There should be an article about Jerry Goldsmith's score, as I've seen that one rather short album was released (Arnold's face is blueish) and later a special edition (Arnold's face is now reddish) of I think one hour long, or perhaps two. Importance? Goldsmith "Total Recall" one of his greatest scores, and his personal favorite. This would then make place for the following:
Acoording to the page on Arnold Schwarzenegger, Total Recall, at that time, was the most expensive film in the world.
But it doesn't say anything about that here, is it true or not? And if it is, I think it should be on this page!
No way. Even if it was, it was soon overshadowed by Hook, then Waterworld and subsequently, Titanic. Pictureuploader
I edited some of the stuff in the Themes section. Besides the information relating to how Total Recall relates to other sci-fi films, the only issue discussed in this section is whether or not Quaid's adventure is real or not. I figured it could have it's own title in bold, and storypoints which indicate both sides of the argument could be listed. The section is not cohesive at the moment, but the main pro/con points are in there now.
The article uses the "turbinium" spelling, but on Wikiquote I found the "terbinium" spelling. Curious which was right, I opened the subtitle file of my "convience" version of the film (read: if movie studios offered DRM-free downloads for reasonable prices I'd have paid for it) and found the "terbinium" spelling. These subtitles were most likely obtained by using OCR on the subtitles of the DVD or Blu-ray, while some corrections may have been applied it's unlikely the terbinium/turbinium spelling would have been changed. That being said, it's not a direct official source. I'm actually unsure if I have this one on DVD, but if I do I can't find it. I also found some Dutch subtitles in which the "turbinium" spelling is used, but it's inconsistently capitalized and a different language, so only more questionable as a source. The Guardian uses the turbinium spelling as they mention it, but this should be sourced to a primary source. So, can someone (who isn't a newly registered user) who has an official legit copy of this movie on DVD or Blu-ray (like a physical thing, not "untouched Blu-ray image" please, although additional data points won't hurt) check the English subtitles? The term is mentioned around:
6:19 and 7:55 in the news broadcast
45:33 by a security goon
48:15 by a train passenger
49:25 by Cohaagen
1:21:14 by a scientist
1:35:45 by Quaid
1:40:53 by Cohaagen
Just in case the spelling wouldn't be consistent in the subtitles either I listed all mentions. Television broadcasts or streaming services are NOT acceptable for this: [1][2]. So it must be a DVD or Blu-ray. Preferably a US release as I know that for example Dutch DVD distributors frequently burn Dutch subtitles into the image as their hobby, making too many DVDs I bought virtually unwatchable and letterboxed DVDs sadly also exist. I wouldn't really trust them to never use pirated subs either considering the level of amateurism. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 11:05, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
