Goofs
During the conversation Quaid has with Lori after the shooting at Rekall, her sweater changes between showing her shoulder and not showing it between shots.

In the first ten minutes when the characters are boarding the Fall, the female speaker says that they are now boarding the "7:15 flight." However in a conversation with his friend, they discuss having to wake up for their 6:00AM shifts.

For The Fall to travel the diameter of the Earth in 17 minutes, it would have to maintain an average speed of over 45000 kph (28000 mph). At this speed, it would be impossible for anyone to survive standing on the outside, because of both the airflow and the high temperatures resulting from friction.

Q
Are the events in the film real or a dream?
A
While the 1990 film left it more ambiguous as to whether it was a dream or not (with more hints that it was indeed a dream). This film appears to play as if the events are indeed really happening. The biggest hint that it *may* have been a dream comes at the very end of the film when Doug checks a bandage on his right forearm and notices that the tattoo of a peace symbol that he received at Rekall was missing, suggesting he may still be in the dream world where he wouldn't have the symbol. He starts looking concerned but then dismisses it.
Q
What is Total Recall about?
A
Factory worker Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell) goes to visit "Rekall", a company that provides its clients with memory implants of the perfect life they could have lived. Because of a recurring nightmare he's been having in which he is a secret agent who is hunted and captured by United Federation of Britain (UFB) officers, along with an unknown woman, Quaid decides to have a memory implant of a life where he is a secret agent. However, the procedure goes wrong and Quaid is soon hunted by UFB officers. He learns his wife Lori (Kate Beckinsale) is a UFB agent, who claims that his whole life is a lie and that he is not who he thinks is. After discovering that he is a reprogrammed renegade UFB agent called Carl Hauser, who used to work for UFB Chancellor Cohaagen (Bryan Cranston). Quaid goes on the run and is joined by a woman named Melina (Jessica Biel). Quaid agrees to help a resistance group led by Matthias (Bill Nighy), in bringing down Cohaagen who plots to invade The Colony (Australia) with his military forces and destroy the gravity transport "The Fall", which will kill innocent people and revive his memories as Hauser. But, as Quaid sets out to defeat Cohaagen, he begins to question reality and wonder whether everything happening around him is real or in his mind, a fantasy created as part of his memory implant.
Q
What are the differences between the Theatrical Version and the Extended Director's Cut?
A
The Extended Director's Cut, which was released on Blu-ray, deserves the Director's Cut branding since it features several new and extended plot sequences that improve the movie immensely. Throughout the movie nearly 100 differences can be found between both versions, ranging from prolonged story scenes to added nudity and action sequences and altered dialogues. A very detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.
