FILM 2249: REPO MEN (2010)

TRIVIA: Moments before the filming of the Chinatown scene a crew member was approached by a local Chinese person who pointed out to him that all the neon signs with Chinese characters were upside down. A frantic rigging crew proceeded to flip all the signs while the shooting crew shot in the direction of the newly flipped signs.

Forest Whitaker has been studying Filipino Kali for several years under masters such as Dan Inosanto and Richard Bustillo. He utilizes his skills in several fight scenes in the film.

Note that Jude Law's character does not have a name (a similar situation in the book). The mystery effect was somewhat ruined when marketing inserted a name for him in the film's first trailer.

The young Remy (Jude Law) seen during the school yard fight was played by Jude Law's actual son, Raff Law.

The film takes place in 2025.

Leonardo DiCaprio was set to star but dropped out.
