"See you at the party, Richter!"

For those of you who haven't seen this film, I have only one thing to say; "Get your ass to Mars!"

I just love everything about this film: the practical effects; the over the top violence; Ronny Cox chewing the scenery like a man possessed, Michael Ironside’s sulky and snarling performance; Sharon Stone looking better than she ever has; Arnie’s super camp run after killing the gang lead by “Harry from verk”; the security guard who doesn’t even wait until he’s out of shot before giving up the chase after Doug Quaid smashes through the X-ray scanner, with a gun. There are a million other things but I’ll stop there as I could be at it all night otherwise.

Then at the centre of it all is the big man himself, playing an everyman as only a gigantic genetic freak like him can. Many people say it would be a better film without Arnold Schwarzenegger, but for me he’s the pumped up cherry atop a gloriously over filled cake.

Everyone should watch this film and relax, they’d live longer.

reality and fantasy are equally shitty except in one of them you are important.

They sure don't make 'em like they used to! Total Recall is Science Fiction at its absolute finest! Arnold Schwarzenegger truly was the king of the 80s and 90s. A brilliant film in every aspect. If you haven't seen this yet, then "get your ass to Mars"!

As a hot-blooded, heterosexual male, I’ve always had a relatively healthy fascination with the upper-torso region on the female anatomy. 

Nevertheless, if I’m being honest, the whole triple boob thing, somewhat surprisingly, never really did much for me.

I swear no one has more iconic lines then Arnold Schwarzenegger. What an OG

(Old impressions, not based on a recent viewing)

I remember enjoying this as a decent Arnold flick, but seeing how well liked it is and since it was by Verhoeven, I feel like I missed a lot, so onto the watchlist this goes.

I was not ready for how crazy this film is. Much deeper plot than I anticipated, vivid characters, punchy action, and a focus from Arnie on quality-over-quantity one-liners. Impressive. See you at the party, Richter.

“Consider that a divorce”. 

Strong Arnold-accent-one-liners, Verhoeven-blood and-gore, and a mind-boggling plot. Dream or reality. Guess we’ll never find out.

"See you at the party, Richter"

Fuckin' A.

Sometimes I wonder why I don't watch this movie everyday

Its easy to fixate on the theme of 'is it a dream or not?' and forget just how many ideas are packed into this film:
Memory implants that give you knowledge and skills in an instant.
A man trapped in a simulation of his fantasies.
An amnesiac secret agent receiving videotaped instructions from himself.
Radiation creating a new underclass of mutants.
A rebellion of the Mars colonies against their corporate oppressors.
The discovery of an ancient alien device to terraform Mars.

You could h=make a whole movie about any of these stories.
In fact, I'm pretty sure Black Mirror has.

준수한 상상력, 탄탄한 프로덕션, 그리고 폴 버호벤만의 기괴한 이미지.

Den bedste Arnold film?

5/5
