Original Total Recall Appraisal

Total Recall (1990) VHS Tape

This item is a VHS cassette of the 1990 science fiction action film 'Total Recall,' starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. The VHS tape is housed within its original cardboard slipcover, which features the film's promotional artwork. The cover prominently displays 'SCHWARZENEGGER' at the top, indicating the lead actor, followed by the tagline 'Get ready for the ride of your life.' Below this, the movie title 'TOTAL RECALL.' is presented in a bold, stylized font. A graphic element resembling a mountain range or a futuristic skyline in red and orange hues is visible just below the title. The overall color scheme of the cover is dark, predominantly black and deep blue, with a striking central image of what appears to be a distorted face or reflection, possibly Schwarzenegger's character, with bright blue eyes, hinting at the film's thematic elements of memory and reality. In the bottom right corner, the 'CAROLCO HOME VIDEO' logo is visible, indicating the distributor. The physical condition appears to be used, with some visible wear and tear on the edges and corners of the slipcover, suggesting some handling or storage over time. There are no major rips or tears immediately apparent, but minor scuffs and creases are likely present given its age. This VHS tape represents a common format for home video entertainment during the late 20th century. The quality of the printing on the cover appears good, retaining its original colors despite potential fading over decades. This item dates back to the early 1990s, coinciding with the film's release.
