„Mr. Cox […] is a movie maker of wit and vision. Repo Man is full of throwaway sight gags […] It's not a big- budget, Ghostbusters of a movie, but it's very entertaining, and though it's rude in an R-rated way, it has the good taste never to promise more than it can deliver.“ – Besprechung von Vincent Canby in der New York Times vom 6. Juli 1984.
„This is the kind of movie that baffles Hollywood, because it isn't made from any known formula and doesn't follow the rules. […] "Repo Man" comes out of left field, has no big stars, didn't cost much, takes chances, dares to be unconventional, is funny, and works. There is a lesson here.“ – Rezension von Roger Ebert in der Chicago Sun-Times, abgerufen am 28. Juni 2012.
