In the next snake scene, as the four characters are close to finishing their task of returning a stolen jewel, we are asked to believe that Hart accidentally tosses the jewel about 50 yards up a hill. (You need to suspend a lot of disbelief to accept anything in this movie.) Gillan runs and does a flying somersault to retrieve it, landing right in the middle of thousands of snakes just lying on the ground. (They're CGI and they look bad but they look a lot better than the CGI jaguars we see in the movie.) Gillan crouches down and carefully works her way through the snakes over to the jewel, picks it up, then stands up. As soon as the snakes see sexy Gillan in the skimpy Lara Croft-like outfit she has been forced to wear in the game, they become erect. (Remember, adolescent boys are the target audience for these games.) Actually, the snakes are controlled by the main villain in the movie who we hardly see at all, Van Pelt, the evil explorer who stole the jewel and has the power to control animals, who shows up here. He tells Gillan that it's "game over" but she uses a great snakebite-based strategy to get out of danger.

We learned earlier that each Avatar has powers and weaknesses. Gillan's powers are various types of martial arts and her weakness is venom. We also learned earlier that characters have three lives, and we have seen that, when they die, they immediately fall from the sky and return they were, but with one less life available. Gillan tells Van Pelt that her weakness is venom, then stomps on a snake with her boot and the snake bites her on her leg above the knee. This, of course, explains why she had to wear those tight shorts throughout the movie. She smirks, then explodes into a cloud of blood. She falls from the sky a moment later with the jewel but outside the reach of Van Pelt or the snakes. Why did she get to keep the jewel when she died and returned? Keep suspending that disbelief. It's just a video game, after all.
