The Synopsis is:
The temptation of implanting a vacation to the planet Mars unearths a series of events that changes the simple life of a construction worker in 2084.
Story:
The film is based on the short story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" by American writer Philip K. Dick, first published in 1966 in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction.
Douglas Quail has an office job in the "not too distant future" as he dreams of visiting Mars in 2198. He goes to Rekall Incorporated, where he tries to get memory implants of traveling to Mars. While under sedation, Quail regains erased memories of being a secret agent who has been to Mars. What a fascinating premise!
It was first optioned in 1974 and scripts for the project made the rounds in Hollywood. Ronald Shusett and Dan O'Bannon worked on the screenplay but the budget for the film would be too expensive and too special effects heavy to pull it off realistically. They abandoned the idea to make Alien (1979).
Somehow Dino De Laurentiis bought the film rights and tried to get the project off the ground twice in the 1980’s. Arnold Schwarzenegger read the script, fell in love with the premise, and wanted to play Quail, but Dino thought he would be better for a movie like Conan The Barbarian and Jeff Bridges or Richard Dreyfuss would star in Total Recall. Maybe the timing was all wrong, but luck was on Arnold’s side because this iteration of the project never saw the light of day.
Dino hired David Cronenberg who reimagined the character of Quail a bit more athletic, so he considered William Hurt for the role, but then had Patrick Swayze lined up to star in the film. David also wanted to introduce a few more changes, however, De Laurentiis was not willing to stray from the original written material too much. What survived the script was David’s addition of the community of Martian mutants and their leader Kuato. Eventually David Cronenberg left the project to make The Fly in 1986
Patrick Swayze was still attached to the film with Bruce Beresford as the director when it went into pre-production in Australia. When De Laurentiis ran into money troubles and went bankrupt, that shut down this iteration, but it sent Arnold Schwarzenegger into high gear, to snag the movie for himself.
After becoming a household name for the Terminator and the Predator, he had more clout in the industry and a proven track record to lead blockbusters. As an actor with marketability in Hollywood, he built a lot of trust. He convinced Carolco Pictures after working on Red Heat with them, to purchase the rights to Total Recall, with the stipulation that he had the part of Quail, could choose the director, and had creative control of the film, script, production, and even elements of distribution.
After seeing Robocop and at one time being considered for the project, Arnold really enjoyed what Paul Verhoeven did with it and brought him onboard in the Autumn of 1988. By the time Paul saw the screenplay over 40 drafts of it had already been written.
He then brought in Gary Goldman to put the final touches to the script.
One big change was the name of the protagonist from Quail to Quaid. It’s not absolutely certain why, but it was assumed that it was to disassociate with Dan Quayle who was the United States Vice President at the time. The other big change was conceived by Arnold who thought up having the character to work in construction instead of being an accountant which made it more believable that he could play the part.
As well Paul wanted the film to emphasize the science fiction aspects more, set the events far enough in the future for the audience to believe (2084) and tailor the script to fit Schwarzenegger's talents as an action star.
One of the more brilliant aspects of the script is how infectiously quotable it is.
Douglas Quaid : Consider that a divorce!
Quaid : SCREW YOU!
Quaid : Sue me!
Cohaagen : Perfect, my ass! You pop your memory cap before we can activate you. Richter goes hog-wild screwing up everything that I spent a year planning. Frankly... I'm amazed it worked!
Douglas Quaid : Well, Cohaagen. I've got to hand it to you. It's the best mind-[explicative] yet.
Fat Lady : Twooo weeeks!
Hauser : ...there's enough [explicative] in here to [explicative] Cohaagen good.
Hauser : Get your ass to Mars!
Cohaagen : Uh-uh, Princess. We're having you fixed. You're gonna be respectful, compliant, and appreciative... the way a woman should be.
Quaid : Relax. You'll live longer.
Quaid : Come on, Cohaagen! You got what you want. Give those people air!
Richter / Quaid : See you at the party.
Quaid : If I am not me, then who the hell am I?
Quaid : Clever girl!
Fat Lady : [smiling] Get ready for a surprise!
Vilos Cohaagen : Who gives a shit what you believe? In thirty seconds you'll be dead, and I'll blow this place up and be home in time for Corn Flakes.
Benny : Hey man, I got five kids to feed!
Quaid : You think this is the real Quaid? It is!
The result is one of my favorite science fiction films that send the viewer through a non-stop thrilling adventure. Once the film is over, you may find yourself questioning whether not the events are all in Quaid’s mind or did it all happen for real.
Pacing:
At 1 hour and 53 minutes, it’s nearly two hours long. That’s a long time, but I hardly felt it at all because the pacing just keeps moving so fast. It’s incredible. Usually my harshest critique about most films is pacing, but I find this one to be perfectly paced.
Challenge:
There are several challenges in this film and the main challenge is if you believe that the events in the film is an implanted memory or a real one.
But before we get to that, let's act as if this is all real and start from there.
Mars Administrator, Vilos Cohaagen hatches up a plan with his favorite right hand man, secret agent Carl Hauser to snuff out a psychic resistance leader by the name of Kuato who is interfering with the extraction of Terbinium Ore being mined on Mars. In order to get the trust of the resistance freedom fighters, Hauser dampens his identity and another one is imposed on top of it. Hauser becomes Douglas Quaid, a construction worker who lives a very normal life. His wife Lori and his coworker Harry are agents assigned to watch his every move and make sure he doesn’t stray from their plan.
Doug is bait for the resistance because Hausers knowledge of ancient martian technology is deep within Quaid’s mind. He was “the perfect mole” to lead Cohaagen directly to Kuato.
The only hitch to the plan was that Quaid was not supposed to get activated when he did. His decision to go to get a vacation memory implant “popped his memory cap” and set off certain protocols for the agents watching him to attack.
Vilos Cohaagen is one of my favorite villains because he looks like a normal guy. You can have drinks with this guy. But no, you actually can’t have drinks with this guy, he’s totally manipulative, threatening, cold blooded and down right mean. He’s also extremely talkative with lots of monologues to tell you a little more about what’s going on in his sick mind.
His left hand man is Richter who is one of my all time favorite henchmen. There is a rumor that Gary Goldman gave him the name Richter because he wrote the screenplay with David Z. Weinstein for Big Trouble in Little China 1986 and W.D. Richter was brought in as a script doctor which caused bad blood between the two.
I refer to Richter as Cohaagen’s left hand man because he’s not his favorite. Hauser is his favorite and so he’s always belittling Richter because he looks at Richter as just a brute henchman. He’s not willing to share any information with him and expects him to simply do what he’s told.
What I love about Richter is that he is not just your average meat head henchman that just likes having an outlet for his anger. We learn that Lori Quaid is actually his girlfriend or possibly his wife. This proves that he has been about as tolerant and disciplined as he could possibly be watching her with another man and in danger every single day for 6 weeks.
Remember, this whole thing was Hauser’s idea and he probably suggested that Lori be his wife just to piss Richter off. This whole thing is starting to look like a horrible tragedy for Lori and Richter. So when he is chasing after Quaid, he’s chasing after Hauser and that reveals so much more about his actions in the film and I love that he was given such a juicy story line.This is why he has been trying to kill Quaid once Hauser’s cover was blown. This whole situation could have been diffused after Quaid was sent home in the Johnny Cab, because he truly doesn’t remember anything.
When Cohaagen tells Richter that he wants Quaid back in place with Lori, Richter pretends that he’s losing his communication signal. He’ll do anything to keep Lori from having to pretend to be Quaid’s wife any longer.
Lori is indeed capable of handling herself. Lori is a savage opponent! She can be cut-throat, savage and manipulative but I feel she’s just doing her job as best as she can. She has the double disappointment of Richter and Cohaagen if she doesn't do a good job. But think about it… in this society, if Cohaagen tells you to pretend to be a man’s wife, you don’t really have a choice. However there are a few moments where Lori is alone and you can see a glimmer of honest vulnerability. If you ask me, she got a crappy deal out of this whole event.
This all circles back to Cohaagen because every last one of his henchmen are expendable to him except Hauser. He fights like hell to get his “best friend” Hauser back and he couldn’t make the decision to kill Quaid until he realised that he couldn’t get Hauser back. Like a petulant child he kicks his fish tank depriving the fish of air, shadowing the thing he wants to control and his own ultimate demise. I just loved that these bad guys had so many layers.
There aren’t too many layers to the mutant double agent, Benny. He gains Quaid’s trust as a plucky but conveniently always available cabbie. What is striking about him is that he has amazing one-liners and always claims to have “five kids to feed” bringing some comedy to an otherwise dark theme.
4 unforgettable villains in one film is a lot, but in the case of Total Recall it works so well to keep the action going without betraying the story.
Before I move on I wanted to highlight the fact that the planet itself is a challenge… a killer of sorts. The monopoly of air, one of life’s most basic human needs. It’s primal and desperate, giving us yet another layer of tension in the mix of all of this.
Empathy:
The empathy is so strong in this, right from the beginning when we see that Quaid is a man who is stuck in a life he doesn't want to live. A lot of people can completely identify with this on some level and may even feel like this right now! It’s a terrible feeling to have a lot of things that people think you should be grateful for and you feel deep down that you were meant for something more.
Within Quaid deepest fantasies he wants to be important. This is the reason why he took the job as a secret agent when he was Hauser. This is explained more in the short story by Phillip K. Dick and that is why he is offered The Ego Trip when he goes to Rekall Incorporated.
After being shut down several times by his wife Lori from taking a real trip to Mars, a simple memory implant of a trip sounds like the perfect option. One of the most important scenes in the film is the scene in the Rekall center because everything that happens in the film is predicted here, so let’s get into the nerdy details of this scene.
At Rekall the salesman was going to give him a standard vacation, but then he upsells Quaid on a special Ego Trip package where he can be someone else. He tempts him with options and the one that appeals to Quaid is to be a secret agent.
The salesman details the experience to come, of being a top operative under deep cover with people trying to kill him “left and right”. This happens in the film right after he leaves Rekall. His coworker Harry and his wife try to kill him for what seems to be no reason at all.
Quaid has Hauser’s incredible tactical fighting and survival skills so when he gets pushed into a corner he unleashes cold-blooded secret agent tactics that will make you shudder. He’s brutal. He doesn’t blink an eye to kill anyone or use a shooting victim as a bullet shield. Man that's cold.
You would think that this would make the character completely unlikeable, but strangely enough, there is something so innocent about Quaid. He spends most of the film not sure of what’s happening and being a victim of a sort of mind heist.
At one point I was afraid he was going to kill Lori at their apartment and I think didn’t do it because he had some sentiment for her. It also makes you realize that he’s only defending himself in most cases and he’s not a cold blooded killer, until sometimes he is.
When he discovers that he is actually Hauser undercover, he goes with the program instead of hiding out on Earth because he actually thrives on the excitement that he could be more than just Douglas Quaid, an ordinary guy. For Quaid, this is a chance of a lifetime to live out his dream and be what he considers “important”, hence the Ego Trip.
In the lab, the doctor shows him pictures of the alien artifacts that we learn are part of a reactor to create air on Mars. The doctor passes a disc to her assistant and he says, “That’s a new one. Blue sky on Mars.”
The salesman at Rekall tells him that in his Ego Trip, he’ll get a beautiful girl. As well, the doctor asks him to detail what he likes in a woman and pretty much describes the woman that he has been having dreams of. While he is dozing off, the mannequin on screen changes to the face of his dream woman, which could mean that we are seeing things from his point of view at that moment. He’s filling in the blanks of what this woman looks like from memory of the dream or maybe even having actually met her on Mars as Hauser.
If she is truly a construct of the program they are using, they may be tapping into his own memories to get that exact girl. This technology may be advanced enough to do that.
What I love about this movie is that in another movie, this would be considered a goof or even a dreaded plot hole. I loved the ambiguity of not knowing if the girl was a construct of the program or of his memory.
The rest of the story is so solid that this detail mattered based on how you interpreted what you saw, but doesn't unravel the movie.
On Mars Quaid gets a note from Hauser telling him to find Melina who is as Quaid describes at ReKall, “brunette, athletic, sleazy and demure”. She used to be Hauser’s girlfriend, but Hauser was just using her to get close to Kuato. That Hauser! We could get a prequel movie or TV series just about Hauser and I would be on cloud nine.
After Melina reports back to Kuato that Hauser’s memory has been wiped, the resistance trusts that Quaid can reveal answers about the secrets he holds that could give them the upper hand in the war against Cohaagen.
The relationship between Melina and Quaid doesn't really have a lot of time to develop except for the fact that we know that Quaid has been dreaming about her. There is already a built in fascination about her for Quaid and I do believe that they do have chemistry together. I really enjoyed seeing the two of them on screen together and once they became a team, I really enjoyed the way that they moved in sync.
There is a point in the film where everything we think we know about the film gets turned on its head. Dr. Edgemar who runs ReKall shows up at Quaid’s hotel room and tells him that he is not on mars, but still on earth experiencing a schizoid embolism at the ReKal center. What?!
I remember seeing this for the first time and my mind was blown. I just love Doug’s response to this. He just laughs it off, but Dr. Edgemar plays it off seriously. That’s when you wonder, just for one moment, what if all of this is happening in Quaid’s mind? Dr. Edgemar details everything that has happened and everything that will happen in the story. Some of this you don’t really get until your first re-watch of the movie.
Dr. Edgemar asks him to take a RED PILL as an act of compliance to gently bring him out of his delusion. Know of any other movies that came out 9 years later that asked the protagonist to “wake up from a fake reality” by taking a red pill? Yes, the Matrix. And like the matrix, Total Recall presents the idea reality may have multiple levels of perception. Now, just to let you know, I didn’t come up with that connection. It’s a concept that has been floating around the internet for years.
If Quaid doesn’t take the red pill, the events of the Ego Trip program will leave him lobotomized by the end of the movie. What I love about this threat is that it is casually mentioned in the beginning of the film that there had been a few people who had been lobotomized from the procedure. I love how this subtle story scheme comes full circle.
The salesman at Rekal tells him that he'll kill the bad guys and save the planet, which actually happens, leaving audiences to wonder if poor Quaid is actually lobotomized by the end as Dr. Edgemar claimed.
Another argument from astute audience members is that this must not be a dream because there are scenes in the film taken outside of Quaid’s perspective, like most of the scenes with Cohaagen in his office. To counter that argument, the scenes outside of Quaid’s perspective are still scenes in the Ego Trip program. The characters have to run through their sequences to function organically within the program. Quaid is experiencing his perspective of the program, but we are experiencing the program in its entirety.
However, there is a strong possibility that all of the events are real and the description of the Ego Trip program “Blue Sky on Mars” just so happens to be a lot of coincidences.
Either way, this experience is real to Douglas Quaid and if this is just a dream, he has to deal with the reality that he killed his wife and two very prominent figures in society. Not to mention the twenty to thirty other people he violently killed along the way. He’s going to jail or he’s getting a promotion from “the agency”.
Technical:
The production decided to film in Mexico City because of its sleek architecture called New Brutalism. It was futuristic looking at the time. The crew was there for six months. It was really tough on the crew because nearly every one of them got food poisoning from the water except Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ronald Shusett. Schwarzenegger had his food shipped from the US after his experience in Mexico during production of Predator (1987). Shusett brushed his teeth with boiled or bottled water and got a weekly vitamin B12 shot. Paul Verhoeven got sick to the point paramedics would administer fluids and medication between takes.
The film contains a strong amount of product placement and I know that is a big problem for a lot of people, but I didn’t mind it so much, because we have products all around us in reality. I also liked the fact that some of the product placement was already inlaid within Mexico City, such as those found in the subway station for Fuji Film and Coca-Cola. They say that some signs are still there to this day.
I love the visual style of the film which translates over to the set design on Earth which was very gray, sterile, angular and lots of concrete was used. I thought it was more realistic than many other shiny sleek versions of the future I’ve seen. It’s not pretty and it was an extension of the world being practical but also boring and unexciting.
On Mars, we had those wonderful miniatures of the landscapes. Those were based on real photographs of Mars. Production designer William Sandell researched ways in which humans could live on other worlds and went from there to inspire buildings and sets to represent mars. The sets on mars were given a steel appearance to indicate that these were man made. There were even moments where you could see some exposed Martian rock and red gravel were splayed on the floors. I loved it and it felt so very organic.
As well the differences between the two planets don’t end there, Coke is exclusively promoted on Earth and Pepsi was exclusively promoted on Mars. It’s an interesting detail, but one nevertheless.
Paul Verhoeven ran into some disputes with special effects supervisor Rob Bottin during the making of Robocop (1987), but after the success of that film Verhoeven gave Bottin freedom to go wild with his creativity and that he did!
His ooey gooey and trippy mutant make-up effects were incredible and helped to make the film visually unique for all time. Just one look at these mutants and many odd and unusual effects, you know instantly that they are from this movie. There is no mistaking it and that is why I think it elevates the impact of the film. Everything feels so tangible.
Kuato was especially a stand out as actor, Marshall Bell had a full-body cast made up for his role as Kuato and his twin. The name Kuato is from the Spanish word "cuate" ("twin"). Kuato was an animatronic puppet controlled by 15 puppeteers. It was incredible.
One effect that was astounding, terrifying and something the audience could not unsee was when Cohaagen, Quaid and Melina were exposed to Martian air and were suffering from explosive decompression. Detailed puppets were made of the upper half of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rachel Ticotin and Ronny Cox without arms. Their faces were articulated to extend their faces, eyes, and tongues. Stunt hands were then added to create more desperation as the puppets, writhe and expand in morbid ways. Melina and Quaid somehow survived this by oxygen being dispersed in the nick of time to reverse the process. It is a moment in the film that really works if you believe that this is all a simulation running in Quaid's mind. If you believe this is real, it doesn’t work, because surely there would be some injuries from what they experienced. That is something to think about.
One iconic visual in the moment was a little cheeky featuring a three-breasted hooker. Again, it’s another strong image of the film, however Actress Lycia Naff who played the character, sadly said that she found the experience humiliating and she was near tears during the shoot.
Not everything has held up over time, but I assure you, it was the very best of it’s time earning Eric Brevig, Rob Bottin, Tim McGovern and Alex Funke a Special Achievement Award for Visual Effects on Total Recall at the 63rd Academy Awards. It looked amazing in 1990, I can tell you first hand. It truly wowed and astonished.
Who can forget the head within the head separating and reforming into a talking bomb. That’s more than mind blowing.
With so much practical effects in this film, there was a small amount of CGI in it for the scenes involving the X-Ray scanner in the subway station. CGI was still in its early stages but it was used in a believable way on screen. There was some motion caption filmed for the scene where Quaid walked through the X-Ray machine with a gun and had to jump through the digital screen. However, the software used to animate the sequence didn't work. At that point the animation had to be done the old fashioned way, by hand, frame by frame.
And that scene in particular was interesting because not one time did the X-Ray machine detect the tracking chip in Quaid’s head that was made out of metal. Some dream theorists say that this proves this was not real because Quaid could not perceive that the tracking device existed until he was told about it. However, to support those who believe this was all real, the tracking device was surrounded by an interesting casing that could have been a dampener that prevented it from being detected as a metal.
It’s often hard to imagine what technology will look like in the future, but the film brought us so many fun gadgets like the hologram watch and hologram tennis lessons. I had so much fun watching those elements in action and I’m crossing my fingers we actually get those future tech devices in real life.
One other part of the visual style provided on Mars was the red aesthetic which gave the scenes there a subliminal sense of menacing dread, danger, and urgency.
The late great American composer and conductor, Jerry Goldsmith, most known for his work in film and television scoring, composed the score performed by the National Philharmonic Orchestra. Jerry said that he modeled it after the score from Conan the Barbarian (1982) composed by Basil Poledouris and you can hear that with the use of big horns and dreamy strings. There is a part of it with a thriving beat to it like Terminator’s score as well, so it feels like a big epic Arnold film score. At the same time there is a wonderful other worldly tone provided by flutes that permeates throughout feeling mystical, dreamy, suspenseful, and grandiose.
Performances:
The cast in this was phenomenal. Each actor is giving their all playing these characters with intensity and dedication.
As I told you before, 41 year old actor Arnold Schwarzenegger spearheaded the project and there’s a sense that everything in this film was creatively tailored for him as a result. His acting in the film is not groundbreaking but he played Hauser and Quaid with an intensity that felt so very authentic, immersing the audience deeper into the fantasy of the film and honed in on Arnold’s acting strengths. After having seen the film, I can’t imagine anyone else playing the role. As well, he was so instrumental in making sure the film had every chance of being it’s best, even getting involved when important sets needed more money to be in the film.
Surprisingly American martial artist and actress, Cynthia Rothrock was considered for the role of Lori. However, she said she discovered that she didn't get the part because some of the cast thought she might show them up. She would have, but it would have been pretty awesome.
Lori was portrayed incredibly by Sharon Stone who was not only excellent at playing the many emotions of her character, but underwent a physical transformation learning Tae Kwon Do and gained muscles. Arnold Schwarzenegger dubbed her the "Female Terminator". As a result she was inducted into the Stunt Woman Association as an honorary member and landed a role in Paul Verhoeven’s next movie Basic Instinct released in 1992). She also posed nude for 'Playboy' magazine in conjunction with the movie.
Kurtwood Smith, the actor who played Clarence Boddicker in Robocop in 1987 was asked to play Richter, but he turned down the role, citing that the characters were too similar and even had the same actor playing his boss.
Canadian voice, film and television actor Michael Ironside was chosen to play Richter and I can’t tell you how much I loved him in this. He has a tendency for playing villains because he has a noticeable scar on his left upper cheek from walking into a glass door when he was younger. But that is not just it, he delivers so much soul to the character with his voice and priceless facial expressions. With Richter’s back story, you can see so much of it in his performance and he believes in his reasons for all of his actions. This is just one of those memorable performances for a henchman that overachieves.
Enjoyment:
Paul Verhoeven is known for delivering visceral gore in a lot of his films and this film was no exception. I don’t typically like a lot of gore an violence, but somehow, the way it is portrayed in his films it’s not glamorized. There are no beautiful poetic death’s. It’s all horrible, shocking, brutal and unapologetic.
Originally the film was given an X-rating by the MPAA and it had to be creatively edited to tame some of the more gruesome scenes such as the escalator shootout, Benny's last scene, the death of Richter’s right hand man, the scene where Quaid escapes a group of ninja scientists, and Richter's last scene.
After the special edits to get an R-rating and 16 years in the making, Total Recall became the second most expensive film in history, next to Rambo III (1988). Now it was time for the trailer, but there was a problem. Arnold Schwarzenegger felt it would not gain interest in the film, so then he took matters into his own hands and sat down producers Peter Guber and Jon Peters. Guber got in touch with the company that did the trailers for movies like The Empire Strikes Back and The Terminator which translated to a jump from 43% public awareness to 99% public awareness.
It went on to become a hit and left an indelible impact on pop culture. It was included among the "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die", edited by Steven Schneider.
It was no surprise that a sequel was soon in the works with Arnold Schwarzenegger to return as Quaid. The working title was Total Recall 2: The Minority Report which would reveal that Total Recall was not a dream and Quaid would work with psychics from Mars to solve crimes. 5 years of fruitless development made it clear that this version would not see the light of day, but eventually the script became the movie Minority Report (2002).
Total Recall was eventually remade in 2012.
Total Recall may have influenced the line, “clever girl” in Jurassic Park 1993. Quaid says that to Lori when he notices that she is stalling him while Richter and his men make their way through his apartment building. It could just be a curious coincidence, but I noticed that.
I believe that after Total Recall, the science fiction action thriller became a blockbuster mainstay. It not only influenced nearly every action film in the 1990’s but paved the way for them to be funded. The pacing is also one of the key factors in this. It was action-packed! Every action film after this revved up to 1,000. Universal Soldier 1992, Demolition Man 1993, Timecop 1994, Speed 1994, The Fifth Element 1997, and the Matrix 1999. All wonderful sci-fi action films.
There is even a scene in The Fifth Element where the secretary is changing her nail polish just like the receptionist at Rekall does in this film. It was very influential.
Now of course, there were amazing action movies with fantastic pacing before this like The Terminator 1984, Aliens 1986, the James Bond, Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchise films. However, this brought something different to the genre… a play on reality. Each audience member comes away with their own perception of the conclusion. I think of it as a beautiful gift, because we get to be part of the story as the film fades to white before the credits.
Was it real or was it all a dream?
