FILM 1774: ANACONDA



FILM 1774: ANACONDA

TRIVIA: During the filming of one scene the controls for the animatronic Anaconda shorted out, causing it to completely lose control. Some of the footage is included in the movie.

The CGI for the Anacondas cost $100,000 a second. 

This film is listed among the 100 Most Enjoyably Bad Movies Ever Made in Golden Raspberry Award founder John Wilson's book The Official Razzie Movie Guide.

Strong language was dubbed with (for example, using 'freaking') in order to get a PG-13 rating. Not only do the ADR'd lines have a slightly different sound to the rest of the dialogue, but the actors' lips do not match the new dialogue when they speak.

Contains two allusions to Ice Cube's musical career. His first line of dialogue is "Today is a good day," referring to his 1992 hit "It Was A Good Day." There is a scene of him listening to Mack 10's song "Foe Life," which he co-wrote.

Anaconda was not filmed in the Dominican Republic. The majority of the river scenes were filmed on the Rio Negro, in the vicinity of Manaus, Brazil. The remainder were filmed at the Los Angeles Arboretum.
