The film is now 20 years old the film is once again set on Christmas Eve.  The film begins with McClane (Bruce Willis) waiting at the Washington Dulles International Airport for his wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia) to arrive from Los Angeles the flight also has on board reporter Richard Thornberg (William Atherton). While waiting for his wife&#8217;s flight McClane sits down and has a coffee, while drinking his coffee McClane spots two men dressed in army fatigues and carrying a package. The two men get up and leave, McClane follows them into the baggage area.  McClane announces himself to the men who respond by saying they work in the airport and then by pulling their guns on McClane and firing.  During the course of the fire fight one of them is killed while the other escapes. Before the dead mans body is removed from the airport McClane takes his finger prints so he can identify him.  McClane phones his old friend LAPD Sergeant Al Powell (Reginald VelJohnson) and asks him to run the finger prints, Powell comes back with a startling discovery. McClane learns that the dead man was a mercenary who was thought to be killed in action, McClane believes something is about to happen.  Former US Army Special Forces Colonel Stuart (William Sadler) and other former members of his unit, O&#8217;Reilly (Robert Patrick) and Burke (John Leguizamo) set up a base in a small church near the airport. They take over air traffic control systems, stating that they want to rescue Ramon Esperanza (Franco Nero) a drug lord and dictator of a South American country named <a href="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/dieh2-09.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2205 alignright" title="dieh2 09" src="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/dieh2-09.jpg" alt="" width="283" height="120" /></a>Val Verde, who is flying in for trial on drug trafficking charges. They demand a Boeing 747  ready and fueled so they can escape to another country and warn the Dulles air traffic controllers not to try to restore control to their systems. Upon learning about this, McClane becomes upset because his wife is on one of the planes which are circling above Washington with too little fuel to be redirected and therefore are most likely to crash if the terrorists remain in control. Dulles communications director Leslie Barnes (Art Evans) heads to the unfinished Annex Sky-walk with a SWAT team  to establish communications with the planes. Stuart&#8217;s henchmen ambush them, killing the SWAT team.<span id="more-2203"></span> Before they can kill Barnes, McClane bursts in and kills all of Stuart&#8217;s ambush team. Stuart responds by using the instrument landing system  to crash a plane, killing everyone on board. A two way radio dropped by one of Stuart&#8217;s henchmen tips McClane off that Esperanza is landing.  He gets there before Stuart&#8217;s henchmen, but Stuart traps him in the cabin and throws grenades into the cockpit.  McClane escapes via the ejection seat and returns to the airport to find an Army Special Forces team led by Major Grant (John Amos) has arrived.  McClane and Barnes discover where the mercenaries are located and tell Grant and his team to raid it.  However the mercenaries escape on snowmobiles. McClane pursues them, but finds that the gun he picked up does not work.  He realizes the mercenaries and Special Forces were using blanks in their guns and are working together. McClane contacts airport police Captain Carmine Lorenzo (Dennis Franz) to send out <a href="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/dieh2-119.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2206" title="dieh2 119" src="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/dieh2-119.jpg" alt="" width="294" height="120" /></a>officers to intercept the plane. Thornberg after learning about the general situation after listening on a bypass radio call by Barnes to all planes, phones in a sensational take on what is happening at Dulles leading to panic in the airport and preventing the officers from reaching the plane. McClane hitches a ride on a news helicopter, which drops him off on the wing of the plane. Grant comes out to fight, but ends up sucked into the engine and killed. Stuart comes out to fight next and he succeeds by knocking McClane off the plane, but McClane manages to open the fuel hatch.  After landing, McClane uses his cigarette lighter to ignite the trail of leaking fuel, which travels right back to the plane and ignites the rest of the fuel and destroys the plane killing all on board. The other planes circling in the air use the lighted trail to land and McClane and his wife are reunited.</p>

It went onto make $110,000,000 million worldwide.  The film is now 21 years old the film begins with USS Montana an American ballistic missile submarine sinking after an accidental encounter with an unidentified submerged object.  With time critical the US Navy launches a rescue operation in an attempt to salvage the sub, with a hurricane moving in the navy decides that the quickest way to mount a rescue is for a Seal team to be inserted onto a privately owned experimental underwater oil platform.  The designer of the platform Dr Lindsey Brigman (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) insists on accompanying the Seal team down to the rig even though her estranged husband, Virgil &#8220;Bud&#8221; Brigman (Ed Harris) is currently serving as the platform&#8217;s foreman.  On board the submerged oil rig the Seal team UN pack there gear and get ready for the dive to the USS Montana.  Before they dive to the USS Montana Lt Hiram Coffey (Michael Biehn) holds a briefing where he tells everyone what is required of them for this mission. With everyone now ready they begin the dive to the USS Montana, they find the USS Montana near the edge of the Cayman Trough.  As the oil<a href="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/The-Abyss-30.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2120 alignright" title="The Abyss 30" src="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/The-Abyss-30.jpg" alt="" width="291" height="120" /></a> workers and Seal team investigate the wreck one of the oil workers has a strange encounter with a creature they can&#8217;t identify the same being that inadvertently caused the USS Montana to crash.  Now back on the oil rig, Jammer the oil worker who saw the creature they can&#8217;t identify is now in a coma.  As the storm topside intensifies Coffey contacts his superiors on board the Benthic Explorer, who order him to retrieve one of the warheads from one of the Trident missiles on board the USS Montana.  To do this Coffey and his team take one of the rig&#8217;s mini subs without authorization on a classified mission to the Montana to retrieve one of the warheads from the ship&#8217;s Trident missiles.  Unbeknown to the Seal team the mini sub that they took was the only vehicle capable of disconnecting the station&#8217;s umbilical cord to its parent surface ship the Benthic Explorer.  Upon their return the Seals remove the warhead and turn the sub over to its normal pilot One Night (Kimberly Scott) who takes it out in a<a href="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/the-abyss-06.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2121" title="the abyss 06" src="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/the-abyss-06.jpg" alt="" width="283" height="120" /></a>n attempt to disconnect the umbilicus.  By this time the Explorer is in the middle of the hurricane and is being tossed around violently by powerful winds and waves generated by the storm.  The ship&#8217;s motion makes it impossible for One Night to disconnect the cable.  Then all of a sudden the Benthic Explorer is hit by a big wave and loses one of its stabilizers, which enables it to keep its position.   As a result of this the ship begins to move out of position, which intern begins to drag the rig by the umbilicus. <span id="more-2118"></span> The Benthic Explorer tries to release more slack so the rig doesn&#8217;t get pulled, but to no avail the stress of the cable causes the crane to break away from the ship and fall into the water.   The cable and crane barely miss the platform and lands on the sea bed floor in front of the rig.   The crane just sits there at first and then begins to fall the other way over the cliff face.  The crew realizes that the crane is still attached to the rig via the umbilicus and will be pulled over the cliff face.  The umbilicus pulls the rig over the cliff face and the rig lands on a ledge some distance down the trench.  The impact of the landing causes massive damage and flooding, killing six of the station&#8217;s crew and injuring several of the surviving crew and Seals.   The crew begins to experience more strange encounters from what appear to be underwater beings (NTIs) which the paranoid Coffey determines to be a threat.  An NTI in the form of a living column of water, explores the platform and while the platform crew believe it to be harmless Coffey sees it as a threat. The platform crew realize Coffey is suffering from High Pressure Nervous Syndrome, making him paranoid. Using one of the remote operated vehicles to spy on Coffey from outside the platform, they discover he is planning on sending the warhead down into the trench to destroy whatever may be down there.   Bud attempts to subdue Coffey before he can leave the platform in one of the mini subs, but is unable to do so. Coff<a href="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/The-Abyss-38.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2122 alignright" title="The Abyss 38" src="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/The-Abyss-38.jpg" alt="" width="290" height="120" /></a>ey is chased by Bud and Lindsey in the station&#8217;s other submersible.  They manage to damage Coffey&#8217;s sub causing it to fall into the trench, where Coffey&#8217;s sub is eventually crushed by the pressure.  However Bud and Lindsey are too late to stop the remote vehicle the warhead is attached to, which is on a pre programmed course.  Their own sub&#8217;s hull has been ruptured and water is flooding the sub.  Lindsey forces Bud to wear the only diving suit in the sub, while she hopes that her mammalian diving reflex will preserve her in the cold water while Bud tows her back to the platform.  Bud and the crew are able to resuscitate Lindsey and the two reaffirm their lost love.  Bud volunteers to be the one to go down to the warhead and disarm it.  Bud dons an experimental diving suit brought on board by the Seals, in which the diver breathes in a special fluid instead of air.  Bud will not be able to talk and is instead forced to communicate through a keypad on his suit.  Bud begins his dive into the trench, he reaches the ledge where the warhead sits and is guided by the Seals in disarming it.  Lindsey is distressed to learn that he does not have enough breathing fluid remaining to allow his return to the platform.  Bud tells her, via his keypad pad that he always knew<a href="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/The-Abyss-40.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2123" title="The Abyss 40" src="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/The-Abyss-40.jpg" alt="" width="289" height="120" /></a> it was a one way trip and that he had to go to save both the platform crew and the NTIs.   He transmits a final message saying that he loves her and still considers her to be his wife and she tells him how much she loves him before assuming he&#8217;s dead.  The NTIs find Bud just before his oxygen runs out and bring him onto their ship.  They provide him with air to breathe at his normal pressure and engage in silent communication with him.  They then proceed to show him several Television clips they have stored of humanity&#8217;s destructive behavior.  Silently explaining that they have left humans alone but now believe humans are too self destructive to continue this behavior.  The NTI&#8217;s view Bud&#8217;s transmission &#8220;Love you Wife&#8221; and decide to stop the storm and tsunamis, realizing human compassion.  With everyone baffled, Bud types another message into his keypad and tells them what he has discovered.  The NTIs proceed to surface their underwater ship, but it is so massive it lifts most of the naval fleet patrolling the area above the water, including the explorer.  Everyone seems fine, including the underwater crew without any need to decompress as the NTI&#8217;s altered their bodies to allow this.  Lindsey sees Bud emerge from the NTI ship and they rush to each other.  Greeting each other as a newlywed couple would, they engage in a passionate kiss.</p>

The men dig a hole for the lovers to sit in and await the day. While crossing the river to reach the group Navarre as the wolf falls through the ice.  Phillipe tries to pull him out and in doing so gets scratched to pieces by Navarre before they reach safety.  In the morning Isabeau is hidden from the sun on one side of the hole so that she does not transform. On the other side the wolf who is struck by sunligh<a href="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/ladyhawk-22.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2102 alignright" title="ladyhawk 22" src="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/ladyhawk-22.jpg" alt="" width="164" height="120" /></a>t and begins to transforms into Navarre.  They are amazed to see each other, but in seconds Isabeau transforms into a hawk and flies away. Navarre is crushed and then angry.  However when he learns that Phillipe rescued him from the deadly river during the night, he apologize and agrees to try to break the curse.  They decide to openly bring Navarre into the city in his wolf form as a present for the bishop.  Imperius and Isabeau enter the city in a wagon carrying the wolf Navarre in a cage.  Since Phillipe is a wanted criminal,he hides under the cart.  As the eclipse begins on the following day it is time for Navarre to see the Bishop to break the curse. The Bishop will be conducting Mass in the cathedral and the main doors will be bolted shut. Phillipe&#8217;s must crawl through the sewers to unlock the doors.  Worrying that the whole enterprise may fail, Navarre tells Imperius to kill the hawk when the bells ring at the end of Mass if Navarre has not returned.  After Phillipe unlocks the doors Navarre rides his horse right into the cathedral.  While fighting the Bishops guards in the cathedral a window breaks and the solar eclipse sh<a href="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/ladyhawk-38.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2103" title="ladyhawk  38" src="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/ladyhawk-38.jpg" alt="" width="276" height="120" /></a>ows through. Someone rings the bell, which the signal to Imperius to kill Isabeau.  Marquet attacks Navarre and the two tear up the cathedral before Navarre beats him.   Devastated because he believes Isabeau is dead, Navarre determines to execute the Bishop.  Then from nowhere Isabeau appears in human form.   All activity in the room stops and everyone stares at the couple including the Bishop. This breaks the curse.  The Bishop sees his plan foiled and tries to use his crozier spear on Isabeau to keep the lovers apart.  Phillipe cries out and Navarre hurls his sword impaling the Bishop.  Isabeau and Navarre are finally together in their human form Phillipe and Imperius look on with tears in there eyes.</p>

The film opened in the US in May 1985 and was the number one movie that weekend taking $20,176,217 at the box office.  Rambo First Blood Part II is the most successful of the Rambo series taking $300,400,432 worldwide at the box office.   The film begins showing Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) working in a prison labor camp when he gets a visit from his former commander, Colonel Sam Trautman (Richard Crenna). Trautman offers Rambo the chance to be released from prison after the events of the first film and given full clemency, but on condition of him going into Vietnam  to search for American POWs.  Once released Rambo meets Marshal Murdock (Charles Napier) an American bureaucrat who is in charge of the operation who tells Rambo that the American public is demanding knowledge about the POWs.  Rambo is briefed on the mission and given orders that he is only to photograph the POWs and not to rescue them, nor is he to engage any enemy soldiers.   Rambo reluctantly agrees and he is then told that an agent of the American government will be there to receive him in the jungles of Vietnam.  Rambo parachutes into the Northern Vietnam but loses most of his equipment in the process and is left only with his knives, his bow and arrows. He meets the agent a native girl named Co Bao (Julia Nickson) who wants <a href="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/rambo-2-96.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2082 alignright" title="rambo 2 96" src="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/rambo-2-96.jpg" alt="" width="287" height="120" /></a>to go to America.  She takes Rambo to the camp and in contradiction to his briefing Rambo finds American prisoners there and rescues one of them.  He, Co and the American POW escape in a boat but are attacked by a gunboat,  Rambo sends Co and the POW to safety and manages to destroy the gunboat with an RPG.  Rambo and the American POW make it to the extraction point, only to be left behind on orders from Murdock who fears what will happen to him and his party if the American public come to know about it.  Rambo and the American POW are recaptured. Rambo&#8217;s is bound to a oxen yoke and is lowered into a cesspool.  Later Rambo learns that the Soviet Army is aiding the Vietnamese and training them, later that night Rambo is tortured by a Soviet officer Lt Col Podovsky (Steven Berkoff) and his robust henchman Sergeant Yushin.<span id="more-2080"></span> Rambo is ordered by the Col to contact his American supiriors and tell them that they should not send any more commandos for resc<a href="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/rambo-2-28.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2083" title="rambo 2 28" src="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/rambo-2-28.jpg" alt="" width="173" height="120" /></a>ue operations in Vietnam. Meanwhile Co enters the camp in the guise of a prostitute and comes to the hut in which Rambo is held captive.  Rambo agrees to Podovsky&#8217;s condition, but instead threatens Murdock on the radio that he is coming to get him.   Rambo then escapes from captivity with the help of Co and they both flee into the jungle.  After running most of the night they find a quiet spot near some waterfalls where Co tends to Rambo&#8217;s wounds and implores him to take her to the United States with him.  Rambo agrees, however they are then attacked by some Vietnamese soldiers and Co is killed.   Rambo kills them all, except for their commander who escapes.  Rambo buries Co´s body in the jungle and prepares to fight back against the Russian and Vietnamese soldiers.  Following Rambos escape the Soviet and Vietnamese soldiers are sent to look for him. Rambo assembles his weapons and using his guerrilla warfare tactics, is able to kill a large number of enemy troops.   He proceeds to a small enemy camp and destroys it and several vehicles with explosive arrows.  Rambo hijacks a helicopter from the Russians  after killing Sergeant Yushin and proceeds back towards the POW camp.   Rambo destroys most of the camp with the helicopter and then lands and arms himself with the M60 <a href="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/rambo-2-86.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2084 alignright" title="rambo 2 86" src="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/rambo-2-86.jpg" alt="" width="289" height="120" /></a>machine gun that is mounted on the side of the helicopter, kills the remaining soldiers in the camp and rescues all the POWs.  Once there all in the helicopter Rambo heads towards the American camp in Thailand.  Lt Col Podovsky chases them in his Military Mi-24 helicopter gunship.  Although Rambo&#8217;s helicopter is heavily damaged by Podovsky&#8217;s gun fire,  he manages to land his helicopter on a river.  Faking his own death Rambo lies in wait for Podovsky to get closer, once Podovsky is close enough Rambo strikes and fires a LAW missal at Podovsky&#8217;s helicopter obliterating it.  Rambo makes it back to the American base with the POWs, he once again takes the M60 machine gun that is mounted on the side of the helicopter and destroys Murdock&#8217;s command center.  He threatens Murdock with a knife, challenging him to find and rescue the remaining American POWs in Vietnam.    Trautman then comforts Rambo, an angry Rambo responds that he only wants his country to love its soldiers as much as its soldiers love it. As Rambo leaves, Trautman asks him &#8220;How will you live John?&#8221; To which Rambo replies &#8220;Day by day.&#8221; The film credits roll as Rambo walks off into the distance while his mentor watches him.</p>

and Murtaugh&#8217;s fellow officers are murdered.  While guarding Leo, Murtaugh views an old family video and finally remembers that Alba Varden is the name of a South African ship currently at the docks.   He suddenly realizes that Rudd is planning to use the ship to smuggle his billions in drug money to Cape Town.   He is then attacked by two of Vorstedt&#8217;s men but manages to kill them with a nail gun.   At the same time   Leo is kidnapped while sitting unguarded in Murtaugh&#8217;s car outside Murtaghs house.   While in bed with Rika,  Riggs is woken up by his barking dog Max of an impending attack by Rudd&#8217;s men in two helicopters.   They both quickly get dressed and escaped the trailer by climbing through the hole in the floor that Max the dog came up from and barked from.  While his trailer is being shot to pieces Riggs manages to kill one of the attackers and kill two others with his machine gun.  They both escaped and Riggs drives Rika home, as Riggs goes to leave in his truck he is knocked out and captured by Vorstedt.  Vorstedt has Riggs all tied up in a straight jacket and chains but before he kills him Vorstedt taunts Riggs over the death of his wife.   Revealing to Riggs that when he was a narcotics officer in Long Beach California he had been costing them a lot of money so they put a hit out on Riggs to be killed.   Vorstedt handled the hit personally and ran Riggs car off the road thinking he was inside it, but instead he kills Riggs wife.  Coldly mocking his bad luck with women, Vorstedt drops the now enraged Riggs off the docks in a straitjacket and leaves him to drown.   Riggs quickly escapes the straitjacket by dislocating his shoulder as he swims free he sees Rika drowned.  Although Vorstedt has already left, Riggs kills Vorstedts two men he left behind to make sure he was dead.   Riggs phones Murtagh and announces that he is going after Vorstedt and Rudd to avenge the deaths of his wife, Rika and the rest of their squad. Leaving his own badge at the station Murtaugh leaves to help him kill Vorstedt and Rudd.    Meeting a short distance away from the house on stilts, Murtaugh reminds Riggs that they have no authority to go in there and that they have Leo.  Riggs simply replies &#8220;I&#8217;m not a cop tonight it&#8217;s personal&#8221;.  Murtaugh heads inside the house to rescue Leo.   Mean<a href="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/was-02.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2014 alignright" title="was 02" src="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/was-02.jpg" alt="" width="274" height="120" /></a>while Riggs uses his truck to dislodge the stilts, causing the house to collapse just as Leo and Murtaugh escape.   After sending Leo back to the precinct, Murtaugh and Riggs go to the docks where the ship Alba Varden is moored.   They enter a cargo container that is sitting on the dock, only to discover it is filled with millions of dollars of drug money.   Their presence is discovered and the cargo container is sealed with the two of them inside.   The container if lifted into the air, however they use a Mercedes within the container to bust their way out causing all the money to blow out of the container into the Los Angeles bay.  Riggs and Murtaugh rappel down ropes onto the deck of the Alba Varden where they have a final confrontation with Rudd and Vorstedt.  Once on the deck of the of the ship Murtagh and Riggs split up, both of them end up in gun fights with Rudds men killing them.   Riggs is still in the cargo hold when from nowhere Vorstedt throws a knife into the back of Riggs leg causing him to go down.  Vorstedt repeatedly kicks him while he is down, Riggs eventually stabs Vorstedt with his own knife and leaves him for dead.   As Riggs begins to walk away Vorstedt pulls out a gun and aims it at Riggs who by pressing a button drops a cargo container on Vorstedt.  Suddenly Rudd appears up on the control deck and shoots Riggs in the back several times.   Witness to this Murtaugh draws his gun and attempts to arrest Rudd who holds up up his ID and gloats &#8220;Diplomatic immunity&#8221;.   Murtaugh shoots him in the head and replies &#8220;It&#8217;s just been revoked&#8221;.  Running to his partner, Murtaugh finds that although critically wounded Riggs is still alive.   The two buddies laugh and joke as the film closes to an end.</p>

During the memory implantation procedure Quaid has a violent outburst and tries to break free, ranting about how his cover has been blown and how men are coming to kill him.  The technicians manage to sedate Quaid, it is initially suspected that Quaid was acting out the secret agent part of the trip but wasn&#8217;t possible because that part of the trip had not been implanted yet.  The technicians realize that Quaid&#8217;s memory has been erased, covering up there involvement they erase hi<a href="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/was-t69.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1939 alignright" title="was t69" src="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/was-t69.jpg" alt="" width="214" height="120" /></a>s memories of Rekall and send him home in a taxi. Quaid wakes up in the taxi just before it drops him off, after getting out the taxi Quaid is met by his work college Gary who invites him for a drink but Quaid turns him down.  As Quaid begins to make his way up the stairs he is forcibly grabbed by five men, led by Gary they move Quaid out of sight behind the stairs and begin to question him about mars.  Quaid breaks free and kills all the men including his friend, horrified at the spectacle he rushes home.  He enters his apartment an turns off all the lights and tells Lori he´s just been attacked, Quaid goes into the bathroom and washes off all the blood from his encounter.  As he exits the bathroom he is shot at by someone in the dark, he manages to avoid being shot and grabs hold of that person and turns on the lights only to discover its his wife Lori. Quaid releases his grip questioning why she would do this in doing so she begins to attack him again this time with a knife.  He disarms her once again this time pointing a gun at her, she tells him that everything he remembers including their marriage is a series of false memories implanted.  While Quaid was in the bathroom Lori called Richter (Michael Ironside) her husband and fellow spy.  Lori tries to keep Quaid talking until Richter can arrive with his men, but Quaid notices several men with guns arriving at their apartment building on the monitor in there apartment. Quaid knocks Lori out and leaves the apartment before Richter arrives and heads for the local subway, chased by Richter and his men Quaid manages to escape and finds a safe haven in a cheap motel.  Richter and Lori both work for Vilhos Cohaagen (Ronny Cox) the corporate dictator of Mars. In his hotel room Quaid receives a call from someone who claims to be his friend and that they both worked for the Agency<a href="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/was-t70.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1940" title="was t70" src="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/was-t70.jpg" alt="" width="262" height="120" /></a> and if he ever disappeared to come and find him, so here he was.  He tells Quaid to wrap a wet towel around his head because he has a tracking device implanted in his head and wrapping a wet towel around his head disrupts the signal. Quaid does this then the man tells him to keep moving and leaves a suitcase by the telephone he´s calling from and leaves. Quaid leaves his hotel room and picks up the suitcase and heads for a taxi, when he is spotted by Richter and his companion in his car. Quaid makes it to a taxi and demands him to go, but the taxi is operated by a robot taxi driver who does not understand the instructions he was given. <span id="more-1937"></span> Quaid in a hurry to leave removes the robot taxi driver from his position and takes control of the taxi and speeds away, as he does Richter and his companion fire at the taxi in an effort to stop it, but they are unsuccessful and Quaid escapes. Quaid stops the taxi near an old abandoned cement factory and leaves the vehicle as he walks away the robot reactivates the taxi and heads straight for Quaid, who narrowly gets out the way and then the taxi hits a wall and explodes. Quaid makes his way into the abandoned cement factory and finds a place to look inside the suitcase which contains fake IDs, money, weapons and a video recording of himself.  The video informs him that he was once Hauser the right hand man of Cohaagen and that he met Melina (Rachel Ticotin) a member of the Mars resistance against Cohaagen who convinced him to switch sides. Hauser instructs Quaid to get to Mars and set things right, saying Quaid has enough information in his head that can destroy Cohaagen.  Quaid arrives at the Mars colony and avoids capture by Richter and Cohaagen&#8217;s men.  Many of the people on Mars are mutants with deformed features and psychic abilities caused by the mixture of radiation and shoddy air quality provided by Cohaagen.  Quaid befriends Benny (Mel Johnson Jr) a mutant taxi driver who drives him to Venusville to meet Melina (Rachel Ticotin), who after she hears his story doesn&#8217;t believe him and orders him to leave at gunpoint. Quaid is in his hotel room, when he is visited by Dr Edgemar (Roy Brocksmith) who explains that everything he has exper<a href="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/was-t95.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1941 alignright" title="was t95" src="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/was-t95.jpg" alt="" width="219" height="120" /></a>ienced so far has been part of the false memories implanted by Rekall that have gone wrong. Quaid doesn&#8217;t believe him, so Dr Edgemar has Lori enter the room who pleads with Doug to listen to Dr Edgemar and that she is very concerned for him. Dr Edgemar offers Quaid a pill supposedly a symbol of his desire to return to reality, saying that if he takes the pill he will wake up safely at the memory implant facility. If he doesn&#8217;t take the pill, he will end up lobotomized. Quaid seriously considers the offer, but spots a drop of sweat moving down Dr Edgemar&#8217;s head. Quaid shoots him, causing a team of men to breach the wall and capture Quaid. Lori and Cohaagen&#8217;s men tie Quaid up who is unconscious and wait in the hallway for another lift, as the lift arrives and the doors open Melina is inside and opens fire killing Cohaagen&#8217;s men.  Lori attacks Melina and they fight, when Quaid wakes up he grabs a gun and shoots the knife out of Lori´s hand who is about to kill Melina.  He shoots Lori in the head killing her, as Melina unties his hand she explains that the leader of the resistance Kuato (Marshall Bell) who is a mutant can help Quaid remember.  Melina, Quaid and Benny escape from Richter and his men to the resistance hideout, in revenge for aiding in their escape Cohaagen disables the ventilation system to the population of Venusville slowly causing them to die from lack of oxygen.  Quaid is taken to another room by George (Marshall Bell) who opens his shirt and from his chest area appears Kuato a mutant. Kuato reads Quaids mind and sees a vision of alien ruins underneath Mars that Cohaagen has kept secret. Just then the rebel hideout is attacked by Cohaagen&#8217;s forces.  The rebels are slaughtered as Quaid, Melina, Benny a<a href="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/was-t81.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1942 alignleft" title="was t81" src="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/was-t81.jpg" alt="" width="214" height="120" /></a>nd George/Kuato flee as the group prepares to escape, Benny shoots George/Kuato revealing himself as an enemy agent. Quaid kneels down next to Kuato who tells him to start the alien reactor and free mars just as Richter shoots him in the chest and kills him. Quaid and Melina are taken before Cohaagen who explains that this was all a trap devised by Hauser and Cohaagen to infiltrate the resistance.  Quaid doesn&#8217;t´t believe this, so Cohaagen shows him another video of Hauser with Cohaagen at his side congratulating Quaid on helping to wipe out the rebels.  Quaid and Melina are taken to a memory implant facility so that Hauser can be restored and Melina reprogrammed to be subservient. Richter punches Quaid in the face before leaving with Cohaagen.  During the memory programming procedure Quaid escapes from his chair frees Melina and kills the guards.  They make their way to the alien ruins, as Quaid tells Melina that Kuato helped him remember that the ruins are actually reactors that will make enough air for the entire planet and would thus cause Cohaagen to lose control of Mars.  On the way to the ruins they are attacked by Benny, who is driving a gigantic mining machine. Quaid picks u a hand held drill and impales Benny through the cockpit.  At the ruins Richter is waiting with a large group of Cohaagen&#8217;s men. Quaid utilizes a hologram device to confuse the soldiers<a href="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/was-t44.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1943 alignright" title="was t44" src="http://vidworldnorth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/was-t44.jpg" alt="" width="229" height="120" /></a> while he and Melina gun them all down.  Richter escapes and boards a freight elevator that ascends to the ruins control panel. Quaid jumps on and the two fight, ending with Richter having his arms ripped off and falling to his death.  Quaid makes it to the reactor control area and is about to start the reactor, when Cohaagen appears and shoots at his hand to stop him from turning on the reactor. Cohaagen has rigged the facility to explode and prepares to shoot Quaid, when he is saved by Melina.  Cohaagen activates the bomb, but Quaid throws it away before it detonates and the explosion rips a hole in the wall, causing depressurization.  As Quaid and Melina hang on for dear life, Cohaagen is sucked into the atmosphere, where he dies. Quaid manages to turn the reactor on just before he and Melina are sucked into the atmosphere as well, but they are saved as the reactor releases air throughout all of Mars.  The atmosphere washes over the planet.  The people who were dying can now breathe again.  As Quaid and Melina look at the new Mars sky, Quaid wonders if he really is having a dream.</p>
