Continuity mistake: During the big sex scene you see red marks on Michael Douglas's back. These red marks are from when Sharon Stone scratches him. The thing is, she scratches him a minute AFTER you see the red marks on him for the first time.

1/10.Dumb as all get out.Get Sharon Stone naked several times and what else is there?We're supposed to believe she's a deadly psychopath or whatever.Michael Douglas should be embarrassed by this debacle as Sharon Stone can't act.She drags everything she's in down except for Total Recall.

Beth Garner: Something's going on. You're sleeping with her, aren't you?
Nick: Why are you interested in her?
Beth Garner: My interest is in you, not her. She seduces and manipulates people. She'll do anything she can.
Nick: I thought you hardly knew her?
Beth Garner: I know the type. I'm a psychologist.
Nick: That means... you manipulate people too! You're a practicing psychologist. You're better at it than she is.
Trivia: Before Sharon Stone was cast as Catherine, Michelle Pfeiffer, Julia Roberts, Kim Basinger, Kelly McGillis, Greta Scacchi, Emma Thompson and Mariel Hemingway all turned down the role.
Question: Did Stone have a motive for all that she did or was she nuts and doing it all for fun?
Answer: I would say her motive mostly amounts to exploiting others and real-life stories to create more fascinating and complex stories to satisfy her insatiable ego, whether she chooses to kill them or not in the story.
Answer: She is portrayed as a psychopath with an uncontrollable urge to kill.

I wouldn't say that she had an "urge" to kill. Rather, she was willing to "dispose" of people by killing them. She would kill people who were in her way or were no longer interesting/useful.
