TOTAL RECALL (1990) MOVIE REACTION!! FIRST TIME WATCHING! 

@@vd89198 lord of the rings was written in 1930s or 40s and willow came out in 88 FYI

@@vd89198 Lord of the Rings is a book series from the 1950s. Willow is from a story written by George Lucas.

@@anonymous15100 the Hobbit was published in 1937. LOTR trilogy was published in 1954. And I believe he started developing the story while in the trenches of WW1

Total Recall was based on the book... We Can Remember It for You Wholesale by Philip K Dick ...written in 1966.

@@contractwork9437 the original very short story is completely different and almost a comedy.

And the 3 tits! lol

Was about to write exactly that, just checking nobody got there first. The delivery is just 👌. “You think this is the real Quaid it is”

As an 11 y/o kid watching this for the first time, I always vividly remembered Quaid saying "See you at the party, Richter" while throwing Richter's arms off the lift.

Takes me back to playing Duke Nukem (with two linked playstations), with my brother. I actually fooled him a couple of times by turning back and forth. Of course we had both seen the movie. Fun times!!

I pray Brandon reacts to A Scanner Darkly

PKD was a legend before his time .

SOO many movies come from PKD. This, A Scanner Darkly like Trowa71 said, Blade Runner (Do Androids Dream etc.), Screamers, Minority Report, Paycheck, Next ... several more ...

​@@artao5 Screamers as well

minority report

Oh yeah super underrated. It’s one of the best examples of a movie not taking itself too seriously.

Yeh for sure! All the older Arnold movies were pretty awesome. And the memes XD

Yes it's in my top 3 favourite Arnold Schwarzenegger movies

True Lies rivals T2 for best action movie imo. Arnold is a juggernaut.

Im Nysguy2003 and I approve this message.

It’s his grunting masterpiece.

Particularly when Sharon Stone kept attacking his balls 😄

he has more grunts in this then any of his movies. there is actually a counter lol

The Trifecta

I so badly want to see all of those movies uncut. The MPAA was totally out to get Verhoeven. The amount of times Robocop got sent back to cutting room floor just to get it down to an R rating is laughable.

@@Outpost31Research I want the full cut where Clarence is thrown through 50 plates of glass.

@@Psilocybin77 😆 yes!

eveyone's got their own opinions and that's fine but IMO I'd pass on Troopers

15 year old me was shocked to the core from that twist, screw you Benny!!!

@Shep Proudfoot He plays a cop in a lot of other tv shows and movies too. He's a very prolific actor.

He was also in Starship Troopers which was made by the same director as Total Recall.

Wow, I never would have recognized him, but now I can tell by the way he walks and moves his arms. He has a distinctive posture and gait.

Dean Norris

His name is ASAC Schrader!

So many great R rated movies for kids back then. Parents used to take us to theaters to watch them!

Has there been a movie since Robocop that was as violent ? It was a great time

@@MikeB12800 Even though toys were often made from them, R-rated movies were never for kids. It was just up to the parents to decide.

@@jp3813 I didn’t mean the movies were made for kids, but so many great R rated movies we watched as kids

@@hitmanhatton No damn way! That movie change things. Remember for a loooong time you couldn't show cops being murdered in movies. Thanks robocop lol.

Sharon Stone at her prime has to be one of the hottest women ever.

Yup I like her in The Quick and the Dead too

As a young boy when this released Sharon Stone was an easy crush to have.

All time goddess

Which was directed by the same person who directed this film, Paul Verhoeven

It is

He was also the SWAT guy in Terminator 2 judgment Day.

@@robertsims7828 I would have said *a* SWAT guy in Terminator 2, but okay. 😉

@@terrycoolidge9511 He is the one seeing Dyson dying and calling the retreat, so he has pretty much the biggest role of the SWAT Team. ;)

Yes, I know he was in T2 also. The strange thing is that T2 was released only a year after Total Recall, and yet in T2 he is instantly recognizable as Hank. Not so much here - he seems much slimmer here.

@@ZaveAres wow. That only took two hours, I thought it would be " twoo weeeeks"

I like that it's both or either fake or, and real. Makes it more rewatchable.

Also that the trip was going to be 2 Weeks and when he lands in Mars they ask him how long he will be staying he responds "two weeks." The description from the sales pitch is word for word what happens in the fantasy dream and what plays out in the film. I'd like to say it can go either way. But really it's all a dream and we are on the ride with him.

However, there are many scenes in which Quaid does not appear at all, such as dialogues between Richter and Cohaagen. These scenes can't be explained if it was just a dream. If you really wanted to keep the viewer guessing, you would have had to tell the whole story exclusively from Quaid's perspective.

@@yasminesteinbauer8565 if memory implants were possible then you could implant memories of events that you were not actually present for.

@@kellymoses8566 But why would you do that? That would make it absolutely obvious that the memory is not real.

A Scanner Darkly

When I read Paycheck, I immediately accidentally imagined Blank Check 🤣

So sad that Hollywood changes the source material so much that only the core idea remains. His main characters are predominantly shlubby balding men in ill fitting suits that usually meet bad ends. The films give us Tom Cruise and Ben Affleck with happy endings. Too bad. So it's not all negative, Scanner Darkly is the most faithful adaptation. 8/10.

Technically it’s a short story. Most of his adaptations are from short stories... the ones that are from actual novels are, “Blade Runner”, “Radio Free Albemuth”, “The Man In The High Castle” (an Amazon Prime series which is really good) and “A Scanner Darkly”... (which is the DARKEST, most DEPRESSING fucking book of his I’ve read... and I’ve read 25 of his books. Fantastic book. Just depressing as all hell!) But yeah... any other movie or show other than those 4 I listed are all based on a short story of his, and most likely changed drastically from the source material. In fact, the only one that really sticks to Philip K. Dick’s source material is “A Scanner Darkly”.

@@jomckellan Thank you! For sure. That movie is a gem.

Conan The Barbarian is another great one.

I'm sorry that you haven't seen T2...😆😁

One of the greatest lines in cinema

@@StreetHierarchy I’m not saying terminator 2 isn’t good. I love both terminators movies equally. However I feel this movie has more to offer. Everytime I watch Recall I notice something different. I cannot say the same for the terminator movies, not to say there’s isn’t anything of value to them, it’s my opinion in the end.

Ironside is always great. V one of his best. Not in it a great deal but so believable

@@TheGarethLusk I agree he’s been in a lot of movies, another underrated performance from him was starship troopers, And scanners.

The flash at the end is supposed to be him being lobotomized i think

@@dustinchen damn dude, after 30 years, your comment just made that very dark lol

@@Detroit_Dawg sarcasm?

The tech comments on the implant program being called Blue Sky on Mars

Except that there's scenes with things happening that he, as a character either in the movie or in the "Recall experience/dream," he would have no idea about. He's not involved at all. Were this all in his head, those things wouldn't be there, only things from his own viewpoint. We, the viewers, can see things outside the protagonist's experience, but the protagonist himself can't. And since everything that only the viewer sees supports him actually being memory-erased/under-cover, then THAT is the reality here.

For my money, he is musing on the ironic juxtaposition of the transformative effects of technological advancement with the normative patriarchal societal constructs in futuristic narratives depicted herein.

That just made my day.

The biggest argument against the dream theory is that there are many scenes that don't involve Quaid. There's even a scene where people talk to each other w/ him passed out.

@@jp3813 It’s a great argument actually, however he could be dreaming of those scenes as part of the package to give him an edge in the dream. Possibly like bonus cutscenes depending on the difficulty setting in the the dream package. And it is hard to believe that the dream Package had Lori, Melina And his friend in the simulation. How would they have that information? It’s a stretch I know, but however fun to think about, Verhoeven has stated it was a dream. What was the package called? “Blue Sky on Mars”.

@@Purple_Buffalo I think Arnold said that his interpretation is that it was real. Not sure what the writers thought.

@@shiranuiaensland1442 Paul Verhoeven said the film is unambiguously 'reality' up until the memory implant scene. This is where things start to get muddy. After all, the salesman tells Quaid he'll "get the girl, kill the bad guys and save the whole planet". The techs in the impant room are talking about a new program called "blue skies on Mars". And when Dr Edgemar appears to Quaid on Mars, everything he says will happen if Quaid rejects the pill happens (the walls - of the apartment, anyway - come crashing down; he has visions of an alien civilisation; he believes he's saving the resistance, but turns out to have been Cohaagen's ally the whole time), and you could interpret the fade to white at the end as him being lobotomised. All that said, the ending is still intended to be ambiguous, which I take to mean that - especially since there isn't a sequel or anything - there is no 'canon' on whether it's real or not.

@@f0rth3l0v30fchr15t I got all that, but I was wondering about the writers' interpretations since we already know Verhoeven's and Arnold's. There are many hints that it could be reality as well such as the way Lori and Harry were behaving during the first act.

Sure does

Verhoeven and Schwarzenegger were both involved in a movie called Crusade, where Schwarzenegger plays a Knight trying to bring Christianity to the middle east, while fighting off barbarian hordes. Unfortunately it was cancelled due to budgeting concerns as they built the sets and designed the costumes for the film. It was also cancelled due to Carolco going bankrupt.

I completely forgot about that, thx

Yeeeeessssss!

"I don't do requests." - Hopefully not Brandon!

Hear hear!

Hey Killian, here is Sub-Zero. Now, plain zero!

"I'll be back." "Only in the re-runs." Best comeback to an Arnold one-liner!

@@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself Richard Dawson, the real life host of Family Feud.

When she uses it a minute or two later they do shoot each other. Weird they messed up the first one.

Minor detail, lol!

It's something I didn't recognize at first as a kid, but later on in learning the basics of gun use, when I got into them..

And "see you at the party Richter!"

Another vote for "see you at the party Richter". While holding his two arms. Best ever

and here I always thought everybody's favorite moment was when a certain mutant revealed what's under her shirt

@@BrianNIL you.make me wish I had Three hands!!!! A crime a crime I tell ya.

Dan O Bannon wrote it.

@@northernpunx1978 I’m talking about the original short story “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale”.

@@jamesmoyner7499 Ahh.

AKA Hank Shrader

Those effects are such classic cheesy hilarity. :)

Bro you forgott Running Man, it's definitely up there with the rest of them

@@ParkerPG I didn't forget it, I don't like running man.

@@williamsummerson1204 ahh ok

my fave arnie role and acting is True Lies, what a legend

In this movie for sure. But in Commando he’s got a bunch of them.

@@td811 I lied lol

I like "Consider this a divorce."

It has to be "I'll be back" just because of how many ppl quote it.

@@themetalpig7613 I'm not sure that counts as a "one liner." Maybe a catch phrase, but I'd say that to be a one-liner, it'd have to be a witty remark.

Gedya ass to Mozz

You make me wish I had 3 hands.

see you at the party richter!

"If you need any help with this one, give me a holler!"

And so, so many Schwarzenegger grunts. I think it has the most out of any of his movies.

Why would Dustin Hoffman playing the lead make the end reveal more believable than with Arnie?

@@alexp601 Arnie is an action hero who could have pulled that of. With someone like Dustin Hoffman the disbelief is much higher, but Arnie with the open end was the perfect choice.

@@Psi-Storm Ah yeah I was thinking the reason would be something like that. Makes sense. It’s better to have an ambiguous ending anyway.

I see you too are a person of culture. "I Hope That You Leave Enough Room For My Fist," which is a reference to the film Running Man is a great track from the Triple Brutal album.

Don’t forget Arno-core.

Good trivia.👍️

Wow!

Based on a Stephen King story and one of the few good adaptions.

I was already smiling when he said "good at hand to hand". Instant thought: yeah, wait a minute 🤣🤣

And Unforgiven.

"Blondie...!!!"

Terrific film!

We realized it was just a fun movie. My dad told me to close my eyes when the 3 breasted alien came on.

This is how I feel about T2. Saw it in the theater when I was 10, and the only thing I remembered at the time was Sarah’s nightmare. So...yeah. 😶

Same, well kind of. I have odd fetishes because of the 3 breasted woman.

the remake is one of the worst movies i've ever seen. no mars, no mutants, yet even though there are no mutants there's one random woman with 3 tits. it's just inexplicably horrible. the insane thing is that there are actually people who think it's better than the original, it's unbelievable to me that anyone could possibly think that.

not "how many?", "so what happened to number five?"

Yes please!

Great movie

Yeah!!

YES!!!!

Does he collect rocks on Mars?

Most of Shane Black's scripts are great!

Yes! Best one liners of all time!

Yes! Best one liners of all time!

Yeah, underated and over looked film. Last Man Standing is another.
