The 1997 movie Anaconda sent a bunch of movie stars into the Amazon, but some of them weren't yet stars at the time. 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, but didn't have much else to offer. 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 eventually became a cult classic -as a "so bad it's good" comedy.
And now it has become a real comedy. The 2025 movie Anaconda starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black opens on Christmas Day. They play Anaconda fans who try to remake the movie and instead end up reliving it. So it's only natural that Screen Junkies went back to 1997 to bring us an Honest Trailer for the original Anaconda. It's a rich vein of material for them to mock.
