A volatile, toxic potion of satire and nihilism, road movie and science fiction, violence and comedy, the unclassifiable sensibility of Alex Cox's Repo Man is the model and inspiration for a potent strain of post-punk American comedy that includes not only Quentin Tarantino (Pulp Fiction), but also early Coen brothers (Raising Arizona, in particular), Men in Black, and even (in a weird way) The X-Files. Otto, a baby-face punk played by Emilio Estevez, becomes an apprentice to Bud (Harry Dean Stanton), a coke-snorting, veteran repo-man-of-honor prowling the streets of a Los Angeles wasteland populated by hoods, wackos, burnouts, conspiracy theorists, and aliens of every stripe. It may seem chaotic at first glance, but there's a "latticework of coincidence" (as Tracey Walter puts it) underlying everything. Repo Man is a key American movie of the 1980s--just as Taxi Driver, Nashville, and Chinatown are key American movies of the '70s. With a scorching soundtrack that features Iggy Pop, Fear, Black Flag, Circle Jerks, and Suicidal Tendencies. --Jim Emerson

The Alex Cox Collection (Straight to Hell/Repo Man/Death and the Compass/Three Businessmen)
Starring: Alex Cox Manufacturer: Anchor Bay ProductGroup: DVD Binding: DVD ASIN: B00007JMD3 Release Date: 2003-02-04 |
Description
From the very start, filmmaker Alex Cox has kept his audiences off-guard and unprepared for what he had in store. Even his detractors would be hard pressed to argue with that. He's one of the most independent and free-thinking filmmakers out there and this box set celebrates his career with the special edition DVDs of DEATH AND THE COMPASS, REPO MAN, STRAIGHT TO HELL, and THREE BUSINESSMEN.Customer Reviews:
Excellent collection of wide ranging movies.......2003-02-23
Repo Man is simply a classic 'indie film' - humour, insight, bizzare plot twists - it's all here. A must see. Straight to Hell is similar to "Dusk Till Dawn" - yet somehow better. But the standout is Three Businessmen --- Cox goes Becketesh to wonderful results.
If you like screwball comedies, punk rock, action movies, romantic comedies, sci-fi, and high faluting art things you'll love this collection!
