How the fuck is this film so good?

How the fuck is this film so good?

I wonder whether Verhoeven knew if he made the perfect action movie while making it

Practical effects, squibs, great soundtrack, perfect film look, and a great scifi story. If they had kept these things, the remake may have had a chance. But nah, they flooded it with cgi, bright lights, digital camera, and changed Mars to Australia??

I got five kids to feed!

be Hauser

giant dick having the time of his life

best friend with another giant dick

cucks menlet baldies left and right

go deep undercover as average Joe, sounds like fun

Quaid takes your life over

kills your best friend

destroy all you worked for to save mutie scums

kill the best lay you ever had

turns based red planet into generic blue earth-like planet

Being Hauser is PAIN

Because it has one of the best sci fi concepts and Arnold in his prime

It was all real btw

Paul Verhoeven, Arnie, and decent practical effects.

black guy caring about being a father and feeding his large family

admits he's not married, so obviously doesn't have kids since that's a prerequisite

It truly was a different time

he's not married, so obviously doesn't have kids since that's a prerequisite

You're so cute in your innocence, Anon!

squibs

Bring them back.

It's a great movie but I feel like Arnie phoned in his performance in this one.

You're a fucking moron dude, the character says "I ain't even married" to imply he doesn't have kids, which is what that poster is invoking to make his observation.

The fare is 18 credits, please!

You make me wish I had three hands

A sequel should be made where Hauser personality fights his way back to fix shit from the aliens' longcon

Sue me, dickhead.

It was all a fantasy

I hate PKD epistemology kino so much

Whoa I was just watching this a few hours ago

Retarded take tbqh.

scree you benny!!

inserters ming drill into heart

2025

still no friendly Johnny Can taxis to ride in

Like Robocop, it's tonally perfect. The fun, over-the-top stuff doesn't get in the way of the cerebral sci-fi elements and vice versa.

it was real in his mind :). also, it's obviously ambiguous, but the fantasy ending and the fade to a white screen indicate a strong likelyhood of someone waking up from a dream and being blinded by the light, having to adjust to it after being "in the dark" for long. i am team it was all a dream (i used to read word-up magazine), and it's a good example of using that trope, because thats the whole premise of the movie. it's not cheapening out with a twist like you'd see in a student film horror movie.

Truth. The ambiguity keeps it interesting long after I’m done fapping to the chick with three tits

This movie has barely anything to do with Total Recall. Like most PKD adaptations(this, Blade Runner, both Minority Reports) Hollywood took a thoughtful philosophical story and turned it into random action bullshit.
In Total Recall fellow goes to false memory vacation company to get the trip to Mars he could never afford. But they reject him because he already has suppressed memories of a real trip to Mars as a secret agent. Now that he remembers being a secret agent the government offers to instead of killing him implant new fake memories of his heart's truest desire so he will no longer want to go to Mars, being the savior of Earth because of an encounter with aliens as a child this false memory also could not be implanted because it also actually happened . But this didn't have enough pew pew action for a Hollywood movie

I’m still sort of amazed that PKD was able to stretch a single drug induced mental breakdown into so many interesting books. It’s all the same book really, but he did well with it

I still randomly yell "get your ass to mars" at my friends when they're running late

Perfection. THE KINO.

SI YU AD DE PARDY, RICHTER!

See you at the party Richter.

I'm glad you don't make movies. They'd be long forgotten snoozefests rather than beloved everlasting classics.

Adventure kino

I love A Scanner Darkly above all else because it's the only one that fairly closely follows the actual book

Michael Ironside is so awesome.
He elevates any movie that he is a part of.

on an arnold kick

grab a few movies

start up total recall

wtf why does it say 2014

they remade total recall

it's not, it sucks. robocop mogs it

They're minerals, Melina.

Total recall > starship troopers > robopleb

AHHHHHH

I heard there's a Confessions of a Crap Artist movie which I'd like to see because it is my favorite of his books but it is French and I will not watch French movies

Only autists start seething about which unrelated movie is the bestest ever rather than simply enjoying.

It was made when fags had to stay in the closet

>This movie has barely anything to do with Total Recall

Don't you mean We Can Remember It For You Wholesale?
