I have no idea why Jon Voight attempted that ridiculous accent.  It's almost as bad as the one Nick Nolte used in LORENZO'S OIL.



Agreed. What the hell kind of accent was it supposed to be? Portuguese maybe? It had the rubber stamp clearly stating "this guy's affecting an accent." Horrible.
I don't always talk about bad movies, but when I do, I prefer badmovies.org

I spent 4 months working in Portugal and have been to Brazil numerous times (plus, my wife is from Brazil).  And Voight's accent is no kind of Portuguese I've ever heard.  It's just BAAAAAAAD.

I like ANACONDA for the simple fact that my kids were very young,and I took them to see this at the old Strand theater in Paw Paw Michigan. It brought back old memories of me as a kid watching crap like PSYCHIC KILLER, FROGS, HOMBODIES etc-at the same old ratty ass movie house I went to! We ate popcorn,Jujys,RC Cola, and the screamed and we hadda great time! I felt like I was 10 years old again!  That kinda fun is priceless.
