Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film was rarely seen for many years after its original release in 1965. As a result of this, it was the only one of the original "Fly" films that never received a VHS or LaserDisc release. It did not even receive a home video premiere at all until 2007, when it was released on DVD for the first time ever, in "The Fly Collection", a 4-disc box set that contained both it and the previous two films in the trilogy, The Fly (1958) and Return of the Fly (1959), as well as a special features DVD.
- GoofsIn the film, during a conversation about the Delambre family legacy, a photograph is shown of the Fly from the film Return of the Fly (1959). It is said that the Fly in the photograph is Andre Delambre (David Hedison) from The Fly (1958), but the photograph is actually of Philippe Delambre (Brett Halsey), the son of Andre, from Return of the Fly (1959). There were no photographs taken of the Fly by anyone in either of the previous two films in the original "Fly" trilogy, so this photograph should not even exist in this one, the third and final film in it.
- Quotes
Albert Delambre: You're not God, you're not even human. You murdered those men and you made me a murderer too.
- Crazy creditsAt the end of the closing credits: "Is this the end?"
- Alternate versionsThe 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.

Featured review
Curse of the Fly may well be a surprise to you, as it was to me. Expecting some typically cheap, cheesy '60s B Horror film, I instead found a film that captured my attention with a better than average storyline, good acting, interesting, if dated, theories on teleportation, and some rather subtle humor. Burt Kwouk, who played the Chinese houseboy "Kato" in the Pink Panther films to Peter Sellers' Inspector Clouseau, and who seemed to be forever perpetrating sneak attacks on Clouseau, likewise turns up in this film as a Chinese houseboy, sans the martial arts bits. This time however, Kwouk is named "Tai". Yvette Rees, who plays the Chinese house'girl', as it were, is named "Wan". Tai and Wan? Taiwan?
Somebody obviously had a lot of fun writing the screenplay.
The opening scene, featuring the beautiful Carole Gray as Patricia Stanley escaping from a mental institution in her underwear as the opening credits roll, is one of the oddest introductory scenes to be seen in a film of this genre. Absolutely recommended for all fans of horror, suspense, '60s b&w's, camp, and films featuring unintentional humor
