Trivia
This film was rarely seen for many years after its original release in 1965. As a result of this, it was the only one of the original "Fly" films that never received a VHS or LaserDisc release. It did not even receive a home video premiere at all until 2007, when it was released on DVD for the first time ever, in "The Fly Collection", a 4-disc box set that contained both it and the previous two films in the trilogy, La Mouche noire (1958) and Le Retour de la mouche (1959), as well as a special features DVD.

Goofs
In the film, during a conversation about the Delambre family legacy, a photograph is shown of the Fly from the film Le Retour de la mouche (1959). It is said that the Fly in the photograph is Andre Delambre (David Hedison) from La Mouche noire (1958), but the photograph is actually of Philippe Delambre (Brett Halsey), the son of Andre, from Le Retour de la mouche (1959). There were no photographs taken of the Fly by anyone in either of the previous two films in the original "Fly" trilogy, so this photograph should not even exist in this one, the third and final film in it.

Quotes
Albert Delambre: You're not God, you're not even human. You murdered those men and you made me a murderer too.

Crazy credits
At the end of the closing credits: "Is this the end?"

Alternate versions
The UK cinema version was cut by the BBFC to reduce a shot of 2 previously teleported victims inside a glass cabinet in Albert Delambre's laboratory. The 2006 DVD is uncut.

Disappointing, but not as silly as RETURN OF THE FLY

The "curse" of the fly, is the "curse" of the DeLambre family, whom has lost family members experimenting with teleportation. Two of the family members bodies had been intermixed with the bodies of house flies in two earlier films. Hence, the "curse of the fly." No one turns into a "fly" in this one; but there are plenty of gruesome results nonetheless. Nothing in the film is better than the opening sequence, as heroine Carol Gray escapes from an asylum, only to meet and marry one of the "mad" DeLambres. The slow motion shattering glass creates quite an eerie effect. Much of what occurs in the film is gruesome rather than horrific. However, nothing is more frightening than Brian Donleavy carrying on a rational conversation arguing FOR the teleportation experiments, with his back covered in horrible radiation burns, the result of his self-experimentation. This is a powerful moment in an, otherwise, fairly routine programmer.
