After an overly ambitious businessman transports an 80-foot python to the United States, the beast escapes and starts to leave behind a trail of human victims. An FBI agent and a snake specialist come up with a plot to combat the creature by pitting it against a bioengineered, 70-foot boa constrictor. It's two great snakes that snake great together!

Boa vs. Python Audience Reviews

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
GL84 After it gets lost in transition and escapes into the wild, an agent and a snake wrangler enlist a scientist's genetically-engineered snake to battle the indestructible snake loose in the wild before its owner tracks it down and kills it.This is one of the more cheesy yet entertaining creature-features around and manages to get a lot right. One of the many positives here is the film's high cheese factor that comes into play here, starting immediately and then continuing along throughout here. The idea of tying in the snake's release in a blazing fire-fight from its handlers with a wrestling match that plays off the two snakes out hunting in the rest of the film which starts this and gives it a great base for the later cheesy scenes in here that is based on a very clever premise about how the two snakes come into the storyline. Instead of having the two snakes being in a jungle and them fighting over territory, this one has the python being shipped in for a big game hunt only to have it escape and the government recruits a captive boa to track the snake. This is a pretty clever new idea and makes for a skew of new ideas all from the cheesiness of this one. This also leads into the fun fact that this one contains as much action as it does, with creepy and immensely cheesy series of battles out in the woods concerning the hunters trying to track down the giant beast but getting slaughtered pretty handily, a slew of rather intriguing one-off attacks as the snakes are let loose in the forest as well as the power-plant to a pretty chilling underground tunnel encounter that has a lot of creepiness as to when the creature will come out leading to the big battle in the equipment room and then down into the tunnels below-ground and a truly cheesy and exploitative sequence in a dance club that really could've only been pulled off in a movie like this one due to the rather dumb nature of what happens overall as well as the resulting chaos that erupts from the scene when it starts attacking the attendees and gets to really up the body count before it gets to the final showdown between the creatures. While the frequent nudity and cheese make it somewhat exciting, there's still a few problems to this one. One of the bigger problems here is that the film is mostly bloodless and doesn't have any really creative deaths for the victims and doesn't really have anything really stand-out for its kills. The film does have a pretty high body count, but all are killed in pretty dry situations as there is an almost total lack of gore in the movie. The goriest death is actually that of the losing snake, but beyond that this one feels quite dry most of the time. As well, the fact that the CGI for this one is quite atrocious and really terrible doesn't help it much with the really stand-out pixelation used in creating the snakes being quite obvious. These here are what hold this one back.Rated R: Graphic Language, Brief Nudity, and Graphic Violence.
Michael_Elliott Boa vs. Python (2004) ** (out of 4) An idiotic businessman has a group bring in an eight-foot python so that he can sell a hunting trip to a bunch of other idiots. Sure enough the creature breaks free and starts killing people. A government man brings in the help of a scientist who just happens to have been producing a large boa who they are going to use to track down the python. Sound stupid? Well, it is but thankfully the filmmakers knew that the story was silly and they never once try to take it too serious and instead they just add on the cheese and in the end we're left with a decent little flick that doesn't try to do anything more than charm. The movie also knows to play around with the viewer and it's clear the screenwriter knew that mostly guys would be watching this thing as they throw in a hot chic with a snake tattoo on her back and of course we get a slow motion bath scene where she's not only showing off her naked body but lathering it up as well. The story is incredibly stupid but that actually works for the film because you can't help but laugh and just go wherever it decides to take you. Naturally everything is going to end in an epic battle but before we get there we get other silly things including a sex scene between the snakes. Thankfully the majority of it is off camera. The characters are all rather interesting in a "B" movie kind of way. None of the performances are Oscar-worthy but they're at least good enough for this type of thing. I've already mentioned the hot girl but we get her nutty boyfriend, a couple hick hunters and of course a silly Rambo-wannabe. Before this film we did have both BOA and PYTHON but this film thankfully has nothing to do with them. The snakes here are obviously CGI but neither one looks overly bad. Well, let's just say they do look back but in a cartoonish way they look okay. I do think the film would have been better had the battle scenes been expanded just a tad bit because the 92-minute running time does drag in spots. With that said, if you're actually considering watching a movie called BOA VS. PYTHON then you should know what you're getting into.
insomniac_rod Geez... We can't say that it didn't try. "Boa V.S. Python" tried too hard to be a decent B-flick. It tried to rely most of it's fun factor on a monster, on cheesy dialogs, on not so bad f/x, and on cool soundtrack. Not to mention the visual attractive of sensual hot women with a sexy accent.Overall, it's not a bad movie because it has some good technical values to respect unlike many crappy B-flicks under the same tone. I had fun watching it after the first half of the movie. Sometimes it got dull and boring but it was just a premise before the B-Action started!Watch this one if you are hungry of B-flicks!!
archeostargate Okay, people, obviously you don't have any sense of humor ! This film is a PARODIES !! You're acting like people who go to see Scary Movie and compares it to a Kaurismaki film !! Oh, please, there is no filmmaker who do that kind of gag in a serious film, come on ! Maybe you don't think it's funny, OK, I understand that, but please don't take it on the first degree ! (I'm sorry, it's a french idiom, I don't know if it exists in English...) Anyways, even if it's hudge, even if you could take it as a teen movie, even if there is some bad jokes in it, and even if the visual effects are poor...this is a very distracting film.Another insane film for David Hewlett...I love this guy !
