	Alex Cox - REPO MAN
		So I wrote another screenplay: REPO MAN. This was based on my own experience of the punk scene, and working for Mark Lewis, a Los Angeles car repossessor and my neighbour in Venice, CA.
		REPO MAN was made as a "negative pickup" by Universal at the time when Bob Rehme was head of the studio.
		REPO MAN was a work of considerable freedom and creativity.

	Savant Review: Repo Man
		Repo Man put writer-director Alex Cox on the map as a major independent talent long before the industry acknowledged that there even was an independent American cinema.
		Otto learns the 'repo code' from the amphetamine-altered Bud (a wonderful Harry Dean Stanton), but being a repo man mainly seems to be a series of collisions with other LA crazies: battered convenience store clerks, competitor gangs of repo men, and sinister government agents.
		Repo Man is a satire on society that resists the urge to become nihilistic.

	Repo Man
		Repo Man is happily not one of these.
		As Bud tells Otto, "The life of a Repo Man is always intense!" Instead of "just say no", drug use and drinking is a necessary and integral part of a Repo Man's life.
		The Repo Men repossess cars as a reminder to the car's owners of the transitory nature of the possession of cars, or material wealth in general.

	Repo Man: Special Edition (1984)
		I suppose if it stuck to either the repo man side of the tale or just concentrated on the aliens, it could have been much more ordinary, but the combination of the two makes it almost inevitably quirky and unusual.
		Repo Man features a few supplemental materials, the most significant of which is an audio commentary from director/writer Alex Cox, executive producer Michael Nesmith, casting director Victoria Thomas, and actors Sy Richardson, Zander Schloss, and Del Zamora; all of them were recorded together in one session.
		The Repo Man commentary delves into a fair amount of nostalgic comments, and the participants also spend a lot of time simply enjoying the movie; many probably have not seen it in years and they clearly had a good time as they watched it.

	Repo Man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Repo Man is a 1984 cult film directed by Alex Cox, produced by Michael Nesmith, and starring Emilio Estevez and Harry Dean Stanton.
		Soon, Bud, Otto and competing repo men all over town are searching for a 1964 Chevrolet Malibu from New Mexico, ludicrously overvalued at $20,000; this vehicle, unknown to them, contains something mysterious and dangerously powerful in its trunk, also sought by a strange female FBI agent, Agent Rogersz (Susan Barnes) and her staff.
		The film draws on the experiences of Alex Cox, who worked briefly as a repo man in Los Angeles, but soon deviates into the surreal with aliens, the CIA, televangelism, punk rocker thieves and other strange characters and situations, all amid a long string of hilarious running gags and almost-impossible coincidences.

	THE AUTO REPOSSESSION BUSINESS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Their only recourse is to call in a repo man. However, this type of market is usually only targeted by established repo agencies who have been in business several years and list their services in the telephone book.
		A great deal of repo cases require the repo man to first locate the subject although this is not always the case.
		Since most people get very upset when they see a repo man repossessing their vehicle, most repossessions are completed in the middle of the night or while the debtor is working without the owner's knowledge.

	Repo Man (1984) - A Review by David Nusair
		With its rambling pace and thoroughly absurd premise, Repo Man is a prototypically divisive cult film that will either leave viewers marveling at its inventiveness or scratching their heads in frustration.
		Bud, a veteran of the repo industry, quickly takes Otto under his wing, much to the chagrin of his fellow repo men and women.
		Repo Man's effective opening half hour - which details Bud and Otto's tentative yet respectful mentor/protege relationship - is eventually replaced by an aura of blatant weirdness, a situation that's exacerbated by Cox's relentlessly off-kilter directorial style.

	DVD Review - Repo Man (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Otto has had his first taste of the life of a "repo man." Otto, affecting a sense of decency, rejects a job offer to become one and instead goes back home.
		Zander talks about how he has been working with film students and how many of them have stated that "Repo Man" was their inspiration to pursue filmmaking careers.
		In the credits, "Repo Man Wife #2" is credited as "Angelique Pettyjohn." For all you classic Star Trek fans out there, Angelique was in "The Gamesters of Triskelion" episode.

		"Repo Man" is one of those movies that slips through the cracks and gives us all a little weirdo fun.
		Repo men, we learn, live their lives on the edge, operating under extreme tension that is caused partly by their working conditions and partly because as Stanton explains, "I've never known a repo man who didn't use a lot of speed." Harry Dean Stanton is one of the treasures of American movies.
		I saw "Repo Man" near the end of a busy stretch on the movie beat: Three days during which I saw more relentlessly bad movies than during any comparable period in memory.

	DVD Talk Review: Repo Man
		Repo Man follows a down on his luck punk named Otto Maddox (a very young Emilio Estevez) who just happens to be having a horrible day.
		Repo Man is one of those films that speaks to a certain generation, specifically the disenfranchised youth of the eighties and nineties.
		The repo men even make up a family of sorts, as there are certain times where despite the competition that exists between them they will band together to stand up for certain beliefs.

	Repo Man Collector's Edition DVD
		Repo Man is a film firmly ensconced in the Cult Movie Hall of Fame (1980s Division).
		Repo men are middle-aged losers who snort coke, get drunk and live dangerously.
		When the repo men aren't stealing back cars and getting shot at, they wax philosophic about everything from the Repo Code (a perversion of Asimov's Laws of Robotics), to "Diuretics: The Science of Matter over Mind", to the mysteries of the "cosmic unconsciousness".

		'Repo Man' is science-fiction, though science-fiction in a manner not unlike Jean-Luc Godard's 'Alphaville' (1965).
		'Repo Man' offers an 80s-take on dystopia, a post-Reagonomic consumer-hell where dope-smoking baby-boomer parents are hypnotised by the TV, where nihilistic punks steal & where a strange man drives around with a neutron-bomb in the boot of his car, that the FBI are after as part of a wider UFO-conspiracy!
		He is completely believable as the obtrusive and uncaring repo man and he tackles the role with the neccessary lack of enthusiasm.

		There is a little inside joke here, all the repo men are named after beers, a fitting nod to their lives.
		The life of a repo man is hard enough without rouge aliens and crazy earthlings running around.

	Repo Man . Austin Chronicle . 11-30-98
		Of all the low-budget films to come out of the Eighties, Repo Man, Alex Cox's dark cult comedy about Eighties urban sprawl and alien paranoia, is one of the better ones.
		Even though Repo Man has the look of a Hill Street Blues episode, it is clever enough to keep you watching, throwing in a laugh every so often.
		But Repo Man will -- and should -- always be remembered as his masterpiece, of sorts, and deserves the same respect and attention given to The Rocky Horror Picture Show and This Is Spinal Tap, two films that define the cult category.

	Repo Man (1984): Reviews
		Repo Man has the type of unerring energy that leaves audiences breathless and entertained.
		Lifting its hood is like peering into a teen-ager's mind: miswired and noisy, Repo Man is capable of fast starts and amazing cornering.
		Cox's style is a step beyond camp into a comedy of pure disgust; much of the film is churlishly unpleasant, but there's a core of genuine anger that gives the project an emotional validation lacking in the flabby American comedies of the early 80s.

	The Flick Filosopher \| Repo Man (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Kinda cheap-looking and with a quasi-indie, "who gives a shit if we ever make any money" attitude that Miramax and The Blair Witch Project have all but wiped from the face of studio filmmaking, 1984's Repo Man reminds us that once, not so long ago, weird-ass movies were not verboten in Hollywood.
		In a kind of reverse product placement, Repo Man is full of consumer items so generic that their labels read simply "FOOD" and "DRINK," the effect of which is that you become even more aware of how bombarded we are by brand names.
		Chugging and swerving through Repo Man is a 1964 Chevy Malibu, driven by the (fictional) inventor of the neutron bomb, J. Frank Parnell (Fox Harris).
