    (Reposted from phelous's review of Anacondas)

    YAY MIKE J!

    And again, why aren't these Anaconda movies made by Corman? It would have more watchable that way.

    And oh wait, this movie also starts that British bloke from Coronation Street who also appears in RE Extinction and Transformers 2.

    Can you please stop appearing in crap Mr. Marsden?

    Oh and since this is Borneo, everyone has got to be Chinese, eventhough there's more Ibans, Malays, Dayaks, Melanaus and Kadazans combined than there are Chinese people. And in the year 2004, most of Borneo doesn't look like villages anymore, SO CAN YOU STOP SHOWING SOUTH EAST ASIA BEING FILLED WITH SHANTY TOWNS AND THIRD WORLD INFRASTRUCTURE?! Seriously, no villages in Malaysia and Indonesia(including Borneo states of Sabah & Sarawak and the Indonesian territory of Kalimantan) look like it came from a 1930's adventure film anymore. Also, not many natives in borneo are dark-skinned, unless if the British colonists brought them from the Amazon or something, which seems likely with Matt Marsden in this film.

    And there's no such place called "Mendranang". If it did, then it would have appeared in Google Search. You're just making up places movie instead of using ACTUAL Borneo rivers like Rajang or Kinabatangan.

    Oh, and here in Borneo the rivers have phone coverage installed thanks to Malaysian and Indonesian telco providers like Celcom and Airtel giving access to rural areas. So why is the bitch using a "walkie-talkie"-looking phone instead of a normal cellphone? Oh right, it's for cliche tension and to piss off South East Asia's developing infrastructure.

    And yes i have alot more to complain about the portrayal of Borneo in this movie since i am from Borneo myself.

    Not to mention the fact that both capuchin monkeys and the titular animals live in South America rather than Indonesia.

    Honestly, I'll bet this movie was originally written to take place in the Amazon like the first one, but someone decided to change the setting at some point without changing just about anything else...

    I was on a rush though. Which is why "Oh" was on the comment most of the time :P

    Jinkies, TWO reviews of Anacondas on TGWTG at the same time? It's like some kind of time parodox. o_O

    Nice review! Glad that your friend could come along too. :P

    i smell a rivalry/controversy brewing
  • DarkSaber

    It only becomes a "controversy" when the dumb as fuck fanboys start mouthing off (See the Nostalgia Critic/AVGN feud for the proof of that one). So far so good on that point though.

    Dude! What kind of snake was that?

    I currently have a thamnophis sirtalis (eastern garter).

    Also, anacondas are not indigenous to southeast Asia. They are strictly a South American snake.
  • Penrefe
    avatar
    I'm pretty sure it's a chequered garter, but I've been wrong before...

    Anyhoo, great review, MikeJ; I didn't even know there was a sequel to Anaconda, and that movie was pretty bad to begin with!
  • TragicGuineaPig
    avatar
    When it's crawling on his arm, it does look very much like a checkered garter. But when he holds it up to the camera, the pattern doesn't look at much like that of a garter. But it's hard to tell - I've tried freezing the frames, but that doesn't work so well.

    Are you perchance a garterphile?
  • Jael
    avatar
    You know a movie about giant anacondas is bad when the person watching the review of it is more freaked out by the tiny, real life snake that MikeJ holds in his hand than the big ass, murderous, CGI anadondas.

    But then again, I'm downright terrified of snakes.

    Technically, two reviews of the same product has happened in the past, most recently Sean and Bennett reviewing Halo Reach.

    This review of AnaconDASSSSS may have a real snake, but it doesn't have SURPRISED MONKEY SHOTS! =D XD

    Short, sweet, and to the point. Good review.

    Also, very curious snake. It might make a good mascot.

    I think Mike J may have intentionally gotten it wrong because he was so disinterested in the characters and so couldn't be arsed to get it right. I may well be wrong, but that's how it seemed to me.

    I gotta say, man, this is one of your best reviews yet. Great jokes, great editing, and the snake was a neat touch.

    o_O RUN AWAY!!! the monkey is much more scary or even Mike's snake would do better.

    Review that Phelous made from this same movie was better.

    Why are the natives of Borneo, in this movie, black? You know, the natives to that ASIAN country.

    speaking of audio editing my speakers were up to 90% and I still couldn't hear the movie clips, if you're gonna have ads on your videos they should be more professional
  • dennett316
    avatar
    Try 100% next time. =D Seriously though, I heard the clips just fine. Also, what ads? Get Firefox and use Adblock Plus....I've never seen an ad before any video on this site.

    Dammit! I want to be real!!! Maybe someday. I also want to have a snake with me on my review.

    You have to follow the Blue Fairy's advice and be good, Phelous. Only then can you be a real boy!

    Your little buddy there is adorable, Mike! Oh, and the snake is cute, too.

    By the way, the "I'm a bad man," "No, you're a black man!" joke was delightfully lame. :snicker:

    Looks like I won't be touching any of the sequels for awhile since you and Phelous had it covered. Still, you both were fun to watch.
  • Bell_panther
    I spent most of this review cooing over MikeJ's snake. ADORABLE.
  • frozencookie
    avatar
    You forgot the monkey, how could you?
    A~w, your snake is cute. What's his/her name?
    It was short but sweet and the main points were mentioned by both of you.
    I enjoyed both reviews equally.

    "This would have been great in 3D."

    Why do I have a bad feeling the third film is in 3D, if there is one.
