Snakes in Movies   Lewis & Clark & George (1997)   Spoiler Alert ! Some of these pictures and descriptions may give away plot details that you might not want to know before watching the film.   This is a comedy crime thriller without much comedy or thrills. Rose McGowan is George, who is silent throughout almost the entire movie. She breaks into a zoo and steals a rare snake from China that is so deadly you die within 2 minutes after the venom gets into your bloodstream. She is supposed to sell the snake to a man, but runs off with it instead, so he chases after her. She carries the snake around in a gym bag with holes poked in it and feeds it dead bugs she scrapes off a bug zapper. She encounters two ex-convicts who are trying to get to Mexico to claim a gold mine, and teams up with them. Along the way we witness all sorts of car thefts and senseless killings, but it's the backseat lip-sync performance of "Where the Boys Are" that would put her in prison if I were the judge. The rare and deadly snake we see in the film is just an ordinary gophersnake painted green. The color is an interesting variation. Most films would just use a normal gophersnake and assume the audience doesn't know the difference. (They don't.) In one scene, when we see the snake biting someone, instead of the gophersnake we see a shot of a rattlesnake painted green, maybe because it looks more like what the audience expects a poisonous snake to look like, or more likely, they lost the gophersnake and couldn't find another one and had to replace it.
