Anacondas: The Hunt For The Blood Orchid is a 2004 horror film and the first sequel to Anaconda.A research team is assembled to go to the Indonesian island Borneo, which contains a rare flower only found in that one location on earth: the blood orchid. It is theorized to contain a chemical that can be used for biological immortality, but the orchid only blooms once every 7 years. They make a deal with a local boat owner and set out into the jungle mainland before they crash their boat off a waterfall. As they try to get back to civilization the area they're traveling through turns out to be crawling with dozens of gigantic anacondas: it's mating season. | |

Misplaced Wildlife | |
| Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid / int_17a45ff5 | comment |
Misplaced Wildlife: This movie has anacondas in Borneo and not one of the experts makes any attempt to point this out. Bill, in fact, treats this as if they're a naturally occurring species when it would have been more plausible to say they were smuggled into the country via illegal pet trading, got loose, and displaced the native python species as the top predator. . As made clear in the first movie, their home territory is the Amazon jungle and various swamps in Brazil, half a world away. There's also a South American howler monkey in the opening scene, despite it also featuring an Asian tiger. One wonders if the filmmakers changed the locale halfway through the production because they couldn't get a trained jaguar to shoot that scene. | |

Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: Jack ends up finding the possibility of human lifespan extension well worth sacrificing the lives of his colleagues...but this only ever comes up when he needs to convince others to side with him. When he doesn't, he only talks about the fame and money the discovery will bring, making it clear he's a Glory Hound. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: The stone spider is shown in one scene, where it's pointed out how strong its paralyzing toxin is, but they put it in a jar instead of squishing it. Jack take it as a potential source of anesthetic and later uses it against Gordon when he goes bad, and during the climax another rock spider later paralyzes him in turn. One camper who's been carrying a too-large backpack as it come in handy when a snake tries to grab him from behind and its mouth gets stuck on the pack. He's totally unhurt. | |

Glass Cannon | |
| Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid / int_2f253c94 | comment |
Glass Cannon: The anacondas are noticeably not as durable as they were in the last film. They can still easily kill anything that they manage to get in their coils, but whereas one of the anacondas from the first movie can take several axe blows to the head (after being set ablaze), the anacondas here are easily beheaded by a machete and their skulls are effortlessly pierced by a bowie knife. | |

Because the predatory anacondas in turn feed on those herbivores, they inadvertently consume the same chemicals, and since reptiles continue growing into adulthood... | |

| Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid / int_7a555627 | comment |
Honest Corporate Executive: Gail is quick to say that she's worked hard to get where she is and is skeptical about the supposed immortality bringing drugs in the first place, pointing out that they've yet to stand the test of human trials. Ultimately subverted (although not in a major way) with Gordon, he is a major pusher for continuing after the orchid but also indicates that any drugs from the orchid could/should be sold for affordable prices (if only because it will be in high enough demand to afford it). He's a bit of a Jerkass though and somewhat suggests selling any new anesthetic derived from the spider to the highest bidder rather than turn it back over to their company. | |

Death by Mocking | |

Death by Mocking: Played straight and subverted. The characters are wading through a river. Ben keeps humming the Jaws theme. A girl keeps telling him to stop (instead of just punching him in the face). He's one of the first victims. Subverted later when another character is taunting a freshly killed anaconda snake, only to be grabbed by another. Unlike the previous victim, the other characters manage to save him from death at the last minute. | |

And I Must Scream | |
| Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid / int_a8a04f6f | comment |
And I Must Scream: Such a fate is suffered by Gordon, only in this case, he gets bitten by a spider whose venom will paralyze him completely for two days, outside of breathing and retaining consciousness. He gets discovered but is obviously unable to communicate his situation and then gets swallowed alive by one of the snakes. Being digested alive soon becomes the least of his worries as the other characters then burn down the hut that the snake is in, presumably roasting it, and him, alive. | |

Eaten Alive | |
| Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid / int_abcb9af1 | comment |
Eaten Alive: Gordon's unfortunate fate, after he's paralyzed by Jack with the spider, and an anaconda happens upon him. For his own, Jack's implied to suffer a similar fate. Notably, anacondas don't do this in real life, as they've been observed to sense a prey's heartbeat when constricting, and don't actually consume it until they feel it stop. | |

Save the Villain | |
| Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid / int_ac560dc4 | comment |
Save the Villain: In spite of everything Jack has done up to that point, during the climax Bill extends a hand and tries to help him get out of the snake pit. Jack tries to reach for it, but can't move because of the paralyzing spider bite he received. | |

Super-Persistent Predator | |
| Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid / int_ad982e04 | comment |
Super-Persistent Predator: Played with. The jungle expert notes that there's no way a single anaconda, even a giant one, is going to pursue the others after already eating one of them. However, the film justifies the trope by explicitly featuring a large group of hungry snakes who are all in the same area because of a mating season and the humans simply cannot avoid running into them. The traveling male snakes are hyper-aggressive for the same reason. | |

Serpent of Immortality | |
| Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid / int_b08b0f0e | comment |
Serpent of Immortality: The main characters are seeking a flower, the Blood Orchid, which contains chemicals that can prolong life when eaten. However, the anacondas in the area have been feeding on animals which fed on the flower, and as reptiles don't stop growing, the jungle is now packed with very large, very old snakes that have gathered for the mating season. | |

Nothing Is Scarier | |
| Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid / int_cdfe12c3 | comment |
Nothing Is Scarier: Used often in the first half of the movie, where our view of the snakes are limited to either quick, unclear glimpses, or quick shots of coils underwater. We don't actually see a snake clearly until one attacks Ben. | |

Doomed Hurt Guy: Gordon gets bitten and paralyzed by a spider that Jack throws onto him to prevent him from calling off the expedition. Sam discovers him in time to alert the others but while they're busy confronting Jack about this instead of trying to get Gordon some help, an anaconda happens upon Gordon and devours him whole. Just for good measure, if he hadn't gotten those nasty blisters that forced him to rest his feet while the others were occupied, Jack wouldn't have been able to get him alone. | |

Jerkass | |
| Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid / int_eb8ec7c8 | comment |
Ultimately subverted (although not in a major way) with Gordon, he is a major pusher for continuing after the orchid but also indicates that any drugs from the orchid could/should be sold for affordable prices (if only because it will be in high enough demand to afford it). He's a bit of a Jerkass though and somewhat suggests selling any new anesthetic derived from the spider to the highest bidder rather than turn it back over to their company. | |

Snake Pit | |
| Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid / int_ec4bc520 | comment |
Snake Pit: Possibly the scariest version to date—a snake pit completely filled with giant anacondas, all huddled together in a giant mating ball. And the MacGuffin just so happens to be right above the pit, so the main characters have to crawl across a slippery tree trunk to get there. | |

Stronger with Age: The movie uses this to justify Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: the titular snakes are stated to keep growing for their entire life, thus ones that consume blood orchids — flowers that can prevent aging — can grow to be much bigger than normal. | |
