The Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day would be funny if life weren’t so sacred.
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today’s Behind the Scenes pic!
What we have today is the classic monster version of the Sad Keanu Reeves picture. Instead of sitting on a park bench eating a sandwich we have The Fly sitting on a camera dolly. Will we see Sad Fly photoshopped into Forrest Gump? Probably not, but a man can dream, can’t he?
While I’ve always been partial to the David Cronenberg remake, I dig the original ‘50s Fly, particularly the creepy-ass miniature human head on the fly body. Fuck that. The high pitched “Go away! No! No!” still messes with me.
I love this shot, submitted by reader Patrick Barnett! Click the image for a slightly bigger version! Enjoy!
If you have a pic you think should be included email me. I’m looking for the iconic, the rare or the just plain cool behind the scenes shots to feature here.
Tomorrow’s Behind the Scenes Pic is gross! That’s your sister, dude!

Just wanted the Cronenberg remake (and the sequel) last week. I'm watching the originals this week.<p> Help meeee!
-
Keep 'em coming.
-
But that performance he gives at the chalkboard is heartbreaking.
-
Is that a stereotype? I don't get it.

Can yiu imagine how the audiences in the 50s would react...
by AsimovLives
... if they saw the 80s version?
-
nice pic, but "sad K. Reeves picture"? I'm confused. Help meeee!
-
Fuck me, she looks like a fly in a tux!
-
"help meeee, help meeee." which whenever i hear someone say it is like figernails on a blackboard to me. really annoying!
-
Isn't he sad in every movie he's in? Maybe it's just me projecting.<p>When I was a kid, I'd throw whatever insect I could find in our yard into many a spider's web, during which I'd be yelling, "Help meeeeee!!!"
-
The dolly is behind him. Very cool picture though. This is a good feature. Please keep them coming.
-
Funny stuff.
-
I love both versions. The cronenberg version borrowed elements of the original but i think they are different enough to not call the 80 version a re-make.
-
demonstrated the transfer machine with a plate or vase. When transported, it looked fine, but he turned it over and instead of "MADE IN CHINA" it read "DAEM NI NCIAH", or some such thing. Nice moment. Was that in the movie?
-
is that if the DNA of the fly got scrambled with Goldblum because a fly entered the transportation chamber, how does the transporter know not to scramble the human DNA of the subject with the DNA of every microbe that is living in the air in the chamber, or on his skin and in his intestines?
-
A true classic. And wasn't Cronenberg supposed to be remaking his own remake, whatever happened
-
"FUCK is what I'm thinking!"
-
You "never" understood that? What age were you when it came out and you first saw it? I think what you mean is that IN HINDSIGHT you wonder how the chamber worked. Also, nobody thought that when watching the movie.
-
I was twenty-five when I saw the remake, and I was a college graduate who had taken biology courses.
-
The only film I can think of that showed us what would happen if a future film was shown to a previous era's audience, was Star Wars in 1977. That film was like dropping a late model car from today into 1955. You just never saw anything like it.
-
I know that I was 22 the first time I saw the remake, and wondered the exact same thing. The human body is covered and filled with living organisms. That fly would have been an insignificant contributor to Brundle's new makeup. <p> By the time Goldblum was crawling about on the spinning set, though, I didn't give a damn.
-
I didn't let it ruin the movie for me either.
-
to direct the hobbit. Also this pick is cool.
-
but all in all,i prefer the superior remake.
-
must have been hell in that mask.

posting Itunes Sucks shit and is more antiquated than a fucking 2600 and you have to fucking wait for your phone or pad to backup for any little thing when you just want to put a fucking book or some shit real quick and it crashes and you have to fuck with it and deal with syncing shit and its just fucking garbage and Steve Jobs should be fucking banned from earth for more than 90 days and have his guru give him another herbal enema and then my fucking goddamn perfectly good credit card number security code that works fine on iPad but no longer on my iphone STILL won't fucking work and there STILL won't be any customer service. Oh and fuck microsoft too. How many fucking pcs have I bought over the years with windows and they all come with the latest windows bullshit now here comes 7 that always tells you it's illegit even though you fucking bought it like all the other fucking pcs you bought which- hey go figure!- Don't fucking work without fucking windows which-duuuuuuuuuuuuuh! Is usually fucking included with the computer to make it work. Then you can ineptly add D Vader to the end of that. It's actually funny how the D Vader posts have died down to like these squeaky little nerd death spasms here and there
-
is that Brudley's computer was programmed in that way that it ignored the micro-organisms during the transportation,but knew that organisms of bigger scale should be used during the experiment.
-
...be so scared.
-
Wouldn't the human digestive process be irreparably fucked by the removal of its microscopic inhabitants? <p> If, on the other hand, the machine was capable to preserving and reconstructing Brundle's bacterial colonies, then the pods would be more than capable of keeping the fly material isolated during reconstruction. <p> I love the movie, but I really wish they would have bothered with even a technobabble explanation for that, or why he came through relatively human and then slowly changed.
-
..don't shout Mr. Bale, or they'll all want one..
-
to remove anything during the transportation,it was programmed to INFUSE two organisms.that was the whole point of the experiment,the infusion,not the transportation.<br /> <br /> <p>You confuse the concepts between the two movies: in the original,the experiment for the scientist was to see if he had perfected the teleportation enough,so that it could work withoy any problems with living organisms.the infusion with the fly was an unforeseen consequence of the teleportation experiment,the infusion was not deliberate. <br /> <br /> <p>on the other hand in the remake,the teleportation had been perfected,it was working correctly.Brudley's ultimate goal was to infuse himself with the dna of a monkey,so that he could enhance his body.the infusion was deliberate,not an accident,that was what the computer was programmed to do.the problem was that when the fly entered the teleportation pod,the computer got confused and continued the infusion experiment using the fly instead of the monkey.<br /> <br /> <p>thats all.i hope you get it now.
-
This pretty much sums it up: http://newsfeed.time.com/2010/10/04/intrepid-journalists-of-new-york-magazine-ask-keanu-about-sad-keanu/
-
His goal was never to fuse himself with anything else. He openly speaks for the first twenty minutes of the film about his hopes to revolutionize transportation and alter the entire concept of distance. <p> Remember how even his tricycle was too fast for him as a kid? He couldn't handle the motion-sickness. <p> Watch the movie again. His goal was never to combine himself with another creature.
-
"Good! The World will want to know that!"
-
I thought of that too, but concluded I was just being a nitpicky troublemaker. The "scientific" explanation of why he turned into a fly is of course going to be utterly ridiculous no matter what... it's where the story goes after the premise is taken as a given that really matters. My biologist friend I saw it with said "if human anatomy was combined with that of a fly, the subject would just die" and went into explanations about heart valves in humans vs insects. But if you don't just go with it, you don't get to see Stathis Borans get his foot and hand melted off with fly vomit! So lighten up :)
-
Yeah, that's pretty much what I was saying: I can push past the scientific garbage because the story and how it's told is just so damned good. <p> Plus, who isn't squeamish about body horror? Doesn't matter whether it's The Fly, The Thing, Invasion of the Body Snatchers ('78), or Human Centipede, it manages to turn my stomach most of the time.

GOLD
-
with a monkey,then why the fuck did he have a monkey in the 3rd pod while he was transported? have you seen the movie at all mate?
-
he wanted to infuse himself with a monkey in order to enhance his body.thats why he had the monkey in the 3rd pod.thats why he did the acrobatics after the teleporation experiment.he thought that he gained the skills of the monkey.thats why later he asks the computer to show him with what he was infused,and the computers shows him parts of the fly,which makes him completely bedazzled because he wasnt seeing parts of the monkey,as he was expecting.then he gets completely surprised when he sees the full picture of the fly.<br /> <p>jesus christ,WATCH THE MOVIE AGAIN.
-
There was a deleted sub-plot in which Goldblum experiments with a monkey and I forget what other animal to try and reverse his condition. I assume he uses the monkey because its DNA is the closest match the DNA of a human. <p> Perhaps you're remembering that. I think a shot of the monkey in the third pod(I don't remember it but I'm not saying it isn't in the final cut of the film)was a leftover from that sub-plot that made it into the film and now doesn't make sense because they dropped that aspect of the movie..
-
because the dna of human and fly are closer to each other (90%) than human and the other organisms. which is why they were spliced together. If all remakes were as good as the Fly, I wouldn't hate remakes so much.
-
then you are completely right,the whole concept is fucking stupid.so when you get transported you suddenly become strong enough to do acrobatics and win a bradesfer match.gaahhh,i prefer my version.
-
He was just here, wasn't he?
-
but yeah i got it all wrong.<br /> <p>i have only seen the movie twice as a kid,and i always had the impression that Bradley used the dna from the monkey to enhance himself,thus the acrobatics and the brasdefer scene.but he was talking,as people here pointed out correctly,about purification,not infusion.<br /> <p>in other words he simply used the teleportation method to make himself "cleaner" ,thus stronger,thus his various stunts,which at the end it doesnt make any sense scientifically speaking.<br /> <p>anyway i was wrong,i apologize for my retarded insistence that i was right,you can tear me a new one right NOW.
-
creepiest movie ending ever!
-
when he lost to BRUNDLE, my girlfriend leaned over and said 'i'm never letting you take me to the movies again.' true story, and she wasn't kidding.
-
The spider loved me until I turned my attention towards rock throwing.
-
He was using the telepods for teleportation, and only concluded that the process must have cleansed him as he had not yet discovered his inner Brundlefly.<p>You should keep an eye on upcoming Sci-Fi Channel (I'm not calling it SyFy) flicks. Your human/monkey power synopsis is going to become someone's Upper East Side security deposit. They aired a killer crow movie titled Kacaw, for shit's sake!
-
Blank posts rool da skool
-
Or Baboon Sapien? The potential is unlimited!
-
Other possible titles:<p>Monkey See, Monkey Guy<p>Ape Toaster<p>Banana Scheisse<p>Rhesus Pieces<p>The Fly III: Brundle Monkey Happy Time Hour
-
Great shot.
-
Dee.... Vaaayyydah!
-
....after the teleportation with the fly is that size to strength ratio of insects etc. is far greater than that of humans. He had picked up enhancements from the fly DNA. If you had the reaction times etc. of a fly you'd feel pretty intense.
-
Now that would have been gold
-
Holy Hell Man! Hahahaha, awesome, thanks for the laugh(s) this morning :)
-
Not having a bit of code telling it to NOT blend anything else in the transporter pod with the main passenger.At the very least it should have stopped the process and flashed a warning , as soon as it registered two separate lifeforms.I cant remember , but did brundle never try going through again , but telling the computer to Not send anything that wasn't Brundle{surely it keeps a data log} Cool film rhough and a great performence from the usually unbearable Jeff Goldbloom
-
wasn't that Tom Hanks on that park bench?? ;)
-
Isn’t (just) the bone sticking out of the guys arm. It’s the fucked up scream the man makes afterwards that really amplifies the horror.<P> It’s one of the most genius horror scenes in cinema history, and pure Cronenberg! Like the quick shot of the guy that was shot in the face and still alive on the diner floor in History of Violence. FUCK<P> Cronenberg gotta do more movies!!
