In this film, Andre DeLambre "accidentally" has his head and arm swapped with those of a fly. How does the machine "accidentally" swap these body parts when it has to quite deliberately change their sizes to make them fit on the other body? A fly's head doesn't have enough cells to make a human head, so getting it onto Andre's body would require having those cells multiply exponentially.
sharePlus, why dont the Brains exchange completely rather then having Hedison slowly devolve into an insect mentality? He should have been buzzing and twitching, not typing notes or writing on the blackboard. He should have been out of control right from the start
shareI always thought that he should have had a fly brain since he had a fly head. I didn't understand how he was smart and could type.
I thought the fly with the human head should have been the smart one. He should have been smart enough to fly back into the lab.
Maybe their brains got cross-materialized in the teleporter switch into each others' brain cavities.
This story has more to do with pulp imagination in a science fiction clothes, more to nightmare stuff, than to rational science fiction. If dwelling too long for rational explanations for this kind of film, you will be dissapointed. In this case The Fly is closer to horrorflm than to pure science fiction.
shareA fly's brain is actually located in it's abdomen area and not directly in the head, so technically the small fly man would have two brains and the scientist would've been dead.

You show me the proof thats where a fly's brain is, then I'll believe you.

Technically, they'd both be dead. The nervous system, circulatory system, etc. are not a precise enough match for the swap. So while the machine supposedly increased or decreased the sizes of heads & appendages, there's still no possible way for the hybrids to be a biological match. This was one thing that the remake addressed (merging on a genetic level instead), but even that film ignored the fact that both host organisms are teeming with much smaller symbiotic organisms, and that such a hybrid gene would actually be viable.
In short, stop thinking too much and enjoy the films.
Their atoms got scrambled.
shareYou are underestimating the intelligence of a fly. They figured out how to fly on their own. We haven't figured that out yet for ourselves
