View Full Version : Snakes On A Plane / Best Film of 2006
I don't care that it's only one week into the new year.

Interview with Samuel L. Jackson (http://www.collider.com/index.asp?cid=9&aid=599)
Beaks: Snakes on a Plane! That’s everything!
Jackson: You either want to see that, or you don’t.
Snakes on a Plane!

Did they get their ideas from a Saturday Night Live sketch? Because there was one about a snake on a plane. Granted, it was a crazy talking snake, but still... :p

hah. i remember when this was announced. spawned all sorts of funny pisstakes like this (http://home.comcast.net/~dfosket/snakes_800x600.jpg) and this (http://www.mcnblogs.com/mcindie/archives/images/Snakes%20on%20a%20platter.jpg) are just examples. You can even buy your snakes on a plane t-shirt (http://damnation-inc.com/order.php?item=1) or alternately (http://topatoco.com/snakes.htm)!:D (yes, TWO different designs).
Of course, its also possible that they might change their minds and go back to the other booooring titles:
Also Known As:
Flight 121 (USA) (working title)
Pacific Air 121 (USA) (working title)
Pacific Air Flight 121 (USA) (working title)
I like SNAKES! on a motherfuckin plane! im gonna go see this.
HEY SAMUEL! how does it go again (http://images15.fotki.com/v10/photos/3/39468/1753172/002_l-vi.jpg)?
There is no end to possible sequels.
Snakes on a Plane 2: Planes on a Snake
Snakes on a Plane 3: Sharks on a Plane
("Oh no! The cabin is flooded! And the sharks are loose!")
Snakes on a Plane 4: Harrison Ford on a Plane
Snakes on a Plane 5: Harrison Ford on a Plane Full of Endangered Baby Snowy Owls That is About to Crash
Snakes on a Plane 6: Snakes on a Bus That Has a Bomb on It So It Can't Go Less Than 55MPH or Else it Will Explode.

snakes on a plane. watch the trailer
http://www.tagworld.com/snakesonaplane
samuel l jackson and some other guy play FBI agents transporting a key witness in a big trial, but they dont know that an assassin has boarded the plane too, and he hopes to kill the informant by releasing hundreds of poisonous snakes on board.
SNAKES ON A PLANE
also starring KENAN THOMPSON
nickelodeon flav!
theres snakes EVERYWHERE. the oxygen masks, the food cart... there's even explosions! Samuel l Jackson uses a fucking taser
they were going to change the title then jackson told them they had better not, because thats the only reason he did this film.

time to bump this thread up...
excellent cover and article in this month's Total Film - plus neat little 'SOAP' poster...
"What else do you need to know? How the snakes got on the plane? What the snakes do once they're on the plane? Who put the snakes on the plane? Who is trying to get the snakes off the plane? This is not for you to ponder. There are snakes on a plane. End of Fucking Story." - Josh Friedman, Screenwriter.
Times to start SNAKES ON A PLANE countdown...
UK release: 18th August 2006
The hype on this has gotten ridiculous, so much so that the hype is now the main story, overshadowing the fact that there are actual snakes on an actual plane.
I just made a bet (I think an easy one) that this movie will be number one in the box office opening weekend. August 18th, same as the UK.

I've been quietly listening and watching as this film has morphed and matasticized into a gluttoness expanse of nothingness based on hype and purely that.
I gotta throw my opinion on the table and say I don't really give a shit and will see it, but don't see what all the monkey clapping is about.
When I heard about the premise many months ago, I kind of smirked. It seemed like a bad film that would be enjoyable with the increase of my Blood Alcohol level.
It seems that they've, the filmmakers along with it's finaciners, have bought into their own hype supperceeding their original intention of attempting to make just simply a b film horror film, and have now transcended/crossed that line into just being a BAD film, that I was always expecting it to be, nothing more, nothing less.

muthafuckin snakes on a muthafuckin plane!
I'm getting sick of these damn snakes!
we gotta get off the plane! there are snakes on it!
Go Here and watch this!!! (http://www.originalalamo.com/sites/2blanks/default.aspx)
it's gonna suck... august 19th will be a sad day at the water cooler... but you know, it's fun to have everybody so excited about something so ridiculous right now... I'm enjoying the good vibes immensely, even if pretty much everyone thinks it's gonna suck. the trailers look SO BAD... all those really poor CG snakes... just horrible... but you know... a friend of mine was talking the other day about this... it seems we don't really get theatrical exploitation-esque movies anymore. All the horror stuff is like remakes and sequels with WB stars... remember the 90s when we had stuff like Man's Best Friends, Ghost in the Machine, Wes Craven's Shocker... all horrible movies but also kinda fun. The way I see it, Snakes is sort of like that... and to tell you the truth I'd rather have a sucky Snakes on a muthafuckin PLANE than When a Stranger Calls.
...it's still gonna suck though. but it's SNAKES. on a PLANE. that's it!
It would be kind of cool if it became like, an audience participation sort-of-thing. You know, people go and get hammered and throw fake snakes and kangol hats.

"Yeah, those water cooler motherfuckers."
(Finishes reading post)
What is sad is that films that you mention are what this film aspires to be but what will happen when this film becomes a few years old. Will it still carry the same clout and heft of say a Dr. Giggles or Brainscan or (insert late 80s/90s film of your choice).
I think the closest we can come to theatrical-plotation film aside from MOTHERFUCKING SNAKES these days is something like the latest Harrison Ford trainwreck like Firewall, or, well, I don't know what else. I'm in total agreement though regarding old fashion shitty films made, just to get a few bucks out of people bored on a Friday or Saturday night, or even a Sunday night.
I just remembered another to add to the list, the epic Jean Claude Van Damme/Rob Schnider film Knock Off as part of a double feature with the Van Damme/Dennis Rodman film DOUBLE TAKE!!!!!
So yeah, it's gonna suck, some people will buy into SNAKES entirely. Kids will buy the shirts at Hot Topic! and wear them to school on the first day of class in September. And then the DVD will follow in October, perhaps by a limited Halloween rerelease. And hopefully that will be that.

come on you other guys... all movies are hyped... without the hype this movie would not even have been mentioned, its not gonna make the movie any better, and to be honest the fans have made the movie what it is...and we're not talking oscars, but its a simple stupid fun movie...
people are gonna cheer when Sam L says 'Motherfucking Snakes'.... and see stupid big snakes on a plane...

oh man... austinites are revelling in the hype.
In addition to the Blanks on a Blank parody short filmmaking challenge going on right now, live snake handling in the theater is also planned for opening weekend as well as Snakes on a Day, where one ticket lets you watch the movie for the entire first 24 hours that it's released, and also Snakes on a Plate, where you'll get to eat a different kind of snake at every show.
In addition, this theater is also programming drive-in favorites SNAKES and THE RATTLERS to play the same week... it's gonna be a snake-a-palooza down here in august!!!
I really love when they do that. Personally, Superman Returns wasn't bad but ABAR THE FIRST BLACK SUPERMAN was tons and tons and tons more fun to see...

my mistake.
thought i had been keeping up on this thread.
I saw a plane today pulling a banner advertising Snakes on a Plane. Which made me wonder, what if there were snakes on THAT plane?
I'm a bit disappointed because next weekend I'll be out of town for work in the boondocks of upper peninsula Michigan when SOAP comes out. And I know no one will want to go see this with me, especially since there is a small amount of money with a co-worker running on that fact this movie will be number one opening weekend. I've seen a few movies at a debut showing 12:00 AM Friday (things like LOTR, Star Wars) but as expected, the theaters were filled with dorks. I'd love to see this movie at a midnight showing, because I know the crowd would be awesome. And also probably drunk, which I think would be the best way to see this movie.

Campy, way over the top, there was even a public service announcement thrown in there.
Go see this. See it with the rowdiest crowd possile (I was at the showing next to the official premiere and the people were insane -- even came dressed up and had signs and props -- we were being recorded for TV purposes, also...weird). Enjoy what Sam Jackson has given us.

OUR REVIEW
by Dave White
Who's in It: Samuel L. Jackson, Julianna Margulies, Kenan Thompson, Bobby Cannavale, snakes The Basics: Do I even need to write this part? Because if I do, then you're my mom. So, hi, Mom. This movie's about snakes on a plane.
What's the Deal? It's the dumbest, awesomest movie ever, and I loved every minute of it. Seriously, do you want an actual review where I pull it apart and talk about what a disappointment it was and how it wasn't frightening or well-acted or written or whatever, and how it didn't live up to the unreasonable hype? Do you honestly believe that any of that stuff matters here? No, you don't. And now I'm going to spend the rest of this review reviewing the sold-out crowd of dumb, awesome people from last night's 10:15 p.m. screening at the Mann Chinese 6 Theatre in Hollywood …
Best Audience Costume: The three people who seemed to be aiming for a trio of identical Sam Jacksons from Pulp Fiction. No, I don't know why.
Audience's Most-Cheered Lines After the One You Already Know That Sam Jackson Shouts, the One that Contains Double Usage of Everyone's Favorite 12-Letter Bad Swear Word:
1. "Why, exactly, are there snakes on this plane?"
2. "There's only one guy who could arrange this many illegal snakes!"
Audience's Favorite Thing to Do Anytime There Was No Dialogue or Screaming: Hiss in unison. This was a surprisingly effective and not-very-annoying form of audience participation, really. I liked it way more than I've ever enjoyed those amateur comedian jerks who shout things out, thinking they're funny when they never are.
What We All Want: A sequel with more snakes, please.

dont even fucking QUALIFY that shit.
this ain't no "best dumb movie ever", this is, point plank, the best movie of the year. it was a tribute to all of it's predecessors without pointing out how smart its own tribute is, it was fucking hilarious, fucking intense, sometimes completly disgusting, but 5000% amazing. i'm willing to bet the "acting" was completly as intentioned and that the people behinnd the making of this film are fucking brilliant beyond appreciation. it's parody without the wink, without the acid, but with full on participation in all of its cliches and improbabilities, which were fucking ridiculous by the way.
goddamn did that movie deliver. it was better than anyone could have hoped for. i thought it was going to be pretty good, but it would up to us to elevate it. it did the impossible and fucking surpassed the hype it was given
i am NOT joking, this movie was the shit.

Isn't this movie really fun? Such a great surprise... I really could've sworn (and think I even posted on this same thread) that it was sure to suck. it did the opposite! it anti-sucked!
and you know... some suck can kill you in two minutes, some in two hours. Some suck you can cure with a good night's rest... but the thing is... if you get the wrong anti-suck... you WILL die.
this is not the wrong anti-suck! It's like air! Everyone benefits! Let's go get these people some air!

why i read this thread..?
Im depressed with that snake blog now..
I finally did see this film. I don't think I've ever been less disappointed with a movie. (Those words are chosen very carefully.) It lived up to expectations. It was an average thriller, with no suprises, but still incredibly fun. The added lines were obvious, but still hilarious. Remember when the snake bit that girl on the nipple? Or when the snake bit that guy in the dick? Great times. That about sums it up.

I recommend that everyone check out a truly bad film that was everything Snakes probably intended to be. The film is called Crank and it's truly a fun, bad ride with Jason Statham, Mr. Madonna's go to guy when making a film.

i'm with den. i loved it. didn't expect anything to high-brow from it, just enjoyed it fpr what it was. big, stupid, overblown, great fun. also, the best line in any film ever: "fucking snake; get off my dick"
I thought the line was, "Get off my fucking dick you dick!"
Anyways, Crank. Awesome. A whole movie about adrenalin. Starring the guy from The Transporter (1 and 2). That's the next movie to see.
I remember seeing previews for The Transporter and thinking it was the most awesomely ridiculous movie. By far, the best part, is when a rocket shoots in through a window, and he deflects it out another window with a silver tray. I was SO looking forwarded to seeing that one scene. I was very dissapointed to find out that it wasn't in movie and wasn't even in the deleted scenes on the dvd. Only in the preview. Which was on the dvd so I was able to watch it a few times in slow-motion.
I have great taste in movies, don't I?

So bad it's fun. Snakes on crack. The face of Samuel L Jackson near the end when the Orange tshirt guy gets in the controls it's worth the movie.
PLAYSTATION 2 OR XBOX?
I can't believe I've somehow seen this movie three times, and furthermore, that I still have something to say about it.
In the scene just after where that rapper pulls out the gun, the lights suddenly go out in the cabin. There's several overdubbed screams and things like "What the fuck!" and "Oh my God!", but very distinctly, you can hear one guy yell, "It's a snake!" This is after they've been attacked by snakes for last hour in the movie. I was nearly reduced to tears from laughter.

i dont know how the reviewers are still out to lunch on this one. i assumed everyone would want to say how this movie failed the internet and it was as bad as all the plebs thought it'd be, but i thought at least seeing it again on dvd would make more than just a few people realize how completely hilarious and amazing this movie is.
i'm still baffled.
