Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, and Colin Farrell  are remaking the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic “Total Recall.” The movie’s stars talked to Maxim, on sale Thursday, about fighting, special skills, and the original movie’s iconic three-breasted hooker. MAXIM: Do you ladies think that after all the fight training you’ve done, you could beat up a bad guy in an alley?JB: I definitely feel like I could.KB: I think what’s dangerous about being an actor who does action movies is you think, Well, I can totally handle myself now. But if my opponent didn’t know the other half of the routine, I don’t know how well I’d do. HOT SHOTS: Biel and Beckinsale in Maxim. MAXIM: Kate, you’ve cornered the market in tight-fitting costumes. What was your most uncomfortable outfit?KB: Coming to “Total Recall” from “Underworld,” I very much appre­ciated the lack of rubber and leather and latex. But I would say probably my least favorite costume ever was in “Van Helsing.” That was a huge pain because it had thigh-high boots with 30 buckles on them that had to be done up individually. MAXIM: What gadgets from Total Recall do you wish you had in real life?JB: A hovercar.CF: A three-breasted hooker in a hovercar! That’s what I was hoping for as my wrap gift.KB: I like the phones that are in your hand. It’s a sort of implant that suddenly lights up and rings, and you put your hand to your ear. I probably say, “Where’s my phone?” about 15 times a day, so anything that could be implanted onto me like that—phone, keys, sunglasses—would be great. MAXIM: Are you surprised how excited people are about the return of the three-breasted hooker?KB: I have been quite surprised about that, especially in the age of people watching porn on their cell phones…. At one point, when it looked like I wouldn’t be able to play Lori, I was going to do a cameo as the three-breasted woman! MAXIM: Really?KB: Yeah, and I started fretting about where they’d put the third one. Have I actually got room for a third one in the middle, or would it go to the side? Would it then be under an armpit and actually not sexy? MAXIM: What special skills do you have that no one knows about?KB: Apparently, I’m very good at firing a gun without blinking, which is unusual. That’s why so many action characters have to wear sunglasses during shoot-out scenes. That’s my party trick.JB: I can walk on my hands.CF: If you spit chewing gum into the air, I can catch it.

Jessica Biel is on the cover of the April issue of W magazine, and inside she’s talking girl-on-girl fight scenes and Barbie sex.

No, really.

Biel on whether she rebelled in her teens: “I cut my hair super short and dyed it blonde. I had to apologize to Aaron Spelling [the producer] for doing that. He wasn’t happy. When I turned 17 or 18, a really obnoxious friend sent a stripper to the set. I had to apologize for that too. The show was all about family values, and they took that position seriously. I was always apologizing.”

Biel on her girl-on-girl battle with Kate Beckinsale in her upcoming movie “Total Recall”: “Fun—so fun! Our fight scene isn’t overtly sexy: just two trained fighters who happen to be women kicking the shit out of each other. It could be two dudes, but we just happened to have long hair and boobs and…other things [laughs]…Kate and I usually fight men in movies, and when you knock into a man, he doesn’t care. But every two seconds, Kate and I were saying, “I’m so sorry—are you okay?” We were both so nervous about fighting another woman. Which is strange, because I have no problem fighting with a guy…”

Biel on whether she played with Barbies growing up: “I did, but it was always, “Let’s play sex with Barbies!” My Barbies were usually naked. Once, I took their heads off, cut their hair, drew on their short, spiky hair with some markers, then stuck the heads on Christmas lights. Every year, we’d string our tree with those Barbie heads. It looked demonic.”

Biel on how she started acting: “When I was 11, I was in a competition sponsored by the International Modeling and Talent Association. You paid a certain amount of money and they taught you to walk a runway, present a comedic monologue, a dramatic monologue, a dance routine, and a song. My runway look was a one-piece bathing suit, a top hat, and a bow tie. The competition was in L.A., and afterward I got a manager and an agent. I tried out for a billion things, and after three years, I was cast on the show 7th Heaven.”
