  • Damn ... riding the bus must be the shit.

  • @auroraman56 the weirdness is what I am into right now im talking synchronocity shamanism voodoo pentacles tarot cards

  • @MrCoffeefreak2010 Cool story bro.

  • TAYLOR YARD----------SOUTHERN PACIFIC R.I.P.

  • "You know the way everybody's into weirdness right now?"

    Jesus fuck so funny and perfect

  • This part of this film was my final for my painting class at Art Center and I got the only A + grade for the final in the class that day. There is something about it. I had explained it one time to art student colleague of mine at C.S.S.S.A. in Valencia, California one summer and he ended up basing his thesis on it titled "Collective Connectionism" or "Collective Connectiveism" about the collective unconscious and/or universal thought theories.

  • There's some absolute genius in the dialog of this movie.

  • John Wayne was a fag....

  • "If only there were some way of finding out how much they owe. And then makin' 'em pay." SEEE? Those guys were totally time-traveling -- they're talking about the subprime mortgage crisis.

  • Yeah, you got it, time machines. What a great movie. How many times did I see this flick.

  • @38WishDreamer Nice!

  • I'm watching this in 2053 and there no other fuckers around.

  • Miller was right." The more you drive the less intelligent you are" I have to drive 26 miles to a shitty job that I despise.I'm so fucking stupid by the time I get there I actually go in and work. Serving up plates of shrimp.

  • where are they at in los angeles by the river???

  • The more you drive, the less intelligent you are!

  • That was stupid.

  • More sense then the rest of these scam artists put together....Play it straight!

  • I want to be just like Miller when I'm 85. Hhahahah

  • plate of shrimp

  • That's my life: a lattice of coincidences.

  • Miller for president

  • @KENKENNIFF There is no way he can do worse than the Presidents since 2000.

  • "The more you drive, the less intelligent you are." Which perfectly explains why people eventually succumb to road rage. Yeah, I can get behind that...makes sense to me.

  • Miller was a righteous motherfucker

  • Interesting theories...

  • Tracey Walter (Miller) is a very underrated character actor. The guy always turns in a good performance, even if some of the movies he's in ain't so great themselves (Conan the Destroyer, for example).

  • This scene is fucking classic. "Did you do a lot of acid, Miller? back in the hippie days?" ROFLMAO

  • remember gifting "fallout 1" to one of my only friends in phoenix, meth addict, lived in a shack plopped over a sand floor, smoking with his mother and 13 year old sister, i would go there to hide from my mother. i didn't see him for a long time after that, he would always wear those wolf tshirts with moons on them. hands impacted from doing under the table construction work, fingernails jammed into the bone. later a friend saw him on the street, he jumped into a bush. i never saw him again.

  • Cali was great then, now look at all these fucking mexican scum.

  • @TheThedot Yeah cause there were no Mexicans in California in 1984 right. You're a fucking moron.

  • @TheThedot

    eh, i think there's plenty of smart people in the mexican community, although i did grow up in AZ trying defend from lame gangster cholo types. im like half white half native american, and though the genocide is terrible i wouldn't at all want to go back to blood sacrifice aztec

    war days

  • @oobiedoob

    theres plenty of mexican people who are advancing science and tech as well, plus they do all your work

  • living in this fucked up world, i figure you can either believe in coincidence and have a chance to be 'normal', or don't believe in coincedence and lose your fucking mind. that's it, those are your options.

  • @eleutheromaniac thats one of the best comments Ive heard

  • @eleutheromaniac - lucky you, more people where you are know the universe is interconnected? Of course synchronicity is real. Every little thing is significant. The other day at work I refused to take apart working old Olivetti's as I explained them someone would use that to do something evil elsewhere like scrap a Morris Minor. Then I bought them to avoid being used by the evil that uses coincidences to make everything go wrong, which it can do because not enough people understand this reality.

  • lattice o coincidence...

  • The more you drive the less intelligent you are..

  • Miller would definitely be an interesting neighbor

  • of course, we all know what happened to the people in south america now...

  • @NegFi We new then too. FLYING SAUCERS!

  • This movie was alex jones before there was a alex jones.

  • Plate O Shrimp. Shrimp or Plate! Miller's Philosophy!

  • They are burning clothes that were left in the Repo cars.

  • Why are they just tossing clothes in a fire that is wierdness!

  • Showed Repo Man to my grandmother. She totally dug it.

  • love 

  • Classic moment in film history.

  • Carl Jung.

  • It's the chicken or the egg dilemma. If people from the future are taking people to the past, then where did the people from the future come from?

  • @sasquatch357 - Time doth actually go the opposite way...but ne'r as we see it.

  • I always see christmas trees.

  • the one person who disliked this is the one flying the time machine.

  • There's 70 billion people on the Earth...where are they hiding ???

  • That's actually rooted in fact. As you approach light speed, time warps. If you can somehow break light speed, you can actually travel to the past (or so goes the theory). So, a craft that could haul ass enough for intergalactic travel would, indeed, be a time machine.

  • @Skeezyhouse No you would travel into the future that way. If you break lightspeed, time itself slows down for you while time for everyone else keeps going. When you then slow down from lightspeed you rejoin everyone elses timeline, placing you in the future.

  • @jambi880 Well played, sir (or ma'am). Thanks for getting what I was talking about even if I fucked it all up.

  • @Skeezyhouse I learned it from the master i.e Stephen Hawking

  • @jambi880 everybody gets hung up on the specifics. Miss the big picture.

  • @jambi880 - lightspeed is just - how fast light (photons) travels between two places in space. However if you agree that matter is actually trapped light then travelling faster than it would literally break apart the matter your body and mind are made of. This could then explain how 'past' that things work in quantum jumps (ie distance travel without travelling the distance inbetween, ie time-travel as you take no time between the two points) and consciousness, consciousness being all prevalent.

  • how'd they get there? howthe fuck do i know?!?

  • The whole movie has a hidden message... I think I'm the only one that has actually noticed it. But it's very obvious to someone with a little bit of esoteric knowledge. If somebody else knows what I'm talking about please leave me a comment.

  • @MindEyesOpen i dont understand

  • @MindEyesOpen the message is that the mind in this case the Repo and the soul Miller is breaking out of the system of conformity in the mind of big brother and the cars represents the container of the soul in which you open the time with the glove conpartment and in there you find a "used" carrot, you sniff it and it smells good doesn't it? and you pull down your pants and jump on it and up you go into the massive explosion of space with a wicked smile on yer face of relief and gladness.

  • da fuck is theym burning

  • The "shrimp" philosophy is true. It's referring to the law of attraction. If you think about something enough and will it to you then you will receive it. Directly or indirectly it will manifest somehow in you're life. Our minds are the ultimate tool. Turn off you're TV for once in you're life and open you're minds.

  • @tinternetman21 Man, that's a bunch of new age gobbeldygook and has about as much basis in reality as ancient roman gods.

  • One Day my wife called me up from work, she was going on and on about something that didn't make sense, so I waited until she was done, said goodbye and hung up... Redialled and said

    "Shrimp, plate of shrimp... confused? Good" *click*

    She called back 15 minutes later still laughing ;)

  • @ScooterandSparky That's hilarious! My friends and I still use this phrase. I wonder what people who don't know it must think we're saying!

  • I know it's "'i' before 'e' except after 'c' but not in the case of 'weird'. That's why it's weird.

  • monologo de aquellos...

  • Comment removed

  • taking into account the shit that is surfacing now in 2010 about time, space ufos and the whole shebang.. this guy knew everything... creepy..

  • Its truly "plate of shrimp" that the only known occasion an extra terrestrial body struck a car, the "Peeksgill Meteorite" hit a parked Chevy Malibu, slamming through the trunk. And that was long after this film was made.

  • This is one of my favorite scenes in any movie.

    The Miller character basically explains his entire philosophy of life with this scene but it doesn't come off as preachy or that he's ranting because Otto doesn't even care and is barely listening. The monologue is so beautifully written. It's such a perfect Los Angeles character.

  • @blue32ism

    Man, you're so right.

  • Comment removed

  • Emilio is a way way better actor than Charlie-but Charlie's the huge star-go figger-plus, he had paula Abdul back in her prime when she was the sexiest woman on the planet

  • ok I saw this when I was a kid, and hated it. After seeing this clip, I realize just how stupid kids are. Or, just how stupid of a kid I was, anyway.

  • amazing!

    "the more you drive; the less intelligent you are".

    genius.

  • You guys need to think about a plate of shrimp.

    No point lookin' for one either....

  • Damnit now I want shrimp...and I hate shrimp.

  • I just got through watching Philadelphia. Which is probably the biggest piece of crap overrated trash ever made. So i promptly got on youtube and looked up Repo Man to see what a good movie is supposed to be like. What a breath of fresh air.

  • Of course, later in the film as the Brothers are standing outside the diner at the phone booth after Duke and the gang steal the car, the sign in the window reads, "Plate O Shrimp"

  • @hogcontroller That kind of thing actually happened to me. Just a month or so after I'd seen this film I'd just arrived home for the holidays. I started telling my father about this big synchronistic thing that happened on the way, which he didn't understand at all. So he hands me a plate of shrimp - literally! He didn't say there was some in the refrigerator why don't I have some, and no one else was eating. I freaked! In my defense, I was only 18. But, 26 years later it's still weird.

  • On the cover of Dioretix is that a picture of the aliens? The aliens that Otto thinks look like shrimp. It all begins to make sense now.

  • "the more you drive the less inteligent you are"......I kinda agree with that statement......

  • If you've never actually lived in LA this clip sums up a fair bit of the experience.

    Oh, and the movie is one of the greats.

  • Absolutely...RM has mid-80s socal NAILED. So does Anchorman for late 70s. Another reason I was hooked on RM: I have a burn-out uncle that IS Miller & parents who made me put up w/ their watching stupid televangelist crap and never cooked anything worth a damn...."put it on a plate, son"..no better than the Army crap I just ate outside HQs tent here in Haiti.

  • I remember listening to Alex Cox talk about his movie and this scene in particular. According to him this scene was written up as an audition piece for the actors trying out for Miller and there was never any intent to include it in the film; however , he was so impressed with Tracy Walters' reading that he decided to write it in. Tracey Walters is the king of the character actors!

  • yeah, it is called DIORETIX

  • One of the best movies of the 80s

  • wtf

  • Always loved this movie. Underrated.

  • One of my all-time favorite movies, an absolute classic.

    By the way, Miller is spot-on!

  • flying saucers...which are really ....yeah you got it...TIME MACHINES!

  • I had a hankering for shrimp just before I ran across this vid.

  • This guy is a fucking genius!

  • Don't ask me why, but I suddenly have a hankering for shrimp.

  • heh love this movie.

    I read this monologue in my voice and diction class in college, got an A.

    :)

  • found it in a Mazarati, know what i mean

  • Emelio's best role to date ... btw what are they burning? , LOL, at one point Otto throws a sombrero in there, LOL ...  I wish someone had the grocery store scene when Kevin is singing the 7-up jingle, and then later Otto pushes him into the cans as he quits, hilarious scene among many in this classic

  • Kevin is hilarious

    way to get fired in a BIG way Otto!

    wahhh????

    (gets pushed into the cans)

  • I always assumed it was personal stuff they'd find in the repossessed cars.

  • dioretix, LOL

  • Obama's president! Now I understand. Plate of Shrimp...or Flying Saucers.

  • The Mayans invented television....

  • Classic.

  • john wayne was a fag you boys. we installed two way mirrors in his pad in brentwood. he used to come to the door in a dress.

  • THE HELL HE WAS!

  • I still use the term plate of shimp to this day.

    I have my own meaning of it, i'd like to know if others think of it the same as i do.

  • Comment removed

  • @Trikkerman3 My friends and I still use it.  What is your meaning? For us it's about synchronicity.

  • The more you drive....

  • John Wayne was a fag, though.

  • This movie is ok. It's not rofl funny. It's fun to watch at least once or twice. I guess alotta hardcore punks love it because it caters to them & that whole scene(with the soundtrack & the Circle Jerks cameo). I don't know man. I just don't know.

  • Comment removed

  • John Wayne was a fag.

  • john wayne got laid more than any other person on the planet. its true, look it up.

  • yea and they were all guys

  • I think at the end of the movie they go back in time.

  • "you eat alotta acid miller? back in the hippe days?"

    god i love this movie

  • love this scene

  • The Mayans not only invented television. They also invented Daniel Pinchbeck.

  • "Yeah, you got it!"

  • I think this relates to Carl Jung's theory of Synchroncity.

  • The meaning of life

  • He burned a Dioretix book lol

  • Hey! That book will change your life! HAHAHAHAHA!

  • Found it in a Mazuradi in Beverly Hills...know what I mean?

  • Way too cool, this is one of the scenes in "Repo Man" that rules. Miller's explaination of "weirdness" does make sense. "The more you drive, the less intelligent you are",,,lol, for some people I seen around here in my hometown, that is very true, not too many safe drivers here,,lol.

  • You know the way everybody is into weirdness right now?

  • you do a lot of acid miller? back in the hippy days? LOLOL

  • The more you drive.....

  • all part of a cosmic unconciousness

  • it's because they changed something in the matrix.

  • I do my best thinking on the bus.

  • the lattice of coincidence is no joke-happens to me all the time. example:watching old blondie video on-ya you guessed it-youtube and i look at my t.v.-and theres debby harry acting on "tales from the dark side". anybody else?

  • Makes more sense than the average George Bush press conference.

  • I love the circular reasoning of people from the future using flying saucer/time machines to go to the distant, pre-human past in order to beget the species. Just another great and funny idea in a film full of them.

  • "The more you drive, the less intelligent you are."

    That would make the BEST bumper sticker!

  • @mobus1603 Make 'em and send me some. They we can all honk at each other and make some kind of sign when we see one. Rule is, no one can explain it to anyone else, they just have to know.

  • I love the way Otto nonchalantly burns "Dioretix," the sombrero, sheets, whatever.

  • flying saucers actully can be time machines, its the theory of relitivity, Einstein said so.

  • Ain't no difference between a flying saucer and a time machine...

  • Sums it all up. ALL of it.

  • yeah "disappeared" means killed to pave the way for "democracy" in central/south america. ollie north man... this movie is the 80s for what it really was, a shit hole. one of the best of all time!

  • the people in south america were killed.

  • And how the Mayans invented television...

    LMFAO

  • Plate of shrimp.

  • The more you drive...the less intelligent you are.

    Holy crap I think he's on to something!

  • "The more you drive...the less intelligent you are.

    Holy crap I think he's on to something!"

    One word: NASCAR.

    Any questions? ;)

  • ROFLMAO!!!!

  • ricky bobby

  • I love this scene!!

  • fucking interesting theory man.

  • plate

  • miller explains "the secet"

  • How the Mayans invented television...

  • I think he means television as in tele meaning remote like we have in frence tevevision and telecommmande (remote control) tele means remote and vision well means vision.

    The mayans used cristals to catalyse energy and shit, if you can catalyse energy as vision all you need is a receptor to decript it.

  • did you do a lot of acid, in the hippie days?

  • Woah! That Was Intense!...

    Repo Mans Always Intense. Come on, Lets go get a drink!

    Excellent. Fav for sure.

  • You eat a lotta acid, Miller, back in the hippy days?

  • ordinary f)))ing people i hate em

  • wanna get back in the car?

  • Life of the repo man is always intense.

  • This movie, especially this scene and this man, own my heart.

  • who miller? i saw him once at the central park zoo (NYC).

  • Wow, the early '80s, when there actually some white people in LA!

  • you think its bad out there, go to miami, lol.

  • shrimp

  • I could sure go for a Plate of Shrimp about now.

  • This "lattice of coincidence..." Great Flic....generic beer anyone ??

  • Inadvertent genius!
