[@jonnyyen7169]

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.

[@plexus]

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”.

[@okradiohead7430]

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

[@poluticon]

What’s interesting is that when he’s at Recall the name of his secret agent story is “Blue Sky on Mars” and that’s exactly what ended up happening. Not to mention Milena being the same girl shown on the screen when he was choosing his ideal woman. So there are a lot of signs pointing towards this being all in his mind.

[@92mkd]

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

[@halostingray87]

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.

[@yasminesteinbauer8565]

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.

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.

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.

[@Purple_Buffalo]

"Sorry Quade, your whole life is just a dream." The music cue at the end signifies it certainly was.

[@jp3813]

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.

[@Purple_Buffalo]

@@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”.

[@shiranuiaensland1442]

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

[@f0rth3l0v30fchr15t]

@@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.

[@shiranuiaensland1442]

@@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.

[@nathansky]

I think the best thing about this movie is the fact that it is TWO SEPARATE MOVIES playing at the same time. Both movies are fully functional stories, beginning middle and end, with fantastic twists and turns. The first movie is what you "hoped" it would be, that Doug really WAS Hauser, Sharon Stone was an operative (not his wife), going to Recall broke the tampering in his brain, he goes to Marns and saves the planet. The second movie is, everything at face value. He has a boring life with dreams of Mars, he goes to Recall, and when he sits down in the chair, that's the last "real" thing we see. From his 'meltdown' in that chair, to the end-of-movie kiss are the exact memory he bought from Recall, executed perfectly. This movie is genius because it says YES to both of those stories, constantly, while never invalidating the other. It's literally TWO MOVIES in one.

"I don't know what to believe at this point." PK Dick was a schizophrenic that dealt with paranoia and delusions, perhaps even a sort of divine insight (if that's possible).

What I love is it is never clear whether the majority of the movie takes place in the real world or in his Recall fantasy, since everything Recall said would happen in the trip happens to him.

[@Supreme_Goldfish]

Total Recall, one of my favorite Schwarzenegger movies hands down! Awesome that you checked it out, the twists is what makes it great for me.

[@robertwilliams4486]

Something about this reaction makes me think Brandon should check out "The Game".

[@dacm19801]

Yes please!

[@wysiwyg2006]

Great movie

[@randall-king]

Yeah!!

[@benlee8436]

YES!!!!

[@pallenda]

Two other GREAT Paul Verhoeven movies are RoboCop (1987) and Starship Troopers (1997).

[@Ahluk1]

Another classic movie! I'm still surprised there are these masterpiece movies you haven't seen 🤣 looking forward to this reaction. Keep up the great work!

[@circa81]

If you listen carefully during the first scene at Rekall, almost everything that happens in this film is referenced by people in the background. Like one guy says the memory vacation trip ends with blue skies on mars. That's all said before Schwarzenegger goes into the machine.

[@joaovitorino4637]

Brandon you've got to watch The Last Boy Scout with Bruce Willis. It's a great movie!

[@mobiusbelts3607]

Most of Shane Black's scripts are great!

[@liamjoyce7774]

Yes! Best one liners of all time!

[@liamjoyce7774]

Yes! Best one liners of all time!

[@andrewdavidscott8731]

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

[@shainewhite2781]

2:57,lol!! His biceps are also the size of MY head. Lol!

[@josefgordon7712]

Best thing ever it being able to watch your favorite movie with someone for the first time. This is gold.

[@Enrique-Garcia]

Random trivia: there was at one time supposed to be a sequel to Total Recall, one which featured mutants that could predict things or see them happen through other people's eyes. The idea was abandoned but eventually resurfaced as... Minority Report.

[@mclovin457]

I’d like to reccomend The Before Trilogy. Incredible set of movies

[@casualmma]

It is indeed!

[@ianpreston4408]

Nice video! This Arnold Schwartzenegger movie is my favorite one! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@LMarti13]

everything about this movie is insane and I love it

[@McGreasyjesus]

I absolutely LOVE your reactions, Great insight and commentary every time, but how have you made it this far in life without seeing SO MANY great movies!?

[@KCohere33]

Total Recall is a classic! The remake is a miss.

[@Jack_80]

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.

[@Josh86_925]

Did u notice Dean Norris ( Hank Schrader ) ? In the Total Recall remake with Colin Ferrell , Bryan Cranston is in that one

[@magicbrownie1357]

I've seen this move 20+ times and STILL haven't decided whether it all took place in his head or not.

[@zachmoore4550]

If you pay attention to the score it is most likely a dream. The score that plays when Quaid first visits Rekall, and appears a few more times in the film; when Dr. Edgemar appears, and later, at the end of the film's credits.

[@BasketCase-rr7tx]

I am starting to wonder if Brandon lived under a rock for the first twenty-odd years of his life... how has he never seen all these classic movies?

[@elliotthedissident6077]

I have no idea.

[@hgwells1899]

Pretty sure Brandon is currently on a Rumspringa break from his Amish community and just loving the KZbin and the movies

[@Bothorth]

@@hgwells1899 We should have him watch Witness and Kingpin

[@kohdee8263]

Yes! Total Recall! One of my all time favorites. you should check out big trouble in little china with kurt russell, think you'd get a kick out of it. cheers!

[@WhtMike2006]

1,000+ likes and 0 dislikes. Love how wholesome it is here.

[@StreetHierarchy]

When i was a kid, i thought Richter's homie was Waylan Smithers from The Simpsons.

[@OperativeD]

"I got four kids to feed." "How many?" "Aw shit, you got me. I ain't got no kids."

[@Jack_80]

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

[@tobycoops0765]

Absolutely love this movie!!!! It’s an absolute classic!!!

[@tarzapopohead]

According to the director is was a dream that started when he fell asleep at recall. Clues are 1. Speed of movie and editing changes. 2. At the beginning when he goes through x-ray no alarm and after recall there is the alarm. 3. Through the movie the Recall commercial music plays including at the end of the credits which is his clue to wake up.

[@nickmanzo8459]

The guy who plays Harry from his work went on to be the voice of Detective Bullock in Batman: The Animated Series, one of the most layered background characters in the series.

[@CADesignStudio]

Can’t believe you missed Hank “you’ve got some nerve showing your face around here!”

[@ded-pihto]

Does he collect rocks on Mars?

[@MessOfThings]

And next you should watch eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind

[@rvdthedudar9231]

This movie was the first movie I was able to pass for 18 when I was 15/16 years old. I didn’t sneak in. I bought tickets for it & they didn’t ID me. I was so happy. My friend MARC also was able to sneak into see. So this movie will always be special. I passed for 18. It was 18A In Canada in the summer of 1990.

[@mrzugpug]

Brandon at 17:49, Tony the one-eyed mutant is none other than Dean Norris, your favorite character Hank Schrader from Breaking Bad!
