I Love Terrance :)
I hate Repo Men (Reposession Mambo) for stealing this idea. It's THEFT and theives should NOT be tolerated. R!TGO Has been around for 10 years, and is still strong, then 'Repo Man' happens? Come on. This is blatant theivery, no question.

By giving this Repo-copycat a chance all you're doing is rewarding their theft of R:TGO's incredible story. If anything pirate it illegally.
Repo! The Genetic Opera FOREVER <3

As soon as I saw the trailer for Repo Men, I was so pissed. This is obvious theft and should not be tolerated. Repo! for life. <3

I laugh so hard at the part about Terrance taking the 10 year old kid... XDXDXD

Dude, I have no idea what Repossession Mambo even is.

Nathan Wallace, reposes Repo! the Genetic Opera's property.

@wtzOlt Actually, R!TGO is not an opera, it's a "rock opera," also known as a musical. Although, plenty of people like operas, too, btw. I'm guessing you do not, but, well, many people do.

I like that anyone is up in arms like its going to change anything.Repo men is purhaps my favorite movie to date, and i would like to point out that this movie is really just the logical following of the idea of mecanical organs in a capitalist culture. In fact i believe there is every possiblity that this will come to be.
On topic, Repo men isnt a musical and the mambo referance is a humanists look at the back and forth of the ethics of the main charector, genetic opera was decent but no match

I just watched Repo Men ondemand Purely out of curiousity, I was sick, and so I could defend R!TGO so I'm gonna say simpily worst 2 hours of my life right up there with watching Avatar in Imax 3D way to close and got the worst headache. Repo men is SO boring I didn't care for any of the characters the plot was dull and there were only like one scenes I laughed at (that being a 9 year being a black market surgen). So yeah don't waste your time with it.

Conversation or violence...hmm sound reasoning XD that's pretty much the way of things.

Personally, legality aside, as a writer, not being able to say "I came up with my own plot/idea" is just embarrassing, I haven't seen Repo Men, so i don't really know if it's a true rip off (sounds that way, and I am inclined to think it is) however, Repo! Opera is much more important to alot more people then Repo Men will ever be

I've never even heard of Reposession Mambo. I guess that answers that question. REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA FOREVER <3<3<3
This comment has received too many negative votes show
Ironically, the titular Mambo has nothing to do with any actual dance or music. It's the metaphoric use of mambo, referring to the runaround repo men get from their "clients", and the dance of death between a repo man delinquent on payment and his own repo man.
Reposession Mambo novel is currently out; you can probably borrow it from your local library. I've read it, and the plot summary of Repo! The Genetic Opera is NOTHING like RM. (I haven't had opportunity to watch R!TGO in my market.)

For you to suggest to me that while you've never seen the Genetic Opera film, I should go on out and read the book is very presumptuous of you. I have read Mambo and seen Opera so I'd know better than you. The idea that the novel's title involves a musical phrase when there is another organ repossession story featuring a musical phrase is hard to buy purely as coincidence. Especially now that they've gone ahead and changed the title for the film to get away from that "coincidence".
