Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Seth Brundle was a renowned scientist whose warped experiments with teleportation transformed him into a man/fly hybrid called BrundleFly. A few months after the BrundleFly insect met its demise by his lover's, Veronica, shotgun, she dies while giving birth to their son, Martin. Seth's corrupt employer, Bartok, adopts Martin, only so Martin can solve the new problems that the still-functioning TelePods present and to use him as a science project because of the dormant insect genes. Martin is now fully grown, even though he is five, and the fly genes begin to awaken and make him just like dear, dead dad. With the help of his girlfriend, Beth, they go to wherever they can find a possible cure before Bartok finds them and brings them back, but not before Martin finishes his transformation into MartinFly, the deadliest of the BrundleFly species.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Chris Walas wanted Geena Davis to reprise her role as Veronica Quaife for the birth scene at the beginning of the film. Geena Davis declined, because she had found the maggot-baby dream sequence in the original film emotionally upsetting and was replaced by Saffron Henderson, despite being 10 years younger than Davis. See more » |
| Goofs | Martin accidentally views a videotape of Seth Brundle, in which Seth explains his accidental fusion with the fly. However, although the footage comes from The Fly (1986), that particular discussion between Seth and Veronica Quaife was never actually videotaped, unlike the interview with Seth that Martin watches earlier in the film.

| Quotes |
[meeting with Stathis Borans, now a bitter, crippled recluse]
Martin Brundle: I saw you on the videotape. You were... Stathis Borans: Don't sit there! Martin Brundle: You were there the night my father died; he was working on a cure. Stathis Borans: That's why you dragged yourself all the way out here? To find out about a cure? Martin Brundle: You're my only hope. Stathis Borans: Ah. Oh, kid, the last thing *I* am, is *anybody's* hope. You really don't want to hear about this. Martin Brundle: I *have* to know. Stathis Borans: Brundle stole my girl, your mother. Got her pregnant. Caused her death. Dissolved my hand and my foot with fly vomit! I had no love for the man. He "bugged" me! As for the "cure" he was working on: he dragged your mother kicking and screaming into that telepod, that they might be fused together in one beautiful body. So your mother blew his brains out with a shotgun. *There's* your *cure*. Go *away*. Beth Logan: You bastard! Where's your compassion? Stathis Borans: [chuckles] I had to give it up; it cost me an arm and a leg! Martin Brundle: It cost you more than that. See more » |
