Chase_Witherspoon A hybrid snake, measuring in excess of 100 feet is accidentally released to feed on the residents of a rural town when its plane escort crashes in bad weather. Local boy John (Frayne Rosanoff) and his friends must work together to neutralise the threat, after attempts by the National Security Agency fail abysmally. Made-for-television comedy-horror boasting some offbeat casting, a fistful of amusing one-liners and site gags, painfully puerile special effects and a half-baked storyline.The cast is an eclectic mix of experience and rawness, with many ex-child actors (the Griswold kids from "European Vacation" are both here as ex-lovers), and bit parts from old faithfuls churning through inane dialogue. The snake itself matches the TV budget; in some scenes looking so detached from the frame, it's absurd. There's also the matter of the snake's length; it's referred to as 119 feet by the expert herpetologist (Robert Englund), but the reviews and keep case state lengths varying between 50 and 60 feet. Perhaps most irritating of all is "Python"'s inability to decide whether to be a comedy, or a horror movie, with laboured attempts at funnies, and opportunistic site gags, spoiling any chance at suspense or effective plot development.Casper Van Dien's characterisation of an NSA agent must be a parody, as the accent and mannerisms he employs are nothing short of preposterous. Only Gary Grubbs can claim acting honours for his blithe, not-so-dumb sheriff character, although at times, it's akin to a Gomer Pyle impersonation.After several bloody mutilations and stop-start confrontations, the local folk combine with Englund to concoct a plan to lure the snake into a secret military bunker, and destroy it with powerful explosives. And that's where the film ought to have ended. Instead, there's another climax, followed by a shallow and meaningless conclusion that looks like it survived the cutting room on the basis of one, clichéd, pre-meditated joke. But, scathing criticism aside, it has its moments, and any movie in which Jenny McCarthy loses her head, can't be all bad can it?

Michael_Elliott Python (2000) BOMB (out of 4) Robert England plays a mad scientist who created a huge python that spits acid. I'm terrified of snakes, which means I usually have a good time being scared with snake movies but this one here was downright awful and ranks as one of the worst films I've seen the past twenty years. The acting is atrocious, the screenplay laughable and the special effects are terrible looking.Python 2 (2002) BOMB (out of 4) The American government brings home an eight-five foot snake, which eventually escapes and starts eating people. This is another horrid, direct to video horror movie but it's slightly better than the first film since this one here runs ten minutes shorter. Is that any kind of recommendation?

Bradley Moon This movie is excellent. Seriously. I have always loved snakes and others reptiles. They were some flaws in the movie but ill keep them secret. Python is awesome for all those snake lovers out there and it contains minimal amount of gore and blood. I'll always be looking out for another great snake movie like this one. I'll just say one thing-Pythons 2 is much better, but this ones still great! Really it is. Pyhton is a little bit more, oh, worse than Pythons 2. I will always love Python because of the snake, Casper Van Dien, and last but not least, William Zabrka(awesome acting as Greg Larson in #1 and #2)! P.S. I'm finally going to get this on DVD!

Pet_Rock A giant Python being transported by plane kills the Co-Pilot (Marc McClure) and than busts up the plane, causing it to fall near a small town. For the first half of the movie, the snake wreaks havoc in the town, killing people that all happen to have a connection to one John Cooper (Frayne Rosanoff) So, of course the cops think it's him. For the second half, John and his friends (Sara Mornell, Dana Barron, Wil Wheaton) Go out to a house outside the town, being followed by some cops (William Zabka, Sean Whalen, Gary Grubbs), the person in charge of the python (Robert Englund), A FBI agent (Casper Van Dien) And of course... the Python.First of all, it was surprising seeing some big names in this movie: Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street series) and Jenny McCarthy (Scream 3, Scary Movie 3). Even the unknowns did a swell job acting.Richard Clabaugh, director, has some experience with horror, having worked in some horror movies (Waxwork, The Prophecy, Campfire Tales, Phantoms) so he did alright.The movie itself plays as a regular CGI snake creature feature with some great bits: Robert Englund's love for a tiny snake, the opening scene was well done, a girl running around in a towel for about half the movie, explosions, all the stuff to make a good "B" movie.So, welcome to the vat of so good it's bad movies, Python! If you're a fan of these types of movies, check it out! And of course, the snake is as CGI as ever.
