Film poster for Total Recall (1990). Dominated by a blue-tinted close-up of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s face, shown in profile with one eye visible. His name “SCHWARZENEGGER” appears at the top in white. The tagline reads: “Get ready for the ride of your life.” The title “TOTAL RECALL” appears in bold white lettering at centre. Below it is a glowing triangular horizon shape with a small planet and starfield background, suggesting Mars. Dark blue and black colour palette throughout.
I remember absolutely buzzing walking out of the cinema after this. I love a film that messes with your sense of reality. I’ve never really been an Arnie fan, but with RoboCop and then this, Paul Verhoeven was elevated to near-God status in my book.
