I will always remember when I first saw this, late night, on TV back in the 90s... and man is this one hell of a movie when you're 6 years old! ♥

One of my favorite films with Arnold in his prime. I won't get into the debates on whether it was real or a dream or which memories Arnold should've retained before, during, and after Rekall. I'll simply say it's nice to have you back, Joy.

Marion is the only person I have seen to be wary of the cab driver. Impressive.

Fun fact: The Subway scene where Arnold is being chased down was filmed at Mexico City's Subway. Specifically at Insurgentes and Chabacano stations, which are two of the biggest and most crowded stations of the whole network.

33 years later and i still remember seeing that on opening night in a sold out theater like it was yesterday. Peak Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Next up: RUNNING MAN. Ya just gotta do THAT one.

When the Rekall guy describes the secret agent program he says "you get the girl, kill the bad guy, and save the planet". Which is exactly what happens. On the other hand he's dreaming about Mars and the girl before he goes to Rekall. So it's impossible to say for sure if it's real or the program.

Reality or dream? Any two people seeing this movie together are going to have the same debate. This movie came before The Matrix and Inception where they leave the audience guessing.. real or dream? Great film. Great reaction! And Joy is very smart figuring out the plot against Quato.

Fun fact: When the actor that played the villain “Richtor” misspelled kept leaving the set during brakes Arnie asked him what was wrong. He said his wife had cancer & he kept checking on her. Arnie invited him over to his trailer and spent several hours on the phone with his wife prescribing her an appropriate diet for her condition. It really made a difference for her!

I saw this in 90 in the theater, I was 4, and it’s one of my earliest memories. All the locations in the movie looked like the mall I say the movie too, Stonestown galleria in SF, and even though this was filmed in New Mexico, there was a lot of concrete and neon, a YES burger and a Tower Records, and as a child I always thought Total Recall was just filmed around the mall...

When I first saw this in the cinema, me and my friends had the exact same debate everyone has - is it a dream or is it real? After watching it a LOT of times, I've come to the conclusion that it is a dream. There are a lot of subtle, and not so subtle, things that point to that conclusion, that you pick up on multiple viewings. As others have mentioned, the line "Oh blue skies on Mars. That's a new one" is probably the decider. Great film either way, glad you enjoyed it :)

This movie is based on scifi author Philip K. Dick story called "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale". Two other stories of his were made to great movies you would like are "Blade Runner" (1982) Harrison Ford, and "Minority Report" (2002) with Tom Cruise.

🎶"nooooo, I'm sure she hated every minute of it." 🎶😏

I really like this book adapted movie. The movie leaves you with equally logical reasons to have fun and banter over real or dream. You two did it so very well. Very fun reaction!

They did it well, leaving the question open of it being a dream or reality :)

Great reaction y'all. Yes that was the voice of Hank, just as you thought! This film is based on the works of the author, Philip K. Dick. --- Here's some films and TV based on his books. The Man in the High Castle (TV Series) Electric Dreams (TV Series) The Adjustment Bureau A Scanner Darkly Paycheck Minority Report Total Recall Blade Runner ---- As we say here in Texas; Y'all be safe.

Another director who saw things strangely, he also did Starship Troopers and Robocop!

best scene was that tiny woman standing on the bar with that machine gun. LOL

Glad you're feeling better Joy. You're a real sweetheart. Keep up the great reactions guys. 😊

25:45 - "It's like a tumor!" - In Arnold voice: "It's not a tumor!!!" You probably won't get that reference, but it was too good to pass up. :)

There's another film called Total Recall that came out about 2012, but do not in any way treat it as a sequel/reboot or continuation of this story. I think they just were making a sci-fi movie for that one and found out they could get the "Total Recall" name to cash in on it.

I love how this movie gets you guys talking about weither it is or not a dream... but the one thing someone pointed out that I didn't realize until I rewatched it as an adult. While at ReKall the lady Dr, gave the guy with the glasses something, he reads it and says "That's new! Blue sky on Mars." It was very subtle and can be over looked if not paying close attention... It potentially could be a dream and the light at the end of the movie that got brighter could be of him getting Labotimized... But that's all up for discussion. lol Great reaction. :)

You guys are the only reactors I've seen who recognized Hank.😂

You are correct. His nickname from his bodybuilding days was 'The Austrian Oak'.

I remember watching this when it first came out at the age of 7.

I've seen this movie at least 20 times. I still don't know if it really happened or was all inside his head. Love this film.

You guys are so fun to watch.😊 The reason I don't think it was a dream is because we see Cohagen and Richter doing their own thing without Quaid around anywhere. If Quaid's dreaming, I would think he'd have to be present in all of the scenes. 🤷🏼‍♂️

“They were about to pop their eyes,” 😳 lolol

I think it's a dream for many reasons, as in Rekall they told him about "blue sky on Mars".

Good reaction from you guys as always. There's so many great Arnie movies The Running man, Comando, Kindergarten cop,True lies,And glad to see you back Joy.

Traditional practical effects, minimal CGI. "The Expendables 2" (2012) ditto "The Expendables 3" (2014) ditto

“ITS NOT A TUMOR!”

More than likely it is how the movie said. Because his wife and his coworkers acted strange before he went to recall for the memory. Which showed they were out there to make sure the memory worked that Cohagen put in him. Unless the movie starts inside a dream and even the idea of going to recall is part of the dream/memory. But that’s unlikely!

Great reaction guys !!! I saw it in the cinema and mind = BLOWN! Covid 19 PCR tests (the nose ones) really put me in RECALL mode of this film hahaha You need to watch INCEPTION now

8:01 she has to, it's her Basic Instinct.

Just like the guy at recall said, you beat the bad guys, get the girl, and save the planet.

I'm going to scream like Arnold from now on 😂

I seen a guy with an open Hawaiian shirt at the sands in Reno who had a Quato person bulging out, my mom said I was just drunk and it was a run of the mill fat guy, but I know what I seen.

6:00 "He's bleeding!" Me: Hehehehehe... oh you poor sweet lady... you have no idea what you're in for...

The ptoblem with Mars isnt the lack of oxygen but rather the lack of pressure. Every has molecule in your body/blood will expand and youd get the bends and if you miraculously survived that, THEN youd suffocate

the really cool thing is that both of your interpretations are totally valid. the movie is a mind-fuck and it's trying to be.

It can't be a dream because there is no way for him to remember events that happened in a different location. Like the bad guys having a conversation in a car while tracking him. Even if the memory was implanted he would still need to be in the scene.

Arnold Swarzeneggers most underrated and 1 of his best movies 1986's RAW DEAL.

Dream or not? 4:45 The ego trip promises that before the trip is over, he gets the girl, kills the bad guys, and saves the entire planet. 4:48 Right before they put him under, we hear the young assistant talking about the program they're about to implant, "That's a new one. Blue sky on mars." Dream or not?

All evidence points to Quade having a dream. The only thing that spoils it are the scenes were the audience views what the villains are up to

Nothin like watchin eyeballs poppin out peoples heads has a kid in the 90's

@18:54 That’s Hank (Dean Norris).

He was the governor of California too…lol. Lovelovelove ❤️✌🏻🌸

Very Good Reaction !! Thank You

The thing that convinces me that this is all a dream is the line from Rekall: "That's a new one: Blue Sky on Mars." Also, if it is not a dream, why are they using Melina's face at Rekall? I think Quaid makes it the lady from his dream in his mind and in the end he is labotomized. But that doesn't ruin the movie for me at all. It's a hell of a trip.

31:00 no bullet holes in each other either 🤨🤔

One thousandth like! 😎😎😎

In the end he stops the bad guy, gets the girl, and saves the planet. Where did I hear that before?

As a 80's kid this movie was a slap in my face, fuckin awesome, dreams into dreams, very well writing

Great reaction guys :)

Missed you two. Hope you enjoyed this.

Hey lovely people I hope everyone is healthy now ❤

The blonde wife is played by Sharon Stone of BASIC INSTINCT fame and the sequel BI2: Risk Addiction. Her bf who pursues Arnold is great in the Cronenberg film SCANNERS. The big boss Ronny Cox was in a must see film DELIVERANCE with Jon Voight and Burt Reynolds. Another fun Arnold film is TRUE LIES.

40:15 😄😄

Another Philip K Dick story, "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale."

Good point, how does he dream of Melina before he even goes to Rekall if he is in a false memory

I always speculated the reason the Aliens never turned on the air making Machine is because they were act War, it would’ve gave their enemies a tactical advantage cause the Aliens could breathe without oxygen on Mars there enemies couldn’t.

Another one of those performances Arnold deserved an Oscar for 💪🏽 😎 💯

kamusta ka na Joy? all goods? hope ur feeling better now po and God bless 🙏

waait until you think it through and realize the only possible way to put his wife, his work buddy, and his dream girl into it is for the entire movie to not be real

I would love to go to Mars. Scratch that, I change my mind. I'll wait until it has an new atmosphere 1st.

just like his action hero vacation, isnt it marian

❤❤❤

Shvartz-ee-nay-gar :)

YES!! LOVE THIS MOVIE!! Before Arnold Schwarzenegger was cast as Douglas Quaid, Patrick Swayze, William Hurt, Matthew Broderick, Michael Douglas, Christopher Reeve, Richard Dreyfuss, James Caan, and Dennis Quaid were considered for the role. Producer Dino De Laurentiis bought the rights to the movie for a 1985 release. The original film's director, David Cronenberg, was going to make this as a psychological thriller rather than a Sci Fi Action Adventure film. The screenwriters Ronald Shusset and Gary Goldman protested the idea and wanted to do "Raiders Of The Lost Ark Goes To Mars." Dan O'Bannon even wrote several drafts of the script in order to stick close to the original source material. Tensions between De Laurentiis and Cronenberg got so nasty, Cronenberg left the project and De Laurentiis sold the rights to Carolco, the same company that produced RAMBO, Terminator 2, Cliffhanger, And Cutthroat Island. It was the most expensive independent film ever made, $75 million dollars. The movie was filmed at Churibiscu Studios Mexico City. The architect you see in the film, not including Mars, is 100% real, namely the Subway station. The VFX were done by Dream Quest Images, Metro Light Studios and Industrial Light And Magic. It was a box office success, making $276 million dollars. It won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects.

PKD. Electric Dreams.

Evidence that what's happening to him is fake: - The description of what is to happen on his Ego Trip is exactly what happens to him, in detail. - The woman they select to put into his Ego Trip looks exactly like Melina. - The title of his Ego Trip is "Blue Skies on Mars", and the image on the operator console looks like the reactor cavern and heating elements he encounters later. - For a professional agent, his wife's shooting at short rage is awful, as is the performance of the first agents to try and pick him up after his visit to Rekall. - His length of survival unprotected in the Mars atmosphere is absurd. Evidence that what's happening to him is real: - He dreams of Melina before he ever went to Rekall. - There is some sense before he goes to Rekall that he's being watched. - (the biggest one) There are scenes in the movie that don't include him, such as Cohagen upbraiding Richter for screwing things up. To me, both sets of evidence are conclusive and compelling, in that they don't make any sense if it's the other way around. Much of the evidence that it's real cannot be explained if it's actually fake, and much of the evidence that it's fake cannot be explained if it's actually real. Which means you get to believe whatever you want.

If a head was bitten off it wouldn't be so strange in this movie.

have you watched COMMANDO with this actor ?

OPEN YOUR MIIIINNDDDD

There are many scenes in which Quaid is not involved. If Quaid isn't there, then those aren't his memories. Which means everything really happened. Or not :D. The movie was made like this to generate confusion ;)

He does look like Chucky

Why did you cut all the best Arnolds lines?🤔

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/erWWidWIqsrIgp8.html YOU are the reactors!😂

It's a fun movie, but in reality Mars is more like the Moon, not Earth. The gravity is very low, the atmosphere barely exists, there's no magnetic field to divert radiation from space, and the sun is so dim it's barely there. There's absolutely no way to make Mars habitable like Earth. Whatever you'd do to live on the Moon, the same sort of thing is what you'd do for Mars.

pls Watch more wandavision

Firstly Joy: how are u now? I sent you nice vibes daily ❤. Secondly, this film, based on the novel “ we can remember it wholesale,” by the late great Phillip k Dick is better today than it was in the past: we’re closer to doing this yearly 😊. I agree w Joy: it really happened. My evidence: the semi-bald sweats (a dream man doesn’t sweat that’s y Arnold kills him)

Can you make more videos with English plz thanjs

The general consensus is that it was all the implanted ego trip. At the start when he's at rekall the young guy looks at the implant and says "Blue sky on Mars, that's a new one.." It is weird though that we see events where Quaid is not present but I guess it's necessary for storytelling.

I agree with Marian. It is a dream.

Supposedly, in an early draft of the script, it was explained why the Martians built their oxygen-producing machine... like humans raised in the planet's atmosphere, the Martians were psychic, but their powers were far greater, allowing them to see millennia into the future. They saw their own unavoidable demise, as well as the race of beings who would settle their world, despite not being able to breathe its atmosphere. So, in a completely selfless gesture, the last few generations of their species built the machine.

Is what is happening to Quaid just a fantasy taking place in his head while he is strapped in a chair at Rekall? I was long resistant to the idea myself. But over the years, I've become persuaded that this is almost certainly the case. Even so, the film is sufficiently ambiguous that people can argue back-and-forth about it and never resolve the question absolutely.

With all of the stupid reasons KZfaq censors and takes down reaction videos, I’m genuinely impressed you managed to leave in footage of female nipples here! 😂

The remake with Collin Farrell is 👎

Consider this a divorce

You two are just wonderful. RRR, please.

As Joy said, he woke up before they implanted the secret agent memory. Knocked him out. So those memories wouldn't have been any part of his knowledge, he was knocked out

The whole film is the implant

Great movie. You should see other great Arnold Schwarzenegger action movies The Running Man 1987 (A great underrated movie Came out same time as Predator ) , Conan The Barbarian 1982 Arnold Schwarzenegger breakout role. End of Days 1999 and The Sixth day and Twins .Don't watch the 2011 remake it is complete trash. See you in the party Victor :)

This argument has been going on for decades. It's not a dream. The writer wasn't sophisticated enough to pull that off. It's as simple as it is shown.

Another ecosystem that humans will screw up😂
