‘Total Recall’ 1990: One of the most defining characteristics of Paul Verhoeven’s futuristic vision is the late-1980s style which he used in most of his dystopian productions, such as 1987's "Robocop" and, even after the 1980s were over, 1997's "Starship Troopers" and 1990's "Total Recall." Lead actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, as confused spy Douglas Quaid, was at a high point in his career, and "Total Recall" was but another trashy, if exciting, sci-fi adventure to add to his list of successes.
