Giant White Snake?


I swear when i was young and watched this film there was a giant white snake that attacked the asbestos pot they were in before the lava blew them safely to the surface but in the dvd version i just brought there was no such scene......all it showed was the giant lizard

Has that scene with the white snake been deleted or did i just imagine it?

reply

you imagined it. there was never any scene involving a giant white snake. were you thinking of the giant chameleon-like lizard that was covered with lava?

reply

No i'm pretty sure it wasn't the chameleon lizard....My memory may have been distorted as a kid, i swear there was a giant white snake in the end of this movie, it looks like i was wrong
Thanks for replying though

I watched this movie as a kid almost twenty years ago, and was so excited to watch it again. Back then, it seemed to me that the expedition and their adventures lasted a little bit longer and I was pretty sure that there was a scene where they are escaping by climbing the ropes from some kind of savage tribe!

Still - I remembered Gertrude, giant lizards (not the snake though, sorry), Atlantis... Anyway - a very good movie.

P.S. In that scene with lava eruption, before they even light the fuse to break their way out, Alex (Boone) steps with his bare foot on top of fat skin with WHITE spots which could be assumed to be a giant snake, but later turns out to be a giant chameleon who turns red later.
Maybe that's what you saw as a kid. Or maybe you listened to Whitesnake while watching the movie ;)

I know what you're talking about. Maybe newer editions of the film have been edited, but I watched this religiously as a kid, and it always drove me crazy that there was a moment, just before the lizard got covered with lava, that it was white. I hope this is helpful

Maybe you remember it from a black and white TV set like we had.

Haha not to insinuate anything, but I grew up in the 90's and we did not have a b&w tv

Is it possible that you're thinking of the motion picture The Lair of the White Worm?

reply

No it definitely wasn't the Lair of the White Worm.....Oh well thanks for your reply though
