Modern special effects will never beat giant bullet squibs or practical models. And nothing they make with cgi will ever be creepier than that kuato puppet

[@ashscott6068]

Meh. Obviously something that's really there will always look more like it's really there, than any CGI ever will. But there's some stuff you can't do for real. CGI has its place. I just think that place is backgrounds, non-organic shit, and, at a push, creatures with a rigid exoskeleton. Or just for fixing and improving practical effects. Not sure about models though. I mean, if they have to interact with fluids like water or fire, it doesn't work, cus you can't scale water or fire down, so it always destroys the illusion

[@SierraSierraFoxtrot]

Kuato and the alien reactor are two of the best special effects ever.

[@SierraSierraFoxtrot]

It gets little attention by modern viewer but the scene where Quaide goes through the x-ray weapon detector thing was really ground breaking CGI. Still holds up.

[@louisestevenson5102]

My sister and I always said open your mind Quaid. And 2 weeks 2 weeks 2 weeks and we do the fingers in the mouth to add drama. Lol

[@dash4800]

@@ashscott6068 you can do water at scale, just not miniature scale. But you could do like a larger scale miniature of a building and it would look fine. For example the sinking building at the end of Casino Royale is a model, the van driving off the bridge in True Lies is a model, the movie The Impossible filmed their tsunami with a model in a water tank, and of course the Two Towers used miniatures for the dam breaking, I could go on but you get the idea.

[@LordVolkov]

Verhoeven's brand of satire played straight has two kinds of fans. Those who get it, and appreciate his scathing take on the matter at hand, and those who don't but enjoy the ultra-violence and one liners anyways. Definitely check out Starship Troopers.

[@modnarer]

In case you are wondering, the director said it was a dream. And the fade to white at the end was him being lobotomized. The sweat from the guy with the pill was a misdirection, dreams can sweat.

[@The_Texorcist]

I love this movie and how ambiguous it is with its ending. On one side you could say it was all real and he did save the day, on the other you could say it was all a recall ego trip. Personally I feel it’s the latter. The fact at recall he makes a choice of Mars, to be a secret agent who gets the girl and saves the planet, the tech looking at the ego trip and saying “blue sky on Mars”, the Martian art they show him has a picture of the oxygen machine and finally when choosing the girl on the computer the picture of Melina is on the screen. That leads me to believe that once he went under everything from that point was the recall. That then leaves two more possible endings. One is the happy ending where this all is a normal trip and once it is over the screen fills with white light and he wakes up from his recall. The other is the bad ending, the doc brought in supposedly to trick him was actually legit, that there was a problem with the recall and that was his way out, he doesn’t take the way out that the bright light at the end was him being lobotomized.

[@JamesASharp]

Total Recall is one of the most bonkers Sci-fi films ever. And I love it! I was 7 years old when this movie was in theaters. It's been awhile since I've seen this movie from start to finish. Perhaps I need to do so again.

[@robertnguyen9493]

Interesting fact, actor Michael Ironsides sister was going through Chemotherapy during the filming of this movie. He would call her to check in, and when Arnold Schwarzenegger found out, he asked if he could speak to her, and Ironside obliged. He spoke to her for an hour or so about how she’s feeling and her diet, and Ironside said that it meant a tremendous amount to his sister and to him.

The Johnny Cab is voiced by Robert Picardo. He played a holographic doctor program on the entire run of Star Trek Voyager, and had a part on Stargate Atlantis as well.

[@lawrenceschuman5354]

Also, there is a fan theory that because the worker at Recall says "Huh, blue sky on Mars. That's new" that the whole film after is Quaid's Secret Agent vacation package. The main title score is an adaptation of the Mars suite of Gustav Holst's The Planets composition.

[@refurbishedtechpriest9076]

I disagree. They literally explain that they hit a memory-cap and that's what set him off, and all before they could implant the "ego-trip". With that in mind, everything that happened from the moment Quad woke-up in the Johnny Cab onward was all real. Well, real as far as the movie goes. And as another comment elsewhere pointed out, Rekall only implants FAKE MEMORIES; they don't dump you in a simulated reality or anything, so with that detail in mind, it's clear that the guy "sent in" to "talk Doug down" was lying. And another clue that I think gives things away is the look Henry (Doug's buddy at the construction-site) gives him after talking about Rekall. A very suspicious look, and not exactly in a "I'm concerned my friend is going to do something stupid" look either...

[@KeoTower]

@@refurbishedtechpriest9076 I'm not sure I agree. Though I understand your reasoning. The only thing that keeps it open for me is the way it was filmed. You never see them actually performing the procedure that popped that memory cap, it just cuts back to Arnold freaking out on the chair. So if the memory was implanted during that off-screen moment then the explanation by the lady saying she hasn't implanted it yet would have taken place within the memory as part of the story. Then the rest of the movie plays out just like the discretion of the memory.

If you thought this movie was messing with your head, just think about how every thing worked out exactly like the Recall salesman said it would.

[@RaceBannon]

It’s definitely Quaid’s recall trip. Cohagen’s plan was to put Hauser in so deep of cover that Kuato couldn’t psychically determine he wasn’t on the mutant’s side. Trying to convince Quaid that he’s still at Recall doesn’t fit in that plan at all, so why would they try to do that? It’s all a dream

The movie makes it purposedly vague, but it's heavily implied that all the story could very much be part of the recall trip he bought. He's actually being a secret agent, he kills the baddies and gets the girl, as promised, the story gets more and more fantastic and less belieavable the more it goes on, and there are a number of hints here and there that suggest a lot of the things in the story are delusions (for example, when choosing his "dream girl", he depicts her exactly as Melina. When asked about it, Arnold himself said it can be viewed both ways on purpose, but he personally believes it was indeed all a virtual trip in the protagonist's mind.

"Kindergarten Cop" was an impressive departure for him as well, and unexpectedly touching. However, one of his most underrated acting performances was in "Last Action Hero".

About the Total Recall with Colin Farrell, you should not watch it as a remake of this movie but as a new adaptation of the original book. Paul Verhoeven changed a lot of the story but kept the social commentary intact.

Epic reaction! Classic film. As others have suggested, you should do Starship troopers if you haven't seen it. True lies and Commando and the Running Man are good Arnie ficks.

The BIG question is this: Was it all a dream? We argue this point even today. Some say yes, some say no. I'm trying to bury this statement deep so it doesn't show in the comments BUT... The movie itself offers PROOF that it IS ALL A DREAM. Pre Memory Implant a lab tech says "Blue Sky on Mars? Never seen that before." End of movie: Blue sky on Mars. I rest my case. Big fan of your stuff, Capes!

Ohh nice catch! That’s what I like about these sci fi flicks. A lot of small clues and hints. Hard to catch on a first watch. Thanks, and glad you enjoy the reactions!
