Visible crew/equipment: When Jeff Goldblum is first showing his telepods to Geena Davis, as the door to the first pod opens, you can see a reflection of a stage hand in the lower left corner of the pod door.
The Fly (1986)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: David Cronenberg
Starring: Geena Davis, Jeff Goldblum, John Getz, Joy Boushel
Revealing mistake: In the scene where Ronnie visits Brundlefly for the second time we see Brundlefly walking on the ceiling and wall, however his shirt doesn't remain consistent with gravity. This is especially obvious when he pulls his shirt up to show Ronnie his new tumor and then places it back down. The shirt appears to be being pulled up to towards the sky from Ronnie's perspective. (01:07:30)
Seth Brundle: I think you're making a mistake. I think you really want to talk to me.
Ronnie: Sorry, I have three other interviews to do before this party's over.
Seth Brundle: Yeah, but they're not working on something that'll change the world as we know it.
Ronnie: They say they are.
Seth Brundle: Yeah, but they're lying. I'm not.
Question: Well into the movie, Seth's computer, which uses voice recognition, can no longer recognize his voice due to his transformation. How then, did he hook up the three telepods and execute the final sequence if he couldn't get into his computer?

Chosen answer: He just used the keyboard. We see him typing on it several times before this scene, so the computer is not voice command only.
