the soundtrack to this film is unmistakeably eighties punk.
Black Flag and the Circle Jerks; others. worth looking into. Otto and Bud in car in alley
[Bud snorting a line: Jesus Christ.] Bud: Never broke into a car. Never hot-wired a car. Kid. I never broke into a trunk. I shall not cause harm to any vehicle nor the personal contents thereof. Nor through inaction let that vehicle or the personal contents thereof come to harm. That's what I call the repo code kid. Don't forget it, etch it in your brain. Not many people got a code to live by anymore. "The life of a repo man is always intense."
