(1984) Rated: R Run Time: 1 hr 32 min Comedy Alex Cox’s directorial debut was a wickedly funny and willfully bizarre story that became a major cult item once it began making the art-house rounds a year after its release. Having lost his job and his girlfriend, punk rocker Otto (Emilio Estevez) meets a guy named Bud (Harry Dean Stanton) who offers him $25 to drive his wife’s car out of a “bad area.” When a handful of angry people start chasing Otto, he realizes that something is up, and he discovers that Bud repossesses cars for a living. With few immediate prospects, Otto joins Bud at the repo yard and is soon “ripping” cars with the best of them. When an anonymous source posts a $20,000 reward for a missing 1964 Chevy Malibu, it turns out that what’s valuable isn’t the car itself, but what’s in the trunk, which is very hot, glows brightly, and kills anyone who comes in contact with it. Will call tickets may be picked up at The Cary Box Office beginning one hour prior to the movie.
