I actually loved the sci-fi in that one. The cloning of pets was pretty cool. Also the plot twist was pretty neat. I’ll have to watch it again to see if it holds up.
So my opinion of this is colored by nostalgia, but I tend to agree with the OP.
When I was very little I rented Conan shortly after seeing T2 and assuming anything with that guy in it would be good.
I sat at home and watched that movie in AWE. it was AWESOME. dude is poetic and he doesn’t take no shit, and DARTH VADER is in it??? How had I never heard of this before?!
Few movies have captured that childlike wonder in me the way Conan the Barbarian did. LOTR got close, only because I’d been anticipating it for so long. But there’s something about that movie you see as a child that just blows you away, that is at least in it’s own right a decent movie. Conan isn’t just good to a kid who probably shouldn’t be watching it, it’s genuinely a decent film. Total recall, while also good, just didn’t light that spark in me.
I still watch them both every few years. Last action hero and Tango and Cash and demolition man too.
All this is wrong because it’s Total Recall, hands down
That’s a weird way to spell True Lies.
edit: Sorry, skipped over that the post title already mentioned True Lies.
Nope, it’s the one where he’s a clone and flies that cool airplane/helicopter.

I don’t remember Danny Devito flying a chopper (Twins) /s

I think Total Recall would have been better with a different actor. Fight me.
