The Fly (1986)

This image reminds me of an unrelated, yet still related, clip I saw of Liam Neeson talking about when he took on the role of Darkman for the Sam Raimi film of the same name. Neeson shared that he was still a relatively young and inexperienced film actor who learned the importance of inquiring about the amount of time he would be spending in a make-up chair during filming before agreeing to take the role.

Looking at Jeff Goldblum here, I wonder if he found himself wondering, or learning, that very same lesson here. The above pictured effect must have taken an entire workday to apply, and that does not include all the time eaten up between the takes for effect touch ups and such. It also does not factor in the time spent making the head and body molds. Just how not claustrophobic do you think you are?
