If your into B-Movies as much as I am, then this film is for you. True, the acting, CGI effects, and plot is a bit lower then normal standards (but hey, is a B-movie ever above standards). Just by the title "PYTHON", you know your into a cornfest. Best advice when seeing this, don't have high expectations.

If you ignore the fact that this is a B-movie, and set your acting and CGI standards lower then from something like "STAR WARS: REVENGE OF THE SITH" (actually...MUCH lower), then you may get a kick out of this flick.

Okay let me start by saying this movie does not take itself seriously. Whew! Too many times a film of this kind can't quite figure out what it wants to be. Not a problem here. It's all tounge and cheek . William Zabka(The bully from the Karate Kid and Just one of the Guys) Plays Deputy Greg, a Small town Deputy Sherrif Who just never left town to become that hotshot FBI agent. He's got bigger problems, seems a military flight carring a VERY LARGE and VERY HUNGARY Experimental Snake has gone down in the woods surrounding the small town of Ruby. The rest as they say is history. Robert England and Casper Van Dien also show up to hunt the Great and Hungary Beast The Dvd itself has some nice extras and a great 3D Menu. It looks and sounds great. If you liked Anaconda you'll like Python.

Whoever knocks this movie sure should have known what was coming.
Anything involving a snake is sure to be cheesey. All the actors
have proven that they could act in the past.(Yes, even Casper Van Dien.) The conclusion, That's what the movie was called for.
Oh, and for that Wes remarke, Learn to seperate the character from the actor. It's been over ten years, get over it. In closing
I repeat once more, THE ACTOR'S CAN REALLY ACT. In all cheesey movies, even the acting gets horribble. Even from the greatest of actors. I take back that all the actors have proven themselves. Jenny, get good.

THIS is a spoof on Python. TOTALLY FUNNY. The producers and director must have had one heck of a blast makiung this film. Nothing was taken seriously. I laughed my head off and the ending was totally hilarious. Loved the lesbian love scene too. COuld have been a little more explicit, that would have made it a lot more interesting!!!

Dont be quick to judge like the others that ripped this film. It was a great snake flick.

I saw this at my local video store and grabbed it without thinking twice. I got it for several reasons. One being that Wil Wheaton was in it and the other being i love my monster movies. This is exactly what one might expect. Atrocious acting by a somewhat talented and recognizable cast, TERRIBLE snake effects, but a satisfying amount of gore, and "leave you hanging" non-sex scenes. All in all, it was a load of fun and it was great for late-night viewing. I had a fun time with the over-the-top performances and seeing the results of the snake effects. There was very little nudity but be warned: Those expecting to see Jenny McCarthy in the buff will be sorely dissapointed. My only complaint was that one character i liked got killed and Keith Coogan, (Brad from adventures in Babysitting and Cheetah) who is billed in the opening credits, doesn't show up until the end for one speaking part and it is after the snake "problem" has been resolved. Great film for cheesy horror film buffs. I'm waiting for the seqaul myself.

Okay, I had just finished watching the awful dreck that was "Night of the Komodo", and decided I still needed more large reptile punishment...so I pop in "Python". "Night of the Komodo" had a no-name cast, lousy script, lousy special effects, and was a complete waste of time. The good news is "Python" had a couple B-level actors in the cast, and appears to have had some kind of budget...the bad news is, that it is as much a waste of time, and as hard to sit through as "Night of the Komodo" was. You may see Robert Englund's name on box, or hear about Jenny McCarthy's cameo and your interest might be piqued....squelch that interest right away, or you will be dooming yourself to a wasted evening of watching this film! The thing is..I love B movies, "Tremors" should have been nominated for an Academy Award it was so good. I am first in line whenever a new "Friday the 13th" or "Halloween" movie comes out. And I still think the original "Pumpkinhead" may be one of the most underrated movies of all time. Hell I even found something to love about Lou Diamond Phillips & "Bats". So I do know what I am talking about when it comes to B-movies. "Python" is just bad. I think the thing that killed this movie for me, was the half-hearted attempts at comic relief. If you are going to include comic relief make sure it's funny. The two dimwits working in the plating factory was just awful, then you had the goofy realtor trying to sell McCarthy a house.....just plain bad. To top it all off, you have Wil Wheaton sporting purple hair and body piercings? Having Wil Wheaton try to come off as a "bad boy" is like having Clint Howard pose as a male model..it just won't add up. Robert Englund must have been looking for a quick buck to appear in this, and he is completely wasted starring opposite the kid from Starship Troopers who sports a 70's porn-guy mustache that is very disturbing. I have wasted too much time on "Python" as it is, so I will wrap this review up by saying...please, please stay away from this thing!!

Why do movie companies waste their time and mine making movies this dumb? A snake with ears? Snakes can't hear sounds in the air. They have to have their head pressed against the ground to "hear," and this only allows them to pick up ground vibrations. The python in this movie hears the characters when they are running around. The story is dumb (the author obviously doesn't know as much as he thinks he does about snakes. They should have read a good snake book, like Fangs of the Serpent) and the acting is mediocre. I'm still not sure why the bad guy even brought the thing to the USA in the first place.

Hey c'mon this movie starts off with a plane crash and then two lesbians having an oral scene in a tent, so how bad can it be??Like most people here, the snake in this movie has little to no characteristics of a real snake. This snake hears, can't see you if you stay still (obvious Jurassic Park idea ripped off), and can move at unbelievable speed. But then you have to wonder why a snake can chase down a speeding pickup truck, but can be outrun when you're riding a bicycle.

Pretty interesting cast as well, you got Robert Englun (AKA Freddy Krueger as a mad doctor), the dude Johny from Starship Troopers, the bad kid from The Karate Kid, and the doctor's son from Star Trek TNG. So there are a lot of familiar faces in this flick.

It's got some good action in it, and I espescially like the scenes that are just too ridiculous. They sort of remade the Psycho shower scene here. Of course true art is filming a young nude woman in the shower as you see a giant snake's head shadow falling onto the shower curtain.

Campy? Yes. Waste of time? No. There are a lot worse movies out there than this. This may not have a regular rotation in your DVD player, but every once in awhile it's not that bad.

this movie is (junk) beyond explanation. anaconda is jaws compared to this. 129 foot python should be fighting and spitting acid at godzilla instead of helpless (....) the creators and writers did not think this through. i watched it twice for a laugh and sat through it picking out mistakes and just stupid (stuff) that shouldnt be in the movie. like every scene there is new dramatic music to match every terrible line. and also there is pathetic attemps at comedy. stay away- do urselves a favor

Python is an okay movie to watch. The snake effects are very good, but the movie lacked taste. And the sex scene in the begining is what knocked down two stars on my review. I think nudity is stupid and shouldn't be in movies. Anyway, this movie has some great CGI work, but like I said, it wasn't as good as anaconda.
