Yes, i am a repo-opera fan, but I'm not going to rant about that like some people.
I am curious about something: was the book based on the movie? Because I've been told that its the other way around, but the book came out last year. So now I'm lost @_@

Repo! The Genetic Opera was one of the most boring movies I have ever sat through..... hopefully REPOSSESSION MAMBO isn't anything like it, and can actually hold my attention rather than wondering what my time could have been better used for.
Well you certainly sound level-headed and intelligent....... thanks for the reply. I can't really argue with a person who has bad taste, so I won't. To tell you the truth I'd forgotten all about Repossession Mambo until you just had to thrust it back into my attention. Thanks.... you're now free to continue being a douche-bag.
REPO! was based on a 10 min opera by the same writer called "The Neco-merchants debt" where a grave robber falls in debt over a heart transplant and trys to out run a Repoman.
Necromerchants Debt was inspired in 1998, according to an interview given by the authors of Repo!. Notice I'm not claiming Repo! is a ripoff, but they were independently inspired works of fiction developed in different ways that ended up (somehow) shooting at neighboring soundstages.
Eric Garcia wrote the short story in 1997 which the film and novel are based off of. The storylines for REPO! and R.M. are completely different: Dad's a Repo monster vs the repo man missed a payment on his own heart and is on the run. REPO! is a rock opera, but R.M. is a noir thriller.
I'm a Repo opera fan but i am curious. i've try to look for proof of this and have been unsuccessful. do you have a link that can remove all doubt that this was a short story first?
Terrance Zdunich interview: "Repo's Graverobber talks to io9" Relevant excerpt:
"Darren Smith and I began writing what we call ten-minute operas, and they were ten-minute stories put to music that we would do just as a duo in clubs and coffee shops in L.A. That was in 1999, 2000. And one of those short stories, ultimately, is what grew into Repo! The Genetic Opera. It was called The Necromerchant's Debt..."
"At the time, Darren Smith also had a friend who was going through a bankruptcy..."
Proof that Eric Garcia started writing his short story in 1997, and not after attending or hearing about Repo! ? At the moment, we only have his essay in the back of his book.
If legal proceedings on plagarism start, I'm sure the court will get a lot more evidence, but I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have made such a claim if he couldn't back it up; authors are usually good about tracking their own copyrights.
See my other comment for when Repo! was originated in 1999 or 2000.
I'm still going to see this, but it ABSOLUTELY ripped off repo... They were filmed in sound stages adjacent to each other, and Mambo sent over people to see what Repo was doing during filming....
Okay, No... i can let you state your opinion about you not liking it, but to put something down into the ground by saying something suck as "UNWATCHABLE" that made me upset. I think repo was something AWESOME to look at, it is something other than your day to day trashy horror movies... REPO was a stage play all the way from 2002... so if you like this movie, I'm just letting you know, they got the idea from repo.... so....
I was just simply stating that REPO was a good movie, and this movie DID rip off REPO because how many other movies are like REPO? NONE, other than this, because this was a stage show in 2002... and these guys ripped it off... say whatever you want back to me to defend yourself, but i already have the truth in my mind...
I'm going to go ahead and say; I don't care if you didn't like Repo. It's understandable; it wasn't a movie designed to appeal to everyone.
But, 'Repossession Mambo' IS a blatant rip-off of Repo!, and no amount of your bitching, or... rather unlogical similes, is going to make the Repo! fans 'get over it'.
@WhatIAm99 your a fucking idiot i hate people like you. if you have ever seen the movie jay and silent bob strike back you see the trolls talking shit online boycott the movie and watch them get there ass kicked cause there some lil nerd thats a virgin who will never laid.
I gave this a tumbs-up just because that Touareg is awesome.

I hated "Repo!"... I'm looking forward to This one.
And for the record.... saying that this is a rip off of "repo!" is like saying that any movie with a knife is a rip off of Halloween. Get over it.

Agreed! Repo! was complete trash. Virtually unwatchable. This one is coming from Eric Garcia... so it might actually be watchable.
