Total Recall

Very?

I think it's part of the reason I wasn't so impressed by The Matrix. The basic idea that reality may be a dream is very old. The scene in Total Recall where Arnie is offered a red pill that will dispel his illusion was very similar to the scene in The Matrix where Neo is offered a choice of pills.
 
As well as Rachel Ticotin.

Altho it seems to be on ITV2 every other week lol, I still watch it tho when's it on.

I love the film, as well as 'The Running Man'. Best movie season for Arnie, late 80's. Made loaRAB of excellent movies.
 
Yep, and don't forget T2.

They was suppose to be making a True Lies 2, but not sure whether or not now it is being made.

I have heard tho that there is a film with Jamie Lee Curtis, and Tom Arnold & the girl who played Dana in True Lies altogether in the same film.
 
Yes I think Total Recall is arguably Arnie's best movie. It's like a roller coaster - it tarts slowly (the friend i saw it with thought it was a love story at first!) but uddenly explodes into action. It has superb action, a great storyline and a good twist too.

"Who told you to *think*? I don't give you enough information to *think*! You do what you're told. *That's* what you do!"
 
Yeah, this is a GREAT movie, especially in it's uncut form which isn't usually shown on TV. It's the humour that makes it a classic. I like Starship Troopers and Robocop for the same reason (they were directed by the same guy). It doesn't take things too seriously and yet it still FULLY deserves it's 18 rating!! A real fun classic that everyone must see.
