Eventually, Cale is stung by a wasp, and an allergic reaction swells up his throat and leaves him unconscious.

The sequel has no real connection to the original film outside of seeing a group of characters - hunting for the mythical "Blood Orchid" flower in Borneo that is said to extend life - being hunted and eaten by giant snakes. While that movie received largely bad reviews, it has remained a b-movie favorite and was a surprisingly big hit. In 2004 he took the helm of Anacondas: The Hunt For The Blood Orchid, a sequel to the 1996 creature feature starring Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube and Owen Wilson.
Little has moved towards TV, directing episodes of Agents Of SHIELD or From Dusk Till Dawn. The name may not be familiar, but Little has some gems to his name, including Halloween 4: The Return Of Michael Myers, Brandan Lee's Rapid Fire, Marked For Death and Robert Englund's oddity The Phantom of the Opera. Little is one of the great, unsung journeyman directors of the horror and action genres. Anacondas: The Hunt For The Blood Orchid might not be great cinema, but it does feature the most nightmarish death in the series.
