The idea floated around on various production schedules since 2000, while at least one other film, the entirely unrelated King Cobra (1999), stole the sequel’s thunder by billing itself as Anaconda 2 in some places. All of this makes the surprising prevalence of the idea of an Anaconda 2 puzzling. It subsequently gained a reputation for its absurd entertainment value – the ridiculousness of its plot and the sight of a madly overacting Jon Voight. Anaconda was ridiculed by both audiences and critics, nevertheless was a modest – although hardly runaway – success. At the same time, their attempts to survive are sabotaged by the traitorous Jack Byron who is determined to obtain samples of the Blood Orchid at all costs.Īnaconda (1997) was one of the first of the modern brand of CGI monster movies to come out following the success of Jurassic Park (1993). Moreover, it is mating season and a host of other giant anacondas have gathered in the area. As the anaconda picks several of the party off, they realise that it has been grown to giant size by ingesting the Blood Orchid. They proceed on foot but find that they are being hunted by a giant anaconda. They travel through a number of perils aboard Johnson’s rickety boat Bloody Mary, before they crash over a waterfall and the boat is wrecked. However, the expedition arrive in the middle of the monsoon season and find that the only boat owner willing to take them upstream is the individualistic American skipper Bill Johnson. A team of botanists obtain sponsorship from a pharmaceutical company to mount an expedition to Borneo to find the rare Blood Orchid that blooms in a remote valley only once every seven years and may be the panacea that will halt human aging.
