Visible crew/equipment: When Jennifer Lopez is in the cabin with Jon Voight and the snake breaks through the window, if you look closely, you can see the wire that is keeping the face up.
Anaconda (1997)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: Luis Llosa
Starring: Jon Voight, Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, Eric Stoltz
Factual error: All throughout the movie, the snake makes a screaming sound. Snakes don't make sounds like that.
Paul Serone: They strike, wrap around you. Hold you tighter than your true love. And you get the privilege, of hearing your bones break before the power of embrace causes your veins to explode.
Trivia: The original theatrical trailer for this movie includes the scene where Gary (Owen Wilson) is grabbed from behind by the snake and pulled backwards but the CGI snake hadn't been added in yet so you just see Gary falling backwards. This trailer is available on YouTube.
Question: Is there any truth that an anaconda will regurgitate its prey so it can keep feeding, or was it made up for the film?
Answer: A snake can regurgitate its food, but they do this mostly if they are in danger or stressed, not to go after another prey or swallow it again so it's easier to digest. The food is usually quite a weight on their body and takes long to digest, so the snake could regurgitate it to become mobile again if threatened.
