1. And who could forget...
Good evening, Otto. This is Agent Rogersz. I'm going to ask you a few questions. Since time is short and you may lie, I'm going to have to torture you. But I want you to know, it isn't personal.

9. That's Alberto Gonzalez' favorite scene...
Oh, and I love when the scientist guy sings "Clementine"

I need to watch that again. I have a love/hate with that movie. So much good stuff, but some of the low-production-value crap kind of spoils it.

6. "Plate of shrimp"
To this day, my friends and I use the term "plate of shrimp" whenever some weird coincidence pops up.

"I wanna get my wife's car out of this BAD AREA..."

"What about your wife?" "She can take the bus to the hospital... she's a rock." (poorly misquoted, I'm sure.)

"Let's go do some crimes... like order sushi... and NOT PAY!"

"Put it on a plate son, you'll enjoy it more." "Couldn't enjoy it anymore than I am right now, mom."

"John Wayne was a fag..."

and of course

"The life of a Repo Man is always intense."

25. My friends and I say "plate of shrimp" too!
That's a bit of a plate of shrimp itself. Minor, but still.

17. There was a great interview with Harry Dean Stanton in EW
Edited on Wed Jun-21-06 04:40 PM by tonekat
He says people come up to him all the time and "quote at him" from Repo Man.

Entertainment Weekly, that is, not too long ago. Quite a guy, friends with Nicholson, the late Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, Hef, etc.
And still smokes!

26. A friend of mine smoked a little electric lettuce with him a few weeks ago
He was in town making a movie, and he ate the roach and then washed it down with my friend's entire beer.

He's one of my faves, that guy. And a role model! I'll be eating roaches when I'm 82 too.

27. I don't think...
.. anybody could have played that role better than Stanton. And Repo Man is one of my top 3 movies of all time. It is a bit weird in places, and the ending was cocked up with too much editing (there is a better (longer) version out there, but I haven't been able to get ahold of it), but it has more cool dialog than any movie I know of :)

28. Oh and...

Well, some think it's just funny dialog but I agree with it 100% for real :)
