total vampire recall
Colin Farrell played a vampire in Fright Night. Kate Beckinsale was a vampire in Underworld. Jessica Biel hunted vampires in Blade Trinity. Bill Nighy was the elder vampire in Underworld. Of course that all makes sense, since Len Wiseman directed Underworld. So Bryan Cranston only played Lucifer on the tv series Fallen, but that’s pretty close too.
What else is there to say? There’s running around, and identity changing, and shape shifting, and precisely three boobs. I don’t quite get why Beckinsale was so hell bent on killing Quaid/Hauser. She started off as kind of just doing her job, but then at some point she began taking it a little personally.
The ethics of personality replacement are interesting. I imagine Hauser only agreed to have his mind put in cold storage because he knew he’d be coming back. Does that give him the right to replace Quaid? If Quaid sticks around, is he guilty of killing Hauser? There’s two people, but the life raft is only big enough for one.
