Total Recall (1990)

[Ben_UK]

If its been knocked down to a 15, then Verhoven needs to dig out the "X" rated cut that he had rejected back in 1990.

I have

It would be nice it the rating was stuck on. I've seen that before in the uk. Maybe ratings could be on an outer cardboard slip.

[Show spoiler]

With Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sharon Stone and Michael Ironside. See IMDb
The US R Rated Version was passed 18 without BBFC cuts for:

UK 2010 Optimum Schwarzenegger Collection RB Blu-ray at UK Amazon
UK 2007 Technicolor/Momentum R2 DVD
UK 2001 Momentum R2 DVD at UK Amazon
UK 2001 Carlton R2 DVD
UK 2000 Universal R2 DVD
UK 1990 Guild VHS
UK 1990 cinema release
See*article from*bbfc.co.uk:

The distributor had requested a 15 rating But the examiners' reports show that they had concerns about scenes of violence at this category. They also recommended against cuts to a film expertly and technically executed. Examiners considered the impact on the audience of the combination of action and violence as well as the likely appeal of the film to teenagers. But ultimately the Examiners concluded that the levels of punchy and upfront violence would best be represented by an 18 certificate.

From cuts details on IMDb

The film was initially given an X-rating by the MPAA. The following are the scenes that were trimmed to receive a R-rating:

Benny's death is optically cropped to remove the exiting drill erupting from his stomach.
The innocent bystander used as a shield was bloodier before trimming.
The stabbing of Helm in the bar had the bowie knife slicing up his stomach. Stills of this were actually featured in Fangoria magazine at the time of the film's release.
Several shots of the scientists being killed by Quaid after he breaks free from the implant-machine were shortened.
The scene of Richter's arms being severed was shortened.
This R Rated Theatrical Version seems to have become the definitive version

I had thought it was (I only saw it because I had free time waiting for a showing of the film I had intended to see), but after checking around, it appears to be an original movie. I have amended the post.

No, the original cut was rejected by the MPAA back in 1990, the theatrical is the only cut available.

[alien2010]

Anyone planning to go and see this film when its re-released in cinemas? If The Amazing Spider-Man turns out to be underwhelming, I might go and see this straight after.

Everything looks that way. Only one french review yet and it had bad grammar but seemed like the overall best yet. Hopefully more reviews/screens soon on both UK and US disc.

[jrsl76]

So will this and the US Mind Bending edition have the same extras?

[oscarmerkx]

Always good to see a Paul Verhoeven & Arnie film being released on Blu Ray.

The remake is just awful

[kristoffer]

Looking forward to this.
