Scanners/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 05:41, 26 February 2014

Crazy Awesome
Complete Monster: The child serial killer in Scanners 2 who poisoned milk cartons with strychnine, and luckily gets apprehended by David.
Crowning Moment of Awesome: Revok's moment is obvious. Vale's is probably the final twist in the film.
Evil Is Cool: Revok, that Magnificent Bastard
First Installment Wins: Did you know there's four more Scanners films? No? Not surprising, considering the Sequelitis.
Hilarious in Hindsight: "Nobody's ever shut down a scanner before."
- Arguably also the name of Dr. Ruth, considering this was just before that Dr. Ruth started becoming more well-known.
Memetic Mutation: The infamous Your Head Asplode scene is used as a reaction image, especially on Cracked and Topless Robot.
Narm: The sequels increasingly narm things up in general. Scanner duels also seem to gradually devolve into "whoever makes the weirdest face wins".
Sequelitis: The sequels did not involve any of the original cast or crew, and rapidly decrease in quality.
Visual Effects of Awesome: Dick Smith's makeup effects are still very impressive over thirty years after the film's release.
