Sex and nudity in Anaconda
Contains a few mild suggestive references and innuendo, but no nudity or sexual situations. In an early scene, a character mentions her boyfriend is cheating on her ("banging the dental hygienist"). Another scene involves a teenager telling a girl to kiss him. These moments are brief and played for comedy.
Violence and gore in Anaconda
Frequent and intense action/creature violence is central to the film. There are numerous scenes of people being attacked, constricted, and swallowed by a giant snake. A regurgitated corpse is found, a snake is shredded by a boat propeller, and another is blown up in a fiery explosion. In one scene, a police officer is shot in the leg and then killed. Some blood and non-graphic gore are shown in the aftermath of attacks and explosions.
Language in Anaconda
Strong and frequent profanity is used throughout. According to user reports, the film contains over 50 uses of "shit," multiple uses of "damn," "hell," and "bitch," and two uses of the "f-word." Other milder curses are also present.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Anaconda
Substance use is mild and brief. There are scenes of characters drinking alcohol socially at a party and on their boat. The MPAA rating also notes "some drug use," which refers to a brief scene involving unspecified pills.
Mature themes in Anaconda
The film contains mature themes of intense peril, betrayal, and death. Characters are constantly hunted by a deadly predator and face life-or-death situations. A major theme is betrayal, as one character lies about their legal right to make the film and another is revealed to be a violent criminal who holds the group at gunpoint. One character is swallowed by the snake and later used as bait while presumed dead, which may be disturbing.
