I think this is the first movie to become a cult classic before it was even released. Samuel L. Jackson is a mother***** genius.

I like how the ubiquitous Samuel Jackson doesn't take himself too seriously to star in and promote this movie tongue-in-cheek. It's so downright stupid even he realizes but knows people will flock to it (at least the first two weekends) to make fun of it. I agree it has the makings of a cult classic already.

I can already tell this will have a HUGE cult following sorta like rocky horror. IMO to the point of where i think people will start bringing rubber snakes to the theaters and throwing them at the screen and throwing them around.

As I understand it, a person of some importance needs to go on a plane, and security measures are taken to ensure this person's safety. But they wouldn't count on someone using lots of poisonous snakes, thus is created the tension in the film. They were originally going to call it "Platypuses on a Plane!!!" but it just didn't seem catchy enough.



(Platypuses are mildly venomous.)

I was standing in line for soda with my wife at a movie a few weeks ago and saw the top half of that poster. I was like, I wonder what that movie is about, the one with the snakes on the plane. Then I said, it would be funny if they called that snakes on a plane. Later that night we found out it WAS called snakes on a plane and I just about fell over laughing :p

I'm definitely going to go see this at a Studio Movie Grill, so I can be 3 sheets to the wind and have a group of people with me to laugh with.

Snakes on a plane? what is this Anaconda meets Soul Plane?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!? a chinese (or whatever) mafia (or whatever) boss puts hundreds of snakes on a plane to kill a witness?!?!!? wouldn't it be easier and smaller to plant a bomb instead!?!?
and in the trailer jackson has a freakin spear gun... A SPEAR GUN!!!!!!!!! on a plane!!!!! WTF! and he shoots it while sitting on the floor, with the spear gun at his hip, and fires at a snake maybe 10 feet away and actually hits it!?

STUPID MOVIE, SAVE YOUR MONEY AND LAUGH AT THOSE WHO DO SEE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Daily Show interview with Sam L. Jackson is hilarious. The intro was great - "Snakes on the mother...king plane!" How the hell they ever cast him as Jedi Knight is unbelievable.

I am really exciting about the release of this groundbreaking movie, and I have been planning to see the midnight release of it for several months now. I even made a plane costume for it, with about a five foot wingspan and microcontroller-controlled flashing leds.
