This week on Alcohollywood, we’re gearing up for this year’s latest unnecessary remake by revisiting the 1990 sci-fi classic Total Recall! In this Philip K Dick adaptation, surprisingly Austrian Douglas Quaid (Arnold Schwarzenegger) goes to get an exciting fantasy implanted into his brain, only to find out he’s already living it…or is he?
A great combination of gore and classic Arnold action combined with a thought-provoking idea or two and one of Jerry Goldsmith’s best scores, you’ll have a blast along with our custom cocktail and rules! Check them out below!

Q: Why does everyone always use the same still whenever they write an article about Total Recall?
A: Because it’s an awesome still. It should be the cover of the DVD.
It should be the cover of every DVD. Imagine the boost in sales Citizen Kane would get.
