Moments to watch:
- A main character in Repo Man was a designer of the neutron bomb: "Ever heard of the neutron bomb? Kills people, leaves buildings standing - so small, it fits in a suitcase, noone knows it's there and then blammo - eyes melt, skin explodes, everybody dies. It's so immoral working on the thing could drive you mad."
- Miller, a mechanic working for the reposession company, refuses to learn to drive. "The more you drive, the less intelligent you are."
- Food and beverages throughout the movie appear in white cans with blue labels reading "food" and so on.
