Line 6:
There were three sequels which oddly enough [[Arc Welding|Arc Wielded]] itself across three movies:
 
* ''[[Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid]]'': Which had a company sending a team into the Borneo to find a flower that was supposedly the fountain of youth. Not surprisingly they have to contend with the numerous anacondas to get it.
 
* ''[[Anaconda 3: The Offspring]]'': In which one of the anacondas was captured and experimented on to find out its longevity. It escapes, breaks out its mate and goes on a rampage (made more deadly due to the fact that these anacondas have spear tails from the experiments...no we're not making that up) some mercenaries are sent to get it back. Notable for staring David Hassleholf.
 
* ''[[Anacondas: Trail of Blood]]'': Which continues where 3 left off. The offspring of the previous anaconda is found and used to help make the flower. The anaconda breaks out once again while the employer from the last movie sends more mercenaries after the scientist who took the anaconda for his own to get the fountain of youth serum. All the while a previous character from the last movie is looking to destroy it. Yeah its just as confusing and convoluted as it sounds. Oh the snake can regenerate in this one.
 
The latter two movies were direct-to-video, and all three sequels are considered worse than the original.
Line 52:
* [[With My Hands Tied]]: The crew should have tied Sarone's feet as well. [[Phelous|His old man legs are killer.]]
* [[Your Mom]]: Said by [[Ice Cube]] to the British guy.
 
{{tropelist|''Anacondas: The Hunt For The Blood Orchid'' (2004) provides examples of:}}
* [[Big Bad]]: {{spoiler|Jack is exposed as this by the end of the film}}.
* [[Black Dude Dies First]]: {{spoiler|Gloriously subverted when the [[The Complainer Is Always Wrong|whiny]], scared, "we never should have come here" black guy is one of the four people to survive to the end. And all of his complaints were actually valid (and typically considered valid by non [[Idiot Ball]] holders), if ignored}}.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: {{spoiler|The rock spider}}.
* [[Dulcinea Effect]]: When Gail gets attacked by a crocodile, rather than grabbing a rifle, Bill simply jumps into the water and starts wrestling the crocodile with a knife. Lampshaded.
{{quote|'''Sam:''' That is either the bravest or the stupidest thing I've ever seen.
'''Bill:''' It's a fine line. }}
* [[Everything's Better with Monkeys]]: Kong, Bill's pet monkey.
* {{spoiler|[[Evil Brit]]: Jack}}
* [[Just Think of the Potential]]: The search for the blood orchid flower, the chemicals of which could yield the attainment of biological immortality.
* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: {{spoiler|Jack gets bitten by his own paralizing spider, falling into the snake pit and getting eaten}}.
* [[MacGuffin]]: The blood orchid.
* [[Misplaced Wildlife]]: This movie has anacondas ''in Borneo.''
* [[Perma-Stubble]]: Bill.
* [[Super-Persistent Predator]]: Justified. The movie somewhat succesfully gets around the previous film's problem of having the snake pursue the heroes for so long to eat them by there being ''many'' snakes in the same area due to a mating season being in progress.
* [[Uncle Tomfoolery]]
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: {{spoiler|Jack ends up finding the possibility of human lifespan extension well worth sacrificing the lives of his colleagues}}.
