That is one of the best parts of the movie to be honest with you.

when does it happen in the movie?
Never mind I got the movie and watched from the beginning now I saw that exploding head and it's more interesting

To be honest watching for the first time but the times were different back in 81' and I was 10 at that time.

But I sasw that micheal ironside was in it and stayed too finish but I must of missed the exploding head and I was watching on flixe.

I agree still effective after all that time

Yes it is very effective and it remains in your head after 29 years. The other SCANNERS movie continues with this effect as well from what I can remember.

It has been a long time since I have seen Wayne's World, but I do believe you are correct that Garth mentions about it in the film.

One of the only good parts in the movie. Scanners wouldn't still be talked about as much as it is without that scene.

Yes it was a very good part in the movie to be honest with you. Yes the exploding head is what made Scanners famous and spoken about for many years all right.

Last month I just completed my first film script called THE POSSESSION OF INNOCENCE. I have a Facebook page under the title of the movie. If you would like to find out who has been casted for the movie then check it out under the title of the movie. Thank you for your time, help, and support.

That scene is one of the greatest anti-CGI arguments in Hollywood history. If they ever remade Scanners it would definitely suck.

Yeah, that and the werewolf transformation in American Werewolf in London

So true. I saw this movie as a sneak preview so I had no warning this scene was going to occur.

A classic scene.

For me it always just seems to happen. It always seems unexpected. It was a really big deal back in the day and the effect still works well today.

That's the great thing about a good physical effect. Same goes with the ending of The Fury.
