Scanners means cool exploding heads. Scanners II means the unexploded and hence only slightly less attractive head of our "hero," David. Scanners means British character actor and star of The Prisoner, Patrick McGoohan. Scanners II means Rastafarian Taylor Negron lookalike Drak. Milwaukee means beer...

WATER ON THE BRAIN
"You're not allowed to look at me!"
"At least you don't have canine encephalitis!"
"We need a new order in our society."
"Leave David to me. We have a... special relationship."
"I'm going to suck you dry, pretty boy!"
"If you want to slip into my mind... go gently..."
"You just turned into me!"
