That the people trying to warn Quaid he was in a fantasy were telling the truth. The movie whites out at the end instead of fading to black b/c that's his brain melting.

Ah. Was pretty clear through the movie that it was the fantasy that they were pitching him in the beginning - "Blue Skies on Mars" (plus it all went down as the guy said) but didn't catch the brain melting implication.

Yeah, all the tip-offs that they were lying (e.g. the sweat drop) were supplied by Quaid's subconscious to reinforce his power fantasy.

How in the world are we supposed to get that? All the implications are that it's real and it mirrors his requested fantasy because the "fantasy" was lurking in his erased memory.

Every element that the Recall salesman described happened - down to the "blue skies on Mars" ending. The part that was his fantasy mirroring his possibly erased memory was his description of the woman - so set that aside and only consider the rest.

Maybe my interpretation is colored by the (*shudder*) Piers Anthony novelization.

Wait. He wrote a novelization of a movie that was based on a Phillip K. Dick story to begin with?

It's as bad as you might imagine but contains fewer naked children than the average Anthony novel.

There should be a wikipedia page listing movie novelizations for movies based on books.
