He soon finds that his pot-smoking, ex-hippie parents have donated his college savings account to a televangelist, supposedly to supply Bibles to El Salvador.

Depressed and broke, Otto falls in with Bud (Harry Dean Stanton) a seasoned repo man working for the disingenuously named "Helping Hand Acceptance Corporation", a small-time automobile repossession agency. Harry Dean Stanton (born July 14, 1926) is an American Actor. Repossession is generally used to refer to a Financial institution taking back an object that was either used as collateral or rented or leased in a transaction While repelled by the concept at first, Otto's opinion is rapidly changed when he is paid cash for his first "job. "

Otto soon learns that "the life of a Repo Man is always intense. " He enjoys the drug use, real-life car chases, and good pay. His old punk rock lifestyle seems boring by comparison, and he begins to develop a rapport with his fellow repo men as well. When he returns to a punk club to see a lounge act (played by real-life hardcore band Circle Jerks), he is amazed at how terrible they now seem. Lounge music is a retrospective description of music popular in the 1950s and 1960s encompassing such genres as Exotica, Easy listening and Space age pop The Circle Jerks are a Hardcore punk band formed circa 1979 in Hermosa Beach California.

Soon, Bud, Otto and competing repo men all over town are searching for a 1964 Chevrolet Malibu from New Mexico, ludicrously overvalued at $20,000; this vehicle, unknown to them, contains something mysterious and dangerously powerful in its trunk, also sought by a strange female FBI agent, Agent Rogersz (Susan Barnes) and her staff. The Chevrolet Chevelle (pronounced "sha-vell" is a mid-sized Automobile from Chevrolet debuting in 1964 New Mexico ( is a state located in the southwestern region of the United States of America.

The film draws on the experiences of director Alex Cox, who worked briefly as a repo man in Los Angeles, but soon deviates into the surreal with aliens, the CIA, punk rocker thieves and other strange characters and situations, all amid a long string of running gags and almost-impossible coincidences. Extraterrestrial life is Life originating outside of the Earth. near as long as it used to be several months ago It has been actively summarized and split into sub-articles and there is a dynamic talk page discussion of all The running gag is an often amusing Joke or reference that appears repeatedly throughout a work or series of works
