REPO MAN (1984); DVD
DVD, Rated R, New
Repo Man is one of those essential films in the catalogue of must see punk movies. It’s essentially a punk science fiction movie and also a completely warped movie. If you like punk culture movies, this is definitely one to try out. Plus, you get a slamming soundtrack with songs performed by the Stooges, Black Flag, Suicidal Tendencies and the Circle Jerks. The Circle Jerks also appear as the lounge act in the bar. “Repo Man” may be known as a cult movie, but it deserves more recognition than that. Aside from being a window into the early-’80s punk culture, it shows the disintegration of American society. Alex Cox created a real gem here. Estevez is perfect in his role, as are Harry Dean Stanton as a detective, and Tracey Walter as the strange car’s driver.
