I am trying to find a reason why you would do a sequel to what is universally considered a horrible movie. Anaconda did not make that much money at the box office and it was released seven years ago. Anaconda had two well known actors and the rest was a bunch of up and comers in the acting world, but you had the two, to draw attention too. The sequel does not have that and the story is worse and they make the same mistake with special effects and the snakes, how could this be better? Why would you make it? The producers need to be spoken of very badly.

This time a bunch of idiots run into the same jungle to search for this plant that can cure everything from the ingrown toenail to A.I.D.S to mites. The boat gets driven off a waterfall and then the students and professors and the boat captain have to walk through the jungle to get to help. What they don't know is that it is mating season for the Anaconda's and every male within a light year of the female snake is trying to get to get its leg over her. Whoopee.

I would like to talk about the actors but there really is nobody of importance. Two guys have been in other notable movies but I don't want to talk about them. Since they agreed to be in this movie, they are all stupid and very bad actors.

The director of this film was Dwight H. Little and the screenwriters were John Clafin, Daniel Zelman, Michael Miner, and Ed Neumeier. If you see any of these people walking along the streets, you must shun them, laugh at them. Get them to leave the movie industry and move on to pursuits more according to their talents, street sweepers after an elephant parade.

Once again these above people made the mistake of making the snakes ultra fast. The problem created, like the first one is that it is not believable. I am not scared of something this unbelievable, which is saying something because I am fairly jumpy in any suspense movie. I guess I don't know how to make the snakes menacing but the introduction of speed was just a poor choice.

Once again this movie, like the original, sucks ass. Avoid this movie at all costs or you will need a transplant. Brain, eyes, ears, stomach, liver, and testicles, and that is a lot to replace. If you are a woman skip the testicle part, but you may be in danger of not being able to conceive a child after watching this movie, punishment from a higher being.
