#Total recall 2012 full movie mintmovies series

The Brute: Cohaagen's black-painted custom Synth bodyguard, who's seen capturing Doug in the opening flashback and the one he fights brutally during the final fight.

Bottomless Magazines: Averted, for the most part, but played straight with Lori's six-shot revolver.

Bizarrchitecture: All the major cities on Earth appear to have been relocated to the two habitable zones left and stacked on top of each other.

Betty and Veronica: Lori's the Veronica to Melina's Betty.

Battle Couple: Melina and Quaid form this.

Authority Equals Asskicking: This version of Cohaagen is an ex-military General Ripper turned politician, who's not afraid to lead from the front and can actually hold his own rather well in a fight.

They do shoot at least a half dozen innocent people on accident though. With the exception of Cohaagen's custom bodyguard, none of the synthetic soldiers seem to have much in the way of targeting programs and they always miss the heroes.

A-Team Firing: Semi-averted by the Synth soldiers.

Justified as the place is actually in a Chinese ghetto, complete with signs in Mandarin.

Asian and Nerdy: The Rekall boss and head technician are Asian.

But if one wants to suppose the Fall isn't a perfectly straight tunnel, then the only Hand Wave given as to how the whole thing works is shot. This means a tunnel straight through the Earth from either origin would come out the other side into the ocean floor. note The closest antipodes to those landmasses that actually are land on both sides are in Spain and New Zealand.

No part of England or Australia are antipodes of each other.

The problem is that the presence of the Telecom Tower reveals this location to be only about 1.5 miles max from Big Ben, which is seen to still stand (albeit over-shadowed by massive floating skyscrapers) in the habitable zone.

Mathias' base is apparently located in the 'dead-zone' of London, an uninhabitable area made deadly toxic during the wars that no one visits and is only accessible via disused tube tunnels.

Not to mention, chemical weapons degrade at incredibly quick rates, and the idea of these zones being uninhabitable for so long is ludicrous. If this were true, then air currents would have inevitably carried these gasses across the habitable zones at some point.

The Earth has been stated to be mostly uninhabitable due to global chemical warfare.

Somehow it's possible to achieve an engineering miracle like building an elevator through the center of the Earth, but it's become impossible to fly or sail across the Earth (despite the movie showing that traveling and living through these dead zones is still possible). How does one build something that can withstand that kind of temperature and resist being crushed by the entire mass of the Earth? Almost as if to make this even worse, the movie explicitly states in the opening that 'The Fall' is the only means possible to travel between Europe and Australia. Even more implausible is the idea that it has been built through the center of the Earth, most of which is liquid/semi-liquid magma and thousands of degrees Celsius.

However, the heroes have no problem breathing, moving, climbing outside the train and fighting on top of it.

'The Fall', a massive elevator that runs through the earth between Europe and Australia, is capable of making said run in just over fifteen minutes (which means a minimum average speed of ~32,000 miles per hour).

Amnesiac Dissonance: Doug is a factory worker ground down by life.

After the End: Following a series of wars, the only parts of the world not rendered a biohazard wasteland are the United Federation of Britain (a chunk of Europe controlled by Britain) and the Colony (Australia).Aerial Canyon Chase: A variant with flying cars and massive skyscrapers.Advertised Extra: The three-breasted prostitute is back, and in one of the trailers, with some Adaptational Attractiveness thrown in.
