    Wow... I didn't know this:

    Due to the success of the movie, a sequel was written with the script title Total Recall 2, and with Arnold Schwarzenegger’s character still Douglas Quaid, now working as a reformed law enforcer. The sequel was based on another Philip K. Dick short story, “The Minority Report,” which postulates about a future where a crime can be solved before it’s committed—in the movie, the clairvoyants would be Martian mutants.[21] The sequel was not filmed, but the script survived and it was changed drastically and contained greater elements from the original short story. The story was eventually adapted as a science fiction thriller as Minority Report by Steven Spielberg and opened in 2002 to box-office success and critical acclaim.[22][23]
    So that's the connection that Ozzy was referring to.

      Even at the end, you don't know what's what. Arnold's character wonders if it's a dream.

            It's the ambiguity of Total Recall that makes it so great.

            It's not like the Usual Suspects where if you're too slow to figure it out, the final scene practically tells you that Verbal is Keyser Soze. Everything is up in the air in Total Recall even til the end credits.

            In the final scene, seconds before the credits, Arnold's character says:

            "I just had a terrible thought: What if this is a dream?"

            You leave away from the movie with everything still ambiguous. Not many movies are like that.

                    Albie's "funposting" 8/10


                    Blade Runner is excellent film, and is, truly, popular art. Total Recall is a great flick which is cool to watch. There is no fight here.

                          Jesus Christ. This was art but a decade and a half before that also ran film. There is a reason I bought the film, yoh.
