For me, Jeff Goldblum’s performance is easily one of the best in any horror film I’ve seen. The way his mannerisms evolve over the course of the film to resemble The Fly and how heartbreaking he becomes by the time it’s too late is what sticks with me
The fly doesn't take hold immediately because it's mass is so much smaller than Brundle, whereas the door of the pod is more equal. Think about if you place a small drop of food colouring into water, it will slowly disperse into the water eventually colouring it all over time. Whereas if you drop in a shot glass worth it will colour the water immediately.
I think it's pretty futile to try to explain how it works because almost nothing teleportation-related makes any sense in this movie. If Brundle's computer has the unpleasant habit of not reproducing the original presented to him exactly as it finds it, why did it cross Brundle with this specific fly of all things? It could just as well have genetically combined him with every single-celled organism in the telepod. Or even more obviously: It could have taken the approximately 4 cubic meters of air that are in the pod and made a gigantic meat balloon or whatever out of Brundle. The "artificial" taste of the steak, which was previously teleported, cannot be explained either. With the piece of meat, the computer apparently made no mistake and arranged the molecules correctly. In this case, it shouldn't taste any different than the original. Please don't get me wrong. I loved this film as a child and I still do, but not only from a physical point of view but also from a purely logical one it is nonsense. 😁 Sorry for my clumsy English, I don't speak it that often. 🙂
@ Well firstly I wasn’t explaining exactly ‘how’, more simply the ethos around why there was a difference in timing. In regards to your points on single celled organisms and the air in the pod, it’s pretty logical that the computer would have had to be programmed to account for naturally occurring ‘background noise’ in order to identify subjects within the pod. Even if it did somehow try to combine the air, the pods aren’t air tight, so it wouldn’t be possible for the computer to achieve that outcome as it can’t create a vacuum in the pod. It’s logical it would be programmed to ensure a breathable atmosphere remained to ensure test subjects survived. The steak point is discussed in the movie, he posits that the steak has been recreated not transported. As such it isn’t the same steak. Twins are biologically identical… doesn’t make them the same person. But more to the point, it’s a movie… it doesn’t need to be scientifically flawless.
Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis got married a year after the movie's release but called it quits in 1992. He even dated Laura Dern while they were filming JURASSIC PARK, but ended the relationship in 1997.
Yes to more Roxy and Coy reactions! Also, I think I first saw this movie as a young child. I was born in the early 80s though. So adults would just watch stuff regardless of who else was there LOL... I will never forget the childbirth scene ever ever
One of the best Sci-fi Body Horror Thriller Films ever made! It won the Oscar for Best Makeup. It made $60 million dollars against a $10-11 million dollar budget. It's also one of the best horror remakes alongside THE THING and THE BLOB.
@misschiefmanager6670 I think it's considered a great remake now. The special effects are pretty great. The changes in usual movie cliches are great. The good guy dies, so does the hero sheriff who believes in the bad boy drop out. Even an innocent kid. It's different, but in the best way.
Cronenberg tried out four different epilogue scenes but wasn't satisfied with any of them, so he finally gave up and decided nothing could follow the actual death of Brundle.
There was this great period in the 80's where there were terrific remakes of 1950's horror classics, such as "The Fly" and "The Thing". In the same vein, PLEASE also react to "The Blob" 1988, which also has outstanding practical effects.
They built a tumbling room for Brundle to crawl around on the ceiling as they glued and nailed down everything to create the effect. As a matter of fact, THE THING almost had a sequence where the Palmer Thing was going to run across the ceiling and drop down on the character Windows, with its jaws wide open, but it was scrapped.
"Be afraid. Be very afraid." was also used on the poster. "Is it live, or is it Memorex?" was the slogan (used in commercials and print) for Memorex cassette tapes. "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly" is a children's folk song written in the 1940's. Though horrific, I think this movie is more of a tragedy than any other genre.
There's a sequel: THE FLY II (1989). There was never a third. There's an original trilogy: THE FLY (1958), RETURN OF THE FLY (1959) and CURSE OF THE FLY (1965)
If you want peak Goldblum you need to watch Earth Girls are Easy, also featuring Geena Davis along with Jim Carrey and Damon Wayans . Came out 2 years after this masterpiece.
"I'm an insect who dreamt he was a man and loved it. But now the dream is over... and the insect is awake." On the surface some of the most amazing body horror ever made, but ultimately a beautifully tragic love story where the *sshole ex boyfriend is instrumental in saving the day. And Jeff Goldblum should have at LEAST had an Oscar nomination if not the win for this performance.
Most dudes would have told her to take a flying leap when she turned to him for help. Many people take being jilted badly, it doesn't make them a-holes.
@@Montaguish No, but constantly S-harassing your ex and not respecting their privacy to the point of keeping a key to their house that you were asked point blank to relinquish does. Stathis gets credit for doing good in the last act but that doesn't justify or completely absolve his horrid behavior in the first two.
@@HobGungan I would say sacrificing a hand and a foot and almost your life for a broad that compared you to something on her shoe more than makes up for being an immature ass when jilted. Plus calling in a favor for an illegal midnight abortion places him in simp -ville.
25:30 ‘But where’s the fly?’ … ‘And also are we ever gonna answer that question?’ … ‘I think we gotta answer it.’ Oh yes, Roxy, Coy, we definitely get that answer.
Cronenberg's actually a surprisingly good actor, he just doesn't do it a lot. He's FANTASTIC as the main villain in Clive Barker's Nightbreed, he genuinely gives me chills every time I watch that because he presents such a spin-chillingly effective portrayal of a soulless psychopath masquerading as a functionally rational human being. I also really enjoyed his turn as a very eloquent conspiracy theorist in Disappearance At Clifton Hill.
Absolutely! I love the character of Decker and Cronenberg's portrayal of him! That's how I immediately recognise his voice as the doctor in the giant maggot dream sequence
OMG YES ROXY & COY !!! Been looking forward to this reaction ever since you mentioned it months ago 😂This is probably my favorite body horror film. Jeff Goldblum did an amazing job he's phenomenal!
i think Jeff Goldblum was a bigger name than Geena Davis when this was made. Fun fact, she would read “the Accidental Tourist” to Jeff while he was in makeup before going on to win her Oscar for her role in the film.
@@piehard136 He was the star of Into the Night 1985 opposite Michelle Pfeiffer and directed by John Landis. Its a quirky Odyssey running around Los Angeles from hitman David Bowie and a bunch of Iranian henchmen with a B.B. King Soundtrack. He was also a part of the ensemble cast of The Big Chill before this as well.
The fact you guys went in expecting horror comedy made the 2nd half that much better 😂. Would love to see Roxy and Coy continue on a body horror journey!
This was the 2nd movie that Goldblum and Davis worked together, the first being "Transylvania 6-5000" (1985). Davis and Goldblum would marry one another in 1987.
Roxy might not remember. But David Cronenberg has a cameo at the beginning of Friday the 13th JASON X! He's the white haired scientist with the round glasses. Jason spears him with a javelin looking piece of metal.
This is no horror film, it's a tragic love story. You really feel sorry for what happened and want Seth to reverse the effects and just as bad for Ronnie watching him deteriorate.
If you want to see more classic Goldblum react to Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978). And if you want to see more incredible full body makeup but shown in a very moving story react to The Elephant Man.
i like your question 'how do you un-fly yourself' - i guess technically if brundle did go through the system and the computer could differentiate between fly and brundle, and if he had a sample of his original dna code, it could transport and separate the code if it is reconstructing him during transport arrival....- but then there would be no movie lol. Geena and Jeff like their weird theme films together - they also did 'Earth girls are easy' with an unknown actor then called Jim Carey :)
You know he could’ve just used his machine to teleport objects and completely cornered the market on delivery service instead of taking it to the level he does.
The two iconic lines in this movie were, “be afraid, be very afraid” and “Help me! Help me be human.” The “help me” line was also from the original “The Fly” movie. That was a good one too.

If you are old enough to recall the days of audiocassette tape, you may remember a commercial aired beginning in 1971 for a company called Memorex, which asked the question, “Is it Live or is it Memorex?” In the commercial Ella Fitzgerald sang a note that shattered a wine glass while her voice was being recorded on a Memorex tape. When they played the tape Ella’s voice still shattered a glass. 🍷
19:00 This issue what "AI" like ChatGPT is about and why so many get confused. ChatGPT isn't an AI per se, it just replicates what has already been written. Forming sentences based upon enormous amounts of examples. Even back when this was made they identified the step needed to turn the "Language model" into a true "AI". Not just replicating existing translations but forming unique ones based upon understanding. Like forming your own opinions based on data and experience instead of basing them on other peoples opinions. The first baboon was correctlu re-assembled but only on the basic molecular level. The other structures weren't programmed to be taken into consideration, like "skin goes outside of the organs". :)
The guy he arm wrestled in the movie is George Chuvalo, former heavyweight boxer. Chuvalo fought Muhammad Ali twice, Joe Frazier, George Foreman, etc. In 93 professional fights, he was never knocked down once.
There's a conversation to be had about actors who stop acting and just start being exaggerated versions of themselves in films. I love Jeff Goldblum, but this was back when he actually performed. Now, he goes hard on what people call the Goldbulm-isms. But if you watch his early stuff, he's an incredible actor when he really goes in for a performance. Not that he's not good in his recent performances, but pretty much after The Lost World: Jurassic Park, he started leaning into the Goldblum-isms.
The Fly is my all time favorite body horror. I always see the film as a body horror/tragedy. The practical effects and fly makeup is so amazing. I also love the music.
If you like Geena Davis, you should check out "A Long Kiss Goodnight" with Samuel L. Jackson. She got a face to look at and he's got a mouth to listen to, its a great action movie.
One of the best remakes. Ngl I've seen the trailer for the newest Wolfman and it just gives me The Fly vibes and I'm not holding my breath on it. I would call this horror/sci-fi
I think ye misinterpreted the 'the flesh makes you crazy' line. They weren't talking about the effects of eating flesh. They were talking about the look, feel, heat taste etc of flesh while it's on another person and the effect it can have on other people (in a non cannibalistic way).
The BAFTA winner for Makeup and Hair that beat _The Fly_ was _The Name of the Rose_ (1986) and winner for Special Visual Effects was _The Witches of Eastwick_ 1987.
Where did they get the idea that this was a comedy? 😂 I saw this when it came out in ‘86. I was fairly familiar with Cronenberg, so I was kind of expecting what was coming. 80s horror movies pre-CGI were a trip.
Chris Walas. The man behind the fly creature effects of this movie. Feels either poetic or ironic that four years after The Fly, he moved on to another insect-related film called Arachnophobia.
"I don't think this movie is that kind." No, it's not. Not at all. Also, the film is a commentary on oldage and degenary diseases and how it changes our loved ones and the pain it causes to see them changing into something else.
I need this "dinamic duo" do more reactions The Fly 2 is not as good as the first one but it have some good moments and really great special effects and make up

Guess what...
We need a react to Long Kiss Goodnight.
Watch the sequel.
You guys should watch the sequel. It follows his son. It's great.

I still stand on the hill that he should've gotten an Oscar nom for this movie.
He is really good in this. Another actor that has a nack for this kind of characters is Sam Neill.
The insect politics speech...one of the all time great monologues.
@@80Jay71 Like in Possession and In the Mouth of Madness.
@@Alazoom76 That monologue is pure poetry, especially with Jeff Goldblum's incredible delivery.

Surprised he didn’t go after the woman who played his wife on Independence Day
So he wasn't really acting when he was playing Ian Malcolm. He's always on the lookout for the next future ex-Mrs Goldblum.
@@reconsoldier135 Margaret Colin? Maybe he did and got shot down and maybe they got down and kept is secret. who knows.
@@trembledust6819 I always thought she was hot
You never forget the first time you watch The Fly. I sure didn’t.
Agreed. Also, don't watch this movie with a full stomach.
Jeff Goldblum deserved an Oscar nomination for this movie, and was tragically overlooked. His "insect pollitics" monologue is phenominal!
It was the 80's, having your own espresso machine at home was pretty baller.
Yes to more Roxy and Coy reactions!
Also, I think I first saw this movie as a young child. I was born in the early 80s though. So adults would just watch stuff regardless of who else was there LOL... I will never forget the childbirth scene ever ever

Makes sense.
This is a remake of a 1958 film but with Cronenberg’s spin on it. This is a great horror film.
Normally, I dislike remakes of older movies, but this movie is one of the few exceptions to that. "Night of the Living Dead" from 1990 is another one.
@@IggyStardust1967The Thing is another good one.

Thanks for reminding us to not drink and teleport.
The Fly 2 (1989)
I thought i remembered a sequel. Roxy & Coy should definitely react to Fly2!
More mean-spirited but a solid gory horror sequel.
Its not the worse 80’s movie but it does pale in comparison to the original 🤘🏼
FL:Y 2 has THE BEST FACE MELTING SCENE EVER PUT TO FILM
FLY 2 is every bit worth it and almost IMO a better movie
this is probably my favorite body horror film of all time
Its up there for me but the substance is right up there now too
Can I throw you my body horror? The Fly 86 is also a favorite of the genre for me, and it was he who inspired me to write this thriller of his).
There was this great period in the 80's where there were terrific remakes of 1950's horror classics, such as "The Fly" and "The Thing". In the same vein, PLEASE also react to "The Blob" 1988, which also has outstanding practical effects.
Yes!!!
Another amazing 80's remake of a 50's film.
Also, "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers" it had Jeff in that as well and Donald Sutherland. Excellent interpretation.
@@AnnaB22 good suggestion. There have been so many remakes of that story, and I think the one with Goldblum is the best.
Yes! The Blob! Definitely in top 10 most moist movies ever!
Roxy and Coy together again!!! The Fly, still one of the best horror movies ever made and a favorite of mine from director David Cronenberg.
What was their previous video that went wild?
@@candicelynnHthe Thing 😂
They built a tumbling room for Brundle to crawl around on the ceiling as they glued and nailed down everything to create the effect. As a matter of fact, THE THING almost had a sequence where the Palmer Thing was going to run across the ceiling and drop down on the character Windows, with its jaws wide open, but it was scrapped.
That makes so much sense given the way Palmer randomly flies to the ceiling at one point for no apparent reason
Same trick used in Poltergeist
"Be afraid. Be very afraid." was also used on the poster. "Is it live, or is it Memorex?" was the slogan (used in commercials and print) for Memorex cassette tapes. "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly" is a children's folk song written in the 1940's. Though horrific, I think this movie is more of a tragedy than any other genre.

It's got great practical effects and a truly satisfying ending!
For Rick And Morty fans, in season 1 episode 6 when Rick accidentally turned everyone on earth into Cronenberg’s, THIS is what he meant.
Out of all the body horror and gross out scenes the most memorable moment is Geena Davis having her birth nightmare (And the acid spitting) 😂
25:30 ‘But where’s the fly?’ … ‘And also are we ever gonna answer that question?’ … ‘I think we gotta answer it.’

Sooo good
"I think even the Supreme Court would say you could get rid of this one, Babe"....👍

Indeed it was.
Of course, it would take the court 3 years to render a decision.
This current SCOTUS.... ummmmm I'm not so sure.
This movie traumatized me as a kid
still traumatized 40 years later...
i think Jeff Goldblum was a bigger name than Geena Davis when this was made. Fun fact, she would read “the Accidental Tourist” to Jeff while he was in makeup before going on to win her Oscar for her role in the film.
I certainly hadn't heard of Goldblum before this but I remember Davis from Fletch (1985)

Love that
15:04 sorry Roxy, but you're wrong on this one. "Computers are fast but dumb" is still the case today. It has not changed
“How do you un-fly yourself?”
Hahaha heres the thing: You Don’t.
Great reaction you have to react to the sequel THE FLY 2 it’s insane
This was the 2nd movie that Goldblum and Davis worked together, the first being "Transylvania 6-5000" (1985). Davis and Goldblum would marry one another in 1987.
After this they did Earth girls are easy
Roxy might not remember. But David Cronenberg has a cameo at the beginning of Friday the 13th JASON X! He's the white haired scientist with the round glasses. Jason spears him with a javelin looking piece of metal.
I'm very impressed that Coy got the "Memorex" remark, considering he was quoting a popular commercial from the 80s.
He didn't get it. Amusingly he thought it was some Betamax or VHS competitor standard. Was in the right time zone but not in the right city.
@@curtisbme Eh, I give him credit for at least being in the ballpark.
No, he thought it was Betamax. That's not even close.
Roxy and The Fly is an excellent combination.
Not in "the pods", but rather in a reaction sense.
One word:
Scanners.
For me is the king of Cronenberg's body horror films.
Praper edited the famous quote. "Be afraid. Be very afraid." This was an excellent reaction. I haven't seen The Flu in a while. Thanks, guys.
Yeah, the flu took a vacation lol.
11:56 Bloomberg and Gena Davis are also in "Earth girls are easy" also features Damian Wayans and Jim Carry.
Earth Girls was 1988 and Carrey was in a few films before Earth Girls incl The Dead Pool, the final Dirty Harry film.
Earth Girls Are Easy is NOT older than The Fly, and that is NOT Carrey's first movie lol
It’s gross, sure, but so good. Jeff Goldblum is phenomenal and Geena Davis is just luminous.
This is no horror film, it's a tragic love story. You really feel sorry for what happened and want Seth to reverse the effects and just as bad for Ronnie watching him deteriorate.
Tragic scientist story
It can be horrific at times though when he's changing and people get messed up.
I don’t know - the teeth and the fingernails dropping out/off are pretty horrific. But otherwise I agree.
I think it's both. It can be both!
Right?
My favorite tragic love story is Event Horizon.
If you want to see more classic Goldblum react to Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978).
And if you want to see more incredible full body makeup but shown in a very moving story react to The Elephant Man.
It's not a horror it's a tragic love story.
It is horrific and tragic.
It can be both!
A little old lady who swallowed a fly is not the same Little Old Lady Who lived in a shoe.
Don't they teach nursery rhymes anymore?
i like your question 'how do you un-fly yourself' - i guess technically if brundle did go through the system and the computer could differentiate between fly and brundle, and if he had a sample of his original dna code, it could transport and separate the code if it is reconstructing him during transport arrival....- but then there would be no movie lol. Geena and Jeff like their weird theme films together - they also did 'Earth girls are easy' with an unknown actor then called Jim Carey :)
The Fly II wasn’t terrible, and you find out what happened to her baby.
You guys are really fun together! I'd love more reactions with the two of you!!
You know he could’ve just used his machine to teleport objects and completely cornered the market on delivery service instead of taking it to the level he does.
Guess what? The Fly 2 [1989] should be next for your reaction 😉
"It's at least a quarter fly"... hahahaha Coy 😂
The two iconic lines in this movie were, “be afraid, be very afraid” and “Help me! Help me be human.” The “help me” line was also from the original “The Fly” movie. That was a good one too.
I'm so down for Roxy and Coy doing effed up body horror movies.
The scariest part of this movie was her hugging him right where his ear fell off

Roxy mentioned Goldblum's eyes, but I love it when Roxy's eyes pop and she goes, "mah dude!" 😄
Guess what! We need more of Coy/Roxy! The duo I always wanted and the pay off is everything!
More Coy and Roxy reactions! 🤘🏽I watched this recently myself for the first time and it was a trip.
If you are old enough to recall the days of audiocassette tape, you may remember a commercial aired beginning in 1971 for a company called Memorex, which asked the question, “Is it Live or is it Memorex?” In the commercial Ella Fitzgerald sang a note that shattered a wine glass while her voice was being recorded on a Memorex tape. When they played the tape Ella’s voice still shattered a glass. 🍷
Daaaaaamn Roxy! You looking FLY in those pants!
19:00 This issue what "AI" like ChatGPT is about and why so many get confused. ChatGPT isn't an AI per se, it just replicates what has already been written. Forming sentences based upon enormous amounts of examples. Even back when this was made they identified the step needed to turn the "Language model" into a true "AI". Not just replicating existing translations but forming unique ones based upon understanding. Like forming your own opinions based on data and experience instead of basing them on other peoples opinions. The first baboon was correctlu re-assembled but only on the basic molecular level. The other structures weren't programmed to be taken into consideration, like "skin goes outside of the organs". :)
There is a sequel
Starring eric stoltz
and its great!
Please remove Roxy & Coy from probation!! They’re Bostonian gold!! Good team 👍🏽💯🏆🤩
Love this
The special effects in this version are very advanced compared to the original with Vincent Price. I still love the original it's a classic.
The guy he arm wrestled in the movie is George Chuvalo, former heavyweight boxer. Chuvalo fought Muhammad Ali twice, Joe Frazier, George Foreman, etc. In 93 professional fights, he was never knocked down once.
There's a conversation to be had about actors who stop acting and just start being exaggerated versions of themselves in films. I love Jeff Goldblum, but this was back when he actually performed. Now, he goes hard on what people call the Goldbulm-isms. But if you watch his early stuff, he's an incredible actor when he really goes in for a performance. Not that he's not good in his recent performances, but pretty much after The Lost World: Jurassic Park, he started leaning into the Goldblum-isms.
This movie is great, a true classic! I’ve had a crush on Geena Davis since i saw her in this and Fletch
I’ve never heard the fly referred to as campy
Roxy and Coy are a great team. Love them 😂😂
Bostonnn forever
Did you know Jim Carry was in a movie with Goldblum and Davis called "Earth Girls Are Easy" he's one of the aliens.
Why is everything considered camp, do the ones saying it even know what it means.
I think anytime they don’t understand what’s going on . . . . blame it on “camp”
Omg Coy and Roxy again!!!🙌🏽❤❤…”guess what?” Haha…twisted and gross but one of the better remakes…hope you guys watch the sequel.
The addict comparison is a good one. The other is to consider him as a person discovering he has a terminal illness.
@@slimmccoy8863 The analogy Croenenberg was going for was the AIDS epidemic.
I hate that the AppleTv + show ‘For All Mankind’ got snubbed. A truly great, underrated show
I think I speak for all my fellow rejects when I say...
MORE COY AND ROXY, PLEASE!!!
🙏 🙏 🙏
one of the best remakes ever , sequel is underrated its about the son played by eric stoltz
Both Davis and Goldblum deserved at least an Oscar nomination. What an injustice!
The Fly is my all time favorite body horror. I always see the film as a body horror/tragedy. The practical effects and fly makeup is so amazing. I also love the music.
Haven't even pushed play yet and I already know this is gonna be a banger reaction! The Fly is such a good movie!! 10/10 Goldblums!
This is the first Goldblum I ever knew. Saw this at the theater as a 14 yr old in 1986. Best SFX since The Thing in '82.
If you like Geena Davis, you should check out "A Long Kiss Goodnight" with Samuel L. Jackson. She got a face to look at and he's got a mouth to listen to, its a great action movie.
Goldblum was completely robbed of an Oscar nomination for this.
This is a remake of the original 1958 The Fly starring Vincent Price. You can’t watch this without seeing the original
One of the best remakes. Ngl I've seen the trailer for the newest Wolfman and it just gives me The Fly vibes and I'm not holding my breath on it.
I would call this horror/sci-fi
I think ye misinterpreted the 'the flesh makes you crazy' line.
They weren't talking about the effects of eating flesh. They were talking about the look, feel, heat taste etc of flesh while it's on another person and the effect it can have on other people (in a non cannibalistic way).
The BAFTA winner for Makeup and Hair that beat _The Fly_ was _The Name of the Rose_ (1986) and winner for Special Visual Effects was _The Witches of Eastwick_ 1987.
Roxy is realllyyyyy being put through some TOUGH films for our viewing pleasure 😅🙈
Facts
Where did they get the idea that this was a comedy? 😂 I saw this when it came out in ‘86. I was fairly familiar with Cronenberg, so I was kind of expecting what was coming. 80s horror movies pre-CGI were a trip.
There is a Fly 2 (1989) which is also very good, but good luck finding it.
Chris Walas. The man behind the fly creature effects of this movie. Feels either poetic or ironic that four years after The Fly, he moved on to another insect-related film called Arachnophobia.
"I don't think this movie is that kind."
No, it's not. Not at all.
Also, the film is a commentary on oldage and degenary diseases and how it changes our loved ones and the pain it causes to see them changing into something else.
I believe cronenberg had the aids epidemic in mind but your not wrong either.
I don’t know why in the world you two were put in probation. I like you two together.
I need this "dinamic duo" do more reactions
The Fly 2 is not as good as the first one but it have some good moments and really great special effects and make up
Roxy, you might’ve seen Cronenberg before, he was killed at the start in Jason X (Jason in space)
