When Ice Cube and J-Lo are fighting the final battle on the boardwalk, Ice Cube hits the snake in the head with an ax a number of times. When the shot shifts to the snake falling, the ax is embedded in its head, but when the shot shifts back to Ice Cube he is still holding the ax. See more...

When the anaconda eats Jon Voight whole, there is a movement over the other side of the room, and it slides over at incredible speed. Snakes take hours to eat their prey (especially the size of a man) and weeks to digest. During this period, they can barely move at all. Also, after it spits him out (again, not possible), he winks. [Maybe it goes for regular sized anacondas but not giant huge anacondas that they have to take hours. Also it is possible to spit out their food. On Google theres a REAL video of an anaconda spitting out an entire baby hippo.]

When a tree falls on the boat the posse is forced to get to land and fight the snake in the water. However, when they return to the boat in haste, the huge tree is gone and they continue down the river. [The tree actually frees the boat from being stuck. After the first snake is killed, Ice Cube says, "The tree knocked us loose."]

Adult snakes, even the size of the one that appeared in Anaconda, can't eat more than one large meal at a time before going into a torpor that lasts for 3-6 months. After the snake ate the first person the rest of the cast would've been in no danger. Also, if the snake kept on eating people, one after another, in real life it would likely die, its digestive system couldn't handle the sheer amount of food. [It's not the same anaconda throughout the whole movie.]

When the anaconda lunges for someone from the top of the waterfall, it quickly shoots down, grabs them, and easily lifts them up. In reality, if an anaconda was stupid enough to attempt this stunt, it would have just fallen off. They are sluggish and out of place out of the water, and could never move like the whiplike creature portrayed in the movie. [The snake was halfway wrapped around the tree when he grabbed Westridge and the combined weight of both Westridge and the snake is what caused the tree to fall.]

When the anaconda is behind the boat she shoots at it about 5 times with a bolt-action rifle, and never reloads. [Not all bolt action rifles are single shots. Many have magazines that hold extra bullets and the sliding of the bolt feeds them into the chamber.]
