Total Recall rocked !!

Of course, after seen movies with CGI, the special effects of Total Recall might seem amusing. But I really liked that movie.

Yes he is.

Indeed his films are rarely bad, so let's just ignore that abomination called 'Showgirls'. :p

Good film but it still can't beat Robocop!

Those X-ray scanners were awesome on the film and now we have them in real life! Freaky deaky!

I guess it's like most of the films of the late eighties/early nineties where, at the time, they were awesome but when you sit and watch them these days they seem a little bit pants.

Very true. I own thousands of DVD's of all the classics from the days of Gone With The Wind to todays latest blockbusters. It is quite amazing how far special effects have come over the last 2 decades. But look at movies like the original three Star Wars movies. They were epic and cutting edge, way ahead of their time, but pretty average by todays standards. Yet they remain great movies to watch, even next to todays high tech blockbusters.

Some of the effects on Total Recall were really crap looking back on them now. Saying that you can't beat scale models/good puppetry now that most films these days resemble video games.
