An Honest Trailer for Anaconda

The 1997 movie Anaconda sent a bunch of movie stars into the Amazon, but some of them weren't yet movie stars. The story is about a world-record-size anaconda, a type of boa constrictor. In other words, a big snake. The film is overstuffed with sweat, sex, and over-the-top special effects, which is all well and good if you're into that sort of thing. Critics didn't care for Anaconda, and the film was nominated for six Razzie Awards. It would have won some if it weren't for Kevin Costner's movie The Postman. Still, Anaconda became a cult classic -as a comedy. 

And now it has become a comedy. The 2025 movie Anaconda starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black opens on Christmas Day, so it's only natural that Screen Junkies went retro and bring us an Honest Trailer for the original Anaconda.
