Seth Brundle ( Jeff Goldblum ), a brilliant but eccentric scientist, meets Veronica Quaife ( Geena Davis ), a journalist for Particle magazine, at a meet-the-press event held by Bartok Science Industries, the company that provides funding for Brundle's work.

Due to a strong audience reaction, the graphic and infamous " monkey-cat " sequence was cut from the film to make it easier for audiences to maintain more sympathy for Brundle's character.

In the version of the scene that was originally scripted ( and previewed for the Los Angeles test audience ), Veronica Quaife is seen in bed with Stathis Borans ( having married him ) some time after Seth Brundle's death.

The transformation was broken up into seven distinct stages, with Jeff Goldblum spending many hours in the makeup chair for Brundle's later incarnations

Brundle's consciousness had somehow survived within the Telepod computer, and the Bartok scientists had enslaved him and were using him to develop the system for cloning purposes.

Stefano Modena's 3rd place and team mate Martin Brundle's 6th place finish at the Monaco Grand Prix resulted in the Brabham team no longer having to pre-qualify for the remainder of the season, while Alex Caffi's 4th place in the same race also meant he would not have to pre-qualify his Dallara either.

Alesi continued to third place, while further behind Martin Brundle, running fourth following Berger's exit, had to pit for a new nose-cone following a collision with Pedro Lamy's Minardi when Lamy inadvertently hit Brundle's front wing as he attempted to rejoin the track after a spin on lap 45, dropping Brundle to seventh and handing fourth place to David Coulthard's McLaren.

In the 1989 race, the Chilean, with Alain and Michel Ferté, achieved the 8th place with the Jaguar XJR-9 ; but his best result would be winning the 1990 event of the historic race in a Jaguar XJR-12, but after driving several hours in the No. 3 car, he was forced to leave his seat to the British driver Martin Brundle, who received the chequered flag, and Salazar was forced to move to the No. 4 car, which retired at 20 hours with mechanical problems ( Brundle's original car, the No. 1, was pulled out at 14 hours for electrical problems ).

Bellof first tested a Formula One car towards the end of 1983, when he joined the top two drivers from that season's British Formula Three Championship – Ayrton Senna and Martin Brundle – in testing for McLaren at Silverstone, where Bellof managed to damage the gearbox before Brundle's opportunity behind the wheel.

Brundle's car was eventually disqualified after a lengthy dispute for having illegal ballast in the water system.

After missing Indianapolis, he returned for the where he qualified and finished in fourth place, receiving ITV broadcaster Martin Brundle's driver of the day award.

Also, in this version, Brundle was clearly transforming into a bizarre hybrid creature as the result of a genetic fusion, whereas in Pogue's version, Powell was being taken over by the fly's cells, which had been absorbed into his body ( thus slowly transforming him literally into a giant fly, rather than Brundle's deformed man-fly mixture ).

: The " monkey-cat " of Pogue's script was repurposed by Cronenberg into a twisted, desperate attempt of Brundle's to find a cure, and Pogue's sequence of a fly leg hatching from Geoff's side was taken one step further, with Brundle amputating the twitching limb with his teeth.

While Cronenberg's script did not end with Veronica Quaife giving birth, it did end with a coda which revealed that she was now pregnant with a normal baby, conceived by Borans after Brundle's death ( and the abortion of Brundle's possibly tainted fetus ).

The end of the sequence also revealed exactly what the hernia-like bulge on Brundle's torso was, as well as revealing the final fate of the surviving baboon, story points that are both left unresolved in the final cut.

The design of Brundle's Telepods was inspired by the engine cylinder of Cronenberg's Ducati 450 Desmo.

Martin Brundle's Tyrrell was running at the end, but Brundle was 33 laps down on Rosberg and was not classified as a finisher.

This was Brundle's first podium-he had been disqualified from his podium finish at the 1984 Detroit Grand Prix.

Brundle's gearbox failed on lap 54 when he was fourth.

When the drivers started warm-up lap, Martin Brundle's Ligier-Renault was left on the grid.

Brundle's engine failed on lap 54 when he was fifth.

On lap 13, he ran into the rear of Brundle's Brabham and was out of the race.

The filmmakers also agreed that the story should end with Brundle's mercy-killing at Veronica's hands, despite the unanswered questions about Veronica's unborn child that would be raised by the deletion of the epilogue.

She awakens from another nightmare in which she gives birth to Brundle's child, and Stathis reassures her that she is safe, and that the baby she is now carrying ( having presumably aborted Brundle's ) is his.

* STAGES 1-2: Subtle, rash-like skin discoloration, which leads to facial lesions and sores, with tiny fly hairs dotting Goldblum's face, as well as the patch of fly hairs growing out of the wound on Brundle's back.

Irvine retired on the second parade lap with engine problems and at the second start, Brundle's engine blew in a spectacular ball of fire.

Meanwhile, Borans breaks into Brundle's lab with a shotgun and comes to Veronica's rescue, but is seriously injured and nearly killed by the almost fully transformed Brundle, who dissolves Borans ' left hand and right foot with his corrosive vomit-drop enzyme.

Veronica frantically resists Brundle's efforts to drag her into Telepod 1 and then accidentally tears off his jaw, triggering his final transformation into a monstrous combination of man and insect.

: Seth Brundle's increasing mania and personality changes in the early stages of the transformation were emphasized in the rewrites, and the notion of the transformation itself being a horrible ( and very metaphorical ) disease became a key factor in the new script.

In this version, she is clearly still pregnant with Brundle's baby.

It features Veronica Quaife giving birth to Brundle's mutant son before dying, and focuses on the Bartok company's attempts to get the Telepods working again.

Irvine forced Verstappen on to the grass, who then lost control of his car and somersaulted over Martin Brundle's McLaren.

But while the corporation has all the disadvantages of the socialist form of organization ( so cumbersome it cannot constructively do much of anything not compatible with its need to perpetuate itself and maintain its status quo ), unluckily it does not have the desirable aspect of socialism, the motivation to operate for the benefit of society as a whole.
