After the sorority girls who survive the first attack (while most of them are swimming) flee back to their cars, Tiffani and Jennifer realize that they left their keys back on the beach and can't drive anywhere before being surrounded by crocodiles.

Dangerous Key Fumble: A lost key variant occurs.

Continuity Nod: The giant anaconda was created from the Blood Orchid serum mentioned in the previous films.

At one point, Tiffani suggests using her as The Bait, and mockingly justifies this by saying "She was never going to get in anyway." The only good thing that happens to Jane is that she survives the movie.

Butt-Monkey: Sorority pledge Jane spends almost every moment she's onscreen being insulted by Tiffani, subjected to cruel hazing rituals, or exposed to danger.

Big Bad Ensemble: The two primary antagonists are the Anaconda and the Crocodiles as the title suggests (although there are multiple crocs, while there is a primary female Anaconda), however, we also have Alpha Bitch Tiffani and Sarah Murdoch, who is responsible for most of the events and wants to get her Anaconda back at all costs (even if it means putting the life of her henchmen at risk).

The cops do not take him up on his offer to share.

Autopsy Snack Time: The coroner eats his lunch while describing the mangled crocodile victim, and even uses a fried chicken wing to demonstrate how one of the victim's limbs was severed.

is a smarmy poacher who kills a deer out of season (and helps his son kill another), lies shamelessly when confronted by a Fish & Wildlife agent, and then sets out to poach yet another deer within hours of being ticketed for his last act of poaching.

The Large Association of Movie Blogs Recent GRAVE MATTER (Book Review) Titillating? Hardly – more like Lake Claw Score: The most shocking aspect of this so-called “Uncut Edition” is the abundance of horrendously crowbarred boob shots.

I know this type of OTT schlock-fest isn’t meant to be taken seriously, but Lake Placid vs Anaconda is so incompetent it routinely fails to entertain, eliciting embarrassed cringes instead of laughter and being wholly scare-free despite an abundance of the red stuff (again, not aided by the less-than-spooky summer sun). Additionally, there’s an awkward and often painful horror-comedy tonal pitch which only the man who will forever be known as Freddie Krueger nails successfully.

Budget constraints or not, there’s no excuse for the atrociously ropey CGI, which is often not aided by a persistence to shoot every scene in broad daylight. Sadly, everything. Ranging from bitchy to sociopathic, you won’t care a jot for the dumb, heartless characters who run around spouting lame (occasionally poorly dubbed) dire-logue (“You know tops are optional on my boat?”). Well, of course! What could possibly go wrong?! Their goal? To breed their caged collection with the scaly super-size snappers to eradicate a flaw in the cellular process.

Sharp shooting Sheriff Reba (Yancy Butler) and piratical walking wounded Jim Bickerman (Robert Englund) have somehow survived long enough to still be keeping Clear Lake, umm, clear of mutated crocs, while the elusive hunt for the Blood Orchid’s secrets of immortality have brought John Rhys-Davis’ daughter, Murdoch (Annabel Wright), from the Amazon to Maine with a caravan full of genetically engineered man-eating sliverers. And how the mighty have fallen… But for all its multitudinous shortcomings, I must give credit to Berkeley Anderson, Lake Placid vs Anaconda’s tireless screenwriter, for gamely going to the effort of continuing each long-running story arc. Produced by the Syfy channel (uh-oh!), this low budget crossover from last year marks the fifth instalment in each series. With father/daughter heavyweights Jon Voight and Angelina Jolie hunting for the legendary giant Anaconda in the theatrical rainforest of 1997 and Bill Pullman and Bridget Fonda battling the original 30-foot reptile in 1999’s Lake Placid, these two initially legitimate monster movie franchises have, with each successive (and cheaper) DTV sequel, fallen ever fouler of the modern trend for Roger Corman-esque Z-movies. In the late nineties they were two colossi of the creature feature sub-genre.
