unlabelledView post →HOW have I never seen Total Recall until now? Instantly my favourite Verhoeven film!
unlabelledView post →Credit where it’s due: Elon Musk wanted the Cybertruck to have a futuristic, movie-based-on-Philip-K.-Dick-story vibe. And sure, it’s no Blade Runner. But what we’re looking at *is* a Total Recall.
unlabelledView post →TOTAL RECALL was released 36 years ago. The second-most expensive film ever made at the time, and among the most popular films of both Paul Verhoeven and Arnold Schwarzenegger, the story behind the scenes is as bonkers as what we see on the screen… 1/47
unlabelledView post →My spouse & I have known each other for 14 years. For almost the entirety of that time he has found reason to quote TOTAL RECALL (1990) to me on the order of once a month. Tonight, I watch the film for the first time.
unlabelledView post →Tonight's film: Total Recall The original.
unlabelledView post →Had the same experience watching Total Recall the other day. 'Oh this'll be a nice nostalgic reminder of a film I adored as a kid,' I thought. It's about the neoliberal colonisation of Mars, resulting in an oligarch class turning off the oxygen for low-income sectors.
unlabelledView post →Total Recall is supposed to be a cool movie, not a description of the US food supply
unlabelledView post →This exactly what the movie Total Recall was about.
unlabelledView post →Total Recall is my favorite movie about cybertrucks
unlabelledView post →Apparently in Total Recall (1990) the very end of the film was meant to be a clue as to the fate of the protagonist. First the frame flooded with white light and then faded to black.. This was meant to be a visual representation of an electronic lobotomy.. 😯
unlabelledView post →Total Recall? What is this? A movie about the US Food Supply? 😂 #darkhumor #youhavetolaugh
unlabelledView post →TOTAL RECALL was released 35 years ago today. The second-most expensive film ever made at the time, and among the most popular films of both Paul Verhoeven and Arnold Schwarzenegger, the story behind the scenes is as bonkers as what we see on the screen… 1/47
unlabelledView post →Total Recall is really funny with this where they get a real wiseguy sidekick in the early part of the movie to smack Arnie in the shoulder and go “yeah we’re just a couple a working Joes aren’t we” and if the movie wasn’t good you’d go sir you are not acknowledging you work with mighty Gilgamesh

unlabelledView post →Released on this day--1 June--in 1990, Paul Verhoeven's TOTAL RECALL, which, in its time, was a major anomaly and, these days, looks like a movie from a bygone era whose passing every lover of movies should lament. #filmsky #moviesky #scifi #TotalRecall #PaulVerhoeven #ArnoldSchwarzenegger
unlabelledView post →Tonight we're watching Total Recall (1990) and once again marvelling at early 90s practical effects. I can't bear nineties nostalgia for the most part but in terms of film it was a golden era of inexplicably weird magic.
unlabelledView post →Little Star Trek fun fact for you is that Marc Alaimo who played Gul Dukat was the secondary bad guy in Total Recall and also the boob hat trucker in the third Naked Gun movie
unlabelledView post →Today is Wife Appreciation Day 💍 Post a favorite wife! (From TV or Film) My choice… Lori from ‘Total Recall’ 😈🖤
unlabelledView post →Nothing proves that this movie doesn't take place in the same cinematic universe as RoboCop and Total Recall. #NowWatching Showgirls (1995) #filmsky #Verhoevenverse
unlabelledView post →watched Total Recall this week (it takes multiple days to watch a movie now) and realized it was the first time I had seen it.
unlabelledView post →I liked Total Recall better when it was a movie and not a food distribution strategy.
unlabelledView post →Who is the most attractive villain in Movie or TV history? IMO… Lori (Sharon Stone) in ‘Total Recall’ 🖤
unlabelledView post →Remake Total Recall but Arnie is a woman forced into a het relationship with a generically handsome man and is able to break out of the pathetic farce of a Hallmark movie after going for a mental vacation where she admits her ideal partner would be a sleazy brunette lady~
unlabelledView post →Just watched Dead & Buried, a 1981 #horror film directed by Gary Sherman, written by Ronald Shusett (Alien, Total Recall), with some excellent special effects by the legendary Stan Winston (The Thing, Terminator, Aliens, Predator, etc). As for actors, check 2/2 below... 1/2 #Filmsky #Moviesky
unlabelledView post →Without saying Total Recall, fav Arnold Schwarzenegger Film?
unlabelledView post →Currently watching “Total Recall”, my third Arnold movie of the day! On my only day off this week, I can’t think of a better way to “waste” the day than with Schwarzenegger!
unlabelledView post →The FDA’s favorite movie is Total Recall.
unlabelledView post →I've just watched Total Recall again for the first time in at least twenty years. What a fantastic movie. Mental and stupid and so much fun, just about the perfect Arnie vehicle. The view of the future is amazing.
unlabelledView post →Total Recall, which is both a meta-B-movie and a B-movie.
unlabelledView post →From top left clockwise: -Nazi who dies screaming in an Indiana Jones movie -Sonic the Hedgehog’s nemesis Dr Eggman -Cursed Ventriloquist doll from a Blumhouse horror movie -Guy whose head is about to explode from going outside the Mars Colony from Total Recall
unlabelledView post →Total Recall is not a great movie, but it really captured the mindfucking weirdness of a PKD novel
unlabelledView post →My ★★ review of Total Recall (2012) on @letterboxd: boxd.it/agKMnt
unlabelledView post →Still, the worst of these remakes is still gotta be Colin Farrell's Total Recall, a movie that consistently asked 'what did the original movie do?' and did the opposite.
unlabelledView post →Started getting my movie themed commissions again (my FAV to do) so I thought I’d get back to doing studies alongside watching them. I watched Total Recall 1990 the other day and loved it!!
unlabelledView post →Total Recall (Film: 1990 / DVD: 1997)
unlabelledView post →36 years ago today, Paul Verhoeven took us to Mars. Total Recall remains one of the smartest, wildest, and most influential sci-fi action films ever made. Celebrate the anniversary with our deep dive: cinephiliabeyond.org/total-recall/ #Filmsky 📽️
unlabelledView post →Watched Total Recall for the first time in a while. Remember when every actor in a movie had a face?
unlabelledView post →massive than the original ocean, again because of atmospheric loss and crustal sequestration. Even the movie Total Recall had to come up with aliens as the source of the water on Mars. 2/6
unlabelledView post →You know what's a good fucking movie? Total Recall is a good fucking movie.
unlabelledView post →Cyber Trucks look like the cop cars on Mars in the movie "Total Recall" (1990). Elon would've been a teen at the time. Just ⚖️ sayin' 🤨
unlabelledView post →Okay, so. I'm one of those weirdos who digs the first Terminator more than T2 because of how T1 goes harder and darker than T2, pulling absolutely no punches, functioning as a slasher film just as much as a sci-fi film. That said, out of these? Total Recall. Out of all his works? THE RUNNING MAN
unlabelledView post →God Total Recall is such a great movie.
unlabelledView post →You guys aren't gonna believe this, but the 1993 Super Mario Bros Movie.... is good? Cyberpunk madness with Robocop and Total Recall in its DNA. Lot of fun.
unlabelledView post →And since i posted the Total Recall one, here’s some of my boards from the Robocop remake too #storyboards #storyboardartist #film #filmart #robocop
unlabelledView post →Without saying Last Action Hero, fav Arnold Schwarzenegger film? 🎥 My brain says Total Recall, but my goofball dad heart says Jingle All The Way
unlabelledView post →On this night (20th April) in 1991, the Scala Cinema was showing Total Recall (1990), Robocop (1987), The Terminator (1984), Robocop 2 (1990) and Trancers (1984) as a Metal Machine Men all-nighter.
unlabelledView post →Quaid!!!!!!! Tonight’s screening: TOTAL RECALL in 70mm at the Egyptian Theater, thanks to @amcinematheque.bsky.social. My first time seeing this on film with a crowd.
unlabelledView post →Cheese with wine ... Mrs H and I watching the restored ‘Total Recall’ (1990, 2020 blu-ray). It’s certainly dated, and very much of its time, but its cartoon like relentless action leaves you breathless. Lack of CGI actually makes me like it more too. The big sets, like the film, are imposing
unlabelledView post →Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Day #126 "Total Recall" (Paul Verhoeven/1990) Get your ass to Mars! Yet another Paul Verhoeven sci-fi belter. So many great moments and quotable lines. If you haven't already seen it, check it out!
unlabelledView post →TOTAL RECALL wants you to think it's not smart, but it's actually brilliant. And that's why it's the superior film.
unlabelledView post →Total Recall Episode, up now! #totalrecall #mutantfam #moviesky Link below: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
unlabelledView post →Verhoeven had worked with Rob Bottin previously on RoboCop, where Bottin created the iconic suit. They had not got on on that film but, when they saw the results, agreed to work together again on Total Recall. Verhoeven gave Bottin full freedom to make the mutants. 26/47

unlabelledView post →Starship Troopers. 1997. 35mm scan. Director Paul Verhoeven grew up in Nazi occupied Holland which explains much of his film making, most evident in ST — a future vision of a Federation Army “filled with fascists without libido”; a continuation from his earlier films like Robocop & Total Recall.

unlabelledView post →San Fransisco has self driving taxis. No thanks, I've seen the movie Total Recall. 😂
unlabelledView post →If Terminator and Predator got a dozen spin-offs, Total Recall and Conan too, surely Commando is worth a revival of some sort? Either way, the original 1984 film is a fun slice of action + comedy, one of the first X/18 movies saw. Let off some steam! 4 out of 5. film-authority.com/2026/04/21/c...
unlabelledView post →Total Recall. Not a big action movie guy or Verhoeven guy generally but I think that movie is *perfect*
