A tender treatment of the philosophy of the green Christmas Tree air freshener. "There's one in every car..."

My favorite lines from that movie are: -- "...eyes melt, skin explodes, everybody dead..." and -- "...let's get sushi, and not pay...." This is to comedy what "Paris, Texas" is to tragedy.

I really liked that movie too. But for the life of me/I can't fathom why Emilio Extevez was so good in "Repo Man" & so lousy in every movie he's done since.

The best thing about the movie is that neither Nick Cage nor Michael Caine are in it.

I do confess that my brain's been sluggish lately...but I saw "Paris, Texas" a few weeks ago and I can't understand what all the fuss was/is about. Neither the movie nor the music -- both of which have been raved and raved about -- impressed me very much. What did I fail to see?

I have never forgotten "Sometimes, people just explode..."

that whole explanation about coincidences and the cosmic unconscious is outstanding (Plate of Shrimp). that's the kind of philosophy you can take with you when the film's done. One of the defining movies of the '80s.

Repo Man is the type of film that should be watched yearly. Any person can see on the second viewing of Repo Man that it was made for multiple viewing. The movie has many layers, if you will.

For those who haven't seen it. Just remember. "A repo man's life is always intense"

repo man is easily my best loved movie. i don't quite know why i like it so much. also, being from the UK, we don't get Lorna Doones here. what the hell do they taste like? can someone let me know. funkybeatz@usa.net

Lorna Doones are shortbread cookies. Plain but good dipped in tea.

Otto, it's been brought to my attention, that your not paying attention, to the way you space the cans. Otto ma- Hey he's talking to you Fuck you, Kevin laughs so Otto pushes him through the cans. You gotta love gettin fired in a big way Otto. This is one of my favorite scenes of the greatest movie of all time Repo Man. I love this movie. A lot of guys like to sit around and watch their buddies fuck, I know I do.

The Mayans invented television.

Repo Man----Yeah, that's definitely one for my desert island list....I love the cans of generic product ("food", "drink") and the uniformally blond feds----they're all generic, too! And you've gotta love Otto, who in an age of lame catch phrases ("hey, bud, let's party!") never utters anything more endearing than "Fuck you, queer..." Plate-O-Shrimp...

A few years back, I caught a network broadcast of Repo Man, and the only thing better than the movie, was the editing for content. "I'm gonna get you, you MELON FARMERS!" I shit you not, Melon Farmers replaced another set of words with similar first letters.

Repo Man watched parts of it several years ago. The best thing about it is Otto's dad was played by my Great Uncle

I don't want to be a fucking REPO MAN

Otto like in Otto parts ?

There was a Boston area band called Plate of Shrimp a few years back. Last I was there, Johnny D's had an LP sleeve of theirs up on the wall.

'DIS IS MY MOVIE!!! I am a REPO MAN-one a' de' best in 'dis country in fact! Why is 'dat?-'cause I have NO SS#, NO bank account, NO drivers license (the kind any a' ya' fools are gonna' be able to find!) and, oddly enough, NO birth certificate! I am 'de unidentifiable repo man-and I'll be back!

Otto - I take cars from dildos who don't pay there bills...pretty cool huh

Is this the Jay who finds pleasure in shiting on public toilet seats knowing that later, janitors will have to clean it up? Or a different Jay?

Are there any repo jobs to be had for real?

Throwing out a seemingly useless paper bag out onto the street, the viewer sees that it is full of cash. Love momments like that. Gettin the DVD version for sure.

OH and how could I forget that extremely funny bad scatting attempt by the lounge band's lead singer. (I read that the band is the Circle Jerks.) And when Otto's punk friend is dying in the store, and he blames society... and Otto calls his bluff "You're a white suburban punk like me..." ok must leave Repo Man message board now.

"You like music" Sure "Well in that case, you're gonna love this. I was into these dudes a long time ago. Partied with 'em all the time. They asked me to be thier manager. I called bullshit on that." Almost every line in the movie is worth quoting.

It's like you're sitting there thinking about a plate of shrimp, and someone walks into the room and says "Plate of shrimp"

Otto? Otto Parts? HaaaaHaaa! You're fired, Bud! Hey Kid, Want a beer? Best Goddamned car in the yard! Yeah, like flies on shit! "John Wayne Was a fag..." THE HELL HE WAS!

Was REOP MAN ever edited from the first release? I seem to remember a line from when I first saw it with by Parnell saying "Vended food has all the nutrition you need. YOu got your Ho-Ho's, you got your ding-dongs, you got your DOritos..." I couldn't have made that up in my head and can see where the makers of those products may have been pissy about it.

"god damn dipshit rodriguez gypsy dildo punks!"

Want to be a repo man just need a truck I have one for sale. 1990 Iveco cabover diesel wheelift & sling. $6k jsr70@hotmail.com 937-379-2025 6/28/02 Thanks!!!

Q: best film of all time? A: probably ive been trying to get my hands on a tshirt but i think im gonna have to make my own. OTTO POURS CAN OF BEER ON THE FLOOR BUD "yknow what kid, usually when somebody pulls shit like that my first reaction is i wanna punch his fucking lights out. but yknow what...YOU'RE ALRIGHT!" ps i managed to persuade the band im in to cover 'coup d'etat' by the circle jerks even tho they all hate it. (plays when otto moshes with duke)

heyall... does anyone have the quote to the part"you know how you know if a woman loves you?, is if she'll have your dog." i cant remember the scene, and i dont have the DVD yet but will soon. the Circle jerks rule. cheers,

Awww, Dookie - Wooke burnt his wittle hand!!

Great soundtrack. Movie bored me to death... I know its supposed to be a fun b-movie, but sorry, Cox has got nothing on John Carpenter

John Carpenter Rulez!

I LOVE They Live.

I'm here to chew bubblegum and kick some ass...and I'm all out of bubblegum.

Best line of the movie.

I just cranked up some Circle Jerks and it brought back memories. "using my hand for an ash tray! I'll tell you who I am....I'm a repo man!" I'm looking for the joke with a microscope.......

Does this movie have anything in common with "The Big Lebowski"?

good god no. that would make it watchable.

rhiannon,[up at the top ,o the page]paris,texas hit me real hard,in the heart.that movie is the story of my life.its sad but true.shit happens.jeez,i even look like him,it rips me apart.

Someone pissed on the floor again?!

DAM RIGHT SPARKY,SOME DAY YOU ALSO WILL OPEN UP YOUR HEART TO THE U.S.A.,AFTER TWO BOTTLES OF PORT,AND YOU ALSO WILL BE EATEN ALIVE.---WITH GREAT RESPECT,BIG FOOT.

"A repo man's got ALL night, EVERY night!!"

"Here kid.... Have a beer." (Oly) TRIVIA: Frank Parnell, who drove that chevy malibu in the movie couldn't drive. He was a New York actor who never had a drivers license. One night while shooting the scene at the gas station, he was supposed to pull up to the pump, get out, and Logarto would steal the car. He pulled up and crashed into the pump. Frank is gone now. God rest his soul. "Best Goddamned car in the yard." (Oly)

I'm in love with Tracey Walter. :D

"F you Archie. Just for that you're not in the gang anymore."

I like the line in Casablanca where Bogart says "My name is Rick and I'll be your waiter."

well all i can say is this line is shit full o, trolls.

hey, what was that line that went something like, "i tried nihilism, but there was no future in it"?

in ref to the real oly's post above it looks like alex cox drivin the malibu in a lot of the scenes. 'specially at the start... 'hey! mrs mcgruder...i have something here for you...!' 'hey plechner!...coffee break!' fookin phenomenal film!

Hey, splooge. You said: >Throwing out a seemingly useless paper bag out onto >the street, the viewer sees that it is full of cash. Love >momments like that. Gettin the DVD version for sure. When you get the DVD you'll see that seemingly useless paper bag is in fact a beautifully wrapped gift. Not only that - there are three of them! Let's do crimes!

First time I saw it we had just done too many mushrooms. The movie paralleled the 'shroom experience - every thing went along fairly normal at first and then kept getting weirder. By the time we were too fucked up to follow the movie, the movie was too fucked up to follow. Otto together with the Rodriguez Brothers (for some reason?) having Uzi firefights in the hospital stairwell and flying green cars took a back seat to the priority of staring at the menace of the wolves on the velour wall-hanging above the fireplace who were actually running at me. Best movie of all time. The dude above that says "almost every line is worth quoting" hits it dead on. We've been quoting it since '84 almost on a daily basis - it applies to everything. Most used quote "How come ya don't hang out with your friends no more?" Everybody on this board has a different (mis)quote, and nobody prompted them to post one - need I say more? Holy shit there are others like us in the world!!! As for the edited version with the "Mellon Farmer's" quotes - it's a totally different version with different scenes and completely different dialog in parts! In '86 we saw an ad for the movie on a cable channel we didn't get - it had Bud smashing phone booths with a bat. It took us years to figure out that was a different version that they show on A&E (which we didn't get at the time). I'm gonna edit the two versions together so that every bit of both is included (except maybe some of the the one-word profanity audio edits), which will mean some same scenes with different dialog back to back - it'll be the ultimate version, probably 3 hours of pure obnoxious bliss!!!! Peace, Ron PS: Feel free to email me - you ain't a commie are ya? Don't want no commies in my email...no Christians neither...

big foot. harry dean stanton. ha ha.

has emilio had surgery? i saw a film with him in recently called 'late last nite' and he was looking quite rubbery... good film though respect to the repoistas!

You find one in every car, you'll see....

The 1st time I saw this movie in my youth, I noticed that when Otto repo'd the white 81 Cutlass in front of the old hispanic's man apt: the Cutlass was a coupe with the 4 square headlight design. Later on, the frontal shot on the freeway, its a 2 squared light Cutlass. I guess just as long as its a white Cutlass, who gives a crap. Olds made a "Cutlass Supreme" coupe w/ the 4 headlight design and the regular Cutlass 2 door, 4 door and 4 door hatchback model with the 2 squared headlights. If this was just for effect, Nesbith was a genius, if it was for shooting on a later date and didn't have the same white Cutlass it was cheap. Regardless, this movie is a cult classic and gets laughs everytime! If you don't think its funny than you'd better get a job as a frycook in Pacoima.

FatCat, Yes I remembered that movie, I guess it was something that the director cutted and edited the movie.

I did a repo job for someone else, It was scary job i ever did, and he Paid me $500. I will never do that again, It was scary job thought.

NOW YOU APPRECIATE HOW GOOD IT IS AT RTC INDUSTRIES HAHA! YOU SHOULD GO BACK AND TRY AGAIN!

Jack, RTC Industries has nothing to do with Car Repo. Get the point dick.

A MAN'S GOTTA DO WHAT A MAN'S GOTTA BE. BE ALL YOU CAN BE. TRY, TRY AGAIN! REPO SCARY RTC BASTARD. TRY, TRY AGAIN! WHEEL OF LIFE. RUN RUN RUN.

- Charming friends you've got there, Otto. - Thanks, I made them myself!

"But what about our relationship?" "Fuck that."

I'm looking (unsuccessfully) for a Repo Man tshirt...can you help this white, suburban punk?

I have a Repo Man logo shirt, original from the 80's and not for sale. What kind of shirt did you want? One with the poster artwork. I have a couple of those and might part with one.

I've seen that first t-shirt you mentioned...that's the one I'm looking for...I need an XL...but thanks anyway...peace, Ken

Someone in Texas is making a sequel called Waldo's Hawaiian Holiday. I can't wait till it comes out. I heard about it at a party in San Diego... Has anyone else heard about it?

Hi, yes it's true, the authorized sequel is being filmed in Dallas. "Waldo's Hawaiian Holiday" by Alex Cox follows the return of Otto (now a clone called Waldo) to Earth twenty years after he ascended to the heavens in the car. It's a great story and being filmed by a very independent film company in Dallas. You'll be hearing more about it this fall.

wow, i thought you made that up. apparently, it' true. (bottom of page)

Otto.....are you paying attention to me? Hey, he talking to yooooooooouuuuuuuuu. FUCK YOU.

...Yet in a recent survey,99% of Sorabjis regarded v,as "The Devil"

Actually, "Waldo's Hawaiian Holiday" has a Repo Man feel to it but of course it is not a sequel. Even if some websites say "Repo Man sequel, Quasi-sequel" etc. but the producers of Waldo have no control over someone's internet research and tying the films together like that! It's a totally different movie! The only thing Otto & Waldo have in common is a name ending in "o" and both are male. Waldo was born on Mars from the result of Martian science anyway. Waldo has white hair, Otto does not. Flying cars? Hey, Chitty Bang Bang flew, Speed Racers "Mach 5" kinda flys, a 1964 Malibu flew and now a rust bucket 1962 Chrysler Imperial flys... Lot's of movies have flying cars. If you liked Repo and haven't seen any of Mr Cox other films, you should check them out! Hit IMDB.com and see whats available out there. I recommend "Walker" (my personal faveorite) but, it was so controversial you will probably have to get it from a source outside of the U.S. "The Three Businessmen" & "El Patrullero" are pretty cool as well. Get "laid" off - 2006

Actually...Alex Cox (director of 'Repo Man' and many other great movies) wrote 'Waldo's Hawaiian Holiday'. I just found out from here that they're actually filming it. I'm reading the script currently (which is available at alexcox.com), and it is most definitely a sequel to 'Repo Man', albeit with different names. The whole plot is that Otto (Waldo) comes back from Mars after 20 years, and everything has changed. (One funny scene involves him being baffled by a cordless phone). And...right now, I'll tell you, the funniest line in it so far: "The perfect girl for me...would fuck all night, then at 3 a.m. turn into a pizza!"

now THATS a clever screen name.

i dig his email name enfermo y cansado sick and tired somehow, to my mostly non spanish-speaking ears, it sounds like a comedy team.
