This should be number three on the inevitable “David Letterman’s Top Ten List of Proposed Titles for the Sequel.”
Has anyone else noticed how the marketing for this movie has changed since they found out that it’s become a huge internet meme?
It was supposed to be re-titled something more classy: Pacific Flight 121 or some whack-ass shit. But SLJ couldn’t have it like that. Oh, no. Snakes on a Plane.
Apparently, they shot extra footage long after the movie was originally filmed. The official explanation is that they wanted to up the rating to “R.” Come on, you know they just wanted to add some self-referential camp. This is a cult classic in the making.
New Line’s official site official site used to have the movie’s title written in a spooky, “serious thriller” kind of font. Now, “SNAKES ON A PLANE” is written out in a bright, cartoony, B-movie font. Just so you know…they’re in on it.
And lastly, there’s a music contest involved. Read the site text: “New Line Records welcomes all entries from contemplative acoustic to face burning metal or snake polka.”
I’ve said it before…I am so going to see this.

Shake:Krusty’s partially gelatinated non-dairy gum-based beverage::“Pacific Flight 121”:“Snakes on a Plane”
The scene I envision:
Denzel Washington (jumps to his feet and into the aisle): Com’on! This ain’t no bank robbery!
Samuel L Jackson: There are Got–damned snakes on the mutha-fuckin’ plane!
Samuel Jackson: Say “Ssssss” again! Say - “ssssss” - again! I dare you! I double-dare you motherfucker! Say “ssssss” one more goddamn time!
“You know what they got on planes in Pacific Air instead of stewardesses?”
“What?”
“Snakes”
“Goddamn.”
“I’ve seen 'em, man. They fucking drown you in them.”
Here’s an official trailer for the movie
Samuel L. Jackson (pulling gun and cockiing it): “Enough is enough. I’ve had it with these snakes!”
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again:
Oscar, Oscar, Oscar.
For Jackson or the snakes?
“And the winner for Best Actor is…Horatio Snake!”
wild applause
“Thhhankssssss, thhhankssss! I just want to thhhank my agent, the director, all the little people who worked on thissss film…My kidsss, My wife; baby, we’re going to DissssneyWorld!”
“Yes the snakes deserve to die, I hope the burn in hell!”
This will be the definitive film about Snakes on a Plane.
Until the sequel:
Snakes on a Plane 2:
Air Force One
“Why does it always have to be snakes?”
When I first heard the title I thought it was going to be an animated film, ala Madagascar. I figured the snakes were being transported from the wild to a zoo (or visa versa) when their pilot passes out from eating bad fish. So the snakes have some wacky adventures slithering out of their cages and to the cockpit in order to take over the plane and save their lives. Only when they finaly make it to the cockpit they have another setback when they realize THEY DON’T HAVE ARMS! AHHHHHHHH!
Hilarity ensues, eventually they figure it out and save the day. Followed by some sappy moral such as “Even when you don’t have arms you can still be handy”.
Snakes = good entertainment.
Plane = gripping thriller.
Snakes + plane = sheer brilliance!
I would so watch that.
I’m waiting for the third movie - the one on the space shuttle:
Snakes in Spaaaaaaace
Will. Send. Navigator. To. Investigate.
Must. Make. Him. Put. On. Red. Shirt. First.
Not to bump an old thread, but I had to add this little tidbit
they are calling Mr. Jackson back explicitly so “… he can actually say in the movie “snakes on a motherfucking plane.””
It doesn’t get any better than this.
I’m all aquiver with anticipation.
There’s a line of “giving the public what they want”. They just crossed it.
Hell fucking yeah.
I don’t know if I get IT or if I actually wanna see this movie, but I actually wanna see this movie.
