After Seth Brundle has gone through his final stage of metamorphosising into the Brundlefly, he throws Ronnie (Geena Davis) into one telepod and then starts to make his way across the lab towards the other one. Watch as he emerges from behind a wooden pillar, there's one shot where a crew member's arm is seen reaching inside the back of the Brundlefly puppet, to move the creature's head. You'll need to slow-mo to see it but it's there. (As per the rules of this site, visible crew members is an acceptable use of slow motion.) See more...

Jeff Goldblum's part in this film actually ends in the shot where he starts dragging Veronica over to the telepods and knocks a lamp over. From there till the end the Brundlefly is done entirely with puppets. [Not really trivia.]

In the scene where Jeff Goldblum starts transforming into the Brundlefly, there is a long sequence where his skin and body parts keep falling off and making a huge mess on the floor. After John Getz blows the creature's telepod power cord apart with a shotgun, he collapses onto the floor which is now clean. [As Brundlefly loses body parts, he also keeps moving backwards, leaving the shed skin and parts behind. He later stops, and throws Ronnie some feet, into the telepod. Stathis then comes up alongside the telepod that Ronnie is in and cuts THAT power cable (not "the creature's"), before collapsing. So the part of the floor where he lies, is a few feet away from where the Brundlefly parts fell.]

In the scene where Veronica is interviewing Brundle and turns on the tape recorder, it stops the next minute because the tape ends. When her boss is listening to the tape we can see the tape is at the beginning at that time of the conversation. [It’s common for news reporters to make a copy of something important. With a major, career-defining, news story, trust is a major concern. Especially since the editor is her ex-boyfriend.]
