Compared to normal 'Repo Man'


I have only watched "Repo! The Genetic Opera", but for people who have actually seen normal "Repo Man" as well, could you tell me some of the differences between the two (besides just the obvious differences)? Also, which one would you think is grosser? Because I was thinking about watching "Repo Man", and if I could handle "Repo! The Genetic Opera", would I be good to watch it? Thanks!

I suppose you mean "Repo Men" with Jude Law and Forrest Whitaker and not "Repo Man" from 1988 with Emilio Estevez?
I haven't seen "Repo Men", but the plot seems quite different. In "Repo Men" the main character is trying to escape the system that he once served. The central plot of "Repo!" is about love and revenge.

Yeah sorry for the confusion, I did in fact mean "Repo Men". I am really into this whole "repo" idea, so I am trying to see all of the movies, even the one from 1988. I know there's a book too, but are there any other repo esque movies?

Well, I think that Repo Men got the most gross scenes, especially in the end. And yes, the plot revolves around the repo men, and not so much the society that it has created. Both are very good film, with different themes and perspectives in the same topic. You can say its two sides of the same movie.

TL;DR its different, but good. Watch it.
