    After being fired from his job, Los Angeles slacker and punk rocker Otto (Emilio Estevez) lands a gig working for an eccentric repossession agent named Bud (Harry Dean Stanton). At first, Otto is reluctant to work as a repo man, but he grows to love the fast-paced job. After learning of a Chevy Malibu that has been given a $20,000 price tag, Otto embarks on a quest to find the car with the beautiful Leila (Olivia Barash), who claims the trunk's contents are otherworldly

    The "ska band" that you see in the scene where Otto attempts to repossess the old lady's car is The Untouchables, a band that was very popular in the early 80's LA mod revival, and played in the LA music scene through the 80's and 90's. I was in a band that played with them several times in the early 80's.

    Not sure if you're a physical media guy, but the Criterion Blu Ray for this film is amazing. I watched this movie a hundred times on cable and VHS in 4:3 aspect ratio. Seeing it in widescreen with a good home theater set up was like watching a different film. There's also a ton of great extras.

    Kurt that was awesome great job. The pace of the video is great because you move from location to location and keep it interesting. I remember Repo Man all too well I used to watch it whenever it came on HBO at my dad’s place back in ‘84-85. I used to love when I’d see come on late between 11 and 1 am , it was always a classic you could watch over and over.
    Can’t we go back to the ‘80’s? I miss it man. Thanks Kurt. ✌️

    FWIW, I’m 80% sure that at the time of filming, the Nate Starkman building (@15:35 or so) was partly occupied by Savage Republic leader Bruce Licher’s post punk/indie record label Independent Project Records and his letterpress/design business. They released great vinyl by Savage Republic, 100 Flowers (Urinals), Human Hands, Camper Van Beethoven, et al. Usually printed on very distinctive brown cardboard stock, instantly recognizable in shops.

    Truly a "punk rock" movie. Great songs by the likes of The Circle Jerks and Suicidal Tendencies. However, the Jerks bassist Zander Schloss said Emilio Estevez, while a competent actor, was not a punk and had no knowledge about the music whatsoever.
    Keep on punkin', though Kurt!
