I got to see this film in Bradford last night and was more than pleasantly surprised; very funny and well acted. It's ironic satire and the trailer actually does the film a disservice. The special effects are a part of the joke. They are deliberately naff and add to the comedy; they are certainly not to be taken seriously. I loved the crowd scenes with 3 inch toy train figures and the sets giving a nod to Dr Strangelove. The story dips a little about 40 minutes in but picks up again for the final third.

Jaclyn Jonet carries the film well, and Miguel Sandoval's 'less is more' style adds to the comedy value. I think he should market the toothpicks he chews on for the whole film; how about Sandoval's splints, or Miguel's minty munchers?

The actors looked like they had a ball and the people involved who made the effort to attend the Bradford screening are testiment to Cox's passion.

I really hope people check the film out and I think it will find a following from word of mouth and will slowly achieve the cult status it thoroughly deserves.

El Cox I salute you and all those who sailed on the chick.

Now could someone please arrange a date for me with Jaclyn Jonet....

Judging by the comic book feel it could work. The thing about Repo Man was that every single character was cast and acted soooo spot on that it would like trying to get lightning to strike the same spot twice. And you have to use Iggy Pop and The Plugz again.

This is a film I saw when I was about 8 years old, and fell totally in love with, for reasons I didn't even really understand. I think it was just the total randomness and rebelliousness of it. I've re-watched it dozens of times over the years, catching on to more of the humor and cultural references as I got older and never growing tired of it. It's the movie that keeps on giving.
I wouldn't think a sequel were really possible. Some co-workers just played the Repo Man trailer back-to-back with the Ghostbusters trailer on youtube (same year). It made it clear how totally un-marketable Repo Man was, which was one of the brilliant things about it.
I would take a world with no ironic Quentin Tarantino remake bullshit, and more films like Repo Man, any day. Brilliant cast (God love Harry Dean), classic dialogue - fucking cinematic lightning in a bottle.

Lots of people here saying 'please don't ruin the first movie!' and such, I don't see how seeing as though this isn't a remake. The fact that is still in the hands of Alex Cox has got to be a great thing.. I can't wait for this, Repo Man is one of my favourite films, this will undoubtedly be a gem in it's own right!

I will not watch until I hear reviews. I'm racking my brain to imagine how it could NOT suck. David Lynch may be the answer. I hope Harry Dean Stanton makes a cameo, at least.

thanks Artnam, I know from being a disillusioned moderator at a certain music database that information submitted by every joe and jane on the planet can be a very dicey proposition (indie musos and label owners are among the worst, lol).

anyways I'll be extremely interested to see what Phil Tippett and Alex Cox come up with in the post production.

No dopey,

It was listed prematurely without the proper order of credits. Someone from the production (more than likely an actor), jumped the gun, as the cast listings were out of order and the lead actress' name was not even included. There are contractual obligations for the production, to have the actors listed in a specific order. Since the movie is in post production, they will wait to list the movie. More than likely, the final cast and crew list will be listed on imdb within the next two months. As to the movie sucking, it has already been invited to this year's Venice Film Festival in Italy. Give it a chance kiddies, or else you'll be stuck watching movies with commercial products placed every minute. If you do not support indie cinema, it will die. Remember, Slum Dog Millionaire was an indie movie.

it was probably canned in postproduction once they realized how bad it was.

I have an original Repo Man poster that I will be listing on E bay after Alex Cox signs it. I have been in 9 of his movies. He gave me my big break in Repo Man.

Can't wait. Hope Searchers 2.0 makes it to DVD soon. As for the music, Stereo Total, Paavoharju, Fiery Furnaces, Aavikko and Nathaniel Mayer in addition to the above. And hey, Iggy is still indie-friendly. Good luck, the new book is fantastic.

Hey, man cool site, but personally I think frames are just frickin' horrible. Sorry to hear about your cancelled trip too. Guess we're all battening down the hatches with the recession.

Like it or not, Repo Chick has completed principal photography. The lead is actress, Jaclyn Jonet, who was the female lead in "Searchers 2.0", which is also written and directed by Repo Man director, Alex Cox. Many cast members from Alex Cox's other films, Repo Man, Sid & Nancy, Straight to Hell, Walker, Death and the Compass, The Winner, Revenger's Tragedy, El Patrullero and Searchers 2.0, are in Repo Chick.

Some of the cast members are Del Zamora, Miguel Sandoval, Robert Beltran, Chloe Webb, Karen Black, Tracy Walter, Tom Finnegan, Eddie Velez, Zander Schloss, amongst many others.

And for your information, that is the real Alex Cox, listed above, replying to your worried comments on the music. How do I know? I am one of the actors who has worked with him on 9 of his movies. Artnam is my online name to promote the movie. Who am I? Hint: One of my lines from Repo Man; "Old, we paid it off! You see, this is our favorite car."

So, if you have some real suggestions to the music, tell him. Reply to his comment above. He might take your suggestion. Why not, is what I say. Give it a chance, before you condemn it.

Ahhh ya entiendo!!! so this is why the writer pulled the deal from a group of guys, who were making it on a shoestring / no budget a couple of years ago when it was 3/4 the way through to completion and the guys put their heart and souls and every penny they had into it! This is not the first sequel, haha!
