Gotta be Total Recall for me lol

 

[Spitfire]

Another fucking hell vote. Total Recall - is another genre defining film. So I have to vote against one of the best Trek films ever. Gut punch.

If this was Wrath of Khan against Total Recall, I'd be going with the Trek film. But SFS is a bit of a let down. Total Recall is a blast.

 

[Marty McFourth]

I'd go for Total Recall here. One of my favourites from Arnie. So over the top and fun.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Didn't expect to vote against much of the Star Trek movies early on but I gotta go Recall here.
