'Alone among snakes, anacondas are unique. After eating their prey, they regurgitate in order to eat again.' This information is included in the opening titles of 'Anaconda,' and as the words rolled across the screen I heard a chuckle in the theater. It came from me. I sensed with a deep certainty that before the movie was over, I would see an anaconda regurgitate its prey. Human prey, preferably. 'Anaconda' did not disappoint me.
It's a slick, scary, funny Creature Feature, beautifully photographed and splendidly acted in high adventure style. Its snakes are thoroughly satisfying. The most dreaded predator of the Amazon, we learn, the anaconda can grow to 40 feet in length, and crushes its prey before engorging it whole (so whole that it eats an entire jaguar, leaving behind only a single poignant eyeball). These insights into anaconda lore come mostly from a character named Sarone, played by as a slimy river rat with a dangerous gleam in his eye. 'This river can kill you in a thousand ways,' he intones, and we get the feeling that he can, too. The propeller of his boat is broken, and he's rescued by a small expedition that hopes to make a documentary about the People of the Mist-a legendary lost Amazon tribe. 'I know them,' Sarone says.

'They saved my life.' ' And are probably still regretting it. The leader of the expedition is Terri Flores (, from 'Selena'), who will direct the documentary. Plays Danny, her cinematographer. Steven Cale, a scientist.
The other members include as their fastidious British narrator, as the sound man ('Ever notice how the jungle makes you horny?' '), Vincent Castellanos as the sinister boat pilot, and as a production assistant. If the cast seems large, reflect that some, perhaps many, of these characters are required so that they can be eaten by snakes. A movie like 'Anaconda' can easily be dumb and goofy (see 'Piranha').
Much depends on the skill of the filmmakers. Here one of the key players is the cinematographer, who creates a seductive yet somehow sinister jungle atmosphere. The movie looks great, and the visuals and the convincing soundtrack and ominous music make the Amazon into a place with presence and personality: It's not a backdrop, it's an enveloping presence. The acting is also crucial. Director, whose ' (1993) was another good thriller set in the jungle, finds the right notes. He gives the members of the expedition plausible backgrounds (Lopez and Ice Cube say they met in the USC film school), and he allows Jon Voight to take some chances with his performance.

Voight's river rat is always on the delectable edge of overacting. He sneers, he frowns, he grimaces, he utters ominous pronouncements ('So young-and yet so lethal,' he says, as a baby snake sinks its teeth into a fingertip). This is a daring performance: Voight, a serious actor, isn't afraid to pull out the stops as a melodramatic villain, and his final scene, which he plays with a wink, will be remembered wherever great movie exits are treasured. Now as for the snakes.
Several kinds of snakes are used in the movie: Animated, animatronic and, for all I know, real. They are mostly convincing. There are a few moments when we know, if we bother to think about it, that special effects are being used (especially in a scene where a flaming snake attacks). But there are other moments that earn a gasp from the audience, including one where a giant snake captures its falling prey in mid-air.
There are utterly convincing closeups of an anaconda's head, its bright eyes glistening, its mouth gaping open to reveal fangs, its skin gleaming with a terrible beauty. (Those shots are matched by a point-of-view shot from inside the snake, and by another in which we see the snake's belly skin stretched tautly over the body and face of one of its victims.) The screenplay has nice authentic touches. The Eric Stoltz character lectures on the dangers of going into the water. He's less afraid of the snakes than of 'the little catfish that swims up through your urethra, finds a nice warm spot, and spreads its thorny little spines.' ' A scuba diver finds a poisonous wasp in his mouthpiece. An emergency tracheotomy is performed with a pocket knife.
There's a mysterious wall built across the river, which they blow up with dynamite that Voight happens to have with him ('Always good to be prepared'). And a protest that blowing up the wall will 'upset the ecological balance of the river.' ' Yeah, like the wall grew there. 'Anaconda' is an example of one of the hardest kinds of films to make well: a superior mass-audience entertainment.
It has the effects and the thrills, but it also has big laughs, quirky dialogue and a gruesome imagination. Fast and furious 8 youtube full movie. You've got to like a film where a lustful couple sneaks out into the dangerous jungle at night and suddenly the guy whispers, 'Wait-did you hear that?
Anaconda begins by introducing us to a film crew. They are on the verge of meeting and filming a once thought lost tribe of people located on the edge of the Amazon river. The film crew slowly but surely makes their way deeper and deeper into the rain forest when they chance upon a lone man on a wrecked boat. Under the hope that the stranger knows about the native tribe's location, they take him upon their ship. Shortly after the rescue, the film crew's captain suffers a debilitating wasp sting to his throat while underwater attempting to free the ship from a mass of vines, knotting up the boat's propeller. Once the captain is out of commission, the rescued stranger starts acting exactly like that, strange. Unbeknownst to the film crew, the stranger is a snake hunter obsessed with finding and killing a large anaconda snake in the area.
He begins to start leading the crew towards where he believes the snake to be instead of where the native tribe is supposed to be located. As they get deeper into the amazon, the elusive anaconda starts to pick off the crew one by one. The snake hunter then uses this to gain one ally from the film crew, who helps the snake hunter keep the remainder of the crew under control, including the new ally's girlfriend. The partnership is short lived as the anaconda makes a snack of the traitorous crew member. This allows the rest of the crew to physically overpower the snake hunter and to tie him up. The snake hunter then goads the girlfriend of the most recent victim into getting near him to kill him. He manages to choke her into unconsciousness before stealthily dumping her body overboard, where she drowns.
The anaconda at this point returns and throws the crew into disarray. It kills one more member of the original film crew before being shot and killed. With one enemy down, the film crew also dispatches of the snake hunter and they attempt to continue on. The snake hunter however was not killed. He catches up to the last two film crew members and captures them and uses them as bait for an even larger, second anaconda. The snake takes the bait and the snake hunter springs his trap. The rope trap is no match for the snake who breaks free with relative ease.
In the meantime, the film crew members are escaping from their bonds. The snake kills the snake hunter and is dramatically burned to death by the last two survivors. The survivors continue as best as possible on their path and do find the native tribe they had been originally looking for.
