    Storyline

    Edit
    In the year 2056 - the not so distant future - an epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet. Out of the tragedy, a savior emerges: GeneCo, a biotech company that offers organ transplants, for a price. Those who miss their payments are scheduled for repossession and hunted by villainous Repo Men. In a world where surgery addicts are hooked on painkilling drugs and murder is sanctioned by law, a sheltered young girl searches for the cure to her own rare disease as well as information about her family's mysterious history. After being sucked into the haunting world of GeneCo, she is unable to turn back, as all of her questions will be answered at the wildly anticipated spectacular event: The Genetic Opera. —Lionsgate

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The producers have stated that this film is really just the middle part of a planned trilogy. The next chapter would be a prequel to the events shown in this film and is tentatively titled "Repo!: The Beginning". No time frame has been given for when production could start on the next movie.
    • Goofs
      In the picture which shows Pavi skinning the woman's face, Ogre's real face is shown, instead of Pavi's scarred face.
    • Quotes

      Shilo Wallace: [Graverobber whistles Blind Mag's song] Hey! That's Blind Mag's song.

      Amber Sweet: Who did that?

      [Graverobber points to Shilo]

      Amber Sweet: [to Shilo] So you think you got heart? So you think you got balls? So you think Mag can sing?

      Shilo Wallace: I don't think nothin' at all!

      Amber Sweet: So you think Mag has pipes? Well it's my time to shine! When the Repo-Man strikes!

      Shilo Wallace: What are you talking about?

    • Alternate versions
      In the original script the film began with the character Shilo Wallace going down to her mother's tomb and the first song was 21st Century Cure. The creators thought that how the movie started was too slow so they decided to take the song 'Genetic Repoman' that was suppose to play at the end of the film and put it at the very beginning. Then they cut the scene Thing's You See in a Graveyard into two separate parts and played part 1 after Genetic Repoman. This gave the film more of a bigger and dramatic opening.

    To the person talking about BIOSHOCK
    Seriously your argument is flawed, which made me sign up just so I could challenge you.

    1/10 seriously? Maybe this movie is not for everyone but a 1?

    I am a fan of the movie - and have seen the director and writer talk at numerous events.

    This script has been around for over 10 years. It has been a stage show; and before that it was a 2 man musical.

    My point is, this 'thing', REPO has been around in some form of another since 1996.

    If you did some searching, BIOSHOCK, which I have played, and love, was brought into the market in 2007.

    While Repo was already in PRE-PRODUCTION which means already past script stage, and already green-lit by a studio.

    And to end your argument, you say the creators STOLE the idea from BIOSHOCK? Are you really one to talk? I see you're from Turkey, and voting on REPO. Has the film been released in TURKEY? Or did you just download the movie illegally?

    Get your facts straight before spewing your ignorance.
