I wonder if the rubber Arnold heads they used for the scene where he pulls the thing out of his nose and the scene where his face is about to explode on the surface of mars still exist somewhere

etalian posted:probably a dream given how the whole scenario and even girl matches his desired fake dream at Rekall. They kinda hosed it up though. She's in both the dream at the beginning and on the monitor at Rekall; she really shouldn't be in both. Officially the idea was to make both versions equally plausible. I watched the DVD extras, yay.

Yeah, that really only works if it's "real." Which is kind of a sucky oversight cuz it wouldn't be too hard to write around, just have him groggily conscious for it or him somehow flee or whatevs. e: Yes I'm demanding spergy perfection from a Verhoeven movie.

Total Recall is the go to movie when I want to watch an angry man waving Michael Ironside's arms around. I tend to think that the real ending is the ending of the story it was based on, in which the world is taken over by mice.

When people ask for any kind of a time frame for anything, 90% of the time I go into the "two weeks" routine. This is not a joke, I actually do this.

It would suck if the whole thing was implanted memories and afterwards he went home for cornflakes and the wife who died during his trip was there waiting for him.

if you havent seen all of verhoevens american movies yet youre p hosed up also the movie shows things that quaid isnt aware of so a point for reality a girl from his dreams being present on mars isnt a point for it being a dream because his dreams could also have been derived from actual hauser memories of her on mars Tricky D posted:It would suck if the whole thing was implanted memories and afterwards he went home for cornflakes and the wife who died during his trip was there waiting for him. gary oldmans diary fucked around with this message at 14:34 on Nov 7, 2014 |

I was watching The Faculty recently and while the movie isn't good it at least uses some really neat practical special effects, which are even more noticeable considering how bad the CG is. I don't really care how good CG is right now, I just wish movies would use practical special effects again because they're way more effective, and even when they're not, you can appreciate the work that went into crafting something and the work necessary to make your prop look good on screen.

The Rekall guy completely describes the end of the movie to Quaid. Also remember in the Rekall lab one of the technicians says something like "This is new, blue sky on Mars". The film subtly suggests that Quaid's being lobotomized.

The Total Recall remake had way too much "hey heres a thing youll remember! WOW!" the biggest offender being tri-boob existing eventhough mutants arent a thing in this movie. She showed up, flashed three tits, said two lines derivative of something everyone remembers, then she went away. Robocop remake on the other hand had a bunch of references but they fit a lot better. Plus the movie itself was different enough to justify its existence. Total Recall ended up just being the same movie but boringer and lazier.

I don't remember any specifics but the Total Recall remake had soooo many of those moments. Like the call back to the large lady wearing yellow, which then throws the audience for a loop because she doesn't actually do anything (at least that's what I remember). It's something that only makes sense if you saw the original, and otherwise has nothing to do with anything.

How do we even know that Rekall guy and Laurie were not aspects of Quaid's mind trying to snap him back to reality?
