Repo Man was one of those films some of us in the 80's would watch every other day after school, alternating with Excalibur and a couple of others. It was one of those films that you really had to have been there; if you never saw it, then you'll likely never see what we saw in it. It has its flaws, sure, and it admittedly doesn't make a lot of sense - but it had a dry wit and an 80's style that just made it work at the time. If you're not sure why, then just consider a plate of shrimp, and go from there.
So it was with some surprise and trepidation that I first heard of an upcoming sequel titled Repo Chick, created and directed by Repo Man director Alex Cox. The trailer is embedded below for your inspection and judgment. If anything, it certainly looks even weirder than the first.
I'm reserving judgment on the film until I get to see the whole thing, and will have a lot more to say at that time. For now, enjoy!

Assuming you had a brainfart. The director's name is Alex Cox, not Allen.
I'll definitely give this a shot. Repo Man was my 2nd fave Alex Cox film, right under Sid & nancy.
