Scanners - The End (Cronenberg - 1981)

[@kobzster06]

One of the all time underrated but great sci fi/horror movies.

[@TheCrimsonMetal]

my favorite duel of all time

[@Vlorsutes]

It's believed that at the end Cameron managed to forcibly switch minds with Revok, leaving Revok in his mutilated body which was then destroyed and Cameron in Revok's. That's why Revok has Cameron's eye color and a changed voice after the duel is over.

[@poncemon]

Man this is such a great movie. I loved the score. Very Haunting.

[@PierluigiPuccini]

A sick duel!

[@lejwocky]

I love this movie.

[@Dunes]

Been a long time since I saw this film,but that is one scary as hell scene. I wonder if they'll ever revive scanners in a new film?

[@RealidadIncorporada]

This movie is what X-men would be like with a more mature focus

[@swampmusicinfo]

Those effects are well done...on a shoe string using primitive techniques. Just the sight of blood oozing up is alot scarrier then an expensive CGI ripple effect that we know is a computer effect. I always liked this film but looking back at craftsmanship on the low budget , Im amazed

[@lolgeed]

One of the most frickin epic and gory movie endings ever!

[@laralila22]

J'adore !

[@PaceFilmsProductions]

howard shore's score during this last scene is amazing

[@angryagain3801]

kinda surprised noone has re made this movie yet

[@ragemanchoo82]

Why do his eyes explode? So weird :P And the sequence after this..which one of them is that speaking in the darkness?

[@SouthOx]

damn good effects for an old movie

[@dear1337er]

Your dad is awesome.

[@ohmygotmagloire]

Of course they're gonna use CGI...what was the last flick you saw that went balls out on practical effects?

[@lilbrothaaa]

That's no special effect! That's what it looks like when Michael Ironside is really pissed off!

[@lancetron4820]

You know I made those exact faces taking a shit after eating some jalapeños

[@swampmusicinfo]

Scanners is a bit of a classic , you miss out on the suspense of the film because the bad guy has blown up a guys head in first part of the movie, so at 0:50 your waiting for the hero to splatter. The bad guy by the time of the showdown has been built up to point figure the hero shouldnt go anywhere near him !

[@light101dark]

yeah theres going to be a remake

[@Zeegloo]

Everybody certainly deserves a chance... good performances can really come from anybody, whether they are a "serious actor" or not. The rest of the acting in Scanners was definitely leaps and bounds above Stephen Lack. I understand that the budget probably didn't allow them to hire a big star, but Lack's performance makes me thing Cronenberg hired him without a screen test. Maybe they're good friends? I dunno. All I know is that Lack certainly lives up to his name in the acting department.

[@Damaskox]

Mindfuck When you see it, you'll shit bricks. Jesus Christ what a video =O

[@nickmattio3397]

Well now...that escalated quickly! Cam should of just joined forces with Shining's Jack Nicholson here and ruled the world Magneto style

[@RocMegamanX]

Actually, this movie was made in Canada. Just saying.

[@ArloPignotti]

10 Seconds: The Pain Begins. 15 Seconds: You Can't Breathe. 20 Seconds: You Explode! You wish. 20 Seconds: Veins Pop 1 Minute: You Can't Breathe 3 Minutes: You burst Into Flames

[@Progo35]

Out of all of Cronenberg's films, Scanners makes the least sense to me from a narrative standpoint-I just didn't feel connected to the characters in the same way that I did for The Brood and The Fly.

[@mrfizy]

you mean Nicholson right?

[@TheMirrorVision]

the video is dubbed in italian not spanish although they do sound similar.

[@billthestinker]

that was a tough BM

[@SatansMullet]

i cant understand a word of it /sigh.. how i wish i had paid attention

[@ralphredimix]

DAMMIT HOUSER!

[@Zeegloo]

Oh boy. Clooney & Cage have won Oscars for their acting. Even Cage's BAD films (which are plentiful these days) aren't plagued with Lack's lack of charisma. Smith?! Why dont you watch Pursuit of Happyness or I Am Legend, both with great LEADING MAN performances. Cruise can act despite his tainted public image (Jerry McGuire or Born on the 4th of July) Even Keanu has given some spirited and ballsy performances (Bill & Ted and My Own Private Idaho) Cena: Not really an actor is he? Moving on...

[@Cordovan]

So who won?

[@TheDen-ec9xe]

Finalmente in italiano !!!

[@PHANTOMZ0NE]

I also prefer the old techniques to the new cgi.

[@ghostfire1234]

the meanest staring contest ever, well the guy burned because he blinked.

[@SkeltonKid]

Bad guy sort of looks like Bill Hader.

[@revolverroman]

so who the hell won??

[@Shanethefilmmaker]

If they CGI the exploding head scene i'm not watching it.

[@Sto0pidPenguinPro]

hey look its sam fisher versus human torch...wadd'ya know

[@Inyo22]

good gosh

[@aphuve77]

the bad guy looks a bit like kelsey grammer(fraiser)

[@gewmonster]

thats what you call a mind fuck!

[@apanst]

well thats strange... why did he wanna rip off his skin btw? :P

[@TheFunktasm]

Why is this Brazilian or what-have-you?

[@Captain_Corncobb]

What happened was the other guy whose eyes exploded transferred his concious into the bald guy and left that bald guy's concious in his own which dies and his lives on... or so says Wikipedia... D:

[@Gaur1983]

No,that's not Jack Nicholson.

[@DaiAtlus79]

thats michael ironside

[@Badgerthegreat]

Well, everybody deserves a chance. Like that guy in Planet Terror who runs the Go-Go bar... he's not a professional actor, he's the director's realtor! And he does a good job, I think. Anyway, I agree that Stephen Lack is a crappy actor, but his character is, after all, a generic goody-two-shoes hero type, so it kind of fits. And I'm sure you'll agree that Michael Ironside and Patrick McGoohan more than make up for his crappy performance.

[@konarider]

haha that was awesome!

[@peterjanssen1300]

Hokuto No Scanners 😁

[@MinecraftGamer-fj9vj]

[@Jamescush]

This must be the Spanish re-make.

[@southplnk]

michael ironside makes this whole movie lack went to bad acting school

[@Zeegloo]

Of course I saw the whole movie. Any idiot can play a character with no personality. The character MIGHT have had a personality, if he had been portrayed by an actor with a shred of talent. Stephen Lack should just stick to painting, I hear he's rather brilliant at it... unlike acting.

[@bloodsling]

MIchael Ironside..has been in alot of movies..this one..well..not his best work

[@Marmanandfriends]

holy shit! lol...

[@Aurongel]

OMFG, creepy :(

[@Barillasii]

the white shirt guy "leechs" the other guy

[@The_Real_DCT]

I seen worse George Clooney, Nick Cage, Keanu Reeves, Will Smith, Tom Cruise, John Cena

[@inad8787]

Oddio che schifo.. ma ci sono scene terribili...

[@funkcool]

hahahahahahahh!!!

[@Zeegloo]

Stephen Lack is by far the worst actor I've seen in a mainstream theatrical film.

[@light101dark]

yeah theres going to be a remake
