Anaconda 3: Offspring
Cancer-terminal tycoon Peter Murdoch's secret Wexel Hall Pharmaceuticals lab has developed a blood orchid extract cure. To examine why it works optimally in snakes, they also bread a super-anaconda strain. But the original pair escapes, leaving a bloody trail of human corpses. Murdoch runs, instructing his staff to clean up. They keep failing and being eaten like unsuspecting locals, some alive, even after enlisting ruthless big game hunter Hammett. The fast-growing pregnant monster sheds its skin, thus disabling the only tracking device they have.

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
A mercenary-for-hire accepts a mission from a billionaire to capture a dangerous snake that could possibly help cure a terminal illness. Anaconda and Anaconda 2 were of course no masterpiece of cinema either but they were a heck tone of fun especially the first one unfortunately this one however was beyond bad in alot of many ways. The Terrible cgi that make the previous 2 look like classics, the horrible perfomances from the untalented cast such as David Hasselhoff and the over the top kills make for a really and i mean really god awful flick. (0/10)
Forget the horrible second film in the series (ANACONDA 2: HUNT FOR THE BLOOD ORCHID) as ANACONDA III is a much better production and in much the same spirit as the ultra-cheesy original. Yes, this is a cheapo B-movie TV production, filled to the brim with cheesy CGI, bad acting and a script that goes around in circles for ages. But it's also a whole lot of fun.B-movie fans will be in their element with this action-packed storyline, which sees a pair of gigantic killer snakes on the loose, pursued by a pack of bounty hunters with material reward in mind. Half the film consists of David Hasslehoff and John Rhys-Davies trying to outdo each other in terms of scenery-chewing, and the rest consists of the fake-looking snakes ripping up the human cast members in increasingly gory ways.Yes, this is a film all about the kills, and they're satisfyingly bloody by genre standards, about the same as in my other cult favourite, AZTEC REX. Watching a series of poor actors getting munched on is an often hilarious experience, and it helps the film run along smoothly. ANACONDA III: OFFSPRING is certainly no classic, but I enjoyed the heck out of it.
I don't get it, why would anyone pay to see this? David Hasselhoff is by far washed up character and after "Baywatch" there is not much to expect from him. The thing that bugs me the most with all Anaconda sequels is that the snake is all together badly described. Why? Well anyone who watched at least one documentary episode about these animals, knows how these beasts behave, and aside of the third part where these animals are DNA tampered with, not one have a good excuse for that kind of behavior. Mainly the way they move, sound and look. And than...things go from bad to worse, dude gets pierced through his chest with the snakes tail and they try to do CPR on him. Shoot me for giving this movie a try, thank God for not paying for it.
I approached this movie with trepidation, even though I had seen both the first two movies I wasn't really sure what to expect, although the title gave me a clue. So I thought - what the hell! Plus it was a free rental, which kind of swung the deal for me. And it has the Hoff in it.. if only briefly. The plot is Python (Monty)-esque waffer thin, as is any sequence which involves any form of blood spilling - think "Black Knight-arm cut off" from Holy Grail and that's the realism you're dealing with, i.e not very. Add in a few squashed people, some decapitated people, a plot twist that you can see coming from, oh, the 2nd minute maybe. Don't be fooled by the "offspring" part - the only baby anaconda you see is right at the end, even then I think it's another snake playing a stunt anaconda. People have said that the Anaconda doesn't look like a real one, well I wouldn't know for sure what a real one looks like, I do know however that, much as cats only see in black & white, Anaconda-vision sees everything in orange. Much like viewing the movie through a Quality Street wrapper. Which may improve it.. Its a ho hum way to pass 85 minutes or so, nothing new or earth shattering and if you've seen either of the previous 2 you'll have an idea of what to expect. Mostly worth viewing to see one of the many ways to execute the Hoff... :)
