HSSSSSSTERICALLY FUNNY!
I haven't laughed at a movie in some time, but "Python" is one funny movie. And, one BAD movie! There is some over the top overacting, some really horrible non-acting, and the special effects are laughably crude and inconsistent. Also, why doesn't the snake use its acid on anybody when it's down to the final minutes? Casper van Dien continues to prove he's the worst actor in some time; Robert Englund looks embarrassed; and only Jenny McCarthy adds some zest with her sexual manuevering as a potential house buyer. William Sabka tries hard, and acquits himself in some ways. The rest of the cast---oh boy! The opening sequence is tasteless and unnecessary. But if you need a good laugh, this is one to give you some!
awesome b-movie
I saw this at my local video store and grabbed it without thinking twice. I got it for several reasons. One being that Wil Wheaton was in it and the other being i love my monster movies. This is exactly what one might expect. Atrocious acting by a somewhat talented and recognizable cast, TERRIBLE snake effects, but a satisfying amount of gore, and "leave you hanging" non-sex scenes. All in all, it was a load of fun and it was great for late-night viewing. I had a fun time with the over-the-top performances and seeing the results of the snake effects. There was very little nudity but be warned: Those expecting to see Jenny McCarthy in the buff will be sorely dissapointed. My only complaint was that one character i liked got killed and Keith Coogan, (Brad from adventures in Babysitting and Cheetah) who is billed in the opening credits, doesn't show up until the end for one speaking part and it is after the snake "problem" has been resolved. Great film for cheesy horror film buffs. I'm waiting for the seqaul myself.
"Awesome movie! Shove over Anaconda!"
Although the "Anaconda" snake affects were much better, this still is a good movie. "Python" does have its share of gore and sexuality, but not language (which doesn't really matter to me). I liked the performances by Robert Englund and Casper Van Dien. Van Dien played Special Agent Parker, Robert Englund was Dr. Rudolph. Van Dien was really cool in this movie, although he looks sort of rediculous with that mustache. In the movie, Van Dien has an English accent but at the same time he has a Southern drawl. The scene at the beginning with the two women was NOT cool, but the very first sequence with the plane crash is awesome, probably my favorite scene. One of my biggest complaints is the Python's roar, it sounds like it came from an early '50s horror movie. A good roar for this big snake would be the combination roar of a T-Rex from "Lost World" and the "Predator", but I guess this one is fine too. One of my other complaints is the scenes that show the Python's snake-skin, it's way to small for a 170 foot reptile. I wish the 20th Century Fox would combine the monster from the movie "Crocodile" with this Python. In other words the Python and Crocodile should fight each other. Or at least there could be a sequel where the Python returns with another snake. Buy the movie it's great!!
PYTHON - THE WONDER YEARS
What is it with all of these wanna'be Joel Siegels that berate these type of movies. Joseph Hayes and Bret Fetzer - GROW UP. Did you even see this movie released in the theaters; I sure haven't. It must have gone straight to video, thereby classifying it as a 'B' movie right from the beginning. Expectations sure can't be too high. Are you two writers or directors - could you really do better??? I found this movie to be really entertaining. I wasn't surprised when I didn't see anyone from the cast go up to accept their Oscars this past year. If you like a fast paced adventure - and yes, Jenny McCarthy looked hot - and you like big snakes - like you can fit 129 foot snake into 1 frame, duh - then you will like this movie. Granted, it probably won't bring home a plethora of awards that the entertainment industry lavishes on itself each year, but seeing a huge snake gulp down those unsuspecting people ---classic. In short, if you like suspense, large animals chasing their snacks through the bush and some character conflict - also opening (...) scene - then this movie is right up your alley.
