BLUE SKIES ON MARS: A Total Recall Fanedit by Jorge
What is it about? A chronological re-order of the entire film for a fresh new ride.
Original film name: TOTAL RECALL (1990)
Film studio name: Tri Star
Fan Edit Released: July 2010
Original Runtime: 113 mins.
New Runtime: 83 min
DVD - Features:
Menus 16.9
Scene Selection Menus
presented in 2:35:1
Audio: surround sound 5.1 mix (my first! i lost my dolby cherry)
Concept: It takes the briefest of glances at Arnold Schwarzenegger's acting career, which includes "Predator," "The Running Man," "Commando," "Twins" and "Red Heat,"
to realize that "Total Recall" ranks among his finest work. "Total Recall" is full of the musclebound action that Arnold's fans enjoy.
It also means that this Mars-bound movie is violent, nasty and expensive.
How violent? Try a bloody shootout on a Martian escalator between Arnold and armed goons, in which Arnold holds up the cadaver of a slain bystander
as a bullet shield; or savor the climactic fighting scene in which the musclebounder causes an adversary's forearms to be severed between a rising elevator and a rock ledge.
In the midst of all the gunfire, the bone-crunching and the Martian local color (a collection of latex-faced mutants), the producers try desperately to come up with that anthemic Arnold retort,
the sardonic (and of course, mispronounced) one-liner that will please the crowd. There are plenty of them.
But I kept wondering if there might be another film lurking in there. One less action oriented and more mind-altering fun.
So the attempt is to trim away the over the top action.
Gone is much of Michael Ironside's scenery-chewing Richter. he's still in the film but he's menacing in the background.
And since this film involves memories and perception of reality, what better way to really stir things up than with the good ol' mementomix.
So just as a reminder: color is the present and B/W is the future in backwards chronology.
Hope this fanedits creates a memory of a lifetime.
WARNING!!!: This fanedit is not for everyone. It's not intended as a "fix" but as a new 'ride'.
if you didn't enjoy the broken chronology of MEMENTO or thought THE DARK KNIGHT:Remixed by jorge didn't work
then I would suggest you skip this fanedit because it's more of the same.
Also, many enjoy the Over-the-top camp humor and action. That is also mostly gone in this fanedit.
Is anyone left? Well then you might enjoy this re-arranged, tone down version.
Don't say i didn't warn you.
