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
You can tell you are not in the 1950s anymore as the film opens with a salacious scene. The lovely and sultry Carol Grey wriggles out a window in her white nylon bra and panties under a very reflective full moon. She runs away in slow motion giving the leering audience every possible angle of her shapely buttocks jiggling down the lawn. Not only was this an obvious pandering but a significant step away from 50's button-down, pearl necklace sensibilities. She runs away from a lunatic asylum to be picked up by a scientist (who obviously had more sex in mind than good samaritan). Unfortunately he's part of the experiments started in the Fly.
Vincent Price is not in this Fly film since by this time he was under contract to another studio. However, I found this film to be better than its reputation. The Delambres, despite what has happened in the two previous films, have continued to experiment with the teleporter. The result has been more subtle but just has horrific. Now the Delambres are a family with various physical and mental ailments that are in danger of disintegration if an answer cannot be found. Oddly enough, after all the tragedy, they still think the answer to their troubles is the the teleporter. Many people don't like this film because it is quite a departure from the first two, but I think that is its strength.
The production code may not be dead at this point, but it is on life support. Plus this film was made in the UK and not subject to the old production code anyways. Probably worth a look if you liked the first two.
