lobotomized nuclear scientist, culminating in the search for an incredibly valuable '64 Chevy containing a secret that can change the course of civilization overnight! An explosive action-packed cult classic that combines the seedy underworld of car repossession with the quirky realm of science fiction. - ( Original Title - Repo Man )

Ratings and reviews

"A repo man goes it alone" I still found it relevant and fun and hilarious. I had forgotten so much about this film. Really the only things I remembered were Emilio, Stanton, the Malibu and deadly alient in the trunk. Stanton has forever been one of my favorite character actors. I was trying to figure out why the character Debie seemed so familiar. I looked up the actress, Jennifer Balgobin and realized the actress' name was familiar as well. I then found she played Dr Lillian Hobbs on Babylon 5.

Perfection. I had a VHS copy and watched this movie after school every day for a year. Just discovered there is a Vol.2 in the works. Have no VCR or tape, so bought it so my kids can experience the Intense of Repo Man
