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.

This movie had it all. Bad CGI, butts, guns that didn't make sense, inappropriately timed sex scenes, and criticism of Big Game hunting and the Military Industrial Complex. I don't think anything could have made this movie better, and not in the good way. If Breaking Benjamin had produced the sound track it might have squeaked out a 7.

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 ****

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.

Broddick is a businessman with serious resources and a reputation for illegal activity. He has been able to obtain a huge snake to kill it for fun and, probably, have some leather souvenirs made. Also, he isn't alone in this illegal and highly dangerous business. The snake is a product of some experiment gone wrong. Russia and CIA are mentioned. Because Broddick's adventure doesn't go as planned, the huge python is on the loose, and the government intervenes. They try to isolate the area and recruit two specialists to deal with the snake because, apparently, some accident won't let them just use the good old bullets or something. One scientist specializes in dolphins and has come up with some tracking device that can be safely attached to one. The other scientist specializes in snakes and has a huge experimental pet, a boa. The government officials want to unleash the boa with the tracking device attached and have one huge snake help them get the other.
The budget is a problem here, and the visual effects don't look good. And that, indeed, damages the movie, whoever is only looking for a Hollywood level motion picture where two huge snakes fight one another, should keep looking. The poster for "Boa vs. Python" is misleading, by the way.
There are things, however, that won't let the movie be plain bad, things that give it strength. The cinematography isn't bad, the music isn't bad. The plot, though flawed, isn't meaningless. The main characters and the acting are no problem. And the huge bad snake, though the monster of this damaged monster picture, isn't the villain. Two teams of players are what the movie focuses on the most. They are interestingly contrasted and it is nice to see a movie where the government isn't either villainous or dumb. Another nice touch is how the annoying journalist is annoying to the surrounding characters in the film, not necessarily to the audience watching the film, and how their "quest for the truth" isn't necessarily about getting to the truth and exposing some dirty secret, no, their popularity may be the only thing they're truly concerned with. And playing with fire isn't safe.

A relatively low budget cheap cgi looking monster snake horror film, nothing exactly new or memorable about this film was to be had. Generic and bland characters with typical by the numbers type action.
As a film it begins with a rubbish story seeing a giant python on the loose after escaping from captivity. The lead scientists decide to release an equally giant boa constrictor in order to battle the snake. Various people die in cheesy ways, and the monsters scrap a little with some terrible cgi effects. The film is just boring at times.
Yet the narrative is padded with dumb characters and humor.

Since becoming addicted to Stargate Atlantis last year, I've been on a mission to see more of David Hewlett's flicks. Let's just say I've been really disappointed. SciFi makes great original series, but their movies are downright awful. In this one, there's no real plot, the scenes are choppy, and the writing is bad. There are a few attempts to rip off Bruckheimer-style cinematography, and it's poorly done. Then the ending just stopped mid-scene as if they said "hey, filming for Atlantis started, let's just end the movie here." It's a shame too, David Hewlett is incredibly talented. He just keeps getting cast in these crummy movies. Thank God Atlantis is so good, it's the only reason I watch SciFi. Oh, and an FYI, don't even bother with David's other movie "Darklight", it's even worse.
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.

You have to understand with these kinds of movies (boa vs. python,frankenfish, sasquatch hunters, rottweiler, tower of blood), you are not going to like it. You are going to think it was soo bad it was hilarious. Most importantly you cannot take it seriously as a movie. You have to also watch it with friends so you can all yell and say how stupid something was, or call something that is about to happen. I have seen about 8 movies like this one and I did not like one, but I had an amusing time watching it. WARNING: If you are looking for a scary movie or an interesting suspenseful movie DO NOT WATCH THIS! If you are on the other hand seeing something with friends, and you cant find a good comedy watch one of these. If you pick this movie out because you thought it would be cool, you should have been eliminated from the gene pool years ago. My personal favorite out of these 5 is sasquatch hunters, it was beyond helpless.

I will start by saying, I was anticipating worse. Any low-budget film that has vs in the middle of its title, and I know from experience from watching the likes of Dinocroc vs Supergator, leaves me dubious. While not a good or great movie, there is something watchable about it. Visually, it actually doesn't look all that bad, the photography and editing are quite good, quite a remarkable feat seeing as I saw several low-budget movies in a row where they were problematic, and the effects, excepting the ridiculously over-sized python, while not great as such are a cut above the cheaply rendered ones I've seen recently. The locations are also quite striking. However, the script reeks of cheese and is incredibly amateurish, the story is illogical and sluggish complete with unconvincing action scenes and one underwhelming and tension-less battle between the snakes and the characters are stereotypical and made to do moronic things. The acting is also pretty poor, some of the actors are attractive but not much is done to go beyond that. In conclusion, a bad movie but not quite bad enough to be a terrible one. 4/10 Bethany Cox
