Dennis {Hopper;} because he felt that the movie would never get the financing. Dennis Hopper loved the film, and wanted director Alex Cox to be on Hopper's special list of directors, but it never happened.
| What was Emilio Estevez (Otto) afraid of when Del Zamora (Lagarto Rodriguez) carried him out of the FBI people's rooms? | Repo Man

That he would be dropped. Del said that Emilio didn't need to be afraid, because he was really light, but Emilio worried anyway.
| Who can be seen in the background when the Repo Men comes to beat up Mr. Humphries? | Repo Man

Otto's nerdy friend Kevin. Zander Schloss (Kevin) said that Alex Cox was either trying to suggest something about the character, or he was just grovelling for his job back. In his pajamas. Right.

Alex Cox. Alex Cox can still make those convincing dying sounds.

| What singer makes a cameo appearance in the movie as a photographer? | Repo Man
|
Jimmy Buffet. I think he's the one with his back turned, but anyway, he's in the scene where the FBI guys are burning the body of J. Frank Parnell.
| What car got stolen during the filming? | Repo Man
|
J. Frank Parnell's car. Alex Cox was driving the car, and he parked it and it was stolen. They later found it, of course, after they had already bought another Malibu.
| At the beginning of the film we see a lovely 1964 Chevy Malibu being driven along a deserted desert road by a very unbalanced individual. The Malibu is pulled over for speeding, during which time the police officer insists on looking into the trunk. After opening the trunk, the officer is 'zapped', and all that remains are his boots! Including the police officer, how many people are 'zapped' in this way during the film? | Have you seen 'Repo Man'?
|
2. The only other victim of the glowing trunk is a mohawk-wearing punk rock pal of Otto. The special effects, if one may call them that, are rather primitive...a big light, the outline of a skeleton and a puff of steam. Apparently, this was not a big-budget film...
| Otto visits his parents out in 'Edge City' during the film. Upon entering the home he finds both his mother and father glued to the television, watching their favorite television preacher. What is this reverend's name? | Have you seen 'Repo Man'?
|
Reverend Larry. Reverend Larry is commanding his 'flock' to send money. One of the best lines of the film comes from Larry, who states unequivocally, 'I do want your money, because God wants your money.' Finally an honest televangelist!
| Otto's mentor during the film is a repo man named Bud, a man who imparts a rather interesting and very cynical philosophy to the young Otto. At one point, Bud announces that he doesn't allow two types of people in his car. Which two groups does Bud shun? | Have you seen 'Repo Man'?
|
Commies and Christians. Bud announces the importance of 'credit' in American society, and criticizes the Russian 'commie' system because they don't have credit. When Otto question's Bud's words, Bud asks, 'What are you, some kind of commie?' Otto replies, 'No, I ain't no commie.' Bud responds, 'Good! I don't want no commies in my car. No Christians either!' Bud is generally a misanthrope, he also claims to hate 'ordinary people'.
| Otto gets to talking with one of the repo men, a very odd sort named Miller. Miller talks metaphysics with Otto in what has to be one of the most disjointed speeches of the film. What food dish does he mention in his odd monologue? | Have you seen 'Repo Man'?
|
Plate o' shrimp. Miller's longest monologue is as follows: 'A lot o' people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a bunch o' unconnected incidents 'n things. They don't realize that there's this, like, lattice o' coincidence that lays on top o' everything. Give you an example; show you what I mean: suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.' Otto responds by asking Miller if he 'ate a lot of acid...back in the hippie days'.
| Otto meets a girl during the film named Leila that he takes a liking to. Aside from her work at the 'United Fruitcake Outlet' (notice the initials) and her bizarre theories about alien beings, what other odd activity does she clearly relish? | Have you seen 'Repo Man'?
|
Torture. Leila shows a clear relish for torture when she appears in the control room of a torture chamber, with Otto as the 'test subject'. She happily delivers an electric shock to her erstwhile boyfriend. She also announces, 'I'd torture someone in a second if it was up to me.' Later in the film when she sees Otto again she is quoted, 'I'm glad I tortured you!' All in fun, of course...
| Late in the film, Otto finally manages to catch up with the Chevy Malibu, which is being driven by the same very odd man, a certain J. Frank Parnell. Parnell delivers a monologue that is perhaps more bizarre than Millers. He talks of lobotomies, chest X-rays and what type of military weapon? | Have you seen 'Repo Man'?
|
Neutron bomb. According to Parnell, it was his friend who designed the neutron bomb, a weapon so deadly it can kill all people but leave buildings and other objects standing. Fortunately, Parnell says, his friend had a lobotomy and 'now he's well again'.
