Fun Facts

 * This is the film that started it all. Although it achieved only nominal popularity despite its all-star cast, Anaconda was the birth place of a cottage industry, which spawned a deluge of cheaply made direct-to-video films about giant man-eating reptiles. Many of these never-to-be classics were produced by The Asylum and aired on the Syfy Network as a "Syfy Original Picture".


 * "My Anaconda don't want none unless you got BUNS, hon!" That really doesn't have anything to do with the movie. I just felt like putting it here. That's a line from the Sir Mix-a-Lot song, "Baby Got Back". And yes, when he says "anaconda", he's actually referring to his pecker.
