Was everything on Mars real or a dream?

It’s really awesome to see people still enjoying this movie. What is funny about it is that it is a paradox because there’s evidence to support that everything was real and there’s also evidence to support that it was fake but both can’t be true. But this movie had literally everything you would ever want in a sci-fi, action movie.

The number of times I hear someone say "two weeks" and think of this movie is off the scale😂😂

To this day, I still use "I've got 5 kids to feed" as often as I can in any situation. About 1 in 5 people get the reference.

LOL, I love how confused you two were the whole time, and how you just kept getting more and more mindblown.. 🤣

You reaction to the debugging and... unmasking was everything I could have hoped for. During the big villain death scene Hannah is grinning like mad and Tori is covering her face in shock... the 2 reactions couldn't get more different. Why I enjoy the two person reaction format you use so much.

Adapted from the novelette "We Can Remember it for You Wholesale" is one of many Phillip K. Dick publications that became films ie -Minority Report, Next, Blade Runner, The Adjustment Bureau, and Paycheck to name a few.

Total Recall would have never happened if Swarzennger had not made his most underrated movie ever. 1986'S RAW DEAL it layed the foundation for Total Recall and it's very cool and in my top 5 Swarzennger movie list.

LoL!! My wife and I love saying "two weeks!" at certain times! Love the reaction!

OMG another of my favorite Arnold films!!!!!! I'm glad you're enjoyed it!

any movie first reaction with HANNAH is a joy to watch ,love her expressions.good movie by the way.glad they are doing these late 80s-90 movies they were the best years for film not like todays garbage.,

Awesome reactions from Tori and Hannah, to the amazing original version of Total Recall! I'm so glad that you both enjoyed this crazy sci-fi movie, that makes you doubt what's going on, from one minute to the next. And remember " Two Weeks! " :)

Me and my brother got really baked in the parking lot before seeing this theatrically, to say our fried out brains were blown would be a huge understatement.😂👍

The guy who did the effects for this did the effects for The Thing. I think it's all in his head, everything he encounters is inserted into his mind before he gets in the chair. His mind spins a narrative tailored to his life so it can't tell its all a dream. Plus the score does this little whistle at the very beginning and end. Anywho, that's my take on it.

I swear your reactions make my day! There are so many mind blowing moments in this film that are truly unforgettable. That’s why Total Recall is still a classic more than 30 years later. Your reactions to Kuato’s reveal, the bug removal from Arnold’s head, and “two weeks” had me burst out laughing! Thank you both for these memorable reactions. You girls are awesome!

The reasons to believe it was all in his head are because everything that someone from Recall told him would happen, did happen. At the Recall offices: Suite at the Hilton, Secret Agent, deep undercover, people trying to kill him everyone,meet a beautiful exotic woman, get the girl, kill the bad guys, save the planet, Sitting in the chair: 2 headed monster (The psychic inside the other person), the alien reactor is shown on screen, the whole adventure is called Blue Skies on Mars, "He's not going to want to come back" In the hotel room when the doctor visits, the consequences if he kills the doctor: One minute, you'll be the savior of the rebel cause, the next minute Vorhagens bosom buddy. You'll even have fantasies about alien civilizations

Your reactions to Arnies movies are pure fun, so I'm glad you like his stuff and there're so much movies ready for more First Time Watching Reactions like this one in future :)

The basis for this film is a book written by Philip K. Dick. Here is a SHORT LIST of his works that have been turned into television shows or films. 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 The man had an incredible intellect. Great reaction / review. In fact y'all may have had the best reaction to this film I've ever experienced. AWESOME!!! What you have to ask yourself is: Did I just watch reality or...??? As we say here in Texas; Y'all be safe.

"Everyone else is expendable..." Now that's a reaction I'm looking forward to... I'd buy that for a dollar..."

Super reaction Hannah and Tori 😊! Another classic we used to watch on VHS as kids 🙈. Hope you awesome ladies complete the Paul Verhoeven Trinity with "Starship Troopers" (1997).

I havent laughed so hard in a while. You guys are hilarious. This movie is just one shocking scene to the next.

"It's like a space war..." Some might call that a Star War...

Amazing classic Total Recall directed by Paul Verhoeven starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sharon Stone, Ronny Cox, Rachel Ticotin and Michael Ironside. The remake was released in 2012 Total Recall starring Colin Farrell, Jessica Biel and Kate Beckinsale. In my opinion the original is my favorite😊👍👍👍👍

Those Johnny Cabs are serious NIGHTMARE FUEL!

In 2 weeks, you will open your mind! 😂🤣😂🤣

There is a musical piece on the original soundtrack CD of Total Recall which is not in the released movie. That particular track is called " End of a dream" which suggests that the whole story is a dream.

The guy in the bar on mars with the messed up head/face is Dean Norris (Hank Schrader from Breaking Bad).

3:12 "Wooooah!!" 😁 Isn't it amazing that a 30+ year old movie can have this reaction to a special effect!

The entire film, from start to finish, is the recall implanted memory. The real Quaid is just a normal guy, probably nothing like Arnold. He's more like the guy too old to climb the mountains of Mars, but wants to have the memories of doing it. Do you think he was young and fit, able to climb in his memory, or had to still be old and crippled? It's a vacation from himself, of course he's going to look like Arnold in his recall memory.

You should add the Running Man movie to your list, one of my favorite Arnold movies.

8:50 I saw this movie when it first came out, and I never dreamed I'd live to see the day that something like a Johnny Cab was actually possible, but we have them! They have them just starting this year in major cties, mostly only at night. Granted, they don't have a robot driver, but still.

It's great to see these older films still surprising people! Grew up watching them and it's so much fun watching first time reactions! If you want another crazy action film from Arnold I suggest The Running Man.

This film is great at making you question what is real. When Dr Edgemar turns up on Mars he basically spoils the rest of the movie by telling Quaid exactly what will happen

17:31-Thought u girls were gonna barf for a sec LOL!! 31:03..Not bad FX for a 25 year old movie, huh? Props to Rachel Ticotin (Mellina) She paved the way for Latina leading ladies in Hollywood..."Con Air" "Falling Down" "Fort Apache the Bronx" "Don Juan Demarco", "Man on Fire" Etc.-More than 30 films-Action, Drama, Comedy-She could do it all. I knew you'd enjoy this one--It was a big time hit when it came out!

I love these two together. The kitty is cute too

Once again you ladies take me back to my childhood.

"Total Recall" was a crazy ride at the theaters. You have to pay attention rather early or you get confused really quick until the pieces start to unravel. Michael Ironside is delightful and threatfully brooding (well he generally is in most roles) as Richter and Ronnie Cox, who was in Robocop also directed by Paul Verhoven as Dick Jones... is just out right evil as Cohagen which is sort of an extension of Dick Jones, just more cruel and twisted. Sharon Stone and Rachel Ticotin.... 'nuff said. Your reaction to Kuato was priceless. But still pales in comparison to your reaction during "The Thing", which is probably the wildest reaction to that film to date. HAHA!!

The phrase you wanted was, "Get the girl, kill the baddies, save the entire planet." My old mates PWEI even used it in a song (before their main man left to make amazing movie soundtracks like Requiem For A Dream).

*Tori, open your mind* 😜😉 If there's one actor that can pull a great bad ass villain, it's Michael Ironside 🤘😃🙂 He is one of the actors considered for the role of RoboCop before Peter Weller got cast.

First he was Houser, then he became Douglas and infiltrated the mutants. When he is being prepped for the recall holiday and is screaming you blew my cover it’s not Douglas anymore, it’s Houser, then they wiped his memory again and he went back to being Douglas. When they say they are worried he gets total recall they are worried he will remember he is Houser.

You girls crack me up. You don't censor your thoughts.

Hey Ladies I've watched a number of these reactions to this movie (mainly because it's my all-time favourite movie. And I don't think I have EVER seen anyone recognise Melina when she first appears at the Mars Bar scene and say that she was on the monitors back at Total Rekall when Arnie is in the chair selecting his 'ideal' woman. Not only that, but you both realised that! Also at the end, not everyone gets that hint either. As a super-fan of this movie I have not just the PKD original short but also the movie tie-in book written by Piers Anthony (an award-winning writer in his own right) and there is a little more inner depth in the book, perhaps because it might have been written on the original script before shooting changes or cutting and editing movie versions. I have the video game too lol So yep, This movie is like my version of what Star Wars is to everyone else. So it's great to see this reaction where you are both lost as the script intended, yet also fully aware of the twists and hints! Brilliant! Anyway, Fantastic reaction, thanks so much for this! Loving your other reactions too (with Max and Toy as well) and hope your channel continues to grow! Cheers!

The head attached to my torso wants to say "start the re-action".

Possibly the most Violent yet Entertaining of Arnolds movies. The bottom line is it's up to the viewer to decide whether the whole thing is either a Dream or Reality. On the scientific side Mars atmosphere is less than 1% that of Earth and 95% CO2, practically non-existant.

A couple of the mutant martians are actual human conditions that are taken to the ultimate extreme: the three breasted hooker: Supernumerary nipple; Kuato: Human Chimera

Just watched this one and you guys seemed to really like it! I'm glad because Total Recall is one of my favorite movies!

Philip K Dick has written a lot of iconic Sci-Fi books like "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", ie, the movie "Blade Runner." The movie is from the book, "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" by Philip K Dick.

It's lovely to see the two of you working together again. I think the two of you go well together. Great reaction. Thanks!

I loved watching this movie as a kid. Loved the reaction like always. One if my favorite Arnold movies like Terminator movies, Kindergarten Cop, Last Action Hero So many one liners lol I liked the 2012 remake with Colin Farrell. A lot of people didn’t like it but I liked the remake lol Hannah good pun screw you lmao 🤣

Fun reactions I remember seeing this with my Dad Love it This movie is a fun crazy ride. I remember being so shocked by both Lori (Sharon Stone) then cab driver Benny's betrayal. I hope memory implanting/erasing never becomes possible. It's a very bad idea. This technology would cause serious damage to people's lives and definitely be used for bad purposes. No Thanks.

Honestly all the PKD adaptations are awesome in some way : )

"Home in time for corn flakes." I think he used to do Kellogg's Corn Flakes commercials.

Yeah... I remember that movie being so gory in the 90s... Especially in scenes like when he's using the guy as a human shield on the escalator! 😬🤣. Then Richter just steps on it! 😳

I really hope Paul Verhoeven comes back to direct at least one more big hit in Hollywood, the guy is a genius at political satire and does some banging action movies. That poor dude on the escalator! 🤣

Not only was JohnnyCab voiced by the excellent Robert Picardo (as someone has mentioned), the puppets face & expressions were directly modelled off his likeness too. For more Picardo head-warping effects, check him out as "The Cowboy" in Innerspace - another classic film!

YES!!! One of my favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger movies! Before Schwarzenegger was cast as Douglas Quaid, Patrick Swayze, James Caan, Michael Douglas, Tom Selleck, Jeff Bridges, Richard Dreyfuss, Dennis Quaid, and Matthew Broderick were considered. David Cronenberg, director of Body Horror films like SCANNERS, THE FLY, and Videodrome was going to direct the film in 1984 as a psychological thriller rather than a Sci Fi Action Adventure. Producer Dino De Laurentiis bought the rights to the film, and hired ALIEN screenwriters Dan O'Bannon, Ronald Shusset, along with Gary Goldman to write the script, but Cronenberg hated the first draft, while Shusset wanted to do "Raiders Of The Lost Ark Goes To Mars". Tensions between Cronenberg and Laurentiis got so nasty, Cronenberg left the project in 1985 and Laurentiis sold the rights to Carolco the same company that produced RAMBO, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Cliffhanger, And Cutthroat Island. They filmed the movie on location at Churibiscu Studios in Mexico City. Schwarzenegger did most of his own stunts in the movie. Like PREDATOR, half the cast and crew got food poisoning. Thankfully Schwarzenegger and Verhoeven got through it during filming. It was made on a $75 million dollar budget, making it the most expensive independent film at the time. The VFX were done by Industrial Light And Magic, Dream Quest Images , and Metrolight Studios, which would win Best Visual Effects at the 1991 Academy Awards. The film was a box office success making $270 million dollars. Its now regarded as one of the best Sci-fi Action movies ever made.

Just gotta bug the sci-fi, but even if we could make Mars atmosphere compositionaly similar to earths, it would be far from having the surface atmospheric pressure suitable for human respiration rates

How long do you plan to stay on Mars? Two weeks. Did you bring any fruits or vegetables on planet? Two weeks, two weeks! Hope you two enjoyed the movie!

Two weeks-been about three decades for me now and never gets old 😂😂😂

35:00 👏 I’ve watched this dozens of times and never made that connection!

Him murdering innocent people as soon as he gets to Mars has always bugged me. This made me wonder what was actually real.

Glad to see the two of you back together. This one was a hilarious expression overload. Hope the both of you have recovered from this one. Loved it. See you in two weeks, lol.

37:36 - "YOU'VE JUST BEEN DIS-ARMED!!"

The Johnnycab driver is played by Robert Picardo who played the Doctor on Star Trek Voyager

36:40 Adorable seeing the worry over Arnold being lit up. Great reaction ladies.👌Such a memorable and quotable film.

This movie had me until realized the main character was lobotomized at the end (hence the fade to white (and confirmed on the audio commentary track of the DVD)). Still, an exciting movie.

You two are great fun! Lovely vibes. Lonely Grandpa here gets a wonderful feeling like you were my grandkids. You won't know that for 40 years but it's a fuzzy warm awww aren't they great? kinda buzz Thanks

I like to think the sweaty Recall guy was telling the truth. And that Arnold imagined the sweat right as he decided to reject the pill and the truth (to give himself "proof" so he could justify continuing the fantasy). Then his real wife cries as she turns back until the badass fantasy wife and the wall explodes for no reason as all the bad guys pick up right where the fantasy let off.

cool movie! I review it sometimes, one of the best films with Arnold!

27:52 tony the mutant with the meat on his face, thats hank from breaking bad.

Great reaction ladies! Of course everything that happened to Hauser/Quaid in the movie was real. We know this because we frequently saw scenes from a perspective he didn't have and that he wasn't in. The movie is trippy as heck and has a lot of Verhoeven's trademark gruesome FX and deaths. It's one I remember fondly enough but never feel the need to rewatch as my soul goes through the equivalent of a LOT of Tori's facial expressions remembering the more gruesomely brutal scenes. 😀 And, Max, if that was you doing the amazing editing job, great work as always on the Tori's Facial Expressions zoom! 😀

i love your kitty kat, not bothered by voices :D

Arnie's biggest line ...Aaargg

The boss guy is the bad guy in robocop

One of my favorite sci fi films of all time!!! Thx for the reaction, such a unique movie.

I love their reactions to FX and action.

Another great reaction girls. One of the Best sf movie 80/90, very interesting story and climat, plot if he is in real life or all of this is a dream... Good cast, FX, funny moments. Hanna your face expresion when Arnold took of the womens mask 🤪 and then when she say's with a smile 'get ready for suprise' 😃, nice one he he Wish you both well and see you in another reaction 😊... And remember two weeks 🤣

You would think that guns would be banned on Mars with the risk of puncturing the life support walls.

Sharon Stone was massive in the 90s. Basic Instinct.

No other characters spoil a movie that they're in quite like Rekall's employees.

Watching Total Recall was an unexpected experience with its many plot twists throughout the movie. One of the best ever made, for sure!

JohhnyCab, the self-driving AI of the future....all voiced by Robert Picardo. :D

The " open your mind " part was sampled in a Mudvayne song on the album LD50

I like how you noted that the visual framing with the brutalist architecture emphasizes the oppressive, dystopian feeling of the film, and immediately thought of the ethical and psychological consequences of such technology. Of course, as you also noted - we can't be sure what we were watching wasn't an implanted memory. It hints at a general epistemic question: how much can we trust our own memories at any time, especially when for all we know, technology to implant constructed memories is commonplace? Apropos geometric framing and its meaning - my deep-cut suggestion for a movie to watch would be Fritz Lang's "M". It's an absolute classic of German Expressionist cinema. It pioneered several cinematographic techniques and technologies. It has powerful writing, great acting from some of the finest actors of the time (Peter Lorre, Gustav Gründgens) - and it was formative for the visual language of Film Noir.

Oh dang I am gonna have Arnies voice in my head all day now. "GET OUT OF HERE!" LOL

This movie can watch every day

Great reaction ladies.

33:39 Verhoeven was the first who shoot vertical videos

When you said you don't know what's real, that's the whole point of the movie. Based on a short story, "We can remember it for you wholesale" by Phillip K. Dick (yes, his real name). However there's a scene near the end every woman gets rightly pissed at, pity you skipped over it.

I think this is the best reaction to this movie yet. Both of you were spot on from beginning to end. I was very entertained by the mix. I wonder how you'd handle the last of what I call the Verhoeven Trilogy: Robocop, Total Recall, Starship Troopers.

My friends and I have been joking about '2 weeks' for the last 30 years.

The dude who played kuato is in a movie called stand by me definitely recommend it if you haven’t seen it

14:26 Subtle Terminator Reference right there.

that nice watch tool he had was a hologram :)

Loved, "Get to the reactor!"

Loved this reaction! Most of Philip K. Dick's work shared similar themes about reality and self identity. Since you liked this one, the other major films based on Dick's stories are: Minority Report with Tom Cruise. Blade Runner with Harrison Ford. Minority Report is just a great film in general, so it's definitely worth watching. Blad Runner is the foundation for the cyberpunk aesthetic found in games and films and it's often considered a science fiction masterpiece. A few minor films based on Dick's work are: Screamers Paycheck with Ben Affleck. The Adjustment Bureau with Matt Damon. A Scanner Darkly with Keanu Reeves. You could skip them entirely if you want to, but they're certainly not terrible films.

Run the movies total recall classic

The cat should be featured more on the channel!

Ladies Remember that these special effects were practical with little CGI in 1990.

A Scanner Darkly needs more attention, it's another great adaptation of a Philip K Dick story.
