Repo Chick is a 2009 comedy film and sequel to Repo Man, written and directed by Alex Cox. Like Cox's first feature, it centers on the repossession trade and a mysterious vehicle with a large reward. It is the second of Cox's "microfeatures," produced for a very low budget and given very little theatrical distribution. It was released on DVD in North America and the United Kingdom in February, 2011. Pixxi De La Chasse is a spoiled, self-centered celebutante heiress of a wealthy Los Angeles family. After countless tabloid scandals, her parents disinherit her, and tell her she must find a real... job in order to regain her part of the fortune. When her car is repossessed, a member of her entourage suggests she get a job as a repossessor, a booming industry among widespread credit collapse. She is immediately successful at her new job, to such an extent that the veterans are threatened. Gainfully employed, she tries to reconcile with her family, only to find they have given her part of the inheritance to charity. Out of revenge, she asks co-worker Lola to hack their credit and leave her family destitute and homeless.
