Released in 1984 and running 92 minutes,this odd film has a "cult"status I just don't see.Punk music and L.A.Cal. form the back drop for a idea about aliens and radiation and time travel and,repossession of automobiles,and,well you get the idea.The cast is what I liked.Emilio Estevez and that man Harry Dean Stanton,are enough for me to see it once,but for you??Thus only a 50/50 2 1/2 star rating,I will say however,it is a different sort of sci-fi film.Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary below.
Frustrated punk rocker Otto quits his supermarket job after slugging a co-worker, and is later dumped by his girlfriend at a party. Wandering the streets in frustration, he is recruited in the repossession of a car by a repo agent. After discovering his parents have donated his college fund to a televangelist, he joins the repossession agency (Helping Hand Acceptance Corporation) as an apprentice "repo man". During his training, he is introduced into the mercenary and paranoid world of the drivers, befriended by a UFO conspiracy theorist, confronted by rival repo agents, discovers some of his one-time friends have turned to a life of crime, is lectured to near cosmic unconsciousness by the repo agency grounds worker, and finds himself entangled in a web of intrigue concerning a huge repossession bounty on a 1964 Chevy Malibu driven by a lunatic government scientist, with Top Secret cargo in the trunk.
