Let's be honest.
This movie sucks ass.Let's be honest.
Us true cinephiles, we don't care.Let's be honest.
John Voight produces the Mona Lisa of overindulgent campy B movie performances.Let's be honest.
We were all rooting for the snake. -
They should make a sequel to Straight Outta Compton that’s just about Ice Cube shooting Anaconda. Jon Voight will be an entirely CGI character
-
Absolutely ridiculous (and ridiculously fun) big snake riverboat jungle jam where Ice Cube is a camera man, J-Lo is a director shooting a documentary, Owen Wilson is a sound guy (I think?), Eric Stoltz is an Amazonian expert, and an opening where Danny Trejo commits suicide (after a snake attack leaves him with no other option) is all overshadowed by Jon Voight’s absurd accent and serpent-like beady eyed sleaze champion stare. This movie is a bulbous salutation of dumb 90’s fun that I kinda love... I think I’ve watched this incredibly silly movie 15 or 20 times.
If this was made by Umberto Lenzi or Ruggerio Deodato in the late 70’s/early 80’s with Tomas Milian as Jon Voight’s character it would ba called Anaconda Holocaust or Anaconda Ferox, feature a Riz Ortolani score, and it would destroy every movie in that subgenre.

People keep talking about how insane Jon Voight's "performance" is in this movie, but are we 100% sure he is not actually out there throwing buckets of monkey blood at people?
-
"All you need for a movie is a giant snake and Jon Voight being a weirdly accented nutjob. And a part where Ice Cube calls the snake a bitch." -Jean-Luc Godard
-
Cinema kind of peaked with horny 90s creature features, in which Oscar winning actors were using accents the world had never witnessed before and practical effects/CGI were at odds with each other more than the characters. Even the movies that were ‘bad’ had sensual on-location sunsets and delightful camerawork. Bring back blowing shit up don’t make me say it again!!
House of Horrors - Creature Month: ANACONDA, with Claira😎🐍
-
1997 was the year of Jon Voight's Oscar snub, which might be the greatest one in history.

-
Well this giant CGI snake movie has not aged well, and is not very good in general.
"Asshole in one."
Movies like Anaconda are proof why it was so much better that we did not see the shark right away in 'Jaws'. Because when you have a big fake rubbery looking monster, killing an equally bad looking panther in the first act, your sense of dread drops rapidly. Anaconda is about a documentary crew that goes in search of a mysterious tribe in the Amazon, only to come upon a snake hunter that tricks them into helping him try and capture a live Anaconda.
The snake trapper is none other than Jon Voight, and despite him being a great actor…

Film #30 of the "Scavenger Hunt 2" Challenge!
Task #27 : A film that is a guilty pleasure that you HAVE seen before and prize highly! However no one would EVER expect you to love it!
letterboxd.com/naughty/list/scavenger-hunt-2/
___________________________________________________________________Yes! I love this film!
Yes! I sought emergency treatment to no avail!
It is one of the most entertaining and enjoyable modern day creature feature flicks out there!
It has not one but two gloriously over the top villains! I don't know which is worse the ginormous anaconda with an bottomless pit for a stomach or the nefarious Paul Serone played by Jon Voight!
Anaconda is my cinematic main squeeze! Watch it and soon it will put the squeeze on YOU! ;-)
