Die Fliege

In a 1987 interview on Sinister Image (1987) Vincent Price revealed that when this remake was released, star Jeff Goldblum wrote him a letter saying, "I hope you like it as much as I liked yours." Price was touched by the letter, he composed a reply and went to see the film, which he described as "wonderful right up to a certain point... it went a little too far."

In the "steak experiment" sequence, Seth cuts the meat in two pieces, and teleports the bigger one. Later, Veronica eats a bit of this bigger half and finds that "it tastes like a steak", and when Seth gives her a piece of the smaller one and says "now try this teleported half", she finds that "it tastes synthetic". This is a continuity mistake. (It has been suggested that Seth deliberately misled Veronica as to which steak was teleported, to test Veronica's psychological reaction. However, this is unlikely; if the test were merely to determine Veronica's aversion to eating teleported meat, then it would not have led directly to the realization that the computer was incorrectly reassembling flesh).

The background for the opening titles consists of an optically distorted, swirling mass of colors, which gradually transform into the opening shot of the film. This is a representation of how biologists believe a fly's vision would appear to a human.

The Indian theatrical release was cut by 3 minutes by the Censor Board for an 'A' (adults) rating.

• The word 'Cock' spoken by Stathis in the dialogue "What? His cock?".
• Pick-up girl sitting on a chair, and reduced the love-making between her and Seth.
• The abortion dream sequence from the point where Veronica screams to the point where she is shown waking up. This means the visuals of the bloody maggot baby was removed entirely.
• In the climax: a. Seth crushing Stathis's hand. b. Seth vomiting on Stathis. c. Veronica pulling off Seth's jaw as he transforms.
