Blu-ray and Limited Edition Blu-ray
SteelBook releases of Alex Cox's cult film
Repo Man (1984), starring Harry Dean Stanton, Emilio Estevez, Tracey Walter, and Olivia Barash. Street date is February 20th.
After quitting his dead-end supermarket job, young punk Otto (Estevez) is initiated as a "repo man" after a chance encounter with automobile repossessor Bud (Stanton). An illicit, high-voltage life follows, including an adrenalised search for a mysterious '64 Chevy Malibu loaded with radioactive – and extragalactic – cargo...
With an iconic soundtrack (Iggy Pop, Black Flag, Suicidal Tendencies), stunning Robby Müller cinematography, and iconoclastic direction,
Repo Man remains one of the great debuts of the 1980s.
