My opinion of "Repossessed" is extremely biased. I appear VERY briefly within the first few minutes of this movie. Linda Blair's young kids are channel-surfing and come across a TV episode of "Brideshead Revisited." I play the soldier coming home from war. Anyone familiar with the British series will remember the scene. Here I return searching for my dear, sweet, loving bride and find her (well, her HEAD, anyway, planted on a table) back home waiting patiently. Hence, "Brides-HEAD Revisited." I know. It's one of many groan-inducing bits you'll find here, popping up everywhere like body-snatching pods.
I remember the whole filming process fondly. This scene ran nearly three minutes when we shot it but when the movie was released, they used only about five seconds of it. I mean, hey, once you get to the punch line, where do you go? Rim shot move on!
An innocuous "Airplane"-like spoof of "The Exorcist" horror classic, a very game Linda Blair went back to her evil ways here as a suburban housewife suddenly repossessed by you know who. The gags come on so fast and furious, there's really no time to look back, which is probably a good thing.
Linda (an extremely kind and gracious lady offstage, by the way), is a good sport here getting slimed and roughed-up throughout the proceedings. She really gets into it and pulls a lot more of this nonsense off than you might think. She is the best thing in the show. Leslie Nielsen and Anthony Starke, spoofing the Max Von Sydow and Jason Miller priestly roles respectively, add to the insanity, which lampoons everybody from Groucho Marx to Michael Jackson, and blasts everybody from Joe Cocker to Ted Kennedy.
Director Bob Logan (a fun, laid-back, sports cap-wearing presence like you might expect in a film of this caliber) also helmed "Meatballs 4" and "Up Your Alley." Check him out.
As for me, I can watch "Repossessed" over and over again. Why? I still get a residual check! Rim shot move on!
