He's back and even
fly-ier! This time he means buzzness!
Enjoyable sequel
which tells the story of Seth Brundle's son going from larvae, to child, to
adult, to house pest. He was taken at birth by some generic EvilCorp who keep
him housed in escape-proof labs where he is left to continue his dad's work.
The main bad guy/boss of EvilCorp has always known that when Mini-Brundle
reaches puberty, he will transform into a giant fly. For some reason he
considers this creature his most valuable asset. Why?
What cocking good
would a giant fly be? Presumably, as they normally do in such films, he has
military potential in mind? So instead of remotely piloted missiles that can
destroy a civilisation within the clench of a sphincter, this guy thinks the
future of warfare is sending an army of
large insects onto the battlefield? Certainly it would be an
intimidating sight, but any opposing strategists could probably prepare by
installing large heaps of rotting food and a giant lightbulb for them to buzz
around. Like the twats that occasionally make their way into my house do.
If any flies are
reading this, you're total dicks, with your 500 eyes and whatnot.
The first hour plods
a bit, but it really picks up in the last 25 minutes once he's fully
transformed. Excellent creature effects. I suppose they had pretty much reached
a peak in the late '80s before CGI invaded and spoiled everything.

"Am I a fly?"
"Don't be daft, Cuthbert. We're both penguins."
"I love you in that jumper. May I smell it?"
"No. ...Yes."
"Don't be all up in my shit. dawg."
Scene for the Japanese market. They love all that.
