Trivia:

John Getz (as Stathis Borans) is the only actor reprising a role from the original The Fly (1986).

Goofs:

Continuity: Martin accidentally views a videotape of Seth Brundle, in which Seth explains his accidental fusion with the fly. However, although the footage comes from The Fly (1986), that particular discussion between Seth and Veronica Quaife was never actually videotaped, unlike the interview with Seth that Martin watches earlier in the film.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Veronica Quaife (on videotape): Oh, my God! There's something wrong! I can feel it!

I wish I had a really big fly swatter for this one.

This is bad. Instead of a tragic, scary film like the first we have a gross, stupid film with an unclear and stupid ending. I wish I'd been afraid to see it. Instead I wasted 90 minutes of my life that I could have spent curing cancer.
