Trivialidades:

The scene when Dr. Edgemar (Roy Brocksmith) visits Quaid to tell him he is still in a dream was based on a scene with Paul Newman and Ludwig Donath in the Alfred Hitchcock movie Torn Curtain (1966). Even some of the angles used by director Paul Verhoeven are identical.

Errores:

Incorrectamente calificados como errores: If you take the whole story as a dream implanted in Doug's brain at Rekall (see "Plot Synopsis"), then many of the "goofs" listed here are not goofs anymore. They are just due to the strange and unrealistic way events are usually happening in a dream

Citas:

[first lines]
[Doug awakens from a nightmare]
Lori: Doug? Honey, are you all right?
[nods]
Lori: You were dreaming. Doug? Was it about Mars?
[nods]
Lori: [kisses him] Is that better?
Douglas Quaid: Hmm.
Lori: My poor baby. This is getting to be an obsession.

Action sci-fi at it's best..

Total Recall is without doubt Arnold Schwarzenegger's best movie since The Terminator. Arnold fits perfectly in the role of Doug Quaid (definitely his best acting in a movie to date) the confused construction worker and Ronny Cox provides his usual evil plotting arch bad-guy. The impressive visual effects are worth the movie's $100million price tag, and Paul Verhoeven proved that, as with Robocop and Starship Troopers, sci-fi is where he does his best work.

What does spoil films like these, however, are people who cannot grasp the concept of Science FICTION, and refuse to suspend their belief for 2 hours(a vital part of enjoying these movies). Movies like this don't work without the overplayed violence, cheesy one-liners and stunning effects. Take away any of these elements and you no longer have a sci-fi action movie.

Chill out, check out and enjoy...
