So flipping through the channels I noticed Sci-Fi was having a "Bad Movie Night" or something along those lines because ,movies like "SuperGator" and "Komodo Vs. Cobra" were being thrown in with a bunch of other movies. This is one of them. Set in the old west, this movie is about a cowboy riding to warn a town of an impending invasion of copperhead snakes. For those that know nothing of copperheads, please Wikipedia Copperhead and read the article. In short, it says they are docile unless attacked and their venom is only poisonous only if you are bitten by more than one at a time (but don't worry, there's plenty of that happening.
So after a made for Sci-Fi movie defies science, it of course takes place in a time were the most advanced thing was the Gatling Gun, which is in the movie. So anyway, old Wild West Bill (no fooling) final convinces the town of the deadly snakes after about 30 minutes of the movie involves no snakes, but a wild west shoot-out. Grand as it is, the snakes attack, en masse.
Well, not all of them are copperheads at least. In one scene, one of the harlots is clearly holding a python...But the unreasonable size of some of the snakes is revealed later. After much expected death and snake shootin', hat wearin', flame-throwin' man vs. snake action, hey finally blow up all of the snakes.
*SPOILER*
A giant snake eventually attacks the hapless survivors. Oh happy day when the Gatling Gun is turned into a harpoon gun to take down the big mama snake. A 40' copperhead is killed and the movie ends. There, if you haven't seen it, I just saved you 2 1/2 hours. CGI:Bad. Story: Terrible. Acting: Good, but only by one character, the bad guy, who dies halfway into the movie...shame...
