I thought Repo Man was every bit deserving of its "cult classic" status. It's a great film filled with plenty of funny and unusual moments, and the cast does a great job as well.

Picture:
Repo Man is presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen, and it is also THX certified. The picture is crisp, clean, and virtually defect free; it looks quite remarkable for a film its age. However, probably as a result of the film's age, the colors are somewhat muted occasionally.

Sound:
Repo Man contains a newly remixed Dolby Digital Surround 5.1 track, taken from the original mono soundtrack, and a Dolby Surround 2.0 track. Surround use, for the most part, is very subtle during the film; however, the film's score does spread out some.

Extras:
Repo Man includes quite a few extras including: a reproduction of the movie poster, cool car-themed motion menus, the theatrical and video trailers, six cast and crew bios, and the THX Optimode calibration test. However, the best extra is the very entertaining and interesting screen-specific audio commentary with Alex Cox, Michael Nesmith, Victoria Thomas, Sy Richardson, Zander Schloss and Del Zamora. It contained quite a few neat behind the scenes tidbits and some great stories to boot.

Summary:
Anchor Bay has done a tremendous job with Repo Man. It has terrific picture, great sound, and some decent extras to top it off. Those unfamiliar with Repo Man should definitely give it a rent. Fans of the movie will want to purchase either this or the Limited Edition package coming out soon – you won't be disappointed!
