Repo Man
A down‑on‑his‑luck punk lands a job as a repo driver and must track down a mysterious 1964 Chevrolet before rival repo crews, the CIA, and extraterrestrials claim it—launching him into a chaotic, otherworldly chase across Los Angeles.
“It’s 4 a.m. Do you know where your car is?”
Synopsis
A young, down-on-his-luck punk takes a job working with an experienced repo man, only to find himself thrust into a series of bizarre and outlandish adventures involving aliens, the CIA, and a highly sought-after 1964 Chevrolet.

The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 84+ credited
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.5× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
