A quintessential cult film of the 1980s, Alex Cox’s singular sci-fi comedy stars the always captivating Harry Dean Stanton as a weathered repo man in a desolate Los Angeles, and Emilio Estevez as 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 repossessing a mysterious — and otherworldly — Chevy Malibu with a hefty reward attached to it.  Featuring the ultimate early-’80s LA punk soundtrack, this grungily hilarious odyssey is also a politically trenchant take on President Reagan’s domestic and foreign policies.

“The saltiest, sweetest, most sublimely sleazy tickle in the Los Angeles ribs. If it doesn’t convulse you with belly laughs, then you’re a stiff.” – Carrie Rickey, Boston Herald

“One of a kind. This mash-up of sci-fi, humor, and peculiarities, is a cult classic worthy of its following and influential in its intrinsically offset experience. It’s freak, and that’s a good thing.” – Kristy Strouse, Film Inquiry
