With the Paul Rudd and Jack Black-led Anaconda slithering into theaters just before the end of the 2025 movie schedule, I decided to go back and watch the original 1997 creature feature for the first time since I saw it at a friend’s house back in the fourth grade. This experience, which was a lot more fun than I would have ever imagined, was like a trip down memory lane and led me to rediscover so many of its absurd moments.
From what I’ve gathered from the critical response to Anaconda (the new version), it sounds like the meta reboot is going to have a decent amount of snake, err, Easter eggs throughout. Thinking about that, I really need the upcoming action movie to include a callback to one specific moment. Wink wink!
