Messner is the charismatic linchpin of the movie; he's eye-candy, he's heroic and he displays outright contempt for his passengers--so we relate to him the most.
The boat--christened the Bloody Mary--is helmed by gorgeously grizzled, muscular vet Bill Johnson (Johnny Messner).

The film is at its best when it gives in to such impulses: the loopier the dialogue, the better.
You, however, can well imagine, because the movie begins with a set of local hunters pursued by one of the snakes.

In truth, Anacondas isn't an all out bad movie at heart.
Rather, it's a poorly written, clichéd B-monster movie.
In the end, I can't help but recommend Anacondas .
Thankfully, upon second viewing, Anacondas fared a bit better.

With his over-the-top portrayal of a riverboat captainone which plays like a near caricature of Bogart's "African Queen" skipper and every stoic tough guy you've ever seen on-screenMessner beats out comic-relief goofus Eugene Bird for cardboard character honors in "Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid. ...

For a B-movie thriller, this one isn't half bad.....But perhaps it's not fair to judge the actors so harshly.....The fun with a film like this is betting on who gets it first, second, and so on.....Those clichéd performances aside, the rest of the acting is pretty decent.... ... Full Review

This movie has enough problems as it is, and the absolute retards behind this picture couldn't even get the title right...
You all should be ashamed of yourselves...
And if there is one good thing about this movie it has to be Johnny Messner.

One of the only bright spots of the ordeal is KaDee Strickland, the strong and moral female lead.
But, Im not going to liethere is a monkey that steals a good fifty percent of the scenes.

The film is at its best when it gives in to such impulses: the loopier the dialogue, the better.
Theres some odd cosmic poetry in the fact that Dwight Little, director of Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid , also directed Free Willy 2 .
