Repo Man DVD 1984 Collectors Edition Michael Nesmith's Legacy - as Seen by Some... Don't even try to keep up with the goings on of the story, just sit back and let your self be entertained by this Bizarre Cult movie. The Repo Man DVD is A volatile, toxic potion of satire and nihilism, road movie and science fiction, violence and comedy, the unclassifiable sensibility of Alex Cox's Repo Man is the model and inspiration for a potent strain of post-punk American comedy that includes not only Quentin Tarantino (Pulp Fiction), but also early Coen brothers (Raising Arizona, in particular), Men in Black, and even (in a weird way) The X-Files. Otto, a baby-face punk played by Emilio Estevez, becomes an apprentice to Bud (Harry Dean Stanton - See "Paris Texas" for Stanton's outstanding performance in a long drawn out movie, that leaves you satisfied at the end), a coke-snorting, veteran repo-man-of-honor prowling the streets of a Los Angeles wasteland populated by hoods, wackos, burnouts, conspiracy theorists, and aliens of every stripe. It may seem chaotic at first glance, but there's a "latticework of coincidence" (as Tracey Walter puts it) underlying everything. Repo Man is a key American movie of the 1980s--just as Taxi Driver, Nashville, and Chinatown are key American movies of the '70s. With a scorching soundtrack that features Iggy Pop, Fear, Black Flag, Circle Jerks, and Suicidal Tendencies. --Jim Emerson The Repo Man DVD is a collectible item at the best of times, a cult classic in every sense of the meaning, but the Licence plate box set collectible is a particularly sought after piece, get it here...
