Something to do with decompression I think. You don't have to stop as many times on the way down or something?

Registered 10 years agoIt allows you to stay under water longer, as demonstrated by that freak recently, who kept his face under water for (iirc) 22 minutes, but only after breathing pure oxygen, or enriched air, or air with crispy bits in it or something.

Registered 11 years agowhatfruit is the winner.
It allows for longer dive times due to having less nitrogen in it.
It DOES NOT allow you to dive deeper - due to the higher percentage of oxygen you are more likely to suffer from oxygen toxicity.Not as nice as I used to be

Registered 5 years agoChrist, there's probably loads. Off the top of my head:
Blade Runner
Paycheck(que)
Total Recall (2 versions)
Isn't that Nic Cage film one of his too? Next?
Imposter
...blanking now.
Sure there's a couple more as well. I'll go with eight, but I can't name them.
EDIT: Minority Report. Scanner Darkly. Adjustment Bureau. Probably some more on top of those.

Registered 7 years agoMeme's list seems pretty close to all of them I'd have thought. The only one I'd add is Screamers, starring Peter Weller of Robocop fame, which would make 10. So I'll shoot with 10.Kirby is the man! Even if he wasn't, he'd just ingest and become one.

In which case I'm not sure Imposter would count either, because that might have been direct-to-video. Hmm.
Tempted to wiki just because I'm never going to get it and there's probably some obscure Canadian film of Man In The High Castle or something that no-one's ever heard of.GHOSTBUSTERS

Registered 7 years agoWhat are the 13? Wikipedia links to 12, which did the Philip K Dick page miss?
You've got Blade Runner, Total Recall, Total Recall with no-one getting their ass to Mars, Barjo, Screamers, Minority Report, Imposter (was released in US cinemas), Paycheck, Scanner Darkly, Next, Radio Free Albemuth & The Adjustment Bureau. That's 12 so far. What's the other that's actually been released? Google isn't helping with this one, every list I find has 12 max.

Registered 5 years agoYou've listed thirteen there.
EDIT: No you haven't - was reading Scanner and Darkly as two films for some reason. Ignore me.

Registered 7 years agoI'm afraid I'm sticking with 12 as the official answer, though it's a moot point anyway. Given I based my guess on meme's list plus one, I think you should be the the one quizzing us now.Kirby is the man! Even if he wasn't, he'd just ingest and become one.
