Total Recall

Arnie goes to Mars in his brain but his brain can’t handle it because he’s been to Mars outside of his brain but his brain doesn’t know, so Sharon Stone has to try and kill him. Then, seemingly without any thought for his brain, he decides to go back to Mars again. Much shooting of each other ensues and a lady hilariously has three breasts.

Trivia

Colin Farrell claims to have remade this film but as no one else remembers a remake, it is widely assumed that he just had some fake memories implanted in his head.

The scenes on Mars where actually filmed on the Moon. It took three hours every morning to die the grey moon dust orange.

The third breast on the iconic three breast lady was played by chameleonic acting legend Christian Bale

The film is based on Jane Austin’s Total Recall, in which a young society girl goes to a ball only to discover that she’d been to a ball beforehand and had her memory removed 

Bloopers

Quotes
