History Film / TheFlyII

* EvilDetectingDog: During the rampage, dogs are released to find Martinfly. They sniff him out quickly enough and are then scared witless when seeing what they've been tracking. Luckily for them, Martinfly has no issue with dogs.

* FateWorseThanDeath: The RedShirt security guard Mackenzie has his face and eyes melted by acid and survives by reflexively ripping off the affected portions before it can completely eat through his head. However, given he can't see or speak, he would've been better off dying.

* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: The protagonist is named after [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Brundle Martin Brundle]], a Usefulnames/FormulaOne driver.

* FallingInLoveMontage: Once Beth becomes Martin's assistant, this is combined with a HardWorkMontage. In between his working on figuring out how to correctly program the telepods, they spend their free time together -- i.e., slow dancing to a Music/KDLang song in the room the telepods are kept in.

* SequelInAnotherMedium: ''The Fly: Outbreak'' is a comic that follows what happens when Martin attempts to [[spoiler: undo Anton Bartok's transformation into a mutant]].

* GenerationXerox: Justified to a certain extent: From the get-go it's clear that Martin is doomed to undergo a SlowTransformation into a monster due to being the son of Seth Brundle. But that doesn't fully explain how he ''also'' is as socially awkward and intellectually brilliant as his father, proving to be the only person who can make the telepods work as intended. On top of that, he falls in love with a beautiful brunette who helps him with that project, likes how {{Adorkable}} he is, and does not reject him when he begins to mutate. They also visit the sole surviving member of the previous film's LoveTriangle in hopes of getting aid from him. The good news for Martin is that due to being born a mutant with more human DNA than his father ended up with, even with his transformation he does not undergo a ProtagonistJourneyToVillain and [[spoiler: ends up becoming completely human, allowing him and Beth to be together]].

* {{Adorkable}}: Martin is intellectually brilliant but socially awkward by the time he's physically and mentally matured into a young adult. Since he's spent all of his life under observation by Anton Bartok and his heartless underlings, and RapidAging meant having peers around was out of the question, he never had an opportunity to form emotional and social attachments to anyone besides Anton (who is faking it) and the ill-fated dog. Beth quickly comes to like him once they meet, though, finding his curious and polite nature appealing.

* NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup: While Bartok Science Industries was able to restore the dearly departed Seth Brundle's telepods even after the damage they took in the climax of the first film, the programming needed for them to teleport organic/living matter intact is said to have "died with him." With the company's scientists unable to figure it out for themselves, Anton Bartok convinces the comparably intelligent Martin to finish his father's work. A cut scene specifies the programming is ''actually'' incomplete because Stathis Borans, who never forgave Seth for what became of both him and Veronica Quaife, deliberately destroyed the relevant material.

A DeletedScene specifies the programming is ''actually'' incomplete because Stathis Borans, who never forgave Seth for what became of both him and Veronica Quaife, deliberately destroyed the relevant material.

* UnderestimatingBadassery: Bartok and Co assumed that Martinfly would be like his father, who wasn't actually that much of a threat against anything more than a untrained man with a shotgun, and needed the element of surprise. When Martinfly emerges, unlike his father, he is a pure hybrid, rather than a genetic mishmash. Martinfly is a powerful, towering monster, with all of his mental faculties intact, with none of the weaknsses that were present in his father. Bartok orders a capture, and it backfires horribly because Martinfly cannot be stopped.

* ScienceHerosBabeAssistant: Beth doesn't do much as Martin's assistant aside from SupportingTheMonsterLovedOne in the second half; she could easily be written out of the story. Her big contribution to the climax is [[spoiler: pressing a button]], and only because [[spoiler: (unlike his dad) Martin hasn't programmed an automatic teleportation sequence for the telepods]]. Compare her to Veronica, who subverted this trope in the first film to the point of being its {{Deuteragonist}}.

* GenerationXerox: Justified to a certain extent: From the get-go it's clear that Martin is doomed to undergo a SlowTransformation into a HalfHumanHybrid due to being the son of Seth Brundle. But that doesn't fully explain how he ''also'' is as socially awkward and intellectually brilliant as his father, proving to be the only person who can make the telepods work as intended. On top of that, he falls in love with a beautiful brunette who helps him with that project, likes how {{Adorkable}} he is, and does not reject him when he begins to mutate. They also visit the sole surviving member of the previous film's LoveTriangle in hopes of getting aid from him. The good news for Martin is that due to being born a mutant with more human DNA than his father ended up with, even with his transformation he does not undergo a ProtagonistJourneyToVillain and [[spoiler: ends up becoming completely human, allowing him and Beth to be together]].

* HalfHumanHybrid: This movie confirms that Seth and Veronica conceived Martin '''after''' his mutation.

* ComicBookContinuation: ''The Fly: Outbreak'' follows what happens when Martin attempts to [[spoiler: undo Anton Bartok's transformation into a mutant]].

* BloodierAndGorier: Unlike its predecessor, this one has a significant body count. See also LighterAndSofter below, in consideration of this being an extremely rare case of simultaneously counting for ''both'' tropes.

* IKnowYoureWatchingMe: As a ChildProdigy Martin figures out that the "mirror" in his room is a one-way observation window and reveals this to one of the scientists with him at the time. As an adult, when he learns from Beth that his bedroom (and likely his whole house) was bugged, he tears it apart to find the hidden camera. When he does, he not only looks into it -- to the alarm of the security staff -- but spits on its lens.

* OnePasswordAttemptEver: Bartok Industries scientists attempt to activate Martin's telepods when he escapes. This is actually a case of ''Two'' Password Attempts Ever, because when they give the wrong password at the computer's prompt of [[AC:WHAT'S THE MAGIC WORD?]], it gives them another chance, telling them, [[AC:WARNING: INCORRECT RESPONSE WILL ACTIVATE TAPEWORM]]. Bartok understands that only Martin knows or would know the "magic word."

* GenerationXerox: From the get-go it's clear that Martin is doomed to undergo a SlowTransformation into a HalfHumanHybrid due to being the son of Seth Brundle. But he ''also'' is as socially awkward and intellectually brilliant as his father, proving to be the only person who can make the telepods work as intended again. He falls in love with a beautiful brunette who helps him with that project, likes how {{Adorkable}} he is, and does not reject him when he begins to mutate. They also visit the sole surviving member of the previous film's LoveTriangle in hopes of getting aid from him. The good news for Martin is that due to being born a mutant with more human DNA than his father ended up with, even with his transformation he does not undergo a ProtagonistJourneyToVillain and [[spoiler: ends up becoming completely human, allowing him and Beth to be together]].
