Why did they midewipe Hauser at all in the remake?
In the original Total Recall it was done because Quatto was a mutant and psychic, he can peer into your mind and there is no way to fool him. So they needed Hauser to be rewritten with a new personality that could pass the leaders psychic test, but other stuff went wrong that messed up the plan.
Again in the remake the leader is just a guy, and the second they put Hauser in the chair a computer virus or whatever takes over. :dubious: There was no intent to fool anyone here.
