Visible crew/equipment: When Jennifer Lopez is in the cabin with Jon Voight and the snake breaks through the window, if you look closely, you can see the wire that is keeping the face up.
Anaconda (1997)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: Luis Llosa
Starring: Jon Voight, Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, Eric Stoltz
Factual error: During the first battle with an Anaconda, the 55-gallon fuel drums lashed to the deck of the riverboat are swept over the side, where they sink to the bottom of the river. This plot device drives the rest of the movie, since the boat must make a dangerous detour through "Anaconda country." There is just one small problem with this: Fuel drums full of diesel fuel or gasoline float on water. The fuel in them makes them buoyant. It would have been a simple matter for someone to get a rope or a boathook and retrieve the fuel drums before they floated away.
Warren Westridge: Asshole in one.
Trivia: The original theatrical trailer for this movie includes the scene where Gary (Owen Wilson) is grabbed from behind by the snake and pulled backwards but the CGI snake hadn't been added in yet so you just see Gary falling backwards. This trailer is available on YouTube.

Answer: He played into his greed. Told him there can be a lot of money made if you capture an anaconda like that one.
