In 1997, Anaconda snapped its way into cinemas. The movie – a horror film about a human-eating snake – starred Jennifer Lopez and Ice Cube, and was a hit at the box office.

Anaconda developed a cult following and in turn spawned a series of sequels to further the story. But how many Anaconda movies are there?

In this post I am taking a look at the series, to provide details about the collection, along with a list of the films.
