What happens

Scanners III: The Takeover (also known as Scanner Force in UK) is a 1992 Canadian science fiction horror film, the second sequel to the film Scanners. It was directed by Christian Duguay. The film received mixed reviews, and is the least successful Scanners film. This sequel has a different set of characters from either of the preceding films in the series. In addition to having the same director and screenwriter, this film also features a few actors from Scanners II: The New Order. For instance, Jason Cavalier from Scanners II: The New Order (with the exploding tumor) plays a punk leader in Scanners III: The Takeover. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
