 
A
pharmaceautical company takes a journey
out to find a rare flower called blood
orchid that holds eternal life and will
have fortune whoever finds it and brings
back samples but they run into a two
fisted soldier named Bill Johnson (Johnny
Messner) who takes them there in a run
down boat.
However, on their way their boat goes to
an upway river and is destroyed so they
are lurking into the jungle to continue
their journey but run into poisonous
insects, crocodiles and leeches. Not only
that, they are trying to survive from
anaconda's that are eating them up one by
one as a nest is nearby and will stop at
nothing to protect their breeding ground
which is the blood orchids home.
One of the people named Dr. Jack Byron
(Matthew Marsden) becomes evil and greedy
and will stop at nothing as well to get
those blood orchids even if it means
killing some of the people with him.
This is a whole
new story on it's own as the previous
film was meant to be a story from start
to finish.
It has alot of action in it and lots of
suspense too with the anaconda's
attacking but the CGI effects are a wee
bit off. Still it's passable.
The story is very touching and cute in
other spots with a chimpanzee involved up
to mischief and all as you hope the
little critter will be alright from the
dangers around everyone.
The acting is
quite good and everyone knew how to stand
on their own with their character's in
it.
Lead actor Johnny Messner was
the best in it as the head guy taking the
rest in his boat as he showed a good and
tough attitude and acting silent and
stern when he speaks.
KaDee Strickland was another one who
had a good tough girl type personality
while battling these anaconda's.
Matthew Marsden was very natural
with his talent as a scumbag in the film
that only wants what's best for him and
proves he can bring that across.
Eugene Byrd had the most energy in
the film and was terrific at freaking out
on what is happening and convincing at
being paranoid.
Salli Richardson was quite a
character with her part in the film as an
insecure, touchy and whiney one who you
sometimes feel like telling to shut up.
Dwight H. Little
seems to bring alot of action to his
directing in this film as he leaves the
film off to a good beginning as the
camera really pans down well on bit part
actors Khoa Do and Aireti
as hunters in the jungle with an anaconda
on their trail.
He directs lead actor Johnny Messner very
well showing an attatidue towards the
cast about his out of shape boat and
being blunt about it when the rest gripe.
There's a nice jumping moment when a
chimanzee freaks out and jumps on
supporting actress Salli Richardson
as she does well by screaming
hysterically.
There's also a good shot on her falling
into the water from the boat and a
crocodile is ready to attack her from
behind.
There's also a good shot on Messner
in the water stabbing the croc to death
and Richardson in total shock of
her attack.
There's a real cute shot on the
chimpanzee going to the top of the boat
to try and pick a lemon off a tree and
the boat drives away as this creature
wanders through the forest trying to
catch up and you suddenly have a feeling
something bad is going to happen to this
cute thing.
We also see a real suspenseful moment
with everyone in the boat and it's going
down a waterfall which looks like a
rollercoaster ride.
We have good and jumping moments with
anaconda's lashing out super fast on
their prey too.
Eugene Byrd was terrific by tripping
out after spotting one as well as
discovering that leeches are all over
him.
A nice kind of romantic dialogue between
both KaDee Strickland and Messner
while he is shaving with a knife in the
jungle at night as they had a perfect
chemistry.
We also see a real good and evil moment
with Matthew Marsden coming up
to Morris Chestnut in a hut and
then dropping a poisonous spider on him.
Chestnut reacts perfectly well after
he is bitten by acting paralyzed.
There's perfect shots on most of the cast
walking through a watery cave and then
struggling to get out with an anaconda on
their tail.
Strickland really knew how to act
tough by decapitating an anaconda.
Messner reacted greatly by throwing
a knife at an anaconda from a tree and Byrd
performs great by screaming and shouting
while he is wrapped by this serpeant.
Marsden was perfectly menacing by
pointing a gun towards Strickland forcing
her to cross a log to get some orchidl
flowers for him where underneath there's
anaconda's. Marsden is perfect
when she cries when the log is almost
breaking too.
A fairly neat effect with an anaconda
nearly exploding and then a pit is being
covered by rocks and dirt.
Nerida
Tyson-Chew composes some sharp
violin playing in the film making it
sound very adventurous but a little too
mainstream like.
Gordon
Mitchell: Are you okay now?
Gail Stern: Yeah, I'm fine. And
keep your hands off of me!
Gordon Mitchell: It might be hard,
but I'll try!
Dr.
Ben Douglas: [the expedition is
wading through a marsh - Ben starts
humming the theme from "Jaws"]
Duuh, dum, duuh, dum. Dum dum dum dum dum
dum...
Gail Stern: Stop that, or I swear
to God I'll kill you!
[Ben gets pulled under the water]
Gail
Stern: Hey! Over here bitch!
