NOTES
Originally produced as a motion picture in 1984
About a weathered repo man in desolate downtown Los Angeles, and the nihilistic middle-class punk he takes under his wing. The job becomes more than either of them bargained for when they get involved in reclaiming a mysterious, and other worldly, Chevy Malibu with a hefty reward attached to it. Featuring the ultimate early-eighties L.A. punk soundtrack, this grungily hilarious odyssey is a politically trenchant take on President Reagan₂s domestic and foreign policy
Special features: commentary soundtrack with director Alex Cox, executive producer Michael Nesmith, casting director Victoria Thomas, and actors Sy Richardson, Zander Schloss, and Del Zamora; Plate o' shrimp (interviews featuring musician Keith Morris and actors Dick Rude, Olivia Barash, and Miguel Sandoval); Iggy Pop (interview); The missing scenes (director Alex Cox, executive producer Michael Nesmith, neutron bomb inventor Sam Cohen, and character J. Frank Parnell watch and discuss deleted scenes); Trailers; Repossessed (roundtable discussion about the making of Repo Man featuring director Alex Cox, producers Peter McCarthy and Jonathan Wacks, and actors Del Zamora, Sy Richardson, and Dick Rude); Harry Zen Stanton (discussion between actor Stanton and producer Peter McCarthy); The TV version (the director's "cleaned-up" television version of the film).
