Total Recall
The uber-memorable, ultra-violent interplanetary adventure Total Recall is prime Schwarzenegger. As amnesiac-ed interplanetary super spy Douglas Quaid, he goes on a thrilling, ass-kicking odyssey to Mars to reclaim what he once knew and learn why the governor of Mars and his armed thugs (led by Michael Ironside) want to know what he knows so badly. Only he can discover his hidden destiny and help the downtrodden mutants of Mars. Based on a mind-bending Philip K. Dick short story, this visionary, rampaging blockbuster was one of the most expensive movies ever made at the time and a most successful outing for Arnie himself.
