The Ten Best Things About Total Recall!

June 15th, 2007 by poncho

Total Recall es de esas malas peliculas que es tan mala que es un clasico.

i-mockery recuenta las 10 cosas por la que esta pelicula merece volverse a ver:

Total Recall

Here’s a hell of a way to start off a movie: Have Douglas Quaid (Arnold) walking on the surface of Mars when all of a sudden he slips and falls down onto a rock… breaking his protective glass visor in the process. In an instant, his face starts reacting to the atmospheric pressure as Quaid twitches and groans. Soon enough, his eyes are literally popping out of his skull and just when you think he’s gonna burst, the scene ends to reveal that it was only a bad dream. While Arnold’s noises are amusing in their own right, the real credit here (and for many of the memorable scenes in the movie) goes to Rob Bottin. He’s a true special effects wizard with a unique talent for making just about anything cartoonishly grotesque.

I should note that the main bad guy, Vilos Cohaagen, actually does experience a death just like this at the end of the movie, but I still prefer the Arnold scene. Arnold’s face is already cartoony as hell, and with the help of Bottin’s special effects, it simply becomes an absolutely perfect scene.

    Si totalmente hecha en los estudios Churubusco. Yo sigo pensando que Total Recall es una metafora para México. Si un gringo sale a la calle sin su mascara de oxigeno, le pasa lo que a Arnold!

    … eso y la mujer de tres tetas. Seguro existe en la Merced.
