SCANNERS (1981) - Head Explosion

[TheAaron1375]

Man, if I had that kind of power people's heads would be coming off like champagne corks! I do try though!

[fluxcapacitor21]

I think he was thinking of dividing by zero

[lawnelson]

Lack of fiber.

[nicoroca87]

that's what happens when the shit won't come out

[tontsa911]

MIND = BLOWN

[PyroIsAGirl]

1:34 Here we go again!

[GoreDepeche]

I love iornside so much. I first saw him in total recal then V then i watched all his other stuff. An when he did the voice for sam fisher i just thought "this man is underated big time"

[IDMProdigy]

1:27 He is in his vinegar stroke

[MrDanceCrazer]

My mom told me that the blood was actually Jello stuffed into a clay head then i think they shot it with something. I will love to have "Head Jello" for dessert!

[BloodRawEngine89]

@MrDanceCrazer Something like that, or a bag of raw beef. Supposedley they actually DID use a shotgun to blow it up. Wouldn't be surprised if that was was the gun that made the sound effect lol.

[nigerjon]

1:33 Lovely puppet!

[xPray2die2dayx]

why does he make his head go pop?

[F14ace]

Listening to Justin Bieber will do that to you.

[blabblab1212]

@F14ace Last New Years Eve, my yellow Labrador Retriever was started acting funny when Justin started singing "Let It Be". As the song went on, the dog went into intense muscle spasms and uncontrolled frothing of the mouth. We were really scared because we didn't know what was going on. By the time we put 2 + 2 together and ran to shut the TV off, the dogs head exploded just like in this video. The vet said that a dozen other people lost dogs in the same way that night. So sad.

[jaleach123]

This is one of the goriest scenes ever filmed, but it's funny how his head explodes and no one is covered in gore.

[henleybidon]

Why did he do that ? O.O

[Hijinx1982]

LOL The guy on the left looks like he is having sex.

[sindydoll35]

@Hijinx1982 i think someone was wanking him off.

[sindydoll35]

@Alturqeyathome82 i bet hes great at giving head.

[GIRLIKESTACOS]

They filled the head up with fresh livers then shot it with a shotgun.

[powertoolification]

FUS RO DAH!

[NYCompany]

Avada Kedavra!

[marchrabbit85]

1:35 BOOM! HEADSHOT

[sweetcat113]

i keep seeing a picture of the guy's head exploding on a bunch of websites & i didn't know where it came from. now i have to go watch this movie, lol.

[otacon2snake]

He was thinking about lady gagas Dick

[GlenMuse795]

Oh Antlers, I love you. :3

[elcaminolovemachine]

i cant fap to this

[acdcrocks593]

01:32 You are welcome.

[eev24eshmolikali]

This takes One right back to the Planet Vulcan ( звёздная сверхновая ) 8,87A,60A,5B2(12) years ago. It looks quite convincing but it could be that they places an exploding ball with red dye behind his head and used trick photography. I can't believe they would kill a man to make a movie!

[MegaRockerD]

Boom Headshoot



[AMOVIEGUY14]

5 people had their heads explosion!

[MisterEvasion]

The now famous head pop scene was something that we examined frame-by-frame back in the old days with the VCR. Because it was done in the pre-CGI era, we were determined to figure out how they did it. Our guess was not far off. Wikipedia, as usual, provides the answer.

It still ranks high amongst the most gruesome scenes in sci-fi horror.

[W00CKEY]

1:30 Boom Headshot

[SYSPLUCK]

Like how there's no blood on the other guy.

[sarastarp99]

keep pressing 4. Its like a ghost effect O_O

[cynikalb]

Y U NO LET ME SHARE DIZ

[dark7element]

Hokuto Shinken wa muteki da! Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken!

[TeamGamingfull]

[daniel14]

Guy on the left: Gotta bust this nut.....HRRNNGGGGGG!

Guy on the right: I really gotta pee! Can't...hold it....in...FUUUUUUUUUUUUU...

[Beautykun]

@daniel14 BAHAHAHAHA!!!

[StickYaSelf85]

[CumInAsses]

[MegaBrianTheBest]

1:32 CLICK HERE

[maestrochulo]

David Cronenberg came correct with this masterpiece;this head explosion scene was shear genius compared to other sci-fi/horror movies that came before or after this,counting the finale of 1978's "The Fury" in which Amy Irving makes John Cassavetes' entire body explode into bits and pieces;lol.

[oldschoolbx1970]

January 23,1981,I saw this one at the Prospect theater in The Bronx that Friday afternoon afterschool with my uncle. The co-feature was Psyco Killer(1975). For the one who posted this on here,thanks. It's still the best scene ever.

[dmmamc]

Ginger Lynn was under the desk

[drpapa26]

Michael Ironside looks like he's having an orgasm.

[DRich111]

Ehh, why was his head full of blood and completely no brains ?

[ALOSTAMERICAN]

@DRich111 There was some brains in there, cause I'm hungry.

[ShadowSonic2]

@DRich111 And where was the bone?

[tmamone83]

The only thing good about the entire movie!

[ToroRosso20]

I am like this when taking test...all I need is my head blowing off to really be excused from taking it next time.

Whoops..

[nix0n002]

BOOM HEADSHOT

[PoisonInc]

This is why you don't drink Coke with a Mentos in your mouth.

[DancingShadowsUltd]

[NautyKnight]

I call bullshit on this! It was the man on the grassy knoll!

[melosebrainuhoh]

This is why you don't drink ten Red Bulls in one sitting, kids.

[djjimijo8]

I wish I could do that shit without using a baseball bat. It would be a whole lot of crackers with split wigs.

[zypherax]

Ah, headache gone.

[TheGuilliesuitSniper]

Guy's friend: hey what part did you play

[MrHydroman42]

OWNED

[arevachi22]

Haha Shane dawsons video sent me here lop

[TheGuilliesuitSniper]

why did his head explode?

[tonymasons]

@TheGuilliesuitSniper High blood pressure from eating too much McDonalds.

[MrHydroman42]

@TheGuilliesuitSniper the other guys mental powers where super strong so his brain couldn't handle it

[Brittonbubba137]

Headshot!

[JosephPage]

"Oh... He's dead, Min. Gentlemen, the chairman has just died."

*scattered applause*

[suedonym0]

You had to watch the movie to know how it happened.

[Donkeyhawk]

1:37 . . . he tries not to bust out laughing.

[SergentSpain]

also normal people would either faint or run if they saw that happen to some one, not just stand around there shocked.

[Joanthecutey]

there's no way this could happen in real life unless some one shot you in the head with a shot gun up really close range.

and a really good shot gun at that.

[aussersein]

fake.

[hapibth0pel3ss]

you know this can actually happen to people in real life..its called exploding head syndrome

[ApplySomePressure54]

@hapibth0pel3ss That's not what exploding head syndrome is, you derp.

EHS is just a very sudden, very loud screeching noise in your ears and is usually accompanied by a killer headache afterwards. It's not fatal, or even harmful at all.

[hapibth0pel3ss]

@ApplySomePressure54 well excuse me, i had no idea instead being a jerk face and calling me derp you could of told me nicely.

[ApplySomePressure54]

@hapibth0pel3ss I was just kidding when I said derp. hence why I said derp and not an actual serious insult.

[kuriosity89]

*Michael Ironside as he's leaving the table*: "Don't wanna be late for Hauser's party..."

[Thedoctor19000]

@kuriosity89: "See yau at vah Pahty, Richtah!"

[babysealsareyummy]

WAIT!! HE STILL HAS A PULSE!

[JojoMonReturns91]

Wonder if this will happen to Justin Bieber when he meets Paul Mccartney and Ringo Starr at the BRITS awards. XD

[JojoMonReturns91]

This is my usual day listening to Justin Bieber. XD

[lovinwoodstock]

Is he gonna be OK?

[Joanthecutey]

@lovinwoodstock well let me think, his heads gone, he's dead.

[sr22gts]

Tobias Fünke!! Noo!!!!

[thereaIblackcerberus]

Marked and Executed

[Micooliscool13]

[WrathOfPhropet]

[wtfomgstudios]

[TheGreaterGood80]

I love how Ironside just gets up and tries to casually walk away

[jelly269]

[Googlystube]

Boom! - headshot

[Arwingpilot]

I'm having a great time... not!

[videofreak857]

[bodeanism]

[Moonbutterfly7]
