Product description
Product Description
Spoiled rich girl Pixie De La Chasse has been disinherited by her family due to her numerous driving offences, her failure to get a job and her overall lack of responsibility. When her car gets repossessed, Pixie ends up getting hired by repo men Arizona Gray and Aguas and soon becomes the best repo chick around with the help of her entourage: punk grrrl confidante, model-looks bodyguard and flaming stylist.
While on the hunt for some antique railroad cars (which carry a million-dollar bounty reward but are also being sought by a secret government agency!), clueless Pixie ends up on a wacky train ride which is actually a plot by a terrorist organization. If their demands for the criminalization of golf are not met, then the train (which is carrying long-missing growler bombs from the Soviet Communist era!) is headed straight for downtown Los Angeles. It's up to Pixie De La Chasse to save LA!
SPECIAL FEATURES:
* DIRECTOR S COMMENTARY WITH ALEX COX.

Review
A wacky blend of leftist, antiestablishment politics, eyesearing colors, outre costumes and manic overacting. --Variety

The film is only a psuedo-reimagining-esque version of "Repo Man", the only things the two films have in common are a few actors (such as the mighty Miguel Sandoval and Del Zamora) and a plot with loose connections to the world of reposession of goods; Newcomer Jaclyn Jonet plays Pixxi De La Chasse, a spolit rich girl who becomes embroiled in the World of Repo... Manning? (tough use of words there)and chasing a train car around which turns out to be the front for a terrorist plot. Not very easy to put down on paper if you haven't seen the film itself, but that's hardly the most outstanding aspect of the film, rather it's aesthetic. Filmed on front of Green Screen with hilariously cheap and gaudy CGI backdrops has allowed the film to accrue a number of criticisms from the critical clique out there, and it does feel sometimes as if you're watching the cinematic equivalent of a 1992-era Amiga game, but that's hardly the point - Cox has kept the big-wigs out of his business and made a film his way by making it the way he has. Makes you think that mainstays like "Clerks" and "Reservoir Dogs" could look very different if made today, all CGI shop counters and computer-generated severed ears. Ouch.
Anyway, check out this slice of skewed pop-culture satire and pathos as soon as possible, in a country governed by the Tories we need someone to remind us that we actually do still have a pulse... And a strong one at that.
Tongue-in-cheek, often silly, garish and bombastic, Repo Chick is at least a refreshingly honest and imaginative piece of cinema, in a time when fresh ideas are fast running out.
This is just a fun, different yet strangely familiar little film.
I know there will be some fanboys/girls who will howl that it is not a Repo Man sequel. Anyone looking for a direct sequel to Repo Man needs to hunt down "Waldo's Hawaiian Holiday: The Official Sequel to Repo Man", the graphic novel done by Alex Cox when the filming of the sequel fell apart.
Keep an open mind. You might be surprised.
