More than a quarter-century after the release of the Emilio Estevez vehicle “Repo Man,” the cult classic’s director, Alex Cox, reprises familiar themes with “Repo Chick.” The Downtown Independent hosts a rooftop premiere party to celebrate the release of Cox’s return to the realm of repo people, this time chronicling the valiant efforts of a spoiled brat turned repo girl named Pixxi de la Chase who stumbles on and must thwart a terrorist plot to destroy downtown Los Angeles.
