This was my fave back in the day, something about Linda Blair in contacts does something to you, she transforms into another person, she's a trooper to perform in a spoof of her own movie.
The disclaimer bit at the very start is hilarious! 😂 I remember finding Repossessed at a local video rental store back in the day. My best friend and I are fans of spoof movies, especially if Leslie Nielsen is in them, so we rented it. We thought it was comedy genius! Linda Blair gave a brilliant performance!
I met Linda Blair a few years back. She is a friend of someone I know. She is a really nice person, involved in many charities etc. Still to this day though the Exorcist is the scariest movie I have ever ever looked at. Never even got through the whole thing.
I like when Exorcist Style music was playing in the background but it was the priest with a tape recorder which he turns off when he steps into the room.
1 other fact... There is a disclaimer at the start of the movie saying this movie is no way connected in any way to The Exorcist. But, the fact Linda Blair is in both, there's a connection straight away. I own this on DVD, I love it.
I saw the Exorcist a year or so before this and the Exorcist scared the heck out of me, so this was great therapy for me. I love this movie so much and laughed really hard.. great love for Leslie and Linda and thank you for the video❤
Me and a friend got stoned and went to see The Exorcist, we were the only two in the theater laughing our butts off, the green pea vomit scene had us rolling. As for repossessed, I found it in a used video store about 10 or so years ago. I love anything with Leslie Nielsen in it, yeah it was a bit cheesy but it's great fun.
As an actor, I can relate with Linda on that cockroach scene. In one zombie movie, I had a scene where I had meal worms in my mouth. And wouldn't you know it, it got cut. In the theater, at the screening, I was so disappointed.
I remember when I saw repossessed on tv as a kid and it always made an impression on me. I nearly forgot about it until a few years ago when I rediscovered it like oh yeah that’s the movie! I definitely think this movie deserves a cult following. It’s another one of Nielsen’s gems that deserves a lot more recognition.
It's not NEARLY as good as the movies it wants to be (Airplane/Naked Gun/even Hot Shots), but it has some funny bits and is far better than the likes of Disaster Movie, Date Movie, etc. 🤷♂👍👍👍
This is a whole lot better than “ Dracula : dead and loving it “ . Plus I’ve always had a thing for Linda Blair . She was super hot in The Exorcist 2 , and that roller disco movie she did .
Surprisingly, I first saw Repossessed before I actually heard of or even saw The Exorcist. I had no idea that Repossessed was parodying what many people consider the scariest movie of all time.
I feel like I'm one of only a few that actually got that Bob Ross reference. He used to say "beat the devil out of it" when cleaning his brushes for everyone else.
I remember when Comedy Central used to run this all the time, I loved this movie, and yes, I had forgotten it. It may be sitting in my Amazon cart for when I get paid next Friday
This is one of the best videos you've done!!! You had me laughing all the way through!! Very well written! I saw this movie when it was released to cable. I absolutely loved it. I'm a big fan of spoof movies and the writers spoofed a LOT of what was popular in the 80s. I'm going to have to watch it again. Thanks again for the great video!! I really enjoyed it! I really like all of your videos. Thanks!
Commercials are still run, mainly with Super Bowl winners having them say that they’re either going to Disneyland or Walt Disney World. That’s still a pop culture thing.
i loved this movie. it use to be on cinemax all the time back around 20 years ago. i use to love it when leslie neilson's priest character's heart monitor would beep around hot women & he would try to hide it. i also like the lines "father mayii" & leslie would respond with "yes you may"
A girl I was taking out for the first time (now wife) came over to my house and saw a VHS copy of this movie on my shelf with all my DVDs and could not believe someone other than her had seen this movie. 20 years later we still joke about Repossessed bringing us together
My wife had never seen The Exorcist, so we had gone to go see the theatrical release of "The Version You've Never Seen". Because she'd gotten really troubled by the movie, I went out and rented Repossessed after that to lighten the mood.
I absolutely ADORE this movie!!! I used to rent it and now I OWN IT! Its on the reverse side of the vampire comedy you showed called 'My best Friend is a Vampire'. I used to rent that too. Minty, do that movie soon. The teens parents thought he was Gay and not a vampire. Hillarious.
I love this movie just because it's like you said " cheesy funny". Also, a mention that Robert Fuller was in it too as Dr Hacket, a spoof in itself which he played Dr Bracket in tv sitcom "Emergency" in the 1970's.
Yes this is Definitely a good spoof movie. Who'd Ever think that they would spoof a big time Horror movie!! Also has some good music in the film!! Leslie Nielsen will Be Missed!! Great job Mr. Minty!! 👏
I missed this movie like a lot of those that came out when I was in the Gulf War and just never knew it was a a thing, I'm now planning on buying and watching the Exorcist movies and this one to round them off, thanks Minty!
Loved this, watched it a lot as a kid, recently showed it to a friend who had never seen it. The Silence of the Hams is also pretty good, one that not a lot of people know about these days.
I don't wanna be repossessed!!! I love & own this movie!!! I don't remember the ads for it, though. I only found out about it, when i was researching old horror flicks, from the '80s & '90s, some years back. That being said, this is criminally underrated, in my opinion!! Certainly far far better than any of the more recent "parody" flicks, that were trying too hard to be funny!!
I absolutely love this movie! A funny thing is, just before I watched this video, I watched an episode of Creepshow S2E1 called Public Television Of The Dead. It's basically Bob Ross vs. Evil Dead.😂😂😂
I really like this movie. When it 1st came out it only had limited release & I never heard of it. It wasn't until years later that I heard of it from a friend. I got to see it shortly thereafter & enjoyed it. Yes, some things are a little dated, like the Jim & Tammy Faye spoof as well as the nuns as the dancers in Robert Palmer's video, but it is still funny. Speaking of spoofs, another favorite of mine from 1994 is The Silence of the Hams (Italian: Il Silenzio dei Prosciutti). It starred Dom DeLuise as Dr. Animal Cannibal Pizza. Unfortunately, it isn't available in the US on DVD.
One I want to get hold of is BULLSHOT... A Parody of the old Written Stories of the Adventures of "Bulldog" Drummond ... Its brilliant in it's simplicity with "Bullshot" Crummond being a totally Inept but somehow successful World War One Officer... I don't think it was a big hit as it was a very British Comedy...
I've always had a soft spot for this and still revisit it. It was actually released singly prior to the pack you had mentioned, along with those other "Lost Collection" titles which are also great. Slaughter High, Silent Night...you should totally due My Best Friends a Vampire. Great flick AND it's got David Warner in it!
I love Repossessed! It's a highly underrated comedy classic in my book. And considering that the Razzies considered Mommy Dearest the worst movie of all time, I don't hold their opinions in high regard.
Minty, just an FYI- Patrick Mahomes said “I’m going to Disneyland” earlier this year after the super bowl. This tradition started in 1987 and is still going on to this day. 👍🏻
I LOVE this Movie... This was when Parodies were done correctly! Its Brilliant! I did hear that Linda Blair was so happy to do Repossessed as when Exorcist 3 was being cast... They decided she would not be coming back which annoyed her... Apparently, there is an interview with her where she says as such but I have never come across it. The problem with doing a Parody like Repossessed isn't so much Pop Culture references, which do get dated... But sadly, No one has the Guts anymore!!! Its either go to extremes and try to be gross (Epic Movie, Superhero Movie, Meet The Spartans...) or Try and play it safe and create something Boring!!! Really sad as many are now rediscovering Mel Brooks and the AMAZING Blazing Saddles... Including people of colour who are NOT OFFENDED... they think its F**KING HILARIOUS... Which it is! Sadly, people are too sensitive now making Good Parodies a thing of the past!
16:51 "The EXORCIST III: Legion" is criminally underrated. And George C. Scott *DID NOT* deserve the Razzie nomination for Worst Actor! *HE DID NOT!!!* ✊🤜💥
It's rightfully gaining some cult status after 30 years, and so it should. Such a shame the studio interfered, then lost all the deleted footage, thus robbing us of a definitive directors cut.
@mspears_bobobuddytheseniorcat That's because most B movies like this are swept under the rug so to speak not long after they are released and are barly talked about or shown on tv and are forgotten. Amazon Woman Of the Moon was released in 1987 which also has allot of dark humor and classic satire and has an all star cast including a young David Alan Grier, Kelly Preston, Arsenio Hall, Michelle Pfeiffer, Rosana Arquette and Carrie Fisher to name a few. Yet it hasn't been shown on tv in many years!🤗🤔🎬🎥
I'm saying it's a good movie. We rented this from the video store in its day and laughed ourselves silly. Every Leslie Nielsen fan needs to check this one out.
"Young lady, would you please pull down your dress?" is the first and often only scene that comes to mind when thinking of this movie. Still, plenty of good one-liners to be had.
I actually took the Bobby Logan $99 one day film school way back in 2008. A year later I made a feature film. About 5 years later I produced a feature horror comedy that went on to get distribution in about a dozen countries.
'Devil in a blue dress' is still an earworm after 30 years.
It's always literally my 1st Thought when I think of this movie
I know, right?! Thought it was just me, lol.
Exactly
I still sing this 😂😂😂😂 lol that and repossessed
I have a copy of this song on my Walkman.
Minty, you rock! Also: I met Mr. Leslie Nielsen once at a conference, and he couldn't have been nicer. True gentleman and comedy legend.
What year was it?

this movie was so dumb, I couldn't help but laugh at it
With the contacts and makeup, the first thing I thought of was The Incredible Hulk from the late 70s.

My best friend and I are fans of spoof movies, especially if Leslie Nielsen is in them, so we rented it. We thought it was comedy genius! Linda Blair gave a brilliant performance!
I have to check the name on this post and make sure it wasn't one of mine. My experience with it was exactly the same. :)
I love Neilsen and Blair but wasn't moved to see this outing. If it pops up for free I'll probably give it a look
It looks like it's a spoof of Overlord DVD's disclaimer
I will never forget "Reinfeild!! "Yess masster!!

RIP to a Hollywood Legend.
WAIT WHAT? leslie nielson died?
@@Agentsmithwasright Ya, back in 2010. His tombstone has "Let 'er rip!" inscribed on it as one last bit of humor.
I love Leslie. But I think that Mel Brooks might have a better claim to that title.

Just not here.
@@SonnyGTA says you
Im not sure about Always. He was pretty weak in Mel Brooks Dracula movie.
The younger priest is played by Anthony Starke who DID play Truman-Lodge in License To Kill
I saw the Exorcist a year or so before this and the Exorcist scared the heck out of me, so this was great therapy for me. I love this movie so much and laughed really hard.. great love for Leslie and Linda and thank you for the video❤

Bless Linda Blair for all she went through doing the exorcist and doing repossessed
The “she gave me a little head” joke was one of the first times I can remember laughing to the point of hyperventilating.
Minty just wanna say you are the man! Been a fan for many years and I gotta say you are a legitimate UA-cam legend in my opinion
Hey, that's my line...lol... Awww, can't argue with in that tho...😂
100% agree. Been watching Minty since the spring/summer of 2017. He has been a funny ray of light in my UA-cam slviewing, ever-since.
As an actor, I can relate with Linda on that cockroach scene. In one zombie movie, I had a scene where I had meal worms in my mouth. And wouldn't you know it, it got cut. In the theater, at the screening, I was so disappointed.
I'm always up for a good Leslie Nielsen flick!
Also...A+ Bob Ross reference
PURE CLASSIC! LESLIE IS LEGEND❤❤❤
Haven't seen this in ages, need to find it and watch it again this weekend
I remember when I saw repossessed on tv as a kid and it always made an impression on me. I nearly forgot about it until a few years ago when I rediscovered it like oh yeah that’s the movie! I definitely think this movie deserves a cult following. It’s another one of Nielsen’s gems that deserves a lot more recognition.
You could always watch Loaded Weapon, Fatal Instinct, Wrongfully Accused, Plump Fiction, or Silence of the Hams.
I LOVE this movie! "The Devil hates rock and roll!"
You love this movie?!?!?!?!
just watch out for the Cone-a-lingus
It's not NEARLY as good as the movies it wants to be (Airplane/Naked Gun/even Hot Shots), but it has some funny bits and is far better than the likes of Disaster Movie, Date Movie, etc. 🤷♂👍👍👍
The Rocky referance is because one of the priests in The Exorcist was a boxer
This is a whole lot better than “ Dracula : dead and loving it “ . Plus I’ve always had a thing for Linda Blair . She was super hot in The Exorcist 2 , and that roller disco movie she did .

I watched this when I was a kid, and loved it. Found it on DVD, and I watch it often with my wife. It may be cheesy, but it is a great comedy.
I loved this film as a kid, watched it many times over and over again
A rather unhinged approach to your presentation style this time, Minty. I loved it!
Dad got this on VHS when I was a kid. Good times.
I remember when Comedy Central used to run this all the time, I loved this movie, and yes, I had forgotten it. It may be sitting in my Amazon cart for when I get paid next Friday
Classic movie! I sing Devil with The Blue dress and Re-Re-Re- Repossed randomly because of this movie.
Oh. I thought it was just me!
I was never been possessed...but my car did got repossessed, though.
This is one of the best videos you've done!!! You had me laughing all the way through!! Very well written!

Thanks again for the great video!! I really enjoyed it! I really like all of your videos. Thanks!
I watched this with some friends a year or so ago and we loved it, it's totally ridiculous and brilliant
This is one of my favorite spoof movies and I just got that Nancy Reagan joke. I can't believe it flew over my head all this time😅
love it
Commercials are still run, mainly with Super Bowl winners having them say that they’re either going to Disneyland or Walt Disney World. That’s still a pop culture thing.
The Disneyland quote still happens today. Everybody knows the line, "I'm going to Disneyland." Sports stars still say it
In the East Coast of the US where I live the ads say I am going to Disneyworld . They actually film two versions of those ads
I saw this movie, on VHS, ages ago and loved it. Lots of fun.
This was one of my go-to rentals from the video store back in the day.
"The Exorcist III" deserves a video for itself. And while $44 million isn't a lot at the box office, keep in mind that it cost $11 million to make.
Man, I still quote the I'm going to Disneyland line.
This was a fun movie. Great video, Minty!
Loved it. Caught it on one of the cable stations back in the day.

How in all my years have I never even heard of this. Have you covered Wrongfully accused and Dracula Dead and Loving it already?
Not sure about Wrongfully Accused, but he covered Dracula DALI
Love this movie! No one ever talks about it. It's such a fun little gem.
I remember my mom renting this on VHS when I was 7 and I loved it. It was one of the first titles I bought when I started buying digital movies!
A girl I was taking out for the first time (now wife) came over to my house and saw a VHS copy of this movie on my shelf with all my DVDs and could not believe someone other than her had seen this movie. 20 years later we still joke about Repossessed bringing us together
I rented this movie (and Dracula Dead and Loving It) so many times at my grandmas back in the 90's.
I haven't seen this in many years. Used to watch Repossessed all the time as a kid.
I owned this on VHS, and I loved it!
Minty, absolutely loved and appreciated the PG13- related commentary! Great take! Great explaining!
I have completely forgotten about this movie!!! Thanks Minty!!
Linda Blair is so good in this ❤️
I know right; how well she handled comedy, she's a natural.
I loved this movie so much.. mene gene and Jesse Ventura providing dialogue.. "drugs aren't used in wrestling anymore.... Or any less"
My wife had never seen The Exorcist, so we had gone to go see the theatrical release of "The Version You've Never Seen". Because she'd gotten really troubled by the movie, I went out and rented Repossessed after that to lighten the mood.
We all got really troubled by the movie first [and second, third...] time we saw it; tell your wife she is indeed amongst friends.
Safe and neutered. Classic metaphor for what's happening. 😂
Luv this movie!! It's one of my favs to watch when I'm feeling down
I absolutely ADORE this movie!!! I used to rent it and now I OWN IT! Its on the reverse side of the vampire comedy you showed called 'My best Friend is a Vampire'. I used to rent that too. Minty, do that movie soon. The teens parents thought he was Gay and not a vampire. Hillarious.
I watched this in the theater as a kid. It stuck with me forever. “Bye, Fufu!”

Leslie Nielsen is my favorite. I love anything he’s in even when the film isn’t that good. This one however I do love quite a bit.
Yes this is Definitely a good spoof movie. Who'd Ever think that they would spoof a big time Horror movie!! Also has some good music in the film!! Leslie Nielsen will Be Missed!!

Love this movie, such a nostalgia trip. It got played constantly on Mexican TV, so a lot of people my age should know of it.
This has to be my favourite UA-cam channel. Keep up the great work Minty.
The musical numbers killed me in this movie. 😂Re-re-re-re-repossessed
I really miss Leslie Nielsen.
I absolutely love this movie!
A funny thing is, just before I watched this video, I watched an episode of Creepshow S2E1 called Public Television Of The Dead. It's basically Bob Ross vs. Evil Dead.😂😂😂
I thought about this movie recently. With the new Exorcist movies coming out and Linda Blair returning, it's an appropriate film to revisit.
I really like this movie. When it 1st came out it only had limited release & I never heard of it. It wasn't until years later that I heard of it from a friend. I got to see it shortly thereafter & enjoyed it. Yes, some things are a little dated, like the Jim & Tammy Faye spoof as well as the nuns as the dancers in Robert Palmer's video, but it is still funny.

Its brilliant in it's simplicity with "Bullshot" Crummond being a totally Inept but somehow successful World War One Officer... I don't think it was a big hit as it was a very British Comedy...
We need a review of Disorderlies!
I've always had a soft spot for this and still revisit it. It was actually released singly prior to the pack you had mentioned, along with those other "Lost Collection" titles which are also great. Slaughter High, Silent Night...you should totally due My Best Friends a Vampire. Great flick AND it's got David Warner in it!
and René Auberjonois in another Vampire Role though this was before Legacy of Kain.
You should check out Meatballs II some time. It's one of my favorite 80's hidden treasures!
I love Repossessed! It's a highly underrated comedy classic in my book. And considering that the Razzies considered Mommy Dearest the worst movie of all time, I don't hold their opinions in high regard.
it feels nice to know Linda Blair actually had a good time making this movie❤
Your intro knocked it out of the park 💀
Spoofing Reagan had to have been catharic.

My favorite Linda Blair work was her short stint in nude photography. She is a bit blessed.
and god bless the internet for archiving her in her prime.
