However, something goes wrong during the procedure, and Quaid starts revealing suppressed memories of actually being a secret agent.

He is then attacked and pursued by armed men led by Richter, Cohaagen's operative and Lori's real husband.After evading his attackers, Quaid is left a suitcase containing money, gadgets, fake IDs, and a video recording. The video is of Quaid himself, who identifies himself as Hauser and explains that he used to work for Cohaagen, but switched sides after learning about an alien artifact and underwent the memory wipe to protect himself.

Unable to locate Quaid, Cohaagen shuts down the ventilation to Venusville, slowly asphyxiating its citizens. Quaid, Melina, and Benny are taken to a resistance base, and Quaid is introduced to Kuato. Kuato reads Quaid's mind and tells him that the alien artifact is a turbinium reactor that will create a breathable atmosphere for Mars, eliminating Cohaagen's monopoly on breathable air. Benny reveals that he works for Cohaagen, whose forces burst in and kill most of the resistance, including Kuato.Quaid and Melina are taken to Cohaagen, who explains that the Quaid persona was a ploy by Hauser to infiltrate the mutants and expose Kuato, thereby wiping out the resistance.

They had bought the rights to 's short story ' while Dick was still alive. Unable to find a backer for the project, it drifted into, passing from studio to studio for several years, during which time approximately forty drafts of the script were written.In the mid-1980s, producer took on the project with attached to star., who had recently starred in, was also considered for the role. In 1987, it was announced that De Laurentiis would make the film as the first production for his DEG company at the new De Laurentiis film studios on the, with to direct from a screenplay by O'Bannon and Shusett. This version of the film was never made.was given the script by De Laurentiis, which in his opinion had a great start, but as it went on he felt that O'Bannon and Shusett did not know what to do with the story.
Cronenberg described his work on the project as constantly fighting and eventually falling out with Shusett: 'I worked on it for a year and did about 12 drafts. Eventually, we got to a point where Ron Shusett said, 'You know what you've done? You've done the Philip K. Dick version.' I said, 'Isn't that what we're supposed to be doing?'
He said, 'No, no, we want to do Go to Mars.' Cronenberg intended to cast in the role and envisioned the film as ' goes to Mars'. Shusett claimed that another reason why Cronenberg quit the film was because around the time Dreyfuss was involved, the director wanted to go on a different approach and in Shusett's words, was 'suddenly against his own ideas' after some disagreements. Although he went uncredited in the final version of the film, Cronenberg originated the idea of mutants on Mars, including the character of Kuato (spelled Quato in his screenplay). When the adaptation of flopped at the box office, De Laurentiis similarly lost enthusiasm for the project.The collapse of De Laurentiis' company provided an opening for Schwarzenegger, who had unsuccessfully approached the producer about starring in the film.
Schwarzenegger had first become aware of the project while filming, which had been distributed. He initially discussed doing the film with producer while working on that film, but this project would never come to fruition. He persuaded to buy the rights to the film for a comparatively cheap $3 million and negotiated a salary of $10–11 million (plus 15% of the profits) to star, with an unusually broad degree of control over the production. He obtained veto power over the producer, director, screenplay, co-stars, and promotion. Schwarzenegger first personally recruited Paul Verhoeven to direct the film, having been impressed by the Dutch director's (for which Schwarzenegger was considered for the title role). By this time, the script had been through 42 drafts, but it still lacked a third act. Gary Goldman was then brought in by Schwarzenegger to work with Ronald Shusett to develop the final draft of the screenplay.
The director also brought in many of his collaborators on RoboCop, including actor Ronny Cox, cinematographer, production designer, editor, and special-effects designer. Filming Much of the filming took place in 20 March 1989 to 23 August 1989 on location in and at.

The novel and film correspond fairly well, although Anthony was evidently working from an earlier script than the one used for the film, with the main character named Douglas Quail instead of Douglas Quaid.
Anthony was criticized for the ending of his book which removed the ambiguity about whether the events of Total Recall are real or a dream. In addition, the novel had a subplot wherein the aliens planted a fail-safe device within their Mars technology, so that if it were misused or destroyed, the local star would go and therefore prevent the species from entering the galactic community. It coincided with a comment earlier in the novel that astronomers were noticing an abnormal number of recent supernovae, giving an indication that the aliens seeded their tech as part of a galactic experiment in technological maturity. Instead of mentioning that he dreamt of her earlier in the film, Melina mentions she was once a model, explaining how Quaid could have seen her on the screen at Rekall.Video game A video game based on the film was developed and released by in 1990, featuring 2D, scenes and top-down racing scenes; a version for popular 8-bit home computers (, and ) and popular 16-bit home computers ( and ) was also released the following year.Television series A television series called went into production in 1999. The series was meant to be a sequel; however, it had far more similarities with the film (also inspired by a Philip K. Dick story) than Verhoeven's film. The two-hour series pilot, released on VHS and DVD for the North American market, borrowed footage from the film, such as the space cruiser arriving on Mars.Comic books.: Total Recall (1990).

The sequel was based on another Philip K.
Dick short story, ', which hypothesizes about a future where a crime can be solved before it is committed—in the movie, the would be Martian mutants. In 1994, producer Mario Kassar spoke with director about possibly helming the sequel. In 1998, actor-director was also attached to the follow-up.
The sequel ultimately was not filmed, but the script survived and it was changed drastically and contained greater elements from the original short story.

The year is 2084, it is the future, technology has flourished, and humans have successfully colonized on the planet Mars. A factory worker (Arnold Schwarzenegger though Christopher Reeve was offered, but turned down,Jeff Bridges, Matthew Broderick and Richard Dreyfuss were each considered and role posteriorly interpreted by Colin Farrell in recent remake) happily married to Lori (Sharon Stone, subsequently acted by Kate Beckinsale in remake directed by his husband Len Wiseman), begins to suspect that he is a spy after visiting Rekall - a company that provides its clients with implanted fake memories of a life they would like to have led - goes wrong and he finds himself on the run. When Douglas Quaid goes for virtual vacation memories of the planet Mars, an unexpected and harrowing series of events forces him to go to the planet for real, or does he?. They stole his mind, now he wants it back.
Quaid finds himself thrust into the midst of a global conspiracy to find it out, as he goes to Mars where is helped by Melina (Rachel Ticotin, ulteriorly played by Jessica Biel). This exciting picture is based on a short story titled 'We Can Remember It For You Wholesale' by Philip K. Dick that was inspiration to screen story by Ronald Shusett and Dan O'Bannon, but director Verhooven replaced the satirical humor with extreme violence, in the original screenplay, dark humor was much more prevalent. The flick packs thrills, chills, plot twists and noisy action from start to finish. It's a roller-coaster ride until the massive final of the picture. It also displays lots of strong scenes, blood, gore and violence, the original cut of the movie was given an X-rating by the MPAA for excessive violence, some was trimmed and different camera angles were used in some of the more over the top scenes and the movie was then re-rated R. Acceptable acting by Schwarzenegger, he said that he felt this helped the story even more, giving a much stronger contrast to it by turning a character who is otherwise powerful physically into a character that becomes vulnerable after having his mind stolen.
Good support cast such as Ronny Cox as Vilos Cohaagen, Michael Ironside as Richter, Marshall Bell as George/Kuato and Mel Johnson Jr. Impressive production design, the subway scenes were filmed in the Mexico City subway system, the miniatures used for shots showing Martian geography were based on Martian photographs. Excellent special effects, it was one of the last major Hollywood blockbusters to make large-scale use of miniature effects as opposed to CGI, and at the same time, it was also one of the first major Hollywood blockbusters to use CGI, mainly for the scenes involving the X-Ray scanner, and have it look 'photo-real'. Paul Verhoeven and special effects supervisor Rob Bottin had had constant disagreements during the making of RoboCop, so it seemed unlikely that the two men would ever cooperate again. However, when they saw how good Robocop had turned out, they changed their minds, and Verhoeven gave Bottin full freedom to make his own Martian creature designs. Furthermore, rousing and thrilling musical score by the great composer Jerry Goldsmith, today become a classic soundtrack. However he had said that he had received some criticism about the movie's score that 'the movie had no theme', to which he strongly disagreed, stating that the movie did in fact have a theme, but it wasn't the kind of theme that 'people left the theaters whistling after'.
The motion picture was compellingly directed by Verhoeven, though seven filmmakers were considered for and even hired to direct the movie, including Richard Rush, Bruce Beresford, Lewis Teague was also under consideration to direct around this time and David Cronenberg who had even written a few drafts of the script before Paul took over the project.
