Despite basically being one long chase scene, Total Recall is definitely a seminal terrible, totally awesome movie. Fresh-faced Arnie Schwarzenegger plays the bright-eyed protagonist, a regular future-joe who just wants to take a brain vacation. Things, predictably, go wrong when he gets over to the colony on Mars, but it’s all so terribly, terribly awesome. Among other scenes, Total Recall features: a woman with three breasts (and someone cupping them while making a shit-eating grin), a small, grotesque man that bursts out of a large man in a spray of gore, and Schwarzennegger’s eyeballs popping out of his face (his face turns into some kind of animatronics model at one point, to handle the special effects).
