Which Total Recall?
 

Tonight at Target I saw a "special edition" of Total Recall for $5.50. I haven't opened it yet, but it looks like a keepcase in a cardboard slipcover. The price was right, so I got it.

But now I don't know what I got. I saw what looked like one review for two different versions, and three DVDs listed in the price search.

Is this the same release as the version that came out in the round tin? Is this the newest release?

The one you got is the same release as the "Mars" tin version. Artisan released this one with two different packaging styles, much like the Special Edition for <i>Basic Instinct</i> (regular keepcase or clear case with "icepick" pen).

I love and prefer my monkey-ass tin. man...people hated that thing. mine is still in perfect shape as is it's cheapie cardboard mount. :D:thumbsup:

And the even earlier edition came in a snapper case.

I can't remember.

All the ones in stores now are the same discs...just different covers...just don't get that Baboon's ass tin...ugh!

Proud owner of a monkey-ass here!

I'm another proud owner of the monkey-ass tin and it's in perfect condition!

I still have the tin and carboard holder as well... i made a custom cover for it so the tin and box are just sitting in a cabinet out of the way. was tired of it falling out so much.

See you at the pahty Richter!

I bought the tin version a while back. On a whim, I emailed Artisan and told them that, while I loved the tin and it looked great on display next to my T2 UE tin, etc., it really did not store well with all my other movies - actually, I think I (jokingly) told them it kept "rolling away". Anyway, within a week, I received a keep case in the mail, complete with Total Recall SE cover and insert! Hats off to Artisan!

There is a rumor that a third edition of Total Recall is coming. I remember an Artisan rep talked about it in an article and recently supposed specs on a German version were released.

When I finally decided to buy Total Recall, I made sure that I bought the regular keepcase version. Although the tin may look cool (for about three seconds) I knew that having that custom-shaped case would be a pain, so I just got the regular case version.

Cool. Good info. Thanks for the help guys.

Any idea why it's so gosh-darn cheap? Not that I'm complaining.

Artisan movies tend to go very cheap eventually.

:lol: I love "Total Recall" but i have to admit it is quite a funny movie.

I need to buy "Running Man".



The tin isnt a bad thing once you actually make a DVD holder to fit inside it. :)

Yep , i own the tin too.... just dont leave the dvd in the thing.... just does not fit in...

Mine too, but I sent a letter to the company and got the regular case and insert too and keep the disc in that.

I have no issues with my tin. Sits on the cardboard on the shelf with the rest of my discs just fine.

i own that tin, but it does not mean i have to like it...

Do they even sell the tin version any more?

Blasphemy I say! One must cherish the Baboon ass tin :D

I had the Babboons Ass case and sold it because it was so terrible!

Love the tin!

same here.

I have the keep case version and I think it's slipcover is one of the coolest I've ever seen.

does anmyone have the UPC or a picture of the keepcase edition, I picked this up today for 5.99 at BB it says it has all the same features but I want to be sure also?

I've seen 3 versions of this recently.

1. the mars planet shaped tin version

2. the version that comes in a silver slipcase, that has all the extras from the mars planet tin.

3. a third version that is just barebones with the movie itself. it came in a keepcase, not a snapper.

Hello...

I also have the tin and would love to have a "regular" case. Has anyone else here sucessfully received a regular case from Artison (Now Lions Gate)? If so, can you share what you did -- the email to a specific person you used, a useful phone number, etc....?

Thanks,

Matt

Borders has the mars version of the Total Recall DVD in a keepcase/slipcase for 7.99. it has all the extras that the mars tin has as well as the commentary.

You can just buy the regular-case version for $5.50 at Target or Wal*Mart now.

I have the tin azzhols!

The cardcboard mount is showing some wear an tear. I bought it on it release date.

Does anyone of you have this HK version

I'd like to know if the DTS track is good? and what about the picture....

Thank you

Had the tin, but traded it in because I hated it so much.

The tin has been out of print for some time now
