Great Scene: “Repo Man”

The cult classic Repo Man (1984), written and directed by Alex Cox, has many memorable scenes. I want to feature the final scene in the movie, but in order to do that, we need to consider two earlier ones. First, there is the introduction of a mysterious car. Here is the script version of that scene:

Here is the movie version of the scene:

Reminiscent of the briefcase in Pulp Fiction.

The car eventually ends up in the possession of some “repo men” including Otto (Emilio Estevez), new to the trade, and Miller (Tracey Walter), who works at the repossession center. In this scene, Miller shares some of his cockeyed world view with a highly skeptical Otto.

Now the scene in question: The very end of the movie and the intersection of Miller, Otto… and the mysterious car.

Wonderful movie. If you haven’t seen it, do yourself a favor: Watch Repo Man for these and other great scenes.
