BACKFIRE Harry Dean Stanton brings the heat

Repo Man

Beer-swigging suburban punks and blue-collar repo men collide as they track down a 1964 Chevy Malibu -- which, by the way, just might be from outer space. Exec-produced by an ex-Monkee (Michael Nesmith) and directed by a onetime Oxford law student, ''Repo Man'' was destined for weirdness. But the movie found its audience in rebellious high schoolers and alienated Reagan-era hipsters, who grooved to its surf-punk soundtrack and memorized its riffs on society, space aliens, and, of course, shrimp.
