Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
1) There is no adaptational plot hole, because there were no telepathic mutants in the original short story
2) No need to use an averted trope when the correct trope also exists


* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: In the original ''Film/{{Total Recall|1990}}'', there was a perfectly legitimate explanation why Hauser had to have his memory erased and take on the Quaid persona, because Kuato, the leader of [[LaResistance the resistance]] was a mutant who could read minds, and could easily detect an undercover spy therefore. But in the remake, the leader is just some standard normal guy without any mind reading ability, thus eliminating the need to erase his memory (besides as a ''very'' secure way to ensure Hauser never breaks character).



* BloodierAndGorier: Inverted. This movie isn't as gruesome as the original.


Added DiffLines:

Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* CoolGuns:
** The police all carry TDI Vectors, compact .45ACP submachineguns whose engineering mostly eliminates muzzle rise.
** And the [[RevolversAreJustBetter Chiappa Rhino]] (think the successor to the Mateba Autorevolver) is heavily used by the police and Lori.
