    • Trivia
      This film was rarely seen for many years, as it was the only entry in the trilogy to never to receive a videotape or laserdisc release. It did not receive its home video premiere until 2007, when it was released on DVD in a box set with the original series of films.
    • Goofs
      During the conversation about the FLY legacy, a photo is shown of the FLY from the movie Return of the Fly (1959). It is said that the Fly in the photo is Andre Delamere (David Hedison). In fact, the photo is of Philipp Delamere (Brett Halsey), the son of Andre from Return of the Fly (1959). There were no photographs taken of the Fly in any of the previous two Fly movies. So the photo should not exist in this movie.
    • Quotes

      Albert Delambre: You're not God, you're not even human. You murdered those men and you made me a murderer too.

    • Crazy credits
      At the end of the closing credits: "Is this the end?"
    • Alternate versions
      The UK cinema version was cut by the BBFC to reduce a shot of 2 previously teleported victims inside a glass cabinet in Albert Delambre's laboratory. The 2006 DVD is uncut.

    A chilling finale to a classic series!
    I wasn't too impressed by "Return of the Fly", but it still fascinated me! When I learnt that there was a third one, I was quite intrigued to see it. I just watched it for the first time on DVD, and I was quite impressed on how smart the story was, and even though there is no Human-Fly monster in it (which, to be honest, is a smart approach), I thought it was more clever to base the movie around the Delambre legacy, rather than focus on the whole "man gets gene-spliced with a fly" blah blah blah! To be honest, I was expecting something REALLY dreadfully cheesy, but surprisingly, I loved it! The visuals (especially, the opening credit sequence, very well thought up!), and the originality of it is superbly done! It's got the classic horror movie style down perfectly! True its not as frightening as say... Alien, but, for its time (1960s), the mutant make up and story are very well sorted! TOTALLY UNDERRATED!
