    The dog scene broke me. Even with all the pain, it still wagged its tail happily when he saw Martin. At least the dog got to spend its last moments with the only one who cared for him. I still wish Martin found a cure for it in the end.

    "I have yet to see CGI capture this kind of emotion."
    Exactly. Which is why The Thing still packs a visceral punch to this day and the 'prequel' recently released doesn't even generate a minor flutter in my stomach when I see the CGI in it.

    • @GoodBadFlicks
      @GoodBadFlicks  Před 9 lety +60

      guibox3 the shame is they shot the Thing prequel with all practical effects and they looked amazing. One of the producers didn't like them so he insisted they go back and do them all CGI. So there exists two versions of the film, one with practical effects and one with CGI. Unfortunately, the studio refuses to release the original, non CGI version.

    • @guibox3
      @guibox3 Před 9 lety +19

      GoodBadFlicks
      Actually, I was going to mention that. I saw the two headed creature crawling in CGI and it did NOTHING for me. Then I saw a 'behind the scenes' where they had the same thing, but with an animatronic robot, and immediately my gut clenched and I felt fear and revulsion. I haven't seen the full movie, just bits and pieces, but I won't even bother unless they release the version with the make up and puppetry.

      @SketchTurnerZero Před 5 lety +4

      I dont agree. The THING prequel looks really good. And its a good movie too. Yes, it was strange to use only CGI, when there where practical effects. I think best effects are CGI + practical. Not just only one.

      Horrifyingly Hillarious It always got to me to, especially being a dog person. Heck, I kind of avoided this flick after I first saw it mainly because what they did to the poor pup, and the euthanasia scene. Same reason I almost avoided watching this review. Did enjoy the Frank Darabont meme, "I feed off your tears." Kind of blunted the shock.

    @EmilyGloeggler7984 Před 10 lety +54

    I agree that the sequel deserves a lot more credit. As with the 1986 remake, I wish it were longer and not so rushed through. The scenes that got me the most were actually not so much with the dog, but with Martin's birth (poor Ronnie); Martin's discovery of his origins; etc. I love how that, unlike Seth Brundle, he was able to retain just enough of his humanity to not harm either the guard dog or Beth. That scene where the creature is looking at her, you can see he's trying to communicate with her - but he isn't capable and when he walks away, you could imagine his despair at frightening Beth and not being able to comfort her. Plus, also, I really feel for Stathis in this one. Although he started out as a jerk in the last film, he ended up a hero and having to witness the love of his life die from giving birth to a mutant (lets be honest, Martin IS a mutant), not a human being - it would be a shock if it didn't traumatize him. In fact, in the script, after Ronnie died, Bartok gave Stathis hush money to not speak of the experience to anyone. After all the stuff he went through, it is really not surprising he became a bitter drunk. But even despite that, and probably because he knew Ronnie was a part of Martin, he decided to help him. I do think its super insanely disgusting and creepy that Martin is essentially hitting a woman who is 18-25 years older than him and Beth is no better - she is in lust with a 5 year old.... = Calling every known law enforcement agency in the known universe as well as Chris Hansen! Gross!

    Coincidentally, I watched both The Fly and The Fly II late at night on television, roughly 3ish months apart from each other (I was about 13 years old and was taking full advantage of having a TV in my room).
    The Fly is my favourite monster/horror film and The Fly II is, while flawed, a solid movie in its own right. To this day, I tell everyone who'll listen that MartinFly's creature effects are some of the best I've seen.
    I've heard rumours of another Fly remake in the works and I'm cautiously optimistic. If anything it'll give me a reason to make my friends watch the 80s Fly movies.

    The Fly II was almost entirely filmed 2 blocks away from my home at the time. All the "interiors" (Bartok Industries) filmed at Bridge Studios (then known as B.C. Film Center Studios) in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada (next door to Vancouver) The "exteriors" (Bartok Industries) further away as mentioned at Simon Fraser University, also in Burnaby. I remember passing by hoping to see any actors. I had seen actress Daphne Zuniga outside smoking & Eric Stoltz walked by her saying "smoking again?"

    This is a rare instance where the sequel surpasses the original.

    I actually liked this sequel better than the first one. This one had an emotional resonance that I feel the Fly never really had. Jeff Goldblum's character was a complete nutter, while his son easily invoked sympathy and audiences' support, even when he murdered the scientists and guards. Hell, they could have made the scientists and guards less cruel and I still would have supported Eric Stoltz's character's murder spree.
