Just watched Return of the Fly a few days ago on the Vincent Price Collection Blu ray set.
If it is the same transfer - it is gorgeous!
Interestingly - Return of The Fly is one of the few sequels to a COLOR movie that is in BLACK & WHITE!

So is this still being released, or is canceled like the Cube trilogy?
Don't care about crappy old 'originals', just my favorite The Fly II from 1989.

Return of The Fly is one of the few sequels to a COLOR movie that is in BLACK & WHITE!

I can't think of any other film in which the original was colour and the sequel b/w. I can think of plenty that were in mono and the sequel colour but apart from the Fly I can't think of one colour film that followed up with a b/w film.

Well the new Mad Max is available in Black and White, and it is a sequel to the old Mel Gibson Mad Max's. I know not the same.....but kind of.

You're right it's stretching things a wee bit......... but nice try

Human Centipede was one example

 

[Lollard2002]

In my defense I've never watched any of those films and never will.....
