The best thing about this movies is 30 years later we're all still debating if it's a dream or reality. There's so many significant things that support each point, so you could ve right/wrong either way. Simply genius! This really is a perfect movie...great action, cheesy one liners, exestential ideas, thought provoking twists, practical effects that are simply incredible! Such a fun ride, Im glad you decided to react to this.
@@jasonrd316 It's a memory implant. Not a dream or a shared matrix world. It's supposed to be like any other memory, which could not be marketed as such if you have added dreamlike memories of other people's perspectives. Also keep in mind that you can't insert an actual person into another's memories, meaning the guy giving him the pill and his loving wife would have to be figments. Why program a figment to be scared, nervous and sweat if the whole point is to convince him it's all fake? It is 100% real.
@@crescendyr8438 Agree to disagree. If you're stuck in a labotomized state you can see anything from any angle. That's whats happening there. If he got the implant, but they've lost control of him, just like the man said, he could be making it up as he goes. I've had dreams from another perspective, I'm sure you can do that in a coma or anything else. You act as though the mind is limited when you have people out there suffering from schizophrenia and literally see life in the 3rd person.
Cohagan is such a believable villain because he basically has the mindset of all the utility companies. This movie is so iconic. I miss the sensibility of 80s and early 90s pop cinema. This and The Fifth Element have the same kinda feel to me.
I just watched the "remake" of this, and ugh ... that was hard to stick with to the end. The Arnold version is so much more fun. Definitely the one to watch!
Me and my brother got totally baked and went and saw this movie in the theater opening night. I think our minds would’ve been melted even if we wouldn’t have gotten high first.😂
Paul Verhoeven used many of the same actors in his trifecta of sci fi movies "Robocop", "Total Recall" & "Starship Troopers". If you are also into medieval fiction, I highly recommend Verhoeven's "Flesh & Blood".
@@paul1979uk2000 The "Fade to White" heavily implies Quaid was lobotomized, since he had completely given up on returning to reality. There are honestly so many "Chekov's Gun" moments before and when Quaid goes to Rekall, when he's talking to his work buddy and he mentions his friend nearly got lobotomized trying out a "Special Option", You never really get a good look at the brunette's face during the opening dream, so the Rekall representation of her just filled in the blanks, at Rekall he picks the Special Agent option, where everyone you thought you trusted becomes against you while you fight your way through them, but in the end he'll kill all the bad guys, get the girl, and save the planet. Bonus point for the Technician's quips of "We're doing alien artifacts now" and "wow that's a first, blue skies on mars" It was all a dream, the last thoughts of a brain being blended into mush
Basically, I think other than him seeing Melina in the dream at the beginning....every other thing that happens during the film is consistent with an implant. The ending (including fade to white) is consistent with implant interpretation. Some people think white means waking up, some with him being labotomised. I don't think it matters which, they're both implant interpretation endings I think.
There's a ton of Star Trek connections here: The score is (once more masterfully) done by Jerry Goldsmith, who did a lot of Star Trek music (half the movies, themes for TNG and Voyager). I think Goldsmith was the greatest film composer that ever lived, and this is one of his best works. The Johnny Cab was voiced by and modeled after Robert Picardo, the holo-doc from Star Trek Voyager. The triple-breasted hooker was played by Lycia Naff, who played Sonya Gomez on TNG (2 episodes) and Lower Decks. Cohaagen is played by Ronny Coy, who played a temporary Captain of the Enterprise in a TNG two-parter. The uniformed head security guy on Mars (red beret) is played by Marc Alaimo, who was Gul Dukat in DS9 (and, thanks to his long neck, was the inspiration for the look of the Cardassians in general).
To give you an idea of just how nice Arnold Schwarzenegger is in real life, he found out during the shoot that Michael Ironside's sister was in the hospital battling cancer, so every day during the shoot he called Michael's sister and encouraged her through her treatment.
+1. While on vacation in the keys in the early 90’s we landed on Marathon one night. There were a couple helicopters and an obviously private jet there and were told Arnold was there filming a movie. Turns out it was parts of True Lies and we happened to leave the same day as him, met him in that small airport, he took time out and was the nicest guy. Was the best ending to a week long Big Pine key getaway.
There's also the theory it was a dream/implant. When he's at Rekall the guy says "Oh that's a new one Blue Skies on Mars." Remember the salesman said "you get the girl, kill the bad guys and save the world." The movie ends with blue skies on Mars, he gets the girl, kills the bad guys, and saves the world of Mars. 🤔
@@cambion_entertainment ...but they had...as soon as the scene switches from Doug in the machine to the guy interviewing the other client... they are in the memory simulation, saying it wasn't implanted might have been part of the implant...as weird as it sounds with all the "Secret agent" kind of stuff...you'd have to be convinced that it actually happened, if you just went to sleep and woke up to a friendly face at your average business who specializes in fake memories, you would know the memory was fake...remember, Recall promises a memory as real as any in your head...
One of my favorite movies. I was 19 when this came out and I went to see it four times. I love everything about this movie, but what I really love most of all is the score composed for the film by the late Jerry Goldsmith. He is one of my favorite composers and I have the collector's edition of Total Recall on a three-record vinyl set. I love how it sounds on vinyl.
This movie has a soft spot for me because it was filmed in Mexico City and I recognize all the locations. Many are at on the metro subway or the subway stations. But more than that, it is one of the top sci-fi concepts of all time (adapted from Phillip K. Dick).
This movie is based off a short novella by Philip K. Dick called "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" which is about a person having a memory vacation implanted, but by the end of the story you (the reader) are very unsure of what is real or not. I love this movie because it is peak 90's scifi with it's over the top special effects and just a fun scifi spy story. Love your channels reactions.
All of Verhoeven films have the same unique aesthetic and filmography which I love, that's probably why you see a lot of the same actors in Starship Troopers and Total Recall because it was the same director.
Verhoeven's version of Philip Dick's story is vigorous, exciting, and inventive sci-fi thriller, combining pulp savviness, ultra-graphic violence, and Oscar-winning special effects.
That guy attached to Kuato was also in Starship Troopers. He was the General they found hiding in the locker. The special effects in this movie were groundbreaking for 1990.
For me, it's one of his highest qualities, I mean, Arnold isn't the best actor around, but he sure is entertaining and has made a lot of good movies, and entertainment is what we are here for.
@@paul1979uk2000 Yeah, he has such a distinct personality and I never hear it mentioned but he also has a very expressive face...the wide-eyed "Oh, shit!" look or his "I'm about to turn you to dust." face...lol, so good...
There are three actors in this that were also in Starship Troopers, the third one is the guy playing the host body of Kuato. He was the general they find in the locker in the military base.
3:31 Haha. Without fail, every girl reacting to the movie gets to the nail-pen and just goes: "WANT". 14:36 This is what you call explosive decompression. It's air pressure rapiddly dropping from inclosed space. Atmosphere inside the aiport is different than that on Mars, so when the shielding is ruptured, the pressure tries to even itself out by sucking all the air out.
I used to work for a Theater Company. We would do employee only sneak peeks of movies the day before the movie was released. Technically we were supposed to do a play-through after the film was put together for a quality check. So employees from all over the citt would come to watch. In that last scene were they get dumped on the surface and almost die, It got quiet in the theater. I shouted out "BULLSHIT" because it was so unbelieveable. Everyone busted out laughing. The movie ends with Arnold asking "What if this is all a dream?" and it fades to white. Fade to white in a movie is used to represent coming out of a dream. It was all a dream. It never happened.
In this future society, you can travel to Mars, get fake memories, play with holograms, watch TV on your wall, meet mutants and use alien technology, but what seems to amaze Kacee the most is that you can change the color of your nails by tapping them with a pen.
Great movie. You should see other great Arnold Schwarzenegger action movies The Running Man 1987 (A great underrated movie Came out same time as Predator ) , Conan The Barbarian 1982 Arnold Schwarzenegger breakout role. An Epic movie with Epic music. End of Days 1999 , The Sixth day and Twins. The 2011 remake of this movie is complete trash. See you in the party Victor :)
For those who keep talking about how he dreamt of Melina...keep in mind, that could have been part of the implant to make the whole spy thing more seamless in his mind.
@Dos Cavazos,and the lead guy who was talking the hentchmen(John Saxon) that you almst forgot was from Starship Troopers,old guy(Ronny Cox- aka Dick Jones) is from the OG Robocop movie( He was one of the people who ran OCP),ha?.
This movie is brilliant. It's the most intelligent movie Arnold ever did. The movie is great because it lets you determine what it really means. It's open to interpretation, which makes it a really sophisticated story.
So, I have some martial arts movie recommendations for you guys. For an experience more similar to movies like 'Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon' and 'Hero' I'd suggest 'House of Flying Daggers' and 'Curse of the Golden Flower' - preferably subbed. And for something similar to 'Ip Man' I'd suggest Jet Li's 'Fearless'. Other Jet Li movies you may enjoy are "Fist of Legend" (often considered his best film and has a decent dub), "Twin Warriors", "Once Upon a Time in China", "The Legend" (a.k.a. "The Legend of Fong Sai-Yuk"), "The Legend II" (a.k.a. "The Legend of Fong Sai-Yuk 2"), "Legend of the Red Dragon", and "The Legend of the Swordsman" - then there's "The Enforcer" and "Black Mask" which has a more modern setting. For these, the dubs may be fine - they're definitely nostalgic.
I'm surprised there's even a discussion, but it was clearly all a dream. Listen to the sales pitch at Rekall. Evening that was included in the package he chose is exactly what he got. It would be statistically impossible for him to promise all that and have it come true in reality.
The woman of his dreams could be an actress he'd seen somewhere, then consciously forgotten but dreamed of who also did work for Rekall. There's nothing to prove any of this after going to Rekall is real.
The 2012 remake (if you've read the Philip K. Dick story you know it's a remake and not an adaptation) isn't not quite as fun as the 1990 Arnold movie but it's still worth watching once.
So cool you reviewed this movie, just me personally I would get much better sennheiser headphones. The score is done by Jerry Goldsmith and it’s considered one of his best, you can’t really hear the fidelity with air pods.
My favourite part of the film is that the Rekall guy sweats and that's a giveaway that it's fake while everyone is bleeding and sweating all over the place.
Oh sweet! That's my dinner viewing sorted. They remade this, it's alright, but this original is WAY better :) I leave the rest of them to add all the trivia :P
Such a great story, from such a successful sci-fi writer, who most people never heard of: Phillip K. Dick. Among other things, he wrote . . . > Total Rekall (Original title) > "Blade Runner (Original title: "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?") > The Adjustment Bureau > A Scanner Darkly > Minority Report > The Man in the High Castle > Paycheck > Screamers Yes, a very successful writer, whom the average person probably never heard of. Pity.
@Dos Cavazos,did Arnold's secret Agent personal character almost said," Lori Get to the Chopper?",bad guy are after me& I don't want them to hurt you,haha?.
I'd read the book and watched this years later and read a synopsis by the film makers. Remember the direction this is intended to highlight the advantages but more the dangers of perfected virtual reality. When you look at the film again everything comes into question. Did you really watch it and they live this, or did he imagine it only to be lobotomized at the end? And was it the productions intention that the audience experienced it this way? "I don't wanna spoil it for you, but you rest assured by the time the trip is over, you get the girl, kill the bad guys and save the entire planet." As written, yes?
I recall 😉 vividly when Kacee said she hadn't watched this one, this is a dream 😉😉 come true!!! BTW did she not recognize Sharon Stone?? Lol oh sweeet chile!! 🫶🏼
great soundtrack, cool effects, nice story with twists, nice setting with an amazing soundtrack by jerry goldsmith and the right amount of weird/bizarre elements
Now you have to see his other blockbuster movie Robocop. Also a lesser known movie Showgirls. That stars the actress who played Jessie in Saved By the Bell, Elizabeth Berkeley
Hi Kacee!😊 So, you have now seen two films in the unofficial Verhoeven trilogy. Three films directed by Dutch filmmaker Paul Verhoeven. All three films are futuristic violent films. You recently saw "Starship Troopers" which is the last film in the trilogy. The only film left is the first film "Robocop" (1987). Robocop is considered a great film by many! You'll see a familiar face there, too. Nice solo reactions to one of Verhoeven's fun futuristic violent films, Kacee!!!! 🎬👏👏👏👏
First summer blockbuster of the 1990s. Stacked with great filmmakers behind it. The director of Robocop (1987), writers of Alien (1979) and based on the short story by the author of Blade Runner & Minority Report. I can't tell you how much excitement there was in this extravaganza. Arnold at his best. Supreme action and suspense. But not just bang, boom and pow. There is a story to be had with identity and all the things that come with it. The 2012 remake by Len Wisemen (Underworld) was more closer to the original material (not set on Mars) and it wasn't liked as much. But other than that, hope enjoyed the ride.
Here's a question. If Doug's wife was really there in person and not just an implant trying to talk him down with the Dr. from Recall ...... then wouldnt she have a bruised face from being punched out by Doug back in their apartment. Bruises take a long time to heal, especially when a giant bodybuilder guy knocks you out by punching you in the face.
as far as the "vintage aesthetic" it's only vintage until comes back around again.. a 100 years from now, 80s could be the current trend ... and i don't mean sardonically or facetiously... like for real... look at hipsters now, they mean it... they're not blacksmiths or art makers of 80 years ago but they sure as hell are rocking the look
The air pressure on Mars at the surface is about the same as here on Earth.. at 100,000 feet.!!! So yeah, it's hard to breath and the sun's radiation comes right down to the ground. Of course even if it was enough to breath the Martian atmosphere is almost all Carbon Dioxide. Not much oxygen. --- The story this is based on was written back in the 70's by the great sci-fi author, Phillip K. Dick. Some TV and films based on his works. You may be familiar with some. The Man in the High Castle (TV Series) Electric Dreams (TV Series) The Adjustment Bureau A Scanner Darkly Paycheck Minority Report Total Recall Blade Runner Glad to see you enjoy it. As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
@@gordonhaire9206 I live north of Dallas, raised in El Paso. I would never want to live anywhere else. Everyone that I meet we do a minimum of the head nod, sometime, "Hi" or "How you doin?".

No debate, yes, it’s a dream or reality. ;-)
The scenes without Quaid in them make no sense if it is a dream.
@@crescendyr8438 If he's dreaming (or more likely, labotomized) he can be imagining those just as he is everything else.

Like the robocop remake, so bad
That "remake" was a joke. You're supposed to go bigger, not smaller.
The Remake was good but not so much if you grew up with the original. As a stand alone movie, if you treat it that way, it was good for what it was.
@@philipgroves4186 yup, like the Robocop remake, it tries to be too slick and different. Taking the story from mars was stupid.
The remake never happened.

Read "Ubik", a novel by Phillip K. Dick, the author of the story this movie is based on. You won't even know if you are real or not after reading it.
You must be old as sht I saw this on HBO
Paul Verhoeven used many of the same actors in his trifecta of sci fi movies "Robocop", "Total Recall" & "Starship Troopers". If you are also into medieval fiction, I highly recommend Verhoeven's "Flesh & Blood".
Yup. Also the guy who plays big Quato also played the terrified general in Starship Troopers
'That's a new one, Blue Sky on Mars.' Just now noticed how well that line by the Recall Tech plays so well into the movie and its' ending.
That and "We're doing 'alien artifacts' now."
It does suggest that it was a dream, also the fade to white suggest the dream is coming to an end.
@@paul1979uk2000 The "Fade to White" heavily implies Quaid was lobotomized, since he had completely given up on returning to reality.

"We haven't implanted it yet"

Im pretty sure dick wasn't too mad at Paul for this
That guy attached to Kuato was also in Starship Troopers. He was the General they found hiding in the locker.
The special effects in this movie were groundbreaking for 1990.
I remember the first time I watched this movie. I became obsessed immediately
The sounds that Arnold manage to make in this flick is Hall of Fame material.
'Is that Arnold, or is someone shaking an overweight Manatee?'
So many of his lines from this movie also been used in prank calls in older times.
I'm now struggling to picture an overweight Manatee, and all I'm coming up with is a beach ball with an elephant skin pattern.
For me, it's one of his highest qualities, I mean, Arnold isn't the best actor around, but he sure is entertaining and has made a lot of good movies, and entertainment is what we are here for.

I find it amusing that the women who react to this movie are primarily impressed by being able to change your nail color with the touch of a stylus.
In this future society, you can travel to Mars, get fake memories, play with holograms, watch TV on your wall, meet mutants and use alien technology, but what seems to amaze Kacee the most is that you can change the color of your nails by tapping them with a pen.
How does a normal human being think up all this stuff from a short story?🤔 amazing
80s and 90s Arnold is the best. Kacee always figures out the plot before it happens.
Total recall was my first movie I ever saw in theatre in 1990. I was excited
I saw this in the cinema when it first came out, and it blew me away! The budget was >$100 million; an utterly gigantic sum in those days.
All we are is a collection of memories.
and farts
Great movie. You should see other great Arnold Schwarzenegger action movies The Running Man 1987 (A great underrated movie Came out same time as Predator ) , Conan The Barbarian 1982 Arnold Schwarzenegger breakout role. An Epic movie with Epic music. End of Days 1999 , The Sixth day and Twins. The 2011 remake of this movie is complete trash. See you in the party Victor :)
In Spain we call Kuato President Puyol since he looks very similar to a former president of the autonomy of Catalonia
This and Predator are my favorite Arnold movies
"True Lies" is my favorite Arnie flick.
For those who keep talking about how he dreamt of Melina...keep in mind, that could have been part of the implant to make the whole spy thing more seamless in his mind.
The head attached to my torso wants to say "start the re-action".
My top 4 Verhoeven movies.
1- Total Recall.
2- Robocop
3- Starship troopers.
4- basic instinct.
SEE YOU AT THE PARTY RICHTER !
🙌
YAY!! Freed!! I hope you'll find RUNNING MAN soon... or have you already done that?
By the wife, Lori's "husband" is Michael Ironside. He plays the Old Dad and owner of the company in NOBODY.
actually 3 people from start trupers, Kuato actor was in freezer in start troopers when they get trapped at camp
The stop-motion on the fake head opening up is still really impressive.
@Dos Cavazos,and the lead guy who was talking the hentchmen(John Saxon) that you almst forgot was from Starship Troopers,old guy(Ronny Cox- aka Dick Jones) is from the OG Robocop movie( He was one of the people who ran OCP),ha?.
I just realized that they did the whole ''red pill'' thing way before ''The Matrix'' ! Totally didn't recall that !
This movie is brilliant. It's the most intelligent movie Arnold ever did.
The movie is great because it lets you determine what it really means. It's open to interpretation, which makes it a really sophisticated story.
The nail coloring gets all the female reacctors. 😄
I don`t know, why the movies in the past were so much fun?
Good pick. 😁
You'd like the remake too, with Colin Farrell and Kate Beckinsale.
no...
The Running Man is good one too,thanks for sharing 👍✌️🇺🇸
So, I have some martial arts movie recommendations for you guys. For an experience more similar to movies like 'Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon' and 'Hero' I'd suggest 'House of Flying Daggers' and 'Curse of the Golden Flower' - preferably subbed. And for something similar to 'Ip Man' I'd suggest Jet Li's 'Fearless'.
Other Jet Li movies you may enjoy are "Fist of Legend" (often considered his best film and has a decent dub), "Twin Warriors", "Once Upon a Time in China", "The Legend" (a.k.a. "The Legend of Fong Sai-Yuk"), "The Legend II" (a.k.a. "The Legend of Fong Sai-Yuk 2"), "Legend of the Red Dragon", and "The Legend of the Swordsman" - then there's "The Enforcer" and "Black Mask" which has a more modern setting. For these, the dubs may be fine - they're definitely nostalgic.
I know it's not about the movie but our Boys look pretty good so far. Big one coming up against the niners
YAY ANOTHER KACEE REACTION!
I'm surprised there's even a discussion, but it was clearly all a dream. Listen to the sales pitch at Rekall. Evening that was included in the package he chose is exactly what he got. It would be statistically impossible for him to promise all that and have it come true in reality.
❤🐢 always happy to see more content
The woman of his dreams could be an actress he'd seen somewhere, then consciously forgotten but dreamed of who also did work for Rekall. There's nothing to prove any of this after going to Rekall is real.
The 2012 remake (if you've read the Philip K. Dick story you know it's a remake and not an adaptation) isn't not quite as fun as the 1990 Arnold movie but it's still worth watching once.
THIS WAS A GREAT MOVIE!
Arnold Schwarzenegger's screams are always funny
So cool you reviewed this movie, just me personally I would get much better sennheiser headphones. The score is done by Jerry Goldsmith and it’s considered one of his best, you can’t really hear the fidelity with air pods.
Such a good movie, my favorite Paul Verhoeven movie.
My favourite part of the film is that the Rekall guy sweats and that's a giveaway that it's fake while everyone is bleeding and sweating all over the place.
TOTAL RECALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did anyone else notice that a significant portion of the cast from RoboCop is in this film?
In case you are interested: the surname "Schwarzenegger" can be translated as "Blackplowman".
What's the etymology on that?
I only know plow as _Pflüg_
@@5ilver42 And "black" = "Schwarz" or "Schwarzen". "Egger" = "Pflüger" and "Pflüger" = "plowman".
In case you're interested: the name "Arnold Schwarzenegger" can also be translated as "Gary Coleman".
Oh sweet! That's my dinner viewing sorted. They remade this, it's alright, but this original is WAY better :) I leave the rest of them to add all the trivia :P
Such a great story, from such a successful sci-fi writer, who most people never heard of: Phillip K. Dick. Among other things, he wrote . . .
> Total Rekall (Original title)
> "Blade Runner (Original title: "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?")
> The Adjustment Bureau
> A Scanner Darkly
> Minority Report
> The Man in the High Castle
> Paycheck
> Screamers
Yes, a very successful writer, whom the average person probably never heard of. Pity.
@Dos Cavazos,did Arnold's secret Agent personal character almost said," Lori Get to the Chopper?",bad guy are after me& I don't want them to hurt you,haha?.
robocop , total recall , starship troopers , basic instinct , all great from paul verhoven
Don't forget Soldaat van Oranje (Soldier of Orange) which got him noticed by Hollywood.
Total Recall is a perfect movie… perfect
Reading anything by Philip K Dick will make you question your own reality
I miss Rebecca too.
Michael Ironside is one of the best actors ever! He is also a great voice actor. (Darkside)
Sam Fisher from the Splinter Cell games.
Scanners!
32:28 There is no limit in a dream, only those ones make themselves 😴
"Getcha ahhs ta Mahs...Getcha ahhs ta Mahs...Getcha ahhs ta Mahs..."
"I feel like there's something more than this."
That's right, everybody, Arnie is a classic Disney princess.
That isnt only a princess trope, but an era of Disney movies in general, males too, like Aladdin for example :P
This is one of the best movies eva⏺
I was gonna say "where's the chief?" And he showed his hand 😂😂
I'd read the book and watched this years later and read a synopsis by the film makers. Remember the direction this is intended to highlight the advantages but more the dangers of perfected virtual reality. When you look at the film again everything comes into question. Did you really watch it and they live this, or did he imagine it only to be lobotomized at the end? And was it the productions intention that the audience experienced it this way?
"I don't wanna spoil it for you, but you rest assured by the time the trip is over, you get the girl, kill the bad guys and save the entire planet."
As written, yes?
I recall 😉 vividly when Kacee said she hadn't watched this one, this is a dream 😉😉 come true!!! BTW did she not recognize Sharon Stone?? Lol oh sweeet chile!! 🫶🏼
great soundtrack, cool effects, nice story with twists, nice setting with an amazing soundtrack by jerry goldsmith and the right amount of weird/bizarre elements
Now you have to see his other blockbuster movie Robocop. Also a lesser known movie Showgirls. That stars the actress who played Jessie in Saved By the Bell, Elizabeth Berkeley
Favorite movie! (2023.10.28)
Ever since self driving Teslas came out I thought they should have Johnny Cab drivers.
I know the concepts themselves are fairly different but this was basically inception long before inception
Damm,we nevergot to see the party!
Hi Kacee!😊 So, you have now seen two films in the unofficial Verhoeven trilogy. Three films directed by Dutch filmmaker Paul Verhoeven. All three films are futuristic violent films. You recently saw "Starship Troopers" which is the last film in the trilogy. The only film left is the first film "Robocop" (1987). Robocop is considered a great film by many! You'll see a familiar face there, too. Nice solo reactions to one of Verhoeven's fun futuristic violent films, Kacee!!!! 🎬👏👏👏👏
First summer blockbuster of the 1990s.
Stacked with great filmmakers behind it.
The director of Robocop (1987), writers of Alien (1979) and based on the short story by the author of Blade Runner & Minority Report.
I can't tell you how much excitement there was in this extravaganza.
Arnold at his best.
Supreme action and suspense.
But not just bang, boom and pow.
There is a story to be had with identity and all the things that come with it.
The 2012 remake by Len Wisemen (Underworld) was more closer to the original material (not set on Mars) and it wasn't liked as much.
But other than that, hope enjoyed the ride.
Now that you seen this one you should watch the remake 👍🏻👍🏻
Here's a question. If Doug's wife was really there in person and not just an implant trying to talk him down with the Dr. from Recall ...... then wouldnt she have a bruised face from being punched out by Doug back in their apartment. Bruises take a long time to heal, especially when a giant bodybuilder guy knocks you out by punching you in the face.
"Just shove real hard" it one of the funniest things Ive heard Arnold say in Any Movie 😂😂😂
Do o know him?
That's Michael Ironside one of the best character actors of the 90s
Definitely a dream
There was a tv series call "Total recall 2070" which was a combo of this and Blade Runner... amazing series. one of my fav
as far as the "vintage aesthetic" it's only vintage until comes back around again.. a 100 years from now, 80s could be the current trend ... and i don't mean sardonically or facetiously... like for real... look at hipsters now, they mean it... they're not blacksmiths or art makers of 80 years ago but they sure as hell are rocking the look
Never trust Sharon Stone!
Uno Cavazos on a couch, and uno on the side.
Love this movie. One pet peeve. It always drove me crazy men working w jackhammers and not wearing ear protection
I may be a weirdo but I like the reboot as well. Not as much as the original, but it's different enough imo that I enjoy it as its own movie.
to make a viable
atmosphere
it would take up to
1 million years
not just a few minutes
I believe that it was a dream. His purchase at rekall was too much of a coincidence for it not to be a dream
The air pressure on Mars at the surface is about the same as here on Earth.. at 100,000 feet.!!! So yeah, it's hard to breath and the sun's radiation comes right down to the ground. Of course even if it was enough to breath the Martian atmosphere is almost all Carbon Dioxide. Not much oxygen.

The story this is based on was written back in the 70's by the great sci-fi author, Phillip K. Dick.
Some TV and films based on his works. You may be familiar with some.
The Man in the High Castle (TV Series)
Electric Dreams (TV Series)
The Adjustment Bureau
A Scanner Darkly
Paycheck
Minority Report
Total Recall
Blade Runner
Glad to see you enjoy it.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
I've spent 70 of my 81 years in Texas (Upper Gulf coast, DFW, West of the Pecos, and The Valley.) No one ever said that to me.
@@gordonhaire9206 I live north of Dallas, raised in El Paso. I would never want to live anywhere else.
Everyone that I meet we do a minimum of the head nod, sometime, "Hi" or "How you doin?". I was in a Walgreens last week and I was in the checkout lane and the lady in front of me didn't have a basket and kept dropping stuff. I only had stuff in the back on child seat. I asked her if should would like to use the front of my basket. She did and thanked me when she got to the counter. It's just what we do.
Again, be safe. Oh, I'm a 39yo living in a 75yo container.
