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.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
the part where the snake swallowed jon voight whole and then regurgitated him back up and he winked... truly a cinematic masterpiece
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?
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!!

"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
Whoever your favorite comedian is, whoever you think is the funniest person in movies, they have nothing — NOTHING! — on Jon Voight, his face contorted into a lizard man sneer, nonchalantly announcing “eh, he gonna be all right” half a second after he’s shoved a dirty drinking straw into Eric Stoltz’s neck because he got stung in the mouth by a gigantic poisoned wasp.
"Plis, peepil. Don’t make me out a monstah. I didn't eat the captain Mateo."
You haven't seen true cinema until you've seen Jon Voight's Anaconda performance😈.
This movie is unironically amazing & I love it dearly⛴️. JLo, Ice Cube & Owen Wilson fight a giant water snake🐍. If you can't have fun with that premise then I don't wanna know you😆.
I must once again highlight Jon Voight's performance🎭. His bizarre attempt at an accent, long greasy ponytail, & aggressive horniness really made this movie iconic🔥. He's a live action cartoon character😜.
