Quotes:

Dr. Paul Armstrong:The jungle is every place for bitterness. It sows and reaps it like so much cane sugar. The jungle gets into your blood and builds tiny little houses of pain and you don't wanna be there when the rent's due because the anaconda, funny thing, they don't know how to read a lease.
[chuckles]
Dr. Paul Armstrong:Seems they've never learned! But the only thing longer than a croc's mouth is the time it takes to swallow you whole. So next time you talk to me about jungles and bitterness, next time you're trying to find your eyes with both hands, just keep that in mind... that is if you still have a mind.

Awesome Movie

Maybe its because I saw this one first, but this movie is amazing. Yes, the first one has better flow, but the dialog of this one is sooooo much better, especially Paul with his bitterness speech. Animala gets way more play, I love Dr. Ellemy Royne, because she really is a villain scientist, and not quite as pathetic as Rudolf Yaber, Betty is even sillier here, Jungle Brad is way more manly - As someone who has watched a ton and a half of MST3k, as well as some other really bad movies, this was awesome.

I agree we could have done with less of Chinfa, but I love the cantaloupe dance, and her interaction with Animala is worth putting up with the strains of the double negative. Although its the first time Grammar has been traded for goods, so I have to give a bow to the novelty of that.

And also, there is more skeleton. And if there is a third movie I want way way more skeleton, cause he's awesome sauce.

And yes, some people won't get it, because it's a genre film, and its just not some people's cup of tea. But I think people who don't get it should just admit they don't get it and not automatically blame the movie just cause its not their taste. Feel free to watch something you like better, and leave the cheesy fun to us.
