Python Island

This movie is sort of proof that the Chinese are capable of making really bad movies. First, it is dubbed, but the selection of voice actors leads one to wonder what there they thinking? Some of the scenes would have been perfectly at home in a Three Stooges movie. A father and son are fishing, and it is foggy and they get adrift and wind up on Cannibal Island. It has strange flowers, towering mushrooms, and, oh, a huge snake. A hooded python. The son get saved by a magic tree, and when they get back to their village, he has a baby golden python. The island is cursed with a superstition, so he has to let the snake go. Later, the son grows up to be a researcher, and the company he works for wants to go to Cannibal Island, as there are rumors of plants than can allow a person to live forever. The villager are totally opposed, until money is mentioned. And the company has provided security. Yes, guards armed with crossbows. In many ways it is very comical and some may enjoy it. It has a lot of lunacy. But it really is a terrible movie.
