Where was The Fly filmed?
- Toronto, Canada, Toronto – Seth Brundle's teleportation experiment laboratory where the accident occurs. The primary filming location for the scientist's high-tech laboratory sequences; Cronenberg used Toronto facilities to create the sterile, clinical environment essential to the film's body-horror narrative
- Toronto, Canada, Toronto – Exterior shots of the city and Seth's apartment building. Toronto's urban landscape served as the primary setting for the film's establishing shots and exterior scenes, establishing the modern industrial city as the story's backdrop
- Toronto, Canada, Toronto – Veronica's apartment and hotel scenes where much of the dialogue and relationship drama unfolds. Interior locations used for the romantic and dramatic scenes between Seth and Veronica; these Toronto locations provided the intimate spaces where the human drama plays out against the horror premise
