Sorry, no, if I can remember, Total recall was sold as a 'sell through' movie, either that or you bought it after it was first released on video. Sell through, they would reduce the price when first released on video for movies that they figured most people already watched at the theatre and movies like Disney etc. I worked in the industry. DVD's were a blessing for the movie rental business. After a movie was out for a while on video,
then you could get it for $20-$30, but when it was first released, the one's that were not 'sell through' were over $100. Crazy eh?
