The Tragic Ending: Man is not just harmed as a result of his own hubris in David Cronenbergs remake of The Fly, but transformed into an outrageous man/fly hybrid that not even his girlfriend (Geena Davis) can love. That man would be Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum), a scientist and twitchy Jeff Goldblum-type, who desperately wants to prove his worth by getting the teleportation system in his apartment to work. After an aborted attempt that results in an inside-out monkey test subject, Brundle makes himself the guinea pig and manages to transport himself from one teleportation pod to another. But theres a catch: Brundle inadvertently mixes his own DNA with that of a fly during the teleportation process, slowly turning him into Brundlefly, a bug-eyed human/insect thing that has the ability to dissolve the hands of his girlfriends potential love interests in case he gets jealous. Then he accidentally melds himself with one of the teleportation devices and his girlfriend shoots him dead with a shotgun. The Silver Lining: Sure, Brundlefly is dead, and its his former lover who had to do the killing. But think of all this is going to do for science - an examination of Brundlefly-Telepod alone is going to advance the field of medical science by decades.
