Edgemar and Lori, while the 2012 version has Quaid in a public plaza square with his friend, Harry, trying to persuade him to kill Melina standing nearby to free himself of his fantasy while a crowd of people and a group of soldiers with their guns pointed at Quaid are featured.

The mutant taxi driver Benny, who betrays Quaid and Melina to the Mars government troops under Cohaagen and Richter in the 1990 film, is absent here. Due to the advances of technology as well as CGI, many of the car chase scenes in the 2012 film use hovercraft cars that can levitate, whereas in the 1990 film the cars are ground-wheeled vehicles. Quaid travels to Mars to meet with Melina in the 1990 film, while in the 2012 film, it is Melina who goes to meet with Quaid first after she rescues him from Lori and her henchmen chasing him. In the 1990 version Quaid meets her on Mars later in the film, whereas in the 2012 version, Quaid encounters her quite early before he gets chased. Both movies feature a brief appearance by a three-breasted prostitute whom Quaid encounters. For example, Cohaagen does not appear until the final 30 minutes of the 2012 film when he first meets Quaid face to face, whereas he is featured very occasionally throughout the 1990 movie.

The 2012 version focuses entirely on Quaid's point of view and rarely shows the viewpoints of Lori and the other villains chasing him.

Later, when she attempts to kill Quaid and reveals her true alliances, her accent immediately changes to an upper class British accent, which is her apparently natural accent that she uses for the duration of the 2012 film. Also of note, in the 2012 film, Lori speaks with a flat, middle-class American accent during the early scenes. There is no Richter character chasing Quaid in the 2012 movie, as the role of Quaid's relentless pursuer is taken over by Lori in the 1990 movie, Lori has a much smaller role in chasing Quaid. Quaid lives in the Australian Free Colony and he commutes daily to work in London via a planetary shuttle that travels through a tunnel leading through the center of the Earth. The 2012 movie setting is solely on Earth in the 2050s, which has been devastated by nuclear and chemical warfare that has left only two places on Earth habitable: the mega city of London, England and the continent of Australia. The 1990 movie had the setting both on a war-torn Earth and on Mars. The 2012 film version of Total Recall borrows a lot of elements and plot storylines from the original 1990 movie, but with some differences. 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. 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. 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). 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. However, the procedure goes wrong and Quaid is soon hunted by UFB officers. 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. 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.
