Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaVincent Price signed on for the film after reading the first draft of its script; however, the studio demanded re-writes in order to reduce production costs. The re-writes reportedly removed much of what Price liked about the film's first draft.
- GoofsIn the film, when Francois and Philippe visit Andre's laboratory from the previous film The Fly (1958), the messages Andre wrote to Helene on the blackboard can still be seen on it. But at the end of that same film, Helene had told Inspector Charas that she had erased them all off of the blackboard in order to cover up all traces of Andre's experiment.

Featured review
"The Return of the Fly" takes place many years after "The Fly". The dead scientist from the original film had a son, Philippe, and this young man has grown up and has a fixation of finishing his father's experiments...the same one that turned him into two fly/human hybrids. However, what he doesn't know is that his friend and lab assistant, Alan, is evil and plans on stealing the project. Ultimately, Alan deliberately turns Philippe into the hybrids and shoots Philippe's uncle (Vincent Price) as well!! What a jerk-face! Can they manage to find both fly-brids and reintegrate them back to the creatures they once were? And, can Alan be punished for his infamy?
Rarely would I say this, but this sequel is about equal in quality to the original film. Considering it came out only a year later, this isn't such a huge surprise. It also managed to be creative and original as well as entertaining. Well worth seeing...just like the prior film.
