Operation Repo: The Movie

I mean what can you say about a movie that went out and hired Joey Buttafuoco? That screams quality. Putting aside he colorful past, the man isn't even an actor. The only time you hire someone to act in something who isn't an actor would be if they were family, and that's an even scarier thought than the big blonde's drawn-on eyebrows. I am in the repossession business, not the actual hooking of the cars, I am a skip tracer, an investigator who finds the debtors and where they are hiding the vehicles. This show gives everyone in the business a bad name. I don't know of anyone in this profession that has hired these people to repossess anything. More times than not, we have to correct debtors who are worried about this company coming to repossess their property. If you want to see honest footage of a company that is a hardworking group of people watch Jam Recovery on the National Geographic channel when they air their documentary about the repossession business.

All I can say about this show is the goofy guy with the dumb mustache is a jerk. He walks right up to some place where they are repossessing a bike and just takes it. Doesn't say anything about who they are or shows any documentation. The guy probably thinks he's getting robbed and resists...So the stupid mustache guy starts using force and threatening mace. What an jerk. I would never watch this show again unless I hear of him getting his ass kicked. He sits there and talks about of tough he is. I guess when you go around picking fights with people your whole life you can't deny your a jerk. This show is horrible, and I don't recommend it. Actually I recommend it to be kicked off the the air.

I don't like to make light of anyone's misfortunes, but the series for this movie was hilarious! I work in the auto finance business and have interacted with many people trying to avoid repossessions by any means necessary. To avoid ugly scenes as depicted in the show, customers should be pro-active and contact the lender BEFORE any payment is missed. It's possible the lender may be willing to work out an arrangement or defer the payment, depending on circumstances. Unfortunately, people try to "hide" their vehicles or become combative and confrontational when the repo man shows up. The lender just wants its money, much as any employee expects his/her paycheck after working for 2 weeks. It's not an unreasonable expectation; the desire to be paid goes both ways. No, I don't always take the side of the lender. But it's possible a lot of repos can be avoided if only the registered owner of the vehicle maintains dialogue with the lender and keeps promises to make payments when the schedule has been adjusted to accommodate the customer's financial situation. I hope this series and movie demonstrate how NOT to act in these situations.

I caught a show already in progress. It was the one where they take the old Chevy Tahoe, and the guy starts shooting at them. While the guy is shooting, the "camera crew" in the back doesn't even flinch. I was wondering what was going on (as other scenes had the "staged" look), so I continued watching into the next show (tru was playing several episodes in a row).

There is a disclaimer at the beginning of the show. These are "reenactments". So, in other words, the show is basically a fake.

I'm not even sure they are real repo people, or just actors.

You'll get more realistic entertainment watching WWF.

I binge watched the entire series of operation repo, loved the TV series, the characters and all the mishaps that happened along the way.

Because I binge watch the show I got burnt out, I knew the movie existed but left it for when I felt like watching it again.

I'm not even sure I can push through this.

The quality of this abomination is no where near at the same standard as the TV series.

The camera work is choppy, the acting is atrocious, it's bad, just really really bad.

I honestly don't know how they screwed this up so badly, I'm not even sure if they watched the movie themselves afterwards because if they did they should have trashed it and started again, they need to hang their heads in shame for going ahead and releasing this crime against television.
