1	* ActingForTwo: Creator/DavidHedison plays both André and the fly with André's head and arm.
2	* BeamMeUpScotty: The André-headed fly is often quoted as saying "Help me!" repeatedly during the climax. The full dialogue is "Help me! Please, help me! No! Don't hurt me! Nooooo!!! Please, help me! Please! Go away! Go away! No, no, no, noooooo!!! No, noo, noooo!!!"
3	* CompletelyDifferentTitle:
4	** Argentina, Brazil and Mexico: ''The Fly with the White Head''
5	** France: ''The Black Fly''
6	** Italy: ''Doctor K's Experiments''
7	** Japan: ''Fear of the Fly Man''
8	** Turkey: ''The Desire That Killed''
9	* {{Corpsing}}: Creator/VincentPrice is clearly smirking during the scene where François and Charas see the fly. According to Price, he and Creator/HerbertMarshall had to do around 20 takes due to both of them cracking up at the fly's squeaky voice.
10	* CreatorBacklash: While he would ultimately be proud of making the film in the long run, Creator/DavidHedison (who played André and the André-headed fly) was furious that he had screamed at the top of his lungs for the climax only for his voice to be sped up without his consent, as it made his performance more funny than horrifying. He thought it would be more effective if the effect only applied to shots where he wasn't seen, with a normal voice for his shots.
11	* EnforcedMethodActing: Patricia Owens' reaction to André's fly-head during the unmasking scene is genuine, as Kurt Neumann deliberately didn't show it to her before this scene was filmed.
12	* FakeNationality: The main characters are all Québécois, yet most of their actors are American/British. Patricia Owens (who played Hélène) ''was'' born in Canada, but in the British Columbia territory.
