Don't see what the fuss is about with this movie. It seems made up as it goes along and is never gripping.

One of the coolest films I've ever seen. So watchable / quotable. The music cues and light emitting plot devices must have been a huge influence on the likes of Quentin Tarantino. The nods to warfare / the economy / societal problems all hint at it being a comment on the mid 1980s political climate. Harry Dean Stanton was brilliant. A film that has really stood the test of time. Very funny in parts too. I'm off to seek out more of Alex Cox's movies.

Despite always hearing good things about this movie, it just wasn’t for me. Everything just felt random and it just didn’t appeal to me.

Not my thing, it has a strong Carpenter, 80s cult feel to it and I typically don't dig that. Very cheesy and stupid premise that isn't elevated by anything besides the occasional good one liner. Bad, melodramatic acting by everyone besides the reliable Harry Dean Stanton, an annoying one-dimensional protagonist, nor does the LA punk aesthetic feel particularly cohesive due to some bad camerawork, dodgy electronic beats and surf guitars. I don't see what's supposed to separate this from the pile of schlock that's been forgotten about over the years, besides some minor creative choices here and there (e.g. the food and drink labels). 2.5/10

Watched on dudes night this week, it was my pick...

This is a favorite of mine that I hadn't watched in a really long time. After watching again it keeps it spot as a favorite, I thought it held up really well. The other guys... Did not like it at all. This was mostly due to there being nearl More

⚠ Spoiler Warning: Repo Man (1984) & Time Bandits (1981)

At first glance, Repo Man and Time Bandits seem worlds apart, but they share more than a few thematic and stylistic connections. Both directors—Alex Cox and Terry Gilliam—were shaped by 60s counterculture and their time in 80s Engla More

It happens sometimes. People just explode. Natural causes.

Repo Man has become one of those films where even though it was savaged by many critics of the time (not Ebert, he loved it), was met with very poor box office as well, but now everyone seems to shout that they loved it back then, always More
