![]() And since the orchid blooms at this time, somehow it releases some chemicals into the waters that cause the anaconda to grow to supersized creatures. ![]() Alas, the blood orchid is located right in the middle of the anaconda mating ground. They hire rugged adventurer Bill Johnson and his buddy Tran (who isn’t, as some people insist, Johnny’s gay boyfriend) to lead the way. Everything about the movie is predictable: a team from an university in America decides to look for a famed species of blood orchid in Borneo that can extend our longevity. Having said that, this movie serves its purpose well as an entertaining eat-them-all silly monster flick. That would be Kota Kinabalu, the capital city of the state of Sabah. And the town is called Kota Bharu when the real Kota Bharu is the capital city of Kelantan, a state in the Peninsular Malaysia and definitely not located in Borneo. The motley crew of people in this movie are supposed to be in Sabah? Call me skeptical but this movie looks like it’s filmed in Vietnam. There are anacondas in Borneo? Wow, I’ve lived in this region of Southeast-Asia nearly all my life and I have never heard of anacondas terrorizing the folks in Borneo. The sneaky people in Malaysia, however, add a “2” after “Anacondas” in the title, hoping that moviegoers will be led to believe that it is. Main cast: Johnny Messner (Bill Johnson), KaDee Strickland (Sam Rogers), Matthew Marsden (Dr Jack Byron), Nicholas Gonzalez (Ben Douglas), Eugene Byrd (Cole Burris), Karl Yune (Tran), and Salli Richardson-Whitfield (Gail Stern)įirstly, the unnecessarily verbosely-titled Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid is not related in any way to the 1997 movie Anaconda, although the feisty Latina character in this movie, Gail Stern, is a diva-like parody of Jennifer Lopez‘s real-life personality.
