Did you know
- TriviaAll the venomous snakes featured were authentic and the cast actually did have to interact with them for filming. Only in the shot where Strother Martin grabs the king cobra's head during the show was a puppet snake used.
- GoofsThere's no way Kristina could have known the cobra was David.
- Quotes
[last lines]
Kristina Stoner: No! No! DAVID! No! No! Nooooo! DAAVIIIIID!

- Alternate versionsThe UK video version was cut by 27 secs by the BBFC to heavily edit a scene where a snake fights a mongoose.

Featured review
I have fond memories of watching this film as a kid. So often those movies you enjoyed as a kid turn out to be trash when you watch them as an adult, but this was a rare case of a movie that managed to hold up.
Sure it has it's faults, but nothing that can't be over looked. The plot is a bit silly, and the ending more so, but the way the movie is played you ignore the rampant over acting and outside of reality plot.
Plus, the film doesn't seem aged. So many films from the Seventies look so out of place looking at them in modern times, but this film managed to avoid all of the trappings that put it out of time. It holds up amazingly well for a thirty plus year old movie.
If you've seen this once and remember it fondly, i recommend a fresh look through grown up eyes.
