This movie is really, really bad. It features bad acting, bad CG, bad plot and other things you don't want to see in a movie.

The plot, as mentioned, is really awful. Some rich guy wants to have a big snake brought out in the woods so he and his rich buddies can kill it for fun. It breaks free and starts killing people. The good guys sends out another big snake to fight the bad snake.

OK, they didn't have a big budget so the CGI-snakes look bad, but could'nt they have written a better story?

The acting is terrible, the actors are completely worthless.

The action scenes are not exiting in any way.

Don't waste your time watching this movie, its not worth it. They even used the old trick "make girl show her jugs" to make the movie more interesting, and thats a good sign for a sucky movie.

Nice tits though.

The credits say it all...3 secs in and you know it's gonna be B-Grade-Orama!

There are a few things that must be in a film for it to be B-Grade and Boa VS Python has em all!!!!

1 ) Unnessesary nudity (cause low paid actors will do anything to get a gig). Not only do we get to see the naked chick bathe but she also rubs herself down with a sponge really really slowly!

2 ) The group of mis-matched characters that would never be seen together ever but somehow manage to end up stuck in impossible situations. In this movie we have a safari hunting team that more closely resembles the Village Ppl!

3 ) Sex Scene. Boy goes down on girl, snake eats boy, snake goes down on girl.......oh yeah!

4 ) Clichés. i like the dumb ass deputy tripping into the bloody corpse head-first in front of the over-dramatic FBI agent.

5 ) super cool special effects*

6 ) bad plot (wild snake free in city, so lets send a bred-in-captivity snake with a camera on its head to catch it)

7 ) worse script ("should i tag this as body #6?" "i think it's the rest of bodies 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5")

8 ) and even worse actors.

i loved it! b-grade value of 4/5

PS...get a load of the DVD cover (there is no chopper in the movie at all so don't get your hopes up with the chopper shooting two missiles at a couple of giant snakes in the middle of the city.....which is not where the movie is set)

*insert sarcasm

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!!

I'd like to think that someone got fired over this movie. The really amazing thing about Boa vs. Python is that it got made at all. Then, after it got made, it aired on the Sci-Fi Channel. Now, we all know that the Sci-Fi Channel is not exactly known for excellence in programming, but this is an all time low.

The fact that someone pitched Boa vs. Python as a concept, and someone else said, "Yeah! Great!" is just plain frightening. I almost can't blame the writer, the director, the actors, or the terrible CGFX team. They did what they had to do. The worst thing about Boa vs. Python is that it came into existence at all. 2 out of 10 stars. One for the python, one for the boa.

This movie is everything you would expect it to be: a complete and utter piece of crap. No resemblance except the special effects style with the previous film, BOA, which was a pretty good film. This has to do with a rich stud who arranges big game hunts for rich losers, only his big game – a giant reticulated python – gets lost in the wilds outside Philadelphia and the FBI decides to borrow some scientist's giant boa to capture it. The plot gets even sillier after that. The effects are cheesy – low budget CGI although the camera work and editing is very good. Characters are mindless and moronic – most of them created just for former playmates to show off their toots&assetts at the expense of a relevant or interesting storyline. That said, however, I must confess that crimson-haired co-star Angel Boris was intoxicatingly attractive in all of her scenes. But the storyline is the movie's biggest fault – there's no attempt to even be logical or literate, and even the suggestion that the movie is half comedy doesn't excuse the story's lapses in intelligence.

I rented this flick while in the mood for some pretty cheesy schlock to continue my search for the worst movie ever made (this is a personal quest because no three people can agree on what is the worst movie ever). This flick combines two CGI giant snakes that previously had their own pieces of celluloid, but it isn't a sequel to either franchise. Some schmucks decided that they wanted to hunt a giant python that turned out to be a renegade human killer (big surprise). It escaped and started hiding out in a water treatment plant (another big surprise). So the government gets a woman who is working with transplants that can transmit animal brain waves and a guy with a giant boa (Houston, we have a title). So they sent this boa after the python (great idea, put two blood thirsty giant snakes in a confined area together). Throw in some special forces, idiot hunters going after the snake and you've got a movie.

This was pretty crappy. Forget it unless you love the giant CGI snake thing.

My mate got me this DVD for my 22nd birthday today. We saw the preview on the internet and it has been legendary since. Now I've actually seen the film, I'm happy all the time. Seriously. My parents got me an awesome and fantastic and expensive watch, but when people go "So what did you get?" I'm going to scream "Boa VS Python!!!" at them, and staple them to the living room couch and force them to watch this film a la Clockwork Orange. Only then will humanity truly find peace. How can people not like this film? The dubbing is perfect, the script is unparallelled, and Adam Kendrick's portrayal of a British casino owner-cum-big game hunter is spot on. He even got the flame-thrower action just right! I know a lot of casino owners-cum-big game hunters who have seen this film, and they all say he got it. This whole film is like they took a documentary about a crappy worm and got Ice Cube to pimp it. "Pimp my Worm Documentary!" they cried. And they did. Ooh, one little thing...I was well expecting an angry black guy to be part of some kind of SWAT team...oh wait, they got him in there too. Top stuff.

Boa vs. Python is the kind of movie the term B-movie was invented for. Its title is absurdly evocative, low brow and basic. It's also obviously exploitative, cashing in on a trend for big snake movies and franchise crossovers. Made around the time of Freddy vs. Jason (2003) and Alien vs. Predator (2004) and Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004).

Bearing little connection to its predecessors, Boa (2001), Python (2000) and Python 2 (2002), Boa vs. Python is appropriately tongue-in-cheek and well made within its limitations. It's ambitious too, the casting, cinematography, editing and music imitate Michael Bay's blockbusters, but this is strictly in the tradition of the cheapest and simplest of monster movies.

Despite the presence of a nerdy good guy scientist and a macho playboy, the instigator of the carnage, this is classically sexist filmmaking. The duo of scaly stars may be the selling point but two female stars are just as important to the movie. Displaying their charms to keep things interesting until it's time for the chaos to begin.

Playboy playmate Jaime Bergman leads the cast in the role of intelligent but non-threatening blonde heroine, a marine biologist introduced wearing a bikini. While her opposite is a tattooed bad girl (Angel Boris). Both characters are lifted straight out of the James Bond formula and invite a good deal of attention from male onlookers both on screen and off.

Of particular note is an extended nude scene, in which the villain's girlfriend takes a bath, then performs a full-frontal dialogue scene (carefully shot to avoid being overtly sleazy). Perhaps it's appropriate that a film about phallic figures objectify women so blatantly.

Unfortunately the novelty of the sexy casting, flashy camera moves and militaristic score wears a little thin after a while. When the snake vs. snake set-pieces take centre stage things start to deflate just when they should be getting good. The computer generated "stars" are far too poorly rendered and too briefly seen, it becomes a touch tiresome and their all too brief final showdown leaves us disappointed. Although certain moments stand out, such as a risqué scene in which a young woman is orally pleasured by a giant snake.

With its cast of beautiful people, bikini-clad extras, an emphasis on style over substance and a rock soundtrack - this is modern American genre filmmaking at its most formulaic. But when judged against films such as it's own predecessors, Boa vs. Python is to a certain extent a triumph. Exceeding expectations if even for a short while. It's certainly better than either Snakes on a Plane (2006) or Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus (2009).

In yet another 'versus' movie, Hollywood chooses a match-up that is not unlike the others that we have seen in the cinema lately. This time it is between two species of the snake world, boas and pythons.

An enormous python escapes from a truck delivering it to be hunted and captured for money. After terrorizing the sewers of Philadelphia, the FBI enlists the aid of two fellow scientists to remedy the situation. One has been harboring an enormous boa for years, while the other one has beautiful 'implants'. Together they work to bring this slithering beast of evil down.

Little do they know they are not the only ones hot on the trail. A big game animal hunter named Roddick has recruited some of the best hunters in the world to bring this beast down. The battle royale begins as the lines between man vs. nature, man vs. machine, and man vs. man are blurred and new boundaries are set. Who will reign supreme? Find out this Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!!

Impressive graphics and an excellent balance between action and gore are what keep this film afloat. This straight to DVD release should have most people laughing, but oddly kept my attention until the very end. The story is flawed, the characters are unbelievable, and the script is amateurish (see constant remarks about 'implants' and Monica), but there is something to be said about using good CGI. This is no LOTR, but for a straight to DVD release I was impressed. Director David Flores has done an exceptional job of giving us exactly what we came looking for with this film. We wanted action, some nudity, and tons of snakes, and he successfully handed them to us on a silver platter. If you do not walk into this film with high expectations, you will probably leave impressed.

Grade: ** ½ out of ****

So sad to see a movie this bad. Bad cgi and worse acting combination. So please stop making snake movies enough already. And people don't wate your time with this one

probably the worst movie i have ever seen in my entire life. it was so bad that i couldn't stop watching, because i couldn't believe it could get worse (it did!). if ever there's an Oscar for the worst movie ever made, this is a definite nominee. a must see!

the story sucks, the acting sucks, the directing sucks, the camera-work sucks, the effects suck, the snakes suck, the action sucks, everything sucks.

it's absolutely unbelievable that someone, somewhere could actually regard this as some kind of art. it has about as much artistic merit as a dog turd drying in the sun.

This is such a terrible movie. Everything from the script, acting, common sense, and desperate attempts to attract male viewets by having the naked woman trample around for like 10 minutes.

The effects in this movie are so bad you can't even laugh at them. It's all very low budget CGI that looks like it was created by students in highschool.

Don't even get me started on the common sense factor. The writters have really lacked to implement any logical decision making into the characters/actors. This movie will make you want to roll your eyes numerous times. The stupidity is immense.

I literally can't say anything about the ending. The torture was too great watching this junk. I made it an hour in and surrendered.

This was a very terrible movie. It's even worse than those sharknado movies, and that's saying something.

Don't waste your time. 2/10

Saw this crap movie on the crappy Sci-Fi channel. The crap begins at 0.01seconds into the crap film and continues until the final crap frame. The crap producers would like you to believe that this crap is entertaining. It's not. It's crap. To summarize, Crap, with moments of crap, and then prolonged intervals of crap. Now because this comment does not contain enough lines to meet IMDb's specifications, I will ramble incoherently about the qualities of ducks.

Ducks are our friends. They are fun to watch and will eat any old scraps of bread you have lying around the house. Some people don't like ducks because they produce inordinate amounts of crap for their size. Well if you wanna see huge amounts of crap, watch Boa vs Python.

On a positive note, no ducks were harmed during the filming of this crap movie.

In his pursuit of living dangerously, a wealthy casino owner by the name of "Braddick" (Adam Kendrick) has managed to acquire an 80-foot python and plans to bring it into the United States so that he and a few other self-absorbed hunters can track it down and kill it. Unfortunately, an unexpected event occurs along the way which results in the python escaping its cage and getting loose close to a water treatment facility in Pennsylvania. Being somewhat hungry, it immediately feeds on a few of the workers there, which in turn gets the attention of the FBI. Not wanting to damage the precarious water supply of that particular region of the country, the FBI agent-in-charge, "Agent Sharpe" (Kirk B.R. Woller) contacts a local herpetologist by the name of "Dr. Emmett" (David Hewlett) along with a marine biologist named "Monica Bonds" (Jaime Bergman). It is then disclosed that Dr. Emmett has a 70-foot boa constrictor which he has scientifically bred in captivity while Ms. Bonds possesses a state-of-the-art surveillance apparatus that she has used on dolphins. The plan they come up with is to put the surveillance equipment on the boa constrictor and somehow lure it towards the python and hopefully kill it. What they don't count on is the presence of the big-game hunters. On that note, neither do the big-game hunters count on a 70-foot boa constrictor in addition to their intended target. In any case, rather than reveal any more I will just say that, even though I had hoped it would be worth viewing, I honestly didn't expect too much from this particular movie. For starters, neither "Python" nor "Python II" were really that good. Not bad necessarily--but not that good either. Likewise, the film featuring the first gigantic boa constrictor ("New Alcatraz") was even worse. That said, combining the two elements of these films didn't seem to be all that appealing. In retrospect, while I wouldn't say that this movie was a complete disaster, it still wasn't quite as good as it could have been either. The action scenes lacked zest and the general story seemed to plod along at a very slow pace as well. In short, if a person enjoyed any of the previous films in this hybrid series then it might be worth a watch. For what it's worth, I didn't see anything special or out-of-the-ordinary with this movie and I rate it as slightly below average.

Okay, obviously in a film about two giant snakes fighting the writers shouldn't take themselves seriously. However, UFO Films previously produced Python, which didn't take itself seriously yet the characters had interesting personalities and it seemed like the writers put much more effort into that one.

Boa vs Python seems more along the lines of producing another giant snake movie simply because they already had animation of snakes. Or something.

Sure enough the film has much zaniness like the reaction of an F.B.I. agent to a police officer falling on a corpse and a bizarre sex scene. However, the characters are forgettable.

The movie feels pretty slow too. When the snakes aren't killing people there's nothing interesting going on. Honestly, UFO Films can make much better movies than this.

To truly appreciate films like this, you just have to approach them at the right angle! The film is crap...yes. The CGI is laughable, the plot is none-existent and (aside from David Hewlett who makes the most of what he has) the acting is atrocious. But this film (along with other such gems as Charlies Angels: Full Throttle and...well...pretty much any film with Arnold Swachenegger or William Shatner in it), is just one of those SO EXCRUCIATINGLY AWFUL movies that go through the boundaries of crap into hysterically funny. I guarantee that if you watch this film with a few other guys or gals who are in the mood for it, you will find it as funny as I did.

How can any film with these lines be bad?: "That snake is big. Big is good.", "God I hate you son." and "Guys like that, they get what they want. their own casinos, a hot biscuit like her, and now he's getting the first shot at killing our snake. F**ck that!" I rest my case.

Parallel montage uniting the opening wrestling match and the apparition of the Python. The brawl in the ring intercut with the confrontation between henchmen and the killer beast. The versus monster movie seen as an overwhelming spectacle, closer to professional wrestling with all its anarchic energy, a radical spectacle of extreme and earthly pleasures.

We see a woman taking her clothes off and taking a bath, the lusting shot changes to a POV shot of an unknown menace stalking her, it turns out to be a small pet snake of a rich billionaire boyfriend. It should be noted the talent of these filmmakers, who manifested these low impulses out of nowhere and still made them fit into the structure of the movie seamlessly, with complete cohesion in tone, it would actually be distracting if it had an explanation.

Extremely schematized and aggressively impudent. Bombastic accumulation of pseudo-scientific and military deliriums of DTV creature features from it´s era. American excess and it´s absurdity pushed into a perfect parody. That's the heart of the gonzo cgi gringo monster movie, it reached an unprecedented height with Mega Shark vs Kolossus (2015, Christopher Ray) and hasn't been as good since, well maybe Ray´s father came close with Supershark (2011).

Modern monster movies need the ironic distancing from the most pure incarnations of the genre, from Honda to Corman. You need transparency and shamelessness, only then can the images flow and flourish. Do you imagine Michael Dougherty or Adam Wingard reconfiguring the genre to express their view of it? How could they? They don't have a view or ideas. Long gone is the mask of vulgarity that hides brilliance, there´s only attempts at "elevating" what shines better on the lower depths. That's why Jaws could never be as good as it´s rip offs.

What an incredibly bad movie. I won't rehash what recent commentators have said about the plot holes, but they are correct. The acting was quite spotty as well. The filmmakers obviously knew how bad this was, so at a lot of times they moved the controls toward camp. However, they weren't confident enough to make a truly campy film, which is not easy. Thus it is left with just execrable badness. The snakes looked really, really fake, too. They did not behave like snakes, either, but then, if they did, there would not be all that much to make a movie out of. This is an obvious aping of "Anaconda" which had its own problems. The absolutely only thing this film has going for it are Angel Boris' buns and boobies. If you're not looking for that, then run away screaming from this film.
