Re: Total Remake

The thing most people remember about the Arnold version was the hooker with three breasts, and pulling that huge tracking device out of his nose.... maybe also the giant airport x-ray that seems prophetic now.

For me, the best part of the whole movie, and the part most adhering to PKD's original, might be the simple scene where Quaid is confronted by a guy in a suit that seems oblivious to his threats of death, and who tells Quaid this is all a dream that will end in massive brain damage unless he takes a little pill, a pill that isn;t even real, just a symbol of wuitting his phsychosis. His spiel is logical and concincing. We and Quaid are buying it for a while... until Quaid notices a teensy bit of flop sweat starting to trickle off the suit guy, tipping him that this is all a con job to get him to take poison.
