but buried in between in 1990 was the smash hit TOTAL RECALL which featured a still young Arnold Schwarzenegger, a gorgeous Sharon Stone, and Rachel Ticotin. Totall Recall gets lost among Arnold Schwarzenegger lure because of the success of the Terminator series and other earlier hits. 'They stole his mind, now he wants it back'. Total Recall = One of Arnold's Best to Date His next stop: BASIC INSTINCT, also with Stone. Dick and was a big box-office hit, helping to firmly establish director Paul Verhoeven as a specialist in darkly satiric, blood-drenched genre films.
TOTAL RECALL is based on the story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" by Philip K. Bullets and bone-crunching mayhem follow in large doses as Quaid heads to Mars to deal with mutants, ancient alien races, and Cohagen (Ronny Cox), a greedy capitalist controlling the colonists' air supply, in an effort to remember his real identity. However, Quaid is actually an amnesiac secret agent from Mars-or is he? Enemy agents led by a thug named Richter (Michael Ironside) start trying to kill him before Quaid remembers anything more. Against the wishes of his sexy blonde wife (Sharon Stone), Quaid goes to Rekall, a company that implants artificial memories, so he can "remember" visiting the red planet that is now being settled by human inhabitants. Arnold Schwarzenegger is perfectly cast as Quaid, a 2084 construction worker haunted by dreams of Mars in this crowd-pleasing science fiction spectacle.
