Rating: Summary: Average snake movie. Review: This is just an average snake movie starring Pat Morita from the Karate Kid movies & Scott Brandon. Scott is a local doctor at a small town in California, Kasey Fallo is his girlfriend & a local cop. Pat Morita comes in around halfway through the flick as a snake expert.
It opens when 2 disgruntled scientists pissed at the pace of the research decide to lock the head in his office & speed up the pace of the work, in the process they get carried away & cause a huge explosion & fire where Seth, the snake escapes & kills the head guy's daughter from a bite, but the head guy lives to escape. The other 2 were killed by the explosion & fire.
Later on, the snake makes its presence known in town by going a spree of killing people, by the 2nd attack Scott, Kasey, & the mayor get worried about what they're dealing with, esp. when a deputy finds a huge snakeskin intact. They realize its a 30-footer & decide to get antivenom & summon the help of the expert. The 2nd half is mainly just battle planning, dialog about the severity of the situation, & the showdown between Pat & Seth. A cheesy scene is when some local hunters decide to pursue Seth with Rambo-esque tactics & state of the art weaponry, but they're killed off one by one.
The camerawork is good, it is very well done & keeps you on the edge of your set. The acting is good, but uneven at times, esp. a cameo by Erik Estrada as a gay brewmaster which was really pointless, I felt. The story & plot are good, but the pacing is very uneven, a lot of moments of on-the-edge-of-your-seat suspense & some scary scenes, but also a lot of meaningless dialog & romancing by Scott & Kasey.
Not a bad snake at all, it's better than it's given credit for, but far from the greatest around.
Rating: Summary: Good Bad Film Review: This is not a movie for you if you are looking for Masterpiece theatre.If, however, you enjoy the Mystery Theatre 3000 kind of film, strap yourself in for this one. It is so ludicrous and utterly preposterous that it is entertaining in its own badness. Where else can you see Pat Morita portray an illustrious herpetologist who hunts 30 foot poisonous snakes with nothing more than a stick? Let me just say this...wait for the drop-kick. You'll be rolling on the floor
Rating: Summary: Seems great! Review: This video seems great from what I have heard. I likeed anaconda, and I thought it was scary, so this one must be even more scary. I'm a fan of horror videos, so please amazon, lower the price soon, so I can enjoy this video.
Rating: Summary: Funny predictible uber-horror Review: When I rented this film I really didn't expect much out of it, but surprise surprise, it didn't suck as much as I thought it would. Now I'm as big a fan of Pat Morita as the next guy, but his preformance as the only "big name" talent is really disapointing. He has a showdown with the snake. A THIRTY FOOT SNAKE!! vs. PAT MORITA. DOES THAT SEEM TO MAKE SENSE!!!?? But hey what do you expect. The film's acting was tolerable, some of the effects were ok, but for the most part a big rubbery looking snake with an awckwardly positioned neck, and the token *SHOCK* shots used to make the film "scarrier" make you jump a bit, but oly in releif that you don't have to b on the lookout. The ending was also a huge dissapointment. You never find ut what happens to some of the characters and it practicaly screams at you, "LOOK OUT FOR KING COBRA 2" ut what do you expect from straight to video horror. ^.^
