Quotes
Eli: Why don't we let the Bear at 'em, Junior?
Junior: Nah, Bear's done his work for the night, these two... they ran away from the bear.
[Soldier and Kid struggle]
Eli: What do you mean?
Junior: A few days...
[grabs Soldier's bonds]
Junior: and those bags'll sweat the water right outta their bodies! They'll die of thirst... then we'll cut 'em down, take them outta the bags... and drag them deep into the woods. They'll look like they ran away from the bear... got lost, and couldn't find no water. We'll leave a mark on them. It's BETTER than they deserve!

Top review

6/10

Lively, efficient, unpretentious

This movie's limitations in terms of acting, dialog, and plotting, are easily overcome by its consistent delivery of "entertainment value." What's more, leading man Lorenzo Lamas takes his shirt off in several scenes, baring his unshaved chest and thus significantly increasing the movie's "beefcake" factor. Curiously, there is no shot of his bare buttocks even though he strips in one scene and even though the female in this scene exposes her breasts. The only major fault in "Snake Eater" lies in its final catch-an-arsonist scene which needlessly extends the movie's running time by four or five minutes and causes it to end, disappointingly, on an anti-climactic note.
