With a new version of "Total Recall" hitting theaters this weekend, we couldn't help but look back at the 1990 original. However, despite the similarities between both versions, there is one aspect of the classic "Recall" that can never be reproduced: Arnold Schwarzenegger's line delivery.
In a career of truly unique performances, "Total Recall" might be one of his best. Here, the onetime Governator took standard action lines about double identities and sci-fi technology and elevated them to a new level. Even the most nondescript piece of exposition becomes a memorable movie quote when it escapes from the lips of the Austrian superman.
For the uninitiated, however, it can be hard to make out what he's saying. So if you want to check out the first version of "Total Recall" this weekend, but are afraid you won't be able to follow along with Schwarzenegger, Moviefone has put together an Ah-nuld subtitle guide, to help you understand (and, if you want, impersonate) Arnie's iconic accent.
