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 Reagan's domestic and foreign policy.

repo man submitted by a2sue on July 30, 2013, 5:35pm i enjoyed seeing emilio estevez and harry dean stanton in the same film together
Awesome submitted by dave_472 on July 18, 2020, 11:33am This was one of my dad's favorite films, and I love it too!
Bizarre and Funny submitted by hrgray on July 14, 2023, 10:01pm There are so many odd and surreal things happening in this movie, it's almost hard to catch all of them in one viewing. This movie managed to be very satirical of life in the 80's without sacrificing its wild plot and genuine humor. The soundtrack of punk music was amazing too!
