Vincent Price automatically adds awesomeness!

[@FeverDreamlandTheater]

😁👍 No doubt! I agree HH, Vincent Price is a legend. Much thanks for checking in man, have a good one!

[@MarvelandDC379]

You can never go wrong with Vincent Price, the horror legend himself. I need to check out these movies.

[@FeverDreamlandTheater]

Hey Charles, I'm always happy to find any reason to cover a Vincent Price flick. 😁 Have a good one man!

[@PaxPanic]

V. Price is the definition of iconic. Excellent discussion as all - The Fly movie was so disturbing....loved it!

[@FeverDreamlandTheater]

Hey wassup Pax! Much thanks as aways! 😁 I appreciate you checking in.

[@DMovieman]

Although you explained why, having black and white sequels after a original film in color is wild! I wonder if there are any other films that did something similar. I did not see the outcome of the gerbil's transportation coming at all. Yikes! This was another really solid breakdown and exploration of the franchise! Great job, man! 👌👌👌

[@FeverDreamlandTheater]

Heeeey wassup D, the black and white thing is weird. I'm not sure if any other series did that but it definitely caused confusion. LoL, in my old Fly vid people asked me if that one had been colorized because these are in black and white. Anyway, thanks for checking in, have a good weekend & I appreciate the kind words.

[@RSEFX]

I wasn't surprised at all at the time that the film---a fairly rare thing- (ie a sequel) for that era----turned out to be black and white. Sequels were always considered to be 2nd rate efforts to squeeze a bit more money on the coat-tails of a hit. Budgets were always reduced from the first effort as it was believed, with good reason, that the sequel would never make as much money as the original in a series. People ---even kids----kind of looked down on these follow-ups. I know I did.

[@LisaLoves]

I had No idea these even existed!! I mean having Vincent Prices name automatically adds interest and gravitas. Wonderful video as always Anthony! I’d love to see you do a feature length documentary. You would do a fantastic job.

[@FeverDreamlandTheater]

Hey thanks Lisa. Yeah I was happy to finally wrap up this series. The Curse of the Fly was a bit more fun to go into because it was just out there. Would have been even better if Vincent Price was in that one as well. Thanks for checking in & have a good weekend!

[@WelcomeToTheDarkside]

I haven't seen both movies in years I need to have a V.Price marathon weekend. Great Discussion!

[@FeverDreamlandTheater]

Much thanks Selina, same here, after I revisited them recently, I though it might be cool to finish up the Fly series. Thanks for the popping in! Be well!

[@AtomicSnackBar]

It's well established I'm a big fan of The Fly and Return of the Fly. But watching this, I'm not positive I've seen Curse of the Fly. I thought I had, but this footage does not look familiar. I would though say you put the proper amount of thought into the mystery of Curse. Just don't forget to put your tinfoil hat back on. Seeing the two back to back does make me wonder if these being black and white is why so many people think the original film is as well. This has been a great, superbly edited series. Good stuff indeed.

[@FeverDreamlandTheater]

LOL, I think me ranting about Henri being Phillippe and the weird timeline was tinfoil hat territory, 😂 😂 😂 If you get around to Curse of the Fly, let me know what you think of that one for sure man. It really is a fun movie. Thanks for watching as always Rob, much appreciated man, have a great week.

[@spiritsnscreams]

Hey Anthony!! Ok so I have not seen either of these films and now I know I need to watch them so thank you for that. Vincent Price is iconic, he was the first actor to really scare me as a kid.. nightmare scary. Great vid as always! I love these ones, always so informative and fun to watch like a movie in themselves. Cheers my friend!!

[@FeverDreamlandTheater]

Whoa that's interesting to know. Vincent Price was key to your early days with horror in that case. Awesome. Thanks for checking in, have a good one!

[@splashwithariel]

Hi Anthony, your channel is doing amazing congratulations on your subs. Always putting out the best quality reviews.

[@FeverDreamlandTheater]

Heeey Ariel, I see you are doing well, almost t 1K. Awesome! Hope you've been well and thanks for stopping in. : )

[@NyesBizarreCinema]

Great work Anthony! And I watched the entire video -As always 😁 🤣 Vincent Price! His name can attract anyone to a film!

[@FeverDreamlandTheater]

Heeeey Nye. The second movie was so much fun to go over because it was so over the top. And the first, like you noted, featured Vincent Price...which is awesome. Thanks so much for the watch & comment. Have a great weekend ahead.

[@rkrueger8009]

B movie madness! 😎

[@terencemiguana]

Awesome video as always. I skipped past these cause they just looked bad. But based on your breakdown they do look fun. Now all you need to do now is Superfly. Superfly TNT and Return of Superfly. 😂. Seriously though would love to see you tackle the Creature from The Black Lagoon series. It’s sequels were good I think. Oh yeah and well done passing 2k bro

[@FeverDreamlandTheater]

Terence! Much thanks man! 🤜🤛 The Creature from The Black Lagoon series sounds like an awesome series to cover. Especially going forward because for regular movie reviews, I'll likely be moving toward a shorter / streamlined approach. Have a good day bro!

[@MoreMovies4u]

Awesome vid Anthony! Gotta admit i haven't seen either of these, but i totally would watch them, especially having seen this ace review. Love Vincent Price, great to see him and i shouted at the screen when that douchebag shot him. Survived though! What a champ. Definitely a lot of fun watching this, loved all the funnies especially the Rick Dalton finger snap. Great edit dude, nice job!

[@FeverDreamlandTheater]

Much thanks Greg, I agree about the the villain from Return of the Fly...he was right up with the sleazy Bartok from Fly II. Thanks for the watch & comment man, have a good week!

[@HaveCheetahWillView]

The cheetah and I here and hooked already. I love to get The Fly boxset......

[@FeverDreamlandTheater]

I hear you, the set I have is actually a bit old, for my purposes it works well enough. Thanks for watching Patrick. It's been a while since my last vid, so always appreciate hearing from you!

[@Promeraxz]

I loved Return of the Fly. I watched a few times as a kid. I didn't know there was another sequel.

[@FeverDreamlandTheater]

Return of the Fly was a fun ride. The Curse of the Fly is worth a watch in my view too. It may not be for everyone, but I dug it. Thanks Promeraxz, have a good one!

[@betamaxblocker]

Both very underrated films! Although we often think of Edward Bernds as a director for The Three Stooges, he dabbled quite a bit in sci-fi as well. Some good casting choices in both of these, especially Dan Seymour and Brian Donlevy. But you are absolutely right about the budget cuts and some of the weird story developments hurting the quality though. Nicely done!

[@FeverDreamlandTheater]

The story developments in Curse of the Fly, work a little better for me on repeated viewing because some of the odd moments make sense. Sort of... 😂 Thanks for watching Betamax! Much appreciated. Be well!

[@RSEFX]

I LIKE this review set with its even-handed approach. Endless "clever", disparaging, goofy etc. commentaries/reviews have become a terrible and monotonous (ie boring) cliche on YT. The last of the 3 original films in this series IS indeed interesting. The one thing I thought a let-down was the bland, over-lit nature of the lab, a key setting for this film. But overall, the film has some real originality and eerie moments. Thanks for the video.

[@FeverDreamlandTheater]

Hey RSEFX, thank you! I appreciate the kind words. I also agree about the lighting of that lab set, it needed a little more attention in that area and doing so would have brought so much more life to those scenes. Anyway, thanks again and have a good one.

[@SciFirstMovieTalk]

Wonderfully in-depth as always! These are two that are certainly on my list - hopefully one day I`ll do a fly feature series - never seen any of these classic entries at all - a bit of classic Vincent Price is always a good gamble! :)

[@FeverDreamlandTheater]

Your Star Trek series was legendary man, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Fly movies one day. Thanks Sci First! Have a good one!

[@edmonlessley4932]

Ahead of tech and their time..... image being a film maker back then? I admire you because you.....read between the lines. 3/11/23........ I appreciate your point of view because it enlightens me, uggg, keep creating brother because it effects the world we live in.....positively.

[@FeverDreamlandTheater]

Much thanks Edmon, be well man & have a nice weekend! : )

[@strangemonkey90]

I was TODAY years old when I found out there were sequels to The Fly. Lol

[@FeverDreamlandTheater]

Ha ha, wassup SMR! Always glad to hear from you! Yeah these two are certainly a lot less popular. Be well man & have a good week ahead.

[@strangemonkey90]

@@FeverDreamlandTheater Likewise, good sir. It's good to see you bringing these movies to our attention. Thanks man. You do the same. 👍

[@cirespeedreviews]

He doesn't look a day past 99 😂The curse if the fly seems like a wild movie.. the creatures in the stalls look like really good cgi.. even though it wasn't. Great video bro.. amazing stuff 👍😎

[@FeverDreamlandTheater]

😂😂😂 The goofier the movie, the goofier I get, lol. Thanks for stopping by Cirespeed. Have a good one man!

[@HildaDC]

Awesome video here always Anthony nice to see u posting

[@FeverDreamlandTheater]

Heeeey wassup Hilda! : ) I appreciate it! Hope you are having a nice weekend!

[@Hewylewis]

I like to theorize that with the fly hybrid in Return, the fly is in control of Phillipe's body, while Phillipe has control over the fly's body. So calling the giant Fly hybrid Phillipe shouldn't be the case.

[@TasteandSipbyTesha]

niceee

[@FeverDreamlandTheater]

Thanks Tesha!

[@mr.danandhorror4230]

Yeah I like the idea of going in a different direction in the 3rd film of a series even if in this case not everything worked out. And I was surprised to see Burt Kwuok from the Pink Panther series in Curse! . I still enjoyed both sequels- Great review Anthony.

[@FeverDreamlandTheater]

Thanks Mr. Dan. And I agree, I appreciate the third one. The Return of the Fly was solid but it was pretty much you would expect from a sequel. The crime element was a cool addition though and of course Vincent Price was a big selling point. But the third one really least swung for the fences and was more creative. I enjoyed both as well.
