Python (2000 TV Movie)
4/10
Python
3 July 2007
Warning: Spoilers
The town of Ruby and it's surrounding country-side are terrorized by a giant python created by the typical secret government organization called Biogene which was released after a plane carrying it crash-lands. Dr. Anton Rudolph(Robert Englund, who gets all the theatrical dialogue), who had a part in creating this massive reptile through variations of serpents, informs Agent-in-charge Bart Parker(Casper Van Dien, far removed from "Starship Troopers" or "Sleepy Hollow")that it's practically unkillable and very fast with a nasty venomous acid-spit you wouldn't believe. Pro-biker John(Frayne Rosanoff)and deputy Greg(William Zabka, known for playing blonde haired bullying punks in the 80's such as in "Karate Kid" & "Back to School")who have angst over a chick named Kristin(Dana Barron, one of many variations of Griswald daughter Audrey in "National Lampoon's Vacation")must join forces to stop the python.

Could easily play on Sci-fi channel with it's low quality computer effects of the monstrous python. The python really is never convincing which makes the film play rather cheesy instead at all scary. The flick benefits from a cast of recognizable faces. Star Trek The Next Generation's Wil Wheaton plays a real-estate agent wannabe sporting a pink hair-do, Jenny McCarthy stops by to play a wealthy widow sexpot, Sean Whalen is a Barney Fife deputy, and Gary Grubbs(my favorite of the cast who I enjoyed every moment he was on-screen)as Sheriff Griffin Wade.
