After an overly ambitious businessman transports an 80-foot python to the United States, the beast escapes and starts to leave behind a trail of human victims. An FBI agent and a snake specialist come up with a plot to combat the creature by pitting it against a bioengineered, 70-foot boa constrictor. It's two great snakes that snake great together!

Simply A Masterpiece
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult 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.
I could say that this film isn't rubbish, but then I'd be a liar. Boa vs. Python is one of those 'Sci Fi Original' films that I usually avoid; but for some reason I decided to give this one a go, and it turned out to be a completely pointless endeavour. It's a sad state of affairs when it's been seventy one years since the release of the groundbreaking monster movie 'King Kong' and the special effects have actually got WORSE; but unfortunately that is the case here as this film features CGI that looks like it cost just a few pence to put together, and the result is completely condemning for the film as it is both impossible to take seriously and impossible to admire. If the filmmakers had spent time making real effects and the result was poor then you could at least have given them marks for trying; but when all they've done is just plant some CGI into the film, then there's just no way to respect the effort. Of course, you'd have to be a fool to go into this film expecting anything else, really.The plot is both thin and stupid and simply follows a great big python on the lose, and a pea brained Government plan to release a giant Boa (which just happens to exist) in order to track the giant python. There is some justification in that the Government uses other animals (e.g. sniffer dogs)...but clearly this 'plan' was put into place simply to get two big snakes in one stupid movie. The stupidity doesn't end there, however, as we are also 'treated' to a barrage of ridiculous characters and an even worse script that includes a boatload of painful one-liners. Despite having two big snakes in the film; director David Flores somehow manages to miss the opportunity to make things entertaining. There's a scene that sees a couple in a car come a cropper of the snake and a nightclub scene that went wrong somehow. This film will probably be a target for anyone that enjoys bad films; and I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone who doesn't. Even so...there are 'better' bad movies out than this one.
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 have seen a lot of bad movies, but this is ... pathetic.I don't understand how a person can make a movie like this! It's unbelievable!Bad acting, an ex play boy girl who tries to be the "good girl", but it doesn't work, the special effects are like a "gameboy", no gore, no comedy, no drama, no action... no movie!2.8 is too much for this "movie" This film tries to mix comedy, drama, action, horror... but nothing works!When I saw "Boa vs python" I appreciated a lot of bad movies that i've seen before.
