Now, we're all very familiar with the remake of The Fly, where Jeff Goldblum bungs Formula 1 Commentator Martin Brundle into a teleporter with Seth Armstrong off've Emmerdale.
Of course, the emergent Seth Brundle slowly deteriorates into a quivering mass of insectile mandibles and acidic vomit, as it rampages amongst Jack Sugden's cows and takes a bite out of Kimi's Ferrai Rocher.
But consider the original, for there is a perplexing conundrum that puzzles me somewhat.
OK, so Vincent Price goes into a teleporter, and comes out with a great big fly's head on his shoulders and a pair of pincers on the end of his arm. He then rationalises aout his plight, performing experiments to get his bonce back. Which is all well and good... until we get to the now legendary "Help meeee!" ending.
Now, if The Fly has a human noggin, and can speak, but the human has a flies fizzog but can still think like a human... where did the second human brain come from, and where did the flies brain get to?
If The Fly had the human head and brain, surely the mad experimenting professor with the antennae looming out his cranium should have the fly's brain and be in the toilet, sucking up poo.
Of course, it may not be pleasant viewing, but that's what flies do! Flies do not sit about in laboratories performing complex computations and chemical analysis. Unless...
...yet another breed of Illuminati!!
Reptillian overlords, Carapaced Conquerers, and now Insectoid Intellegensia!
Will their evil, tyrannical rule never be brought to an end?
