Contains all four instalments from the popular giant-reptile franchise ANACONDA


A big-budget B-movie thrill ride, ANACONDA stars Jon Voight as Sarone, a hardened, crusty river man riding the Amazon who is rescued by a film crew when the propeller on his boat malfunctions. The crew, led by director Terri Flores (Jennifer Lopez), hopes to make a documentary about the Amazon tribe known as The People of the Mist. She is joined by her cinematographer (Ice Cube) and a scientist (Eric Stoltz), among others. Unfortunately for all of them, a monstrous, 40-foot anaconda--which habitually swallows its prey whole--is on the rampage. The snake, which is a marvel of effects technology achieved through a seamless combination of animatronics and computer animation, helped make this one of the box office success stories of 1997.


ANACONDAS – THE HUNT FOR THE BLOOD ORCHID - Some greedy scientists discover the 'blood orchid' holds the secret to immortality, blooms once every seven years, and only grows deep in the jungles of giant python-infested Borneo. Quickly, an expedition is formed but it's the rainy season and the only boat they can charter is a leaky barge belonging to unshaven Captain Johnson (Johnny Mesner). The cute blonde in the expedition (KaDee Strickland) digs Johnson's stoic demeanour, while her scientist boss (Matthew Marsden) tries to win her through promises of untold riches once they find that orchid. Some of the other potential items on the snakes' menu: Johnson's burly co-pilot (Karl Yune), a handsome ship's doctor (Nicholas Gonzalez), a shrieking techie nerd (Cole Burris), Johnson's pet monkey, and two corporate money-grabbers (Morris Chestnut and Salli Richardson).


ANACONDAS 3 – THE OFFSRPING - Two giant snakes are undergoing testing in a covert research facility, conducted by brilliant scientist Amanda (Crystal Allen, MAID IN MANHATTAN). However, Murdoch the financier (John Rhys-Davies, THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy) pushes the experiment too far and the snakes escape, heading towards the nearest city. In addition, one of the snakes is pregnant. Hammett (David Hasselhoff, BAYWATCH) is a merciless soldier of fortune and snake slayer who is given the task of heading off the deadly snakes before they encounter the general public.


ANACONDA – TRAIL OF BLOOD - The fourth instalment from the adrenaline filled saga ANACONDA begins where the last chapter left off. A genetically modified baby anaconda is stolen from a lab minutes before it is destroyed by a bomb. The thief flees to Borneo and, on behalf of black-hearted industrialist Murdoch, carries out a series of experiments on the snake, in order to create a serum capable of regenerating its cells. The creature grows strong and voracious and breaks out of the cage where it is kept and escapes, not before having dismembered the ill-fated scientist. A reckless snake hunt ensues. Murdoch, who has an economic interest in recovering the animal to commercially exploit its new cell-regenerating qualities, sends his men in pursuit. His plans clash with those of Dr. Amanda Haze, a former employee of his, now devoted to the elimination of the monstrous man-eating snake she once helped create.
