Some greedy scientists discover the 'blood orchid' holds the secret to immortality, blooms once every seven years, and only grows deep in the jungles of giant python-infested...
more...Borneo. Quickly, an expedition is formed but it's the rainy season and the only boat they can charter is a leaky barge belonging to unshaven Captain Johnson (Johnny Mesner). The cute blonde in the expedition (KaDee Strickland) digs Johnson's stoic demeanour, while her scientist boss (Matthew Marsden) tries to win her through promises of untold riches once they find that orchid. Some of the other potential items on the snakes' menu: Johnson's burly co-pilot (Karl Yune), a handsome ship's doctor (Nicholas Gonzalez), a shrieking techie nerd (Cole Burris), Johnson's pet monkey, and two corporate money-grabbers (Morris Chestnut and Salli Richardson). Of course the only ones who are going to be doing any real grabbing here are the gigantic anacondas, who recognise a boat full of lunch when they see one. They attack from nowhere and are big and fast. As if they weren't enough trouble, there are also poison spiders, a giant crocodile, dangerous waterfalls, explosions, treachery, headhunters, and slimy leeches. Fans of the original may miss Jon Voight, but pretty much everything else--a great mixture of fun, suspense, and both intentional and unintentional laughs--is here, including the healthy tweaking of racial and sexual horror-film stereotypes. Monster movie connoisseurs will find this a meal they can swallow whole and digest for days.

Review of Anacondas: The Hunt For The Blood Orchid DVD by JayHall1991

Advantages: Exciting, Amazing Scenery
Disadvantages: Racial Stereotypes, Clunky dialogue

...It is quite impressive) Overall what Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid lack in non scares and writing finesse it makes up for in sheer action and adventure, especially the climax that is a real gas. The racial stereotypes are annoying and unnecessary, 0 characterization and clunky dialogue do hinder it's progress, but I did enjoy this as a switch your brain off and take it all in spectacle, that has a few jumps along the way. You Can ... Read review

Better but still bad
Review of Anacondas: The Hunt For The Blood Orchid DVD by homer__21

Advantages: More realistic Snakes achieved with CGI rather than foam rubber as in the original
Disadvantages: Lacks originality or suprise, each turn of events is as predictable asa ticking clock

Anyone who watches the original film nowadays will notice how outdated the effects are and in this area the sequel has succeeded. The CGI representations of the snake are much scarier and less comical than the originals' props. But good graphics can't save this film from it's sub standard plot line and predictable events, zero to hero fisherman and the deaths of most of the cast are all too familiar in films like this ('deep blue sea' or the third ...
