The genius of this movie is that both interpretations are correct.
It's 2 movies in one: there is hard, textual support for it all being a dream; there is hard, textual support for Arnold becoming double-agent "Doug" to find and assassinate Cuato. Neither story contradicts the other!
A true sci-fi masterpiece.
It's 100% real with 0% chance of being fake. There is no room for interpretation. There are scenes w/o Quaid where the villains talk with each other. That makes zero since if it's a memory implant made to seem like the real thing. When the Recall guy and Lori show up to his hotel on Mars she claims to be there at Recall hooked in. It's not a virtual world. It's just a memory implant. An implant that isn't 1-to-1 with real world time. She can't be put into his memory like that. Also, if the Recall guy is a figment, why program him to be nervous, fearful and sweat? And when in Recall and having the schizoid embolism, Quaid does not remember this, but the audience does. That makes no sense if it's just an memory implant.
The problem with that textual support is that a Matrix-like dream world and implanting fake memories are not the same thing. Rekall never said anything about sending people to a dream world, only implanting false memories into their minds, memories that are so perfectly detailed that they would think they have been there and done that.
Well, on the DVD commentary I remember that Arnold said he interpreted it as all real.
However, Verhoeven has said that he intended it to be all in his head and he was lobotomised at the end (light and recall music) and left hints throughout such as him picking the exact woman from his dreams before he met her and the “blue skies on mars” comment.
He also left more blatant ones that you are supposed to realise at the end of the movie, such as the recall salesman in the beginning and then commercial guy later saying exactly what would happen if he was shot, scene for scene, for the rest of the movie before being lobotomized.
Verhoeven also said that at each point he tried to leave just enough doubt so that the opposite interpretation was possible but that, yes, ultimately, it was in his head and he was lobotomised.
Even with that said, people still argue over it today, so yes, it was masterfully done. What a great movie - one of my all time favorites.
@@LightStreak567 But no one suggested it was a Matrix-esque artificial world. The two interpretations are he's having a mental breakdown in the chair and it's all in his mind, and the other is that it's all the truth.
@@VonSnootingham The part where they "blew his cover"? They hadn't implanted the fake memories into his mind yet, but he never knew that because they erased his memories of visiting Rekall when they accidentally discovered that someone erased his memories. The "dream" is real, but looking at the whole thing from Quaid's perspective, there is no way he'll ever figure that out.
I love that Eric didnt remember that Ricky and Morty episode until seconds before the Kuato reveal.
South Park did it in the ski episode. The Simpsons did the xray scanner too.
@@johnsmith-nn2hs Oh no... when the boobs said "start the reactor"... so disturbing and funny.
"Blue sky on mars" isn't the only bit of fun foreshadowing in the Recall office. The salesman says "Real vacations are a pain in the butt. Lost luggage, bad weather, and crooked cab drivers." What does Quaid experience on his quest? Having to find the suitcase, lack of atmosphere on Mars, and Benny. They plotted out the movie at the beginning.
EDIT: Oh, Rick mentioned the cab driver comment.
Not to mention the fact that she says “we’re doing Alien artifacts now, dating a million years ago” or something like that, and the key to the air is a million year old Alien artifact.
Philip K. Dick also wrote "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" Which became the movie Blade Runner.
And "A Scanner Darkly" which I enjoy more than "Blade Runner"
and minority report
@@Ahzpayne Scanner darkly is great and super slept on. Awesome cast too
and Screamers, and Next, and The Imposter, and the Adjustment Bureau, and PayCheck... Phillip K Dick has had more movie adaptations made than anyone other than Stephen King
@MisterPunch19 He also wrote The Man in the High Castle. PKD created some mind-bending sci-fi.
This movie has the most hilarious Arnold Schwarzenegger noises ever!🤣🤣
Don't forget his facial expressions.
I'd still go for either Conan the Barbarian or The Running Man for that one.
Calvin: “1990 🤓 ☝🏻”
One of Arnold’s best movies.
So glad you're reacting to this and that Rick is here for it :)
With him discovering he's autistic. He rarely reacts to anything anymore.
@@C2HGamingit’s about anxiety, he’s known he’s autistic for awhile
@meswoopnoseenothing sounds like he's wasting a very good opportunity 🤷♀️ at some point, the internet stops caring. So... continue doing reactions or is his anxiety gonna hold him back?
Melina's old job was modeling for Recall, in the novel.
It makes the dream/not dream so ambiguous and both being viable that there is no right or wrong answer.
Always thought that was a possibility. Guess I need to read the novel.
Was the novel also showing chapters of the villains without Quaid even being present? That alone tells you it's real. There can be no part in a memory implant modeled to be like a real memory where you can ever have scenes taking place outside of the protagonist's POV. Nothing ambiguous about the movie. It's 100% real with no possibility of being fake.
@@crescendyr8438That’s what I was thinking. Why have scenes of other characters with their own reactions if it was supposedly focused on his viewpoint through specially made memories? And the shot where the dude tells him he was from Rekall and his wife walking in pretending to still love him. Characters that are aware that Rekall exists but they are not real?
41:20 "See you at the party, Richter!"
THE BEST!
I'm so happy Eric has finally seen this!! Great movie and great reaction. Rob Bottin's practical effects in this movie are PERFECT. Every time you guys saw the effects and said "1990!", I was thinking "more like, Rob Bottin!" His effects are always crazy amazing...and John Carpenter's The Thing and Robocop were even both before 1990! A true artistic genius.
My parents took me to see this in the theater when I was 6; it made me the man I am today.
I remember not wanting to see it because the promo art made it look like a love story. I was 9 if it came out in 1990. Boy was I wrong. My mom was like, "told you".
A man who has a three-boobs fetish?
The one-liners in this are just top tier
"Blue skies on Mars, that's a new one"
especially cuz it'd need vast majority of the surface to be water-covered like earth to reflect that earth-like blue skies. :D
@@kinagrill that's based on atmosphere makeup, not water coverage
let my dream remain!@@robertlankford4570
The squibs used in this movie HAD to give the stuntmen massive bruises.
A masterpiece of goodness.
The first summer blockbuster of the 1990s.
From the director of Robocop (1987), screenwriters of Alien (1979) and based on an short story by the author of Blade Runner & Minority Report.
The teaser trailer for T2:Judgment Day was on the early theatre prints of Total Recall and audiences were going nuts for that before the movie started.
I can't tell you how much excitement there was in this extravaganza.
Arnold at his best with supreme action, suspense and plenty of one-liners.
Amazing effects at every turn in every form.
The original score and main theme by Jerry Goldsmith is fantastic.
Not just bang, boom and pow.
But there is a story to be had with identity and all the things that come with it.
"Taking the red pill" or a means of returning to reality, this movie pre-dated The Matrix (1999) in using this term.
My mom still has the comic book adaptation by DC Comics (DC Movie Special).
Autographed by one of the people who worked on it.
There was a remake in 2012.
More closer to the original material (not set on Mars) and it wasn't liked as much.
But other than that, hope you guys enjoyed the ride.
Reel Rejects and Blind Wave both reacting to different Arnold movies today? Cool!
This is definitely one of Arnold's better movies.
If no one else mentions it, Johnny Cab was voiced by and modeled after Robert Picardo
I'm usually bad at picking out voices, but I actually got this one!
Eric's faces during this movie are HILARIOUS! I laughed so hard watching him.
The beginning of this film and Quaid pulling the tracker from his nose have been permanently seared into my brain since sneaking downstairs while my parents were asleep and watching this film as kid.
Oh my goodness, THIS! I should not have watched this film for the first time at the age I was. Those images have never left the depths of my brain.
Fun fact: The guy Arnold/Doug is talking to at 5:29 is played by Robert Constanzo, who also voices Harvey Bullock in Batman: The Animated Series.
11:10 Calvin: "Detective Bullock" :P
* sees Eric react to the first depressurisation fakeout at the start * Ohhh, cant wait for the finale :D
I remember hearing a story about during the making of the movie Arnold would see Michael Ironside was talking on the phone almost after every scene and apparently it angered Arnold so one day he confronted him about it found out that Michael was talking too his sister who had cancer so out of the kindness of his heart Arnold gave her a diet to help fight or help deal with the cancer I can't remember what all was said but Michael never forget about the kindness that Arnold had showed him.
Good ear! The opening credits were actually temp-tracked with Conan The Barbarian music (Basil Poledouris). Arnold reportedly wanted music that was reminiscent of both Terminator and Conan for the opening title.
Arnold should have just put it in his contract for every movie he stars in to have that as part of the theme. It's great and I love the visual design of the title sequence as well. I listened to the score a lot in college.
That's cool.
Didn't know that.
That wasn't 'Clothes, boots, and motorcycle.' That was Micky Jones, he was a pretty famous drummer for Kenny Rogers and the First Edition, and had a recurring role in the TV show Home Improvement and the miniseries V, where he starred alongside Michael Ironside.
He was also a Weed Kingpin from Memphis in Justified.
“See you at the party Richter!” Is one of my favorite movie lines ever.
The squint, jaw drop, and finger point for Dean Norris was epic 😄
The guy with the beard talking to Arnold on the train worked with Michael Ironside in the last season of the TV show V in the 80s
Good spot I knew him from something......
I just realized, it takes 5 to 20 minutes for radio to travel between Earth and Mars.
Open your mind!
12:38
"Not the face you want" Michael Ironside.
One of the most iconic late 70's most of the 80's bad guy.
Then Starship Troopers made him the most loved.
Love this movie, great reaction as always guys.
One of the greatest commentaries of all time, which I highly recommend, is Arnold's commentary on this film. I think someone made a video on it titled "Arnold totally recalls Total Recall" where he literally explains each scene and admires what's happening. One of the greatest to ever do it 😆
"For the memory of a lifetime... Rekall, Rekall, Rekall..."
30:13 "Don't crack the dome" in an off-Earth mining town made me think of the Shaun Connery movie Outland (1981).
FINALLY A TRUE CLASSIC😂❤❤❤❤❤
Open your mind....to the world...of 1990
we partied like it was 1999
22:21 Mickey Jones is the miner on the train.
T2's cigar biker was Robert Winley.
In a movie with Mars and mutants the craziest most unrealistic thing is Arnold continually getting hit in the nuts, only having a facial reaction, and still fighting.
Such a great movie thats aged quite well in many ways. The over the top violence is a Verhoeven trademark, especially the exaggerated squib shots. Arnold has some great one liners in this one.
Philip K. Dick a writing genius his impact on sci-fi and movies is amazing when you see what he has inspired.
Funny thing, the director said in an interview that he originally wanted someone like Dustin Hoffman to star, and leave the ending ambiguous, but with Arnold no one actually believes that it would had been just a dream
This was so much fun. Glad you guys reacted to this one.
“Two Weeks” has been my go to non-answer, since I first seen this movie ages ago!
I love Rick's Daredevil glasses ❤
The thumbnail for this was right next to a "Jaws" reaction thumbnail😂. A movie of just Arnold grunting and making Arnold noises would make for a great night out👍.
Dean Norris (Hank from Breaking Bad) was in a bunch of well known 90s movies: Terminator 2, Lethal Weapon 2, Gremlins 2, Gattaca, Starship Troopers, The Negotiator etc etc.
Fun Facts: The 1974 Japanese movie "The Street Fighter" featured x-ray vision bone-breaking finishing moves. It starred Sonny Chiba, the father of Mackenyu, who played Zoro in One Piece live action.
I saw the eye popping scene when I was maybe 7-8 and that shit haunted me for years
The acting skill of both Sharon Stone & Michael Ironside makes me honestly think they are a couple in love. Took me until the third viewing to pay attention to that.
Best human shield ever on the escalator!
Aaron and eric haven't watched highlander either that would be a great reaction to watch considering they love Christopher Lambert in mortal kombat this was such a great film love it
Trivia fact: The guy that voices Johnny Cab is the same actor who plays the holographic doctor on Star Trek: Voyager, Robert Picardo. He will be reprising his role as the voice of the Doctor in Season 2 of the kids show Star Trek: Prodigy, which will be streaming exclusively on Netflix this year.
the ending is a fade to white instead of the classic fade to black, could be a hint that it is a dream
9:20 - Me as a kid watching this scene : "My name is not Quaid. I'm tiny now, I'M TINY!"
Quick question.
What year is this film from??
So happy you did this reaction, awesome Friday treat.
Another Paul Verhoeven classic masterpiece.
I remember discussing this movie at length with my friends about whether it was real or a dream after seeing it in the theater.
I always laugh out loud when I see you guys writing notes! So funny and weird.
so hyped! rick! erics raw reaction! a sci fi classic!
I love every single "ERWAAAAERWAAAAA" noises from Arnold.
The older Jason and the Argonauts had a skeleton fight.
😂😂I love Arnold’s face expressions in this movie & I liked the remake too but this one of youve never seen Total recall this one’s much more shocking
this movie was way WAY ahead of its time
So glad I grew up in the 80's and 90's. Such an amazing time for film. Lived on movies like this.
-big ass TVs
-X-raying passengers
-videos on public transport (expect it's not WatchMojo)
They got some of their predictions correct
Have you guys ever seen the British series Red Dwarf?
It's a very funny comedy/parody of general science fiction concepts and ideas. The show was first aired in 1988 and off and on continued into the 2000s.
The stories are very creative and quite entertaining.
I think you guys would really like it especially if you enjoy British humor.
It's currently airing on Tubi for free.
Also the original Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy series from the BBC is really good as well.
It's only about 7 episodes but it covers the first two books.
But don’t go any further than season 6!
I remember seeing this in the cinema when it came out in 1990 with 2 school friends. Great days!
Ah the 90's, and we can never unsee that decompressing eyes scene!
Carolco Pictures (the company behind this film) was responsible for many of the big 80s-90s action movies, and probably had a lot of the same people on their roster of actors, titles, and score talent, hence a lot of the "familiar" faces, looks, and sounds.
They almost did Spider-Man & X-Men.
gotta love all the crunching sound effects
I watched this film multiple times as a kid. The 1990s were a very different time. 😄
"Nineteen Ninety"
The fact that the effects STILL hold up to this day is great.
You can imagine what it was like watching it back then (I was only about 12, but I still watched it on VHS. lol)
The 3D effects for the X-ray scanner was quite something at the time.
But the miniatures and anamatronics are still amazing.
Especially considering a lot of them are full human heads/faces.
When they are in the Martian atmosphere, with eyes bulging out, it still looks very real.
(or at least how you might imagine it. I doubt it's super scientifically accurate. lol)
Paul Verhoeven had quite a busy time making great few movies back then.
Robocop (1987) is another all-time classic.
Not just for the effects and gore, but Robocop himself was convincing, and they got the satire just right.
And yeah, I think most of the movie was Arnie having his "Recall" experience, from the very moment he put his head in the emplantation machine. But the movie is so well done, nobody really cares either way if it was real or not. ;)
Great score by Jerry Goldsmith, too.
(he did a lot of the Star Trek movies, as did James Horner.)
Jerry Goldsmith brings another great movie to mind - Innerspace (1987).
THIS IS A CLASSIC!
28:20 I almost think they used this same musical sting the Matrix. Specifically at the end of the Matrix Reloaded when you find out Bane/Smith is unconscious on the ship. Would be a nice Easter egg.
It was filmed in Mexico city, the location of the subway is Mexico City subway.
Verhoeven squibs are the BEST SQUIBS!
The guy on the train is not the guy from terminator 2, he was in the tv series V as Michael Ironsides right hand man
Eric's right. when Calvin said "It's been" i went to the song as well.
My favourite part of any peak Arnie movie, is the start of the movie when you have literally the most sculpted guy in the world going "I am just average Joe!" before stuff gets crazy
Filmed in 1989 released in 1990.
That poor guy on the elevator! 🤣 He was just going to work or somin.
The scene with the wall to wall television is currently possible. I have seen a video here on youtube where a guy placed three large flatscreens vertically up on one wall in a basement, making it look like there was a floor to ceiling window wall, or sliding doors, if i remember correctly (and it did look pretty damn good). The big shotgun they used was the pancor jackhammer. The guy who played the boss of all the guys in the uniforms was played by Marc Alaimo, who played Gull Dukat on Star Trek. The guy in the train with the red hair and the beard, who was talking about "all the alien shit they found inside" starred with Michael Ironside in the early 1980's sci-fi mini and tv-series V, (which i hope you guys get to see and react to, one day), and there was a never finished (i think) sequel comic-book series of this movie that came out not that long ago.
Gotta React to “The Running Man” underrated Arnold classic!
Great reaction guys ,hopefully at some point you react to Commando another Arnold action classic
They were messing with his mind because he was playing out a secret agent script and this is part of it being believable, where something goes "wrong" at Recall but it's still part of the agent scenario.
One of the hints at the start that it might not be real that I don't think they brought up is that whilst the Recall techs mention alien artefacts the screen behind them cycles through art and ends in the concept art for the reactor on Mars. It looks exactly like what Doug finds at the end of the film, further suggesting it might be implanted.
Impossible. We see the POV of the villains and even parts where Doug is unconscious (after the Schizoid embolism at Recall). He doesn't remember that, but we the audience see it. None of that is possible if it's just a memory implant. Even when the Dr. comes to this hotel room on Mars it's treated like he's in a virtual matrix world that's being generated on the fly. That's not what Recall does. It's just a memory implant that seems as real as the real thing. It's not something that can be monitored in real-time. So the Doc was obviously lying. Nor is something that would give you outside POVs like a dream could. So it has to be real.
Edit: And the alien artifact picture on the monitor the technician was scrolling thru was not the same as the alien reactor at the end.
Rick looks like Matt Murdock got stuck on an island for 6 years and decided gambling was the first thing he wanted to try when he got back to civilization.
Might be my favourite Arnie movie. So good.
Anyone know what year this came out?.... 😏
Johnny cab was voiced by Robert Picardo. He later played in Star trek and star gate series.
Omg, how do you skip the triple tid-bit scene?! Its iconic, and the first thing remembering Total Recall
Quaid, start the reactor. Haven't seen this movie in years. Thanks for reacting to it.
Fun Fact: Johnny Cab is voiced by Robert Picardo from Star Trek Voyager
I believe Mel was shown in the beginning, she was a reporter or newswoman on the tv
This movie was based on a book by Philip K. Dick, who also wrote the books/short stories that Blade Runner, Minority Report, Screamers, A Scanner Darkly, The Adjustment Bureau and The Man in the High Castle were based on. He's a legend of the science fiction genre.
"I'm sure she hated every minute of it 😏"
That line and delivery will never not be funny
1990!!!
*Running Man, with Arnold ... - 1987*
