History Characters / Anaconda

* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Serone, possibly lying, claims to be from Paraguay. Voight's accent, however, is from nearly every single country in North, Central, and South America, most frequently [[Film/Scarface1983 Tony Montana's Cuba]]. Of course, given the ways that Paraguay's heavily Guaraní-influenced Spanish dialect (Jopará) contrasts sharply with other forms of Latin American Spanish, Voight's portrayal may still come off as a case of AccidentallyCorrectWriting in marking him as a linguistic outlier despite its inauthenticity.

* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:The Anaconda suffers a SurprisinglySuddenDeath about an hour into the movie, when Terri shoots it twice in the head a it tries to attack the boat, at which point Serone becomes more menacing to the heroes and the existence of another anaconda is revealed.]]

* BigBadWannabe: As dangerous as Serone is, he’s still nothing compared to the snake. His plan to capture it is full of holes, and he ultimately gets himself killed.

* BigDamnHeroes: He tranquilize Serone as he is about to shoot Danny and Terri.

* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler: The Anaconda suffers a SurprisinglySuddenDeath about an hour into the movie, when Terri shoots it twice in the head a it tries to attack the boat, at which point Serone becomes more menacing to the heroes and the existence of another anaconda is revealed.]]

* DarkIsEvil: Dark-scaled, and more sinister than the other.

->'''Played By:''' Music/JenniferLopez

* Fanservice: Walks around with his shirt open exposing his chest and torso.

* WomenAreWiser: She Unsuccessfully urges her boyfriend Gary not to fall for Serone's promises.

* SuperPersistentPredator: Played a lot straighter than with the first. It spits out a body it just swallowed so that it can pursue someone else, whose trying to run away.

* ObviouslyEvil: From the very start, Serone comes across as intensely creepy. Only Terri, Westridge and Cale seem suspicious of him.

* NotSoDifferent: From the Anaconda; both are determined predators. Serone even squeezes a victim to death.

* HoneyTrap: Terri tries one of these on Sarone, as part of TheMutiny. He sees through it but Westridge and Danny still knock him out.

* BeardOfAwesome: Danny has Ice Cube's trademark light beard around his lower face and is capable of fighting both Sarone and the anaconda.
* CuttingTheKnot: When Sarone tries to take over and he and Gary propose capturing the snake, Danny says that he is just going to throw them both in the river if they keep talking like that. He is shut down by Sarone pulling a gun.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Even if Sarone ''did'' manage to capture the snake alive, it is unclear how he would get it back to civilization, convince the crew he had been terrorising to help him out, or even restrain it in the first place.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:Sarone effectively engineers his own death by trying to capture the anaconda. He sets two people up as bait (he only needed one, if that, since he already had a dead monkey that worked as bait earlier) and his great plan to capture the snake? A net.]]

* NotSoDifferent: From the Anaconda; both are determined predators. Sarone even squeezes a victim to death.
* ObviouslyEvil: From the very start, Sarone comes across as intensely creepy. Only Terri, Westridge and Cale seem suspicious of him.
* SinisterMinister: According to Sarone, he was a priest at one point. He even administers half-hearted last rites for someone who he gets killed.

* CriticalHesitationBlunder: She tries to kill Sarone but pauses, and cries a bit when he tells her not to look into the eyes of someone she wants to kill. [[spoiler:Then Sarone jumps up and locks his legs around her neck.]]

* WomenAreWiser: She Unsuccessfully urges her boyfriend Gary not to fall for Sarone's promises.

* DumbBlonde: A rare male version. The only crew member to put his trust on Sarone.
* {{Greed}}: One of the reasons he partners up with Sarone to kill the anaconda is the fame he would gain for doing so.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: When he decides to follow Sarone, before he realizes that Sarone has set the whole thing up. He is upfront and non-hostile in saying that he just thinks following Sarone will get them out alive, and maybe with a film of the capture in the process.
* TooDumbToLive: He thinks teaming up with the blatantly untrustworthy Sarone is a good idea, and wholeheartedly believes that he has the best interests of the documentary crew at heart.

* TheDogBitesBack: Sarone singles Westridge out as weak and submissive, and Westridge somewhat nervously tries to bite back by stammering that he is not Sarone's 'poodle'. [[spoiler:He gets a better moment later on when he knocks Sarone the fuck out with a golf club.]]

* AbortedArc: The reveal that he and Sarone are working together seems rather pointless, since he dies first without doing much, if anything to help Sarone besides picking him up.

* BigDamnHeroes: He tranquilize Sarone as he is about to shoot Danny and Terri.
* ConvenientComa: He spends a lot of the movie in a delirious state after being stung by a poisonous wasp Sarone put in his wetsuit.

* BigBadEnsemble: Along with Sarone and the second anaconda.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler: The Anaconda suffers a SurprisinglySuddenDeath about an hour into the movie, when Terri shoots it twice in the head a it tries to attack the boat, at which point Sarone becomes more menacing to the heroes and the existence of another anaconda is revealed.]]
* SuperPersistentPredator: Largely averted, actually. The anaconda does not actively hunt the characters, and it is Sarone's dogged insistence on hunting the anaconda that makes it so dangerous. After all, the characters blundered into its territory in the first place.

* DumbBlonde: A rare male version.
