I love the way Otto flings his bow tie. I also get a kick out of the security guard twirling his gun. This is a very funny movie, especially the first half.
The "Boss" in this scene was Alex Cox's real life boss when he worked as a work study student at the UCLA Film and TV Archive (where he came up with the idea for the movie after his own car was repossessed).
I thought Emilio and Charlie were cousins? It's not important. You're right, Emilio's the "normal" but cooler member of his family. I like him even better than Martin and Apocalypse Now is another favorite movie of mine.
@@Slig1977 yeah. Their father Martin Sheen’s real name is Ramon Estevez, and Charle’s is Carlos Estevez. They have a sister Renee who also acted for a while under her own name, and Martin has a brother who did as well, but he was awful and only appeared in low budget stinkers. His name is Joe, the only person in the family with an English first name by birth.
This jingle had already been abandoned by 7-Up by the time this movie hit video rental stores (I wasn’t lucky enough to see it’s first run), and I’m sure I’d have forgotten it completely if it weren’t for this scene. Thank you, Alex Cox.
I was in high school using one of those price tag guns in a grocery store when this movie came out. We put the increased price labels over the old ones as much as new shelf stock.
It's also hilarious that the guy is singing the "7-UP" jingle while price marking generic food. It's always great to see a foreigner's take on America- Director Alex Cox is British- he also made Sid&Nancy in 1986- the visuals of America are similarly bleak. Emilio's character is pretty much a poster child of those who grew up in the 80's. Note later in the movie his parents are just barely there, sitting around staring glassy-eyed at a televangelist, they're little more than zombies.
@@ColtraneTaylor Otto sees through all the bullshit. He never gets caught up in any big plan, or big idea, or crusade. He ditches the supermarket job, ditches his hoodlum friends, ditches his brain dead parents, ditches his girlfriend, and eventually ditches the car repo scene along with Miller who is also perceptive. I think the point of the movie is that people like Otto, who do the least and say the least, have more brains and integrity than people who get too caught up in stuff.
@@ryanjacobson2508 I think that's mostly a fantasy though about the straight talker maverick type. According to that idea Kanye West is a genius not only in music but in every political analysis he makes. There's a fair bit of truth about such a type but only so much. IRL they're likely to be a mix of maverick and dangerously uninformed. The kind that (rightly) dismisses NYT to then adopt Fox News or worse.
He also made Straight to Hell with Joe Strummer & Courtney Love, who was also in Sid & Nancy as the friend who said, “Sid wouldn’t do this, he was nice!” Incidentally, do you know who produced Repo Man? Mike Nesmith from the Monkees.
Marcus Martinez Way way back in the 70s & 80s generic food was labeled in only black and white. Even beer was labeled BEER. It was cheap & tasty. AH, those were the days....
Yeah those generic products came out, people thought it was a way to force feed lousy food and they would just buy it. Then this movie came out making fun of it, the generic food went away : )
I worked a shitty telemarketing scam job once in college. This lady I called swore at me for a couple of minutes. I asked her if she was done, and then I snarled FUCK YOU and hung up. She called the manager to complain. He asked me what I said and I responded FUCK YOU and FUCK YOU! Best quitting moment of my life!
Luis the security guard looks like he just got out of prison. I thought it was so funny the way he whips out the gun when Otto throws Kevin into the generic canned "yellow cling sliced peaches" 😆
security guards shown to be always doing their job: over the loud speaker: 'security, security, disturbance in aisle 3' @ 0:49 countless subtleties in this movie make it a Classic!
Totally what the business owners are doing to us today, we are getting that 7UP feeling right up our ass, and if you don't like it go find a better job. Repo rules.
Fun fact: The movie later reveals that Kevin is actually the son of Mr. Humphries (the boss). LOL. You have to pay attention though. If you blink, you'll miss it.
What little I saw of him was unpleasant. He seemed to fire people just before they were eligible for benefits, or fire them for some cause that would leave them ineligible for Unemployment insurance.
The actor's back was sore for a while. The actor also got a face infection after laying in the LA River to help film a scene. Funny thing is that the actor liked working on the movie so much that he didn't mind suffering for it.
one of the best movies ever made.
I’ve seen it more than Star Wars
This movie was trip on shrooms
"fuck you".. thats the moment I relaxed and settled into my chair, becasue I knew it was going to be a great movie..
Hahaha, that's the moment it got me too, as well as the "excuse me while I fold my pants" line. These lines just worked way too well.
Makes me want to abandon my plans to read a nonfiction history book tonight, and rewatch this timeless classic.
I hope you watched it.
I love the way Otto flings his bow tie. I also get a kick out of the security guard twirling his gun. This is a very funny movie, especially the first half.
a movie to live your life by.
Plate of shrimp.
The repo code
Always intense
Don't drive.
"eey.. he's talking to YOU!!!" xP
The "Boss" in this scene was Alex Cox's real life boss when he worked as a work study student at the UCLA Film and TV Archive (where he came up with the idea for the movie after his own car was repossessed).
Emilio is twice the actor of Charlie. And 10 times more of a badass. Let's see Charlie coach a team of ragamuffin hockey players
funny thing is emilio is not at all like otto. his brother is more like otto. then him.
I thought Emilio and Charlie were cousins? It's not important. You're right, Emilio's the "normal" but cooler member of his family. I like him even better than Martin and Apocalypse Now is another favorite movie of mine.
@@Slig1977 they are brothers.

Emilio delivers the best "FUCK YOU" in movie history.
romper stomper... oh wait that's OFF not you.
"Why so tense guy?"
I love how the guy chuckles so pleasantly at 1:04 then he gets shoved down twice
"Two hemispheres are fundamentally at odds"
"The bombs were going to hide in the locomotive sheds. That way the red team would never know exactly where they were."
Yeah.. it's about that time of the week to watch Repo Man again.
I love that he fires Kevin also.
There's fucking room to move as a fry cook. I could be manager in two years! King! God!
great camerawork in this scene

The glorious "old days" when you could slyly remove the higher price sticker and reveal the lower price sticker for the cashier!
Plate of shrimp.

Yeah. You pretty much summed up my childhood.
Why did a British director create a stereo typically corny brat character like Otto I wonder. He's almost a purely obnoxious spoilt 'rebel' type.

"Heyyy... he's TALKIN' to youuu!"
Holy shit Nepoleon Dynamite before there was one lol
and the security guard is snoop lol
that is not a coincidence. ND was based on the edited-for-TV version of Kevin. find a clip of it and you'll hear plenty of 'flippin'" and "sweet."
+Joseph Kyle You are correct, sir!
My friend Marco and I watched this classic movie in the Summer of 1987. It`s a fantastic film with an awesome soundtrack as well.
I love that every product in this movie is labeled in the same typeface and style, like it's fucking hilarious to me.
Marcus Martinez Way way back in the 70s & 80s generic food was labeled in only black and white. Even beer was labeled BEER. It was cheap & tasty. AH, those were the days....
Marcus Martinez Oddly enough, that was the only enjoyable part in "The Host"...
Jack Scratch the generic aisle, that was great, yeah I was a facer in '80s.
Now we have Compliments products...
Yeah those generic products came out, people thought it was a way to force feed lousy food and they would just buy it. Then this movie came out making fun of it, the generic food went away : )
Mind bending flick. I have seen this movie mayB two or three times, and many many years ago. Brilliant, yes??? One of a kind
ALL I WANTED WAS A PEPSI
But they wouldn’t give it to me!!!!
FEELIN LIKE A 7, FEELIN LIKE A 7! I love this movie! I swear Kevin is a 1980's Neoploean Dynamite
Feeling lucky 7, feeling 7-11.
@Cassavius that's actually Zander Schloss, he played bass for the Circle Jerks
This scene makes me laugh every time, I see it. I guess, I'm feeling 7-up!
Feelin' 7-up, I'm feeling 7-up......
No Shirt, No Shoes, No Dice
I love Kevin so much.
Emilio Estevez is talented actor.
I worked a shitty telemarketing scam job once in college. This lady I called swore at me for a couple of minutes. I asked her if she was done, and then I snarled FUCK YOU and hung up. She called the manager to complain. He asked me what I said and I responded FUCK YOU and FUCK YOU! Best quitting moment of my life!
The greatest F-you in cinematic history.
Luis the security guard looks like he just got out of prison. I thought it was so funny the way he whips out the gun when Otto throws Kevin into the generic canned "yellow cling sliced peaches"
😆
security guards shown to be always doing their job:
over the loud speaker: 'security, security, disturbance in aisle 3' @ 0:49
countless subtleties in this movie make it a Classic!
"many young men of your age in these uncertain times.....otto, are you paying attention?"
just read A&P, cant help but think of this scene
Totally what the business owners are doing to us today, we are getting that 7UP feeling right up our ass, and if you don't like it go find a better job. Repo rules.
He didn't give Mr. Humphreys enough attention. He will later.
hahahahaha fuck yeah. Punk attitude right there
Love how everything is "Generic" in the movie!
Tins of 'food' 😁
I LOVE THIS SCENE
0:35 LOLOLOL the cripped out security guard
"I say we stomp him, then we tattoo him, then we hang him, and then we kill him!"
emilio was so attractive in this film. well, rather his character. he's good at playing these types. :]
On some DVD commentary, I think Zander Schloss said he really fucked up his back in this scene...
brilliant movie.....
Awesome movie.
Perfect movie.. script.. acting .. writing.. direction.. cinematography.. soundtrack
I didn't knew Napoleon Dynamite was also moonlighting in Repo Man!
7 up comes up again later in the film.
Fun fact: The movie later reveals that Kevin is actually the son of Mr. Humphries (the boss). LOL. You have to pay attention though. If you blink, you'll miss it.
Sublime.
feeelin 7up, im feelin 7up. feeelin 7up im feelin 7up. its a cool refreshin feelin crystal cool and lite.....
Well that escalated quickly.

So great. Lol
Why so tense, guy?
00:48 in these uncertain times

This is best scene imho
@WingDiamond when Otto is eating at his parents the can just says "food"
@pjbrubak
the cinematographer went on to do To Live and Die in LA.. hes one of the best
"why so tense GUY"
lol
At 0:36: is the supermarket manager one of the guys in the Progressive insurance commercials? Cheers!
“I wasn’t singing guy”
He was sentenced to eight years, but got out after two since he paid a massive fine and also paid back some of the people he screwed.
Napoleon Dynamite
1:00 I demand 10 hours version of this!
Lol as an American teen in the 90s oh shit I been there
Wow. Talk about justice. :-) How much time did he get?
Emiliooooooo!
It's Napoleon Dynamite!
Heeeeeeyyyyy hes talking to you!
I suddenly have the urge to buy a case of 7up...
Let’s do some crimes ….
@gombie youtube doesn't allow link to pages so you had to add 3 W to my link...
I discovered that Ralph's, in the eighties, used the same packaging.
@Lamareaton agreed! :D
Otto? Are you paying attention to me?
Why so tense guy.... early Napoleon Dynamite!
Cameo Snoop Dog w revolver. Kevin stop singing.
OP napoleon dynamite
I got one even better. The boss who fired me from the shittiest job I ever had was arrested for fraud.
WHAT A GREAT WAY TO QUIT A FUCKED UP JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!
Omg you listen to 99pi?
Ralph's.
What little I saw of him was unpleasant. He seemed to fire people just before they were eligible for benefits, or fire them for some cause that would leave them ineligible for Unemployment insurance.
Does that security guard get blown away by Otto's pals later in the film? It's been a while.
yes
United Friitcake Outlet Ha Ha Ha!
I'm telling my kids this was eminem
the goober with the curly hair? yeah thats why he shaved it.
@gombie I'll try to send you a mail!
CRUCIAL VIEWING
Poor Kevin, that must of fucking hurt falling on his back on those cans!!
The actor's back was sore for a while. The actor also got a face infection after laying in the LA River to help film a scene. Funny thing is that the actor liked working on the movie so much that he didn't mind suffering for it.
And also the cart afterward when Louie threw him out.
I said that after the graduation in front of school and showed middle finger, or, as we call it in Russia, "fuck".
i HATE my fucking grocery store job
All the generic items !!
2021. Nobody wants to work shitty jobs. They're missing out ability to get fired in a big way.
