History YMMV / Python

* HilariousInHindsight: William Zabka, here playing a Sheriff's deputy, [[Film/TheKarateKid feuds with a dark-haired guy he knew from high school]] (who also happens to be a sports enthusiast) over a girl, before making up and joining forces against a bigger threat. All set in a clearly Californian town. It's strangely prophetic of ''Series/CobraKai'', where he plays much the same role as Johnny Lawrence.

* {{Moe}}: The cute way Theresa talks abut her childhood crush on Tommy and the amount of terror she displays while still showing some good ActionSurvivor skills make her surprisingly cute and endearing for a secondary character in a BMovie.

%%* TakeThatScrappy: Meta-example. Creator/WilWheaton, known primarily for playing [[CreatorsPet Wesley Crusher]] at that point, is one of the python's victims.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Creator/CasperVanDien was ordered to provide a Texas twang for his role as Agent Parker, and given little time to practice it. The result falls under this trope, and was not treated mercifully by most critics.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Agent Parker. Some fans dislike him for his accent, and for being stupid enough to draw a gun when staying absolutely still to avoid the python was necessary. Others appreciate him for putting his foot down with Rudolphs' antics, trying to kill the snake rather than take it alive and caring about the various casualties caused by the python.

** Many fans liked William Zabka as Greg for his roles charisma, CharacterDevelopment and defiance of expectations.
** Theresa has her fans for being a decent ActionSurvivor, getting some good lines and being one of the more developed characters.

* FirstInstallmentWins: Mix of genuinely likeable characters, amusing acting, and not overusing the [=CGI=] Python lend to this film being much more fondly remembered than most of the other giant snake films that came in its wake.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Greg's character was originally intended to be a lesbian, to add something more unique to Johns' feud with his girlfriend's ex.
** The script had a PairTheSpares subversion when Greg tries to kiss Theresa after the python is destroyed and gets slapped away.
** The Python was originally supposed to be sixty feet long and an actual laboratory creation.
** A cut line had the two goofy plant workers comment that the python smelled like chicken after it was killed.
