Arnold Schwarzenegger: 5 Awesome Performances & 5 That Sucked

3. Douglas Quaid - Total Recall (1990)

Arnie has been in a handful of iconic movies, that have since been committed into the annals of legend, and Total Recall is without a doubt one of them. Total Recall is almost unmatchable in terms of sheer entertainment value and Arnie, here playing the amnesiac super-spy Douglas Quaid, is as indomitable a presence as ever. You might think Colin Farrell would give a better performance in his take on the character, considering that Arnie can€™t actually €˜act€™ very well, in the traditional sense of the word, but that€™s just not the case. There really is a place for an actor like Schwarzeneggar, and it€™s in a movie like Total Recall. And if it weren€™t for this picture, we€™d have never have gotten several absolutely classic Arnie one-linrs; including €œSee you at de paahty, Richter€ and €œConsider it a divorce€. And that just wouldn€™t do.
