Jason versus Total Recall (2012)

Gotta hand it to Colin Farrell, the dude has been lucky enough to star in two of the most unnecessary remakes of all time, yet both have been better than film fans deserve. Props to you, sir. And this time you get to make nice with two of the hottest women on the planet -- Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel. Well played, Colin. Well played. A factory worker, Douglas Quaid, begins to suspect that he is a spy after visiting Rekall -- a company that provides its clients with implanted fake memories of a life they would like to have led -- goes wrong and he finds himself on the run.

Colin Farrell Vs. Kate Beckinsale in this Total Recall clip

Today we've got a look at a fight scene from Len Wiseman's Total Recall remake, and it's looking pretty slick. The scene takes place after Doug Quaid (Colin Farrell) returns from a failed visit to Rekall. He thinks he's going to get sympathy from his wife (Kate Beckinsale) but he doesn't, because then we wouldn't be able to watch a fight scene. The plot: a factory worker begins to suspect that he is a spy after visiting Rekall - a company that provides its clients with implanted fake memories of a life they would like to have led.  Total Recall hits theatres Aug. 3.
