Anyone seen this Gem?

quote:

Scanners are men and women born with incredible telepathic and telekinetic powers. There are many who exercise the benefits of their special gifts in a safe and judicious manner. However, there is a group of renegade scanners who plan to create a race that will rule the world.

Haven’t seen it in a minute, but that scanner duel at the end is epic

I have this on DVD. The psychic fight at the end is great. Sequels aren't bad either

We snuck in to see it at the theater but when the guy's head blew up my buddy took off so I went with him

We were 13

Good times

I loved this movie when I was kid. Also an inspiration for one of SNL's best skits, Jimmy Tango's Fat Busters.

Actually watched this for the first time earlier this week. Been on a Cronenberg kick trying to catch up with his earlier stuff. Enjoyed The Brood and Rabid. Next up Fast Company then Dead Ringers.

My intro to Michael Ironside. We had Scanners on Betamax. Great Canadian movie.
