Unlike the MPAA we do not assign
one
inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE
and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest,
depending on quantity and context.
A huge snake attacks and kills a group of filmmakers. With
Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, Jon Voight and Eric Stoltz.
SEX/NUDITY 4 - A couple make-out and the man pulls the woman's shirt down
exposing the top of her breast, which he then caresses. Native people sport loincloths and
the women's bare breasts are shown. Several times we can vaguely see women's nipples
through nightshirts and tank tops. Kissing and sexual innuendo.
VIOLENCE/GORE 8 - Many scenes of the snake chasing people. The snake kills a
panther and leaves the panther's eyeball lying on the ground. A tracheotomy is done on a
man using a knife; there's some blood and later a man twists his finger in the tracheotomy
hole (some blood gushes out). As the snake eats a victim we see the inside of the snake
from the victim's perspective. The snake chews on a corpse's neck (some blood). A man puts
a pick through the snake's head (some blood).The snake spits up a dead monkey and a
slightly chewed-up man. The snake kills some people by breaking necks and crunching bones;
there's some blood (neck, eyes, mouth). The snake drags a victim through the water and
there is blood on his face. A monkey paw drips blood into a bucket. A couple of people are
strangled. The outline of a man's face is seen through the snake's belly after he's been
eaten. A snake bites a man's finger. Animals are shot and injured or killed, and one
catches on fire. A man is stabbed in the leg with a knife. A few fistfights and a couple
of slaps. A few corpses are seen. A couple of explosions.

PROFANITY 5 - One F-word, a profane hand gesture, a few anatomical
references, some mild obscenities and a few scatological references. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Snakes, the jungle, nature, discovery.
A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we
started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were
not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many
older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please
keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period.
While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are
limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process.
