Did a restored version ever get released? One thing I recall David Cronenberg telling me was there was at least one cut. The exploding head shot near the start was shortened. The body slums down as blood is spraying out. I saw it theatrically with David Cronenberg introducing it at a TIFF retrospective of his career. They had a new print struck for the screening, but that footage was missing.
He was able to get some of his films that were censored restored, such as the Brood and Shivers. I never heard about that one. Also the scissors scene in the Dead Zone was trimmed to avoid an unrated release.

What's the current best version of Scanners in your opinion?
