Chris Walas, the makeup and animatronics director on David Cronenberg's remake of The Fly, takes a stab at directorial duties in this sequel.

In this same way that the original Fly movie did not need a sequel, but got one anyway, the remake gets an unneeded sequel as well. Don't waste time watching this movie, it's not bad, just annoying.
