A true masterpiece. I loved Otto. I know Otto. I maybe am Otto. Can someone get a time machine and some fanfic going with Otto and Driver for a crossover movie about Otto repo'ing one of Driver's cars? Because that would be pretty awesome.

Ahora que el aspecto 'punk' es un anacronismo, brillan otras de sus virtudes:
- Las referencias a Kiss Me Deadly, desde el brillo en la cajuela hasta ese Los Ángeles quasiapocalíptico como protagonista.
- Harry Dean Stanton, nunca mejor. (lo siento club de fans de Paris, Texas)
- Emilio Estevez, en serio nunca mejor. (lo siento club de fans de la trilogía Mighty Ducks)
- Los chistes adelantados a su época (let's go get sushi and not pay)
- Uno…

One of the most central films in my awakening as a real movie buff, REPO MAN positively blew my mind when I first saw it in high school (soon after BLUE VELVET!) I had scarcely ever seen anything so funny, so bizarre, so exhilaratingly unpredictable and ALIVE. There is truly no movie like REPO MAN, and I doubt there ever will be again.
It starts out fairly normally, following a young punk named Otto (Emilio Estevez) who, almost accidentally, finds…

One of the most deceptively silly, multilayered comedies ever. Makes fun of mainstream culture in Reagan's America, makes fun of the counterculture for its own conformity ("Let's go get sushi and not pay!"), presents a blue-collar square with a defined moral code as a possible real iconoclast, then promptly makes fun of that notion. It's a savage attack on the many, many levels that anything authentic has been bought, sold, co-opted and repossessed. And what, finally, is authentic? The lattice…

"You repo men are all out to lunch!!"
I can't remember the last time I laughed this hard while watching a movie. Each and every minute of this film was just plain awesome. I absolutely loved it.

Gets better on every viewing.
The steadily increasing bizarreness means you somehow never notice the film go from a disillusioned punk learning the ropes of the repossession business to raids on CIA detention centres and glowing green cars. The final scene is nonsense, and leaves me a giant grin on my face every time.

One of my all time fav films. This is one of those films that i can just watch over and over again a pure cult classic. Everything from the fantastic Punk soundtrack to the truly great comedy moments this film is just pure gold.
The Blu Ray looks fantastic and the tv version as an extra on the Masters of Cinema is a great watch also to spot all the bad language dubbed out.

The punk/sci-fi film to beat, though Liquid Sky comes close. If you like your movies smart-ass, fast-paced, and absolutely unsentimental, this is what you want. In a terrific early performance, Emilio Estevez is Otto, a sneering L.A. punk who can’t hold a job and finds work as a “repo man” — a glorified car thief, really, who repossesses cars when their owners fall behind on their bills. Otto learns the ropes from veteran repo man Bud (Harry Dean Stanton, great…

One of my favourite films of all time. Pure, visceral, independent punk genius.

As close to a perfect movie as you'll find. Repo Man charts a fairy tale of the end days of youth. And who better to lead you into the mortal underworld of the Repo Code than a cokedusty Harry Dean Stanton? I watched this so many times as a teen it seems an actual part of me. It's like this film has a temperature. It's summer night in Ontario, 1986.
