Leofwine_draca Forget the horrible second film in the series (ANACONDA 2: HUNT FOR THE BLOOD ORCHID) as ANACONDA III is a much better production and in much the same spirit as the ultra-cheesy original. Yes, this is a cheapo B-movie TV production, filled to the brim with cheesy CGI, bad acting and a script that goes around in circles for ages. But it's also a whole lot of fun.B-movie fans will be in their element with this action-packed storyline, which sees a pair of gigantic killer snakes on the loose, pursued by a pack of bounty hunters with material reward in mind. Half the film consists of David Hasslehoff and John Rhys-Davies trying to outdo each other in terms of scenery-chewing, and the rest consists of the fake-looking snakes ripping up the human cast members in increasingly gory ways.Yes, this is a film all about the kills, and they're satisfyingly bloody by genre standards, about the same as in my other cult favourite, AZTEC REX. Watching a series of poor actors getting munched on is an often hilarious experience, and it helps the film run along smoothly. ANACONDA III: OFFSPRING is certainly no classic, but I enjoyed the heck out of it.

taikaelain When you see the title, Anaconda 3, you know what to expect, or what not to expect. Do NOT expect witty lines, intelligent plot, Oscar-winning acting, breathtaking CGIs or scientifically accurate factual details. Instead you can look forward to experiencing extremely awkward acting, dull and one-dimensional characters, very cheesy lines, supremely crappy CGIs, or in other words, a film that has not one single reason speaking for its existence. The only reason I'm giving this pile of dung one point is the unintentional (?) comedic value. You cannot watch this movie without busting out laughing every three minutes. So, do not go and watch this movie in order to see horror, gore, thrill or action, because all you get is a very hungover looking David Hasselhoff repeating cheesy lines and waving a embarrassingly crappy gun with a "hot" (meaning super annoying) blonde "doctor" chick on his arm as they sprint around an East-European forest after two CGI snakes that look like they were designed by a three year old.

manjodude This Anaconda is bad! I don't mean the snake, although that is ugly looking too! I'm talking about the movie. The snakes looked so fake and the movie is weakly made, as compared to the intensity & seriousness of the first two anaconda movies(the 1997 & 2004 releases).Stars like David Hasselhoff gets wasted(no pun intended) and the rest of the cast is forgettable including the main lead, Crystal Allen.The basic idea in the story sounds nice - a billionaire spending lavishly to set up a science lab experimenting on snakes and other creatures to create a cure for his bone cancer but that proves disastrous as the experimental snakes grow monstrous and attack the humans, slaughtering or swallowing them alive. But turning that idea into movie reality crashed. It was boring & uninteresting, simple as that.Verdict: Me thinks, the anacondas ate up the actual production of the movie, including the script! Could be why this flick looks messy :p

Paul Andrews Anaconda III starts as rich billionaire Peter Murdoch (John Rhys-Davis) gets a guided tour of his multi million dollar investment, a state of the art scientific laboratory where a team of scientists have created a couple of huge sixty foot Anacondas, Murdoch is dying from cancer & using a serum from the Blood Orchid a possible cure has been found. Unfortunately the serum is lethal to all life apart from Snake's, in an effort to understand why they are immune these scientists genetically created two huge Anacondas but the elusive serum safe for humans still evades them. While walking around the laboratory Murdoch uses a flashlight to look into the Anacondas enclosure which annoys them, the Anacondas break out & kill anyone within reach. Murdoch escapes & orders Pinkus (Ryan McCluskey) & Dr. Amanda Hayes (Crystal Allen) to track the Anacondas & recapture them, using big game hunter Hammett (David Hasselhoff) to lead the mission the hunters soon find themselves as the hunted as the Anacondas kill them off...Also known as Anaconda 3: Offspring this American & Romanian co-production was photographed & directed by Don E. FauntLeRoy & originally premiered on the Sy-Fy Channel during 2008 before it was then released on DVD in an uncut gorier version, it's this DVD version that I will be basing my comments on. The second sequel to the truly awful Anaconda (1997) which for me is one of the worst big budget Hollywoof horror films ever made, it's a film that I really despise actually although the direct follow up Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004) was a big improvement & not that bad so how does Anaconda III measure up? Well it depends on how you approach it really, taken as serious sci-fi horror creature feature it's pathetic but as a fun way to pass 90 odd minutes & have a bit of a laugh along the way then it's not too bad at all. Anaconda III is a film that you can laugh at or with, it doesn't really matter one way or the other because if you can get over the terrible script, the vague plot, the awful character's, the bad dialogue & absurd set-pieces then there's a lot of fun to be had here. While Anaconda III is never going to win any awards for, well, anything I did have a good time watching it. The plot is silly, the end has the whole world in jeopardy as the giant Anaconda is pregnant with lots of baby Anaconda but it's never explained how the Anacondas could take over the world in ten hours, the experiments that created the giant Anaconda are vague there's far too much footage of people running through the woods looking for the Anaconda. The big plot twist at the end is easy to see coming.Anaconda III is quite a silly film, these Snake's seem to roar & growl rather than hiss like most Snake's do in reality & why do they have a full set of sharp teeth? I though Snake's just had two large fangs to inject poison? There are some goofy looking CGI shots of a toothy grinning Anaconda, in general the CGI work is poor, the Anaconda seem to slide along the ground rather than anything else & they move a little fast at times. There are some silly looking effects shots that's for sure. There's a surprising amount of gore here, people have their heads bitten off, people are impaled, blood spurts, limbs are severed, various mutilated bodies are seen, a chewed up Goat is seen, various people are eaten, some are shot & some are stabbed. Competently shot but without much style Anaconda III is typical made for television fare.Probably shot on a low budget & filmed in Romania this is maybe slightly better made than the usual Sy-Fy Channel creature feature & certainly gorier. The acting is bad, the main man himself David Hasselhoff is always fun to watch but he surprisingly doesn't feature as much as maybe you may expect. Genre vet John Rhys-Davies turns up in a small role.Anaconda III is not a good film at all, it's silly & unoriginal & makes little sense but it is fun & a lot gorier than I thought. It moves along at a decent pace & while the CGI effects aren't great I did have fun watching it & sometimes that's good enough. Followed by Anaconda 4: Trail of Blood (2009).
