I think the Scanners remake has been cancelled. The page about it has disappeared from the IMDB, although I have yet to find any news proof that the remake isn't going to happen.--MythicFox 08:04, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Cant we get the pic of that scanner's head exploding near the start of the film?
Thank god.203.53.167.180 08:18, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
I have a GIF of it, would it be possible to have a link to it rather than having it shown directly as well as a disclaimer or somthing to let them know its pretty graphic? Its not that bad, made me spit out my drink and start laughing because it was so random :P —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.156.28.128 (talk) 10:24, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
Wikipedia is not censored, the picture should be put back up.--75.156.104.246 (talk) 20:24, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

It's possibly to interpret the ending in another way. You could see it as only one of them survived, and you are not sure which person is in the body, couldn't you?
The plot summary mentions that "We've won" are Cameron's last words. Did they mean the last words of the film, or did I miss something? Either way, should be edited for clarity.--76.10.75.168 (talk) 01:10, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
For instance, I had a fairly strong online argument with David Gerrold once about whether Star Fleet in the Star Trek universe was military or not. Gerrold reported from his own knowledge that Roddenberry intended it to not be military, but while acknowledging the accuracy of his reporting and the factuality of Roddenberry's intention, my argument was the evidence of what we have seen and heard make it quite clear that Star Fleet is military. The creator's intentions are one thing, what actually resulted from them was quite another.Ed Fitzgerald t / c 21:39, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
I've removed this section and put it here as it is essentially a list and is unsourced. It needs to be converted into prose, properly cited and integrated back into the article.--J.D. (talk) 16:49, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
Please do not remove the section again until a discussion has been held here and there is a consensus to do so. Ed Fitzgerald t / c 17:02, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
I heard there was an incident where a couple of stuntmen ending up being killed accidentally. I also heard that one of the actors nearly got his head burned. Is this true? And is there evidence to support it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.171.37.139 (talk) 01:36, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

The section on "Physiology of a Scanner," while well-written, seems to be entirely original research. Any sources we can add to it? Dayewalker (talk) 17:09, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
1. “Vale has been able to get by using his telepathy to make people eating near him allow him to partake of their meals.” Not explicitly established. ISTM he’s simply been eating unfinished meals left behind.
2. “Vale psychically overhears two women talking negatively about him, when suddenly one of them begins to convulse. Without knowing he is responsible for this, Vale attracts the attention of two ConSec agents.” Not explicitly established that Vale doesn’t know he’s hurting the woman. Or is it that he doesn’t know he’s responsible for attracting the agents’ attention? Clarification needed.
3. In popular culture: not every exploding head is a reference to Scanners. Sometimes an exploding head is just an exploding head.
a. “Consistently, their favorite film was Scanners, with all other films compared to it and found wanting.” I’m an SCTV fan and do not remember Big Jim McBob and Billy Sol Hurok mentioning Scanners at all, let alone “consistently.” I could be wrong, but citation needed either way.
b. “A man’s head explodes when the THX audio track Deep Note plays.” Could just be an exploding head; not particularly Scanners-like.
c. “Peter eats a Fudgsicle in one bite, then winces, screams, and his head explodes.” Could just be an exploding head; not particularly Scanners-like.

ALRIGHT. I HAD to post this review here since IMDB probably wouldn't approve my review. And I NEED to let others to read it. So here's that:
I had high hopes for this film, but it was just weird. And never really focused on the wonders of telepathy, which is a mind-to-mind ability, not "nervous system to nervous system" ability.
With that said, what's with the large number of reviewers saying that Scanners have teleKINETIC abilities?
Hello? They're TELEPATHS. Scanners have only demonstrated very minor telekinetic and pyrokinetic abilities. Along with the TECHNOpathic ability to read and control MACHINES
Learn the goddamn difference.
Telepathy - Connects two minds together which allows for the direct transmission of information. Abilities include mind reading, mind control, illusion projections, consciousness transferral, mind switching, and mind blasts where you overload another's mind to stun, render unconscious or kill.
Telekinesis - Moving objects with one's mind.
What's so fucking hard to understand? Or are you all old people who are too stupid to understand?
Almost all the review on this movie state that they're telekinetic, discovered telekinetic powers or use telekinesis to control machines (it's technopathy morons)
Movie even mentioned that they were TELEPATHIC CURIOUSITIES. Jesus fucking christ.
Not sure why people confuse the two so fucking much or think Professor X of X-Men has telekinetic powers.
