re: Better Schwarzenegger film: Total Recall or Predator?

Predator >>>>> Total Recall

I still enjoy Total Recall when it's on, but Predator is probably a top 3 action movie of all time in my book. I still yell "Get to da choppa!" to my kids when we're in a hurry.

Predator is up there with die hard on the Mount Rushmore of action movies.

Total recall is great. Just thinking about it has the bar scene music stuck in my head. With the risk of sounding like Bill Simmons, it’s the last movie of the 80s action movies. However predator defines 80s action movies

I’d put T2 above Predator but hell maybe both of them are up there

80s action were the peak of action movies so yeah definitely possible.

I’ll get into hot take territory. Predator is better than T2.

Sharon Stone was such a smoke

Predator definitely


But 1990 Sharon Stone in late 1980s era leotards....

Both movies are terrible. If I have to make a choice, its Predator, because of the cast. Total Recall is terrible in every way. Cheezy, dated, terrible effects and premise. His accent was still pretty thick in both.

terrible effects

I couldn’t disagree more. It’s really the last movie to us practical effects and it’s a masterpiece with them.

Total recall is way more enjoyable to watch then cartoons we get now with all the cgi

He must be trolling. Total Recall won the Oscar for best effects that year and with the exception of when Quaid removes his disguise...they still hold up pretty well.

Both are great but I'm gonna go with Predator.
