His trip is just the beginning of the most exciting and adrenaline-filled adventure of his life, involving a whirlwind of epic shootouts, memory implants, martial arts, and even a three-breasted prostitute named Mary.

Dick and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as Douglas Quaid, it follows a simple construction worker who buys a vacation package to Mars. He was ten years at that time.It's rare when a blockbuster film also becomes a critically acclaimed hit, but that's just what happened with 1990's sci-fi action-adventure, Total Recall. Based on a novel by best-selling sci-fi author Philip K. Gradually, his dream to go to America would become definitive for Arnold. An activity that didn’t sit well with his father, when he found out. But when those money were spent, he turned to the next best thing he could find at that age, panhandling. He showed an entrepreneurial spirit at the age of ten, when buying ice cream cones for one schilling and selling them for three. His father’s salary was barely enough to live by, which led Arnold to have a desire to make money himself. One of the weak spots of his brother was his fear of the dark, which Arnold took advantage of, by picking him from the bus station at night, although he was scared of the dark himself. From this task he was receiving five schillings a week from his father. His brother was a year older than him and they were very competitive with each other. That’s why they also had a lot of cats around the house. His mother was a strong built woman, resourceful and who loved cats.

Although his father was a policeman, he was good with music and playing instruments. His father was strict with his boys and used a discipline that would cripple most kids, but which Arnold used to turn into a drive. And when Arnold and his brother, Meinhard, grew up and started getting into sports, he would earn his breakfast by doing sit-ups. Like, for example, a teacher hitting a kid so hard that he breaks two teeth.Īnd, besides these experiences, Arnold had a pretty severe father, living him with the impression that he was never good enough. His father imposed on him a strict routine of getting up at six in the morning and going next door to take milk. A time when parents and teachers would beat up the kids if they did something wrong. Arnold comes from the time when life for children was, let’s say, at least harder than today.
