- Synopsis
- Otto is working at the grocery when he loses his temper and quits. Befriended by a Repo Man, Otto sees vehicle repossession as a kind of modern buckaneering. He is attracted by the adventure and the 'who gives a damn' attitude of the other Repo men. At the same time a package is taken from a government lab that has strange effects on anyone who sees it. It is hidden in a car which the government lists for reposession with a hefty reward.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The real thing. It's a sneakily rude, truly zany farce that treats its lunatic characters with a solemnity that perfectly matches the way in which they see themselves"
-
"'Repo Man' has the type of unerring energy that leaves audiences breathless and entertained."
-
"The talents behind the bizarre and irreverent 'Repo Man' are a real discovery"
-
"A brilliant satire on modern society...deserves the same respect and attention given to 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' and 'This Is Spinal Tap'"
