Line 4:
** Also, does anyone else find it creepy he's so obsessed with Shilo being like his wife? He also buys her some really short clothing.
* [[Awesome Music]]: Many. "Chase the morning" and "Zydrate Anatomy" are two examples.
* [[
* [[Broken Aesop]]:
** If you think the aesop is [[Screw Destiny]], you probably think it's broken on account of {{spoiler|Shilo's father leaving her alone, with nothing, unprepared for living on her own in the [[Crapsack World]].}} If you think the aesop is "megacorporations rule the world" or "always read the fine print," it's not broken.
Line 13:
** That said, the film actually ''doesn't'' contain any examples of this. Rotti and Nathan are rescued from this label by having a [[Morality Pet]] in Shilo and by ''realizing'' what bastards they've become and hating themselves for it (this is harder to see with Rotti, but the melancholy tone of "Gold" coupled with the flashbacks to magazines hailing him as a hero certainly implies it), and Rotti's kids, while certainly horrible people, are [[Dead Baby Comedy|funny]], not revolting.
* [[Creepy Awesome]]: Blind Mag, Graverobber & Pavi Largo.
* [[Critical Dissonance]]: Most critics were tough on this film. They warned people away, rated it as low as possible, expressed horror at the casting choices, scoffed at the low budget, and generally just sat there being sick into their hats. But to no
* [[Crosses the Line Twice]]: Just about anything to do with the Largo siblings. And the Repo Man playing ventriloquist with a corpse definitely deserves mention too. The last part with the puppet is probably the freakiest moment in the entire film, and it's subtle and small as Hell: he and the puppet are singing at the same time.
* [[Cult Classic]]
Line 47:
* [[Just Here for Godzilla]]:
** Fans of Anthony Stewart Head, Sarah Brightman, Paul Sorvino, Alexa Vega, Paris Hilton, Bill Mosely, and/or Nivek Ogre went to see ''Repo!'' based solely on their favourite actor/singer's appearance therein. Many of them are now devoted fans of the movie.
** Take a look at the musician list, and see members of Bauhaus, [[Korn]], Rasputina, and [[Guns N' Roses]] being credited, then look at the who the music producer is- [[X Japan]]'s bandleader. And then watch "Seventeen"
** There's also Anne Danielewski who people might remember from the 90's as ''[[Poe (band)|Poe]]''.
* [[Les Yay]]: Marni and Blind Mag. Also Amber Sweet and the Genterns in "Zydrate Anatomy".
