Storyline
Douglas Quaid is haunted by a recurring dream about a journey to Mars. He hopes to find out more about this dream and buys a holiday at Rekall Inc. where they sell implanted memories. But something goes wrong with the memory implantation and he remembers being a secret agent fighting against the evil Mars administrator Cohaagen. Now the story really begins and it's a rollercoaster ride until the massive end of the movie. Written by Harald Mayr <marvin@bike.augusta.de>

Trivia
The software that was intended to be used to fully computer-animate the X-ray sequences didn't work, so the animators had no choice but to do the animation by hand, using the live-action filmed sequences as reference. See more »Goofs
Revealing mistakes: After Quaid arrives on Mars for the first time and the outer dome is shattered and people are hanging horizontal from the supposed "pressure" release, the customs clerk who hits the button to seal the "airlock" is hanging on to a platform that is not anchored down, and wobbles as he grabs onto it.
