Total Recall has long been my favorite movie of all time, let me tell you why…

This movie has it all; violence, extra breasts, mutants, girl fights, aliens, midgets…and at the time of its production, Total Recall boasted the largest authorized budget for a film produced by a Hollywood studio.

Here are my top reasons why Total Recall is Totally Rad:

Reason #6. Governor Arnold in Drag (Two Weeks!)

This is one of the awesome-est scenes in cinematic history.

Quaid (Arnold) is trying to be stealthy by dressing as a fat chick to get past security.

If I can’t get that face out of my head after 18 years, how stealthy could it be? Watch the clip.

Reasons #5, #4 and #3 — Boobies

When I tell people that my favorite movie of all time is Total Recall, someone almost always makes mention of 3 boobs scene.

Everyone loves mutant boobies.

Reason #2. Violence

According to The Warehouse there are 65 deaths in the movie, plus a rat, fish and Johny Cab.
I couldn’t be bothered to count and verify this number but check out this video from youtube that shows all the deaths from the movie.
