Total Recall - wet a towell and wrap it...
Im a massive Arnie fan and have probably seen this movie 10+ times, however im watching it on itv2 (as its on!) and i think unless im going mad that it seems to contain more graphic violence than the dvd version i have? can this be right could i have a more censored version? (cant find my disc at the minute to check.

maybe im starting to loose my mind

Check out dvd compare or whatever it is called.

I've got the R1 version and it has all the gorey parts as far as I know but the GF has the studio canal version but I've not watched that in a while.

Re: Total Recall - wet a towell and wrap it...
im definately going to have to find my version then to see whats going on. The part int he movie i was talking about was after he has been to recall and then the guys try to take him out, loads of blood and violence on itv2 last night which i dont remember from my dvd version. Or perhaps there was a cut for tv version that ive seen a few times.

either way its a great movie!

Exclamation Re: Total Recall - wet a towell and wrap it...
Hi,

Just found this over on the IMDB:

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.

If any of these are present in the print ITV2 are airing, then they appear to be airing a truly uncensored, original "X-rated" preview print that hasn't been released (as far as I know) anywhere in the world!

I have an ITV2 recorded version so will check out the above scenes and let you know if any or all of those scenes appear.
