See the Cast of ‘Total Recall’ Then and Now" "

Released in 1990, Paul Verhoeven's Total Recall starred action icon Arnold Schwarzenegger as Douglas Quaid, a man who visits a company that specializes in implanting false vacation memories. Through a series of disastrous events, Quaid soon finds himself visiting Mars as a secret agent on a dangerous mission -- or does he? The film, which notoriously went through 42 screenplay drafts, was a huge commercial success, and has gone on to become one of the most beloved sci-fi movies of all time. Twenty-four years later, we revisit the cast of the film and see what they're up to now.
