After a decent first film all the rest of the lake placid sequels were mediorce excluding part 3 which was gory and had a lot of croc action but yet again below average. surprisingly the 5th entry in the series was the best after the first film. even better than part 3.
sure it has it's flaws and laughs here and there and the same lake placid formula BUT somehow this time they managed to create a film which is not a bore like the previous sequels.
Maybe the involvement of the Anaconda snake contributed to the final result and to clear things this is not a crossover between the two franchises.
this is purely a lake placid sequel which just happened to involve an anaconda snake. nothing to do with the four previous anaconda films.
Also known as lake placid part 5 the film is also worth by the return of the well known "freddy" who survived in the previous part 4 entry as the mad preacher this time looking like an one eye......pirate of shorts....he he....
in my book u should own the first three films plus this one and ignore parts 4 and 6 which were the worst in the series.
