“Python” is a truly dreadful giant snake monster. There seemed to be a bit of giant snake film craze after “Anaconda” as we got “King Cobra”, “Mega Snake”, “Boa” and this movie. This movie is just absolutely horrendous from beginning to end with bad special effects, a boring plot and atrocious performances.

In “Python”, a military plane is carrying a giant snake when it crashes. The giant snake is now on the loose and causing havoc everywhere it goes. This thing spits acid at people and it’s also pretty smart. The expertise of Dr. Anton Rudolph (Robert Englund “A Nightmare On Elm Street”) is called upon.

The acting in this movie is abysmal. We have Robert Englund in yet another schlocky horror movie. Casper Van Dien was the star in “Starship Troopers” only a few years earlier but here, he’s stuck with an awful script. Wil Wheaton from tv’s “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and William Zabka (“The Karate Kid”) are also in here. When Jenny McCarthy (“BASEketball”, “John Tucker Must Die”) gives the best performance in the whole movie, you know there is a real problem. The snake looks appalling. The C.G.I. is so poor here that the snake looks worse than the one in “Anaconda”. At least you barely saw the one in “Anaconda”, which helped to disguise its flaws. In this movie, you get a chance to see in detail just how awful the effects are.

“Python” is darn right pathetic from beginning to end. Nobody is entertaining in this movie. The characters are just awful. We get a pointless scene near the beginning with some nudity as two girls perform a sex act. Anybody that just wants to see some risqué content can turn the film off after that scene because that is as sexual as it gets. Even most of the bad filmmakers know to keep the bulk of the exploitative material until at least the middle of the movie.
