IIn this iconic scene from Total Recall (1990), Douglas Quaid (Arnold Schwarzenegger) attempts to sneak past Martian customs disguised as an unsuspecting middle-aged woman. Everything seems to be going smoothly until a glitch in his disguise leads to one of the most memorable lines in sci-fi cinema: "Two weeks!"
Chaos erupts when his robotic mask malfunctions, and the customs officers grow suspicious. Quaid's mask begins to stutter and deform before completely splitting open, revealing his true identity underneath. Cue the mayhem! Quaid goes full action-hero mode as he fights off security guards, giving us an adrenaline-pumping escape sequence packed with wild gunfights and explosive sci-fi visuals.
This scene perfectly captures the mix of intense action and offbeat humour that defines Total Recall. The film, directed by Paul Verhoeven, blends dystopian sci-fi with larger-than-life performances and groundbreaking special effects. The "Two Weeks" moment has become legendary, often parodied and referenced in pop culture over the years.
Don't miss this thrilling scene that showcases Schwarzenegger at his best—where even a disguise can't keep the Mars authorities from being on his tail!
