Movie Connections:

Follows Python (2000) (TV)

Ever wondered what the scummiest, lamest, piece of cheap crap looked like?

This film is an awful and boneless piece of junk that does not even make up for the original failure, Python. In fact it includes all of from the faults from the first one plus a whole bunch of new ones! The plot is basic trash taken to a new level: the American army captures a uselessly large and unhappy python, but the plane which is transporting it crashes, as usual, and the safe(best word to describe it) containing the beast is taken by the Russian army who takes it to a military base and... opens it. You know the rest. This is Anaconda mixed with Alien, but without the quality. The actors are a pointless bunch of nondescript idiots who include a would-be murderer base-ball player(ludicrous) and a character from the previous episode, the useless and pathetic failed FBI agent. The snake is even more awful than in the first one because there are TWO of them. ARRGGGG! Two times sixty feet of awfulness! Things I learned from this movie: -Whopping enormous pythons are common in Russia. -Whopping ginormous pythons will fit easily into a tiny safe-like box. -Base-ball players can kill people with a ball.
