Tagline: Something went wrong in the lab today. Very wrong.
Trivia: The scene where Seth and Ronnie are having coffee at the restaurant and is talking endlessly was only half scripted, while the remainder was written the night before the scene was going to be filmed, as Jeff Goldblum felt that he could add more to the character.
Goofs: Crew or equipment visible: Just as BrundleFly and the part of the Telepod are teleported together, a piece of an arm of a puppeteer in a blue shirt can be briefly seen behind the Telepod.
“Seth Brundle, a brilliant but eccentric scientist attempts to woo investigative journalist Veronica Quaife by offering her a scoop on his latest research in the field of matter transportation, which against all the expectations of the scientific establishment have proved successful. Up to a point. Brundle thinks he has ironed out the last problem when he successfully transports a living creature, but when he attempts to teleport himself a fly enters one of the transmission booths, and Brundle finds he is a changed man. This Science-Gone-Mad film is the source of the quotable quote “Be afraid. Be very afraid.” Written by Mark Thompson <mrt@oasis.icl.co.uk>”
