Went to see Snakes on a Plane last night, it was a very enjoyable experenice. The film wasn’t actually any good, it was bad and it was meant to be bad! Snakes on a Plane must be the first film to get a cult status before it was even screen. If you went to see the film without knowing a little about the background to it, you wouldn’t find it funny!
Have look around on the internet if your going to see it, here is a selection of stuff from Wikipedia to get you started
At one point, the film’s working title was altered to Pacific Air Flight 121. In August 2005, a perturbed Samuel L. Jackson told an interviewer, “We’re totally changing that back. That’s the only reason I took the job: I read the motherfucking title.”[5] In another interview in early 2006, Jackson claimed that once he learned about the movie title being changed he said: “What are you doing here? It’s not Gone with the Wind. It’s not On the Waterfront. It’s Snakes on a Plane!”[6] On March 2, 2006, the studio reverted the title to Snakes on a Plane.
On June 3, 2006, Samuel L. Jackson said, while presenting the award for best movie at the MTV Movie Awards, “I’m here tonight to present the award everyone’s been waiting for: best movie. Now, this award holds a special place in my heart because next year I’ll be winning it for Snakes on a Plane. Now I know, I know that sounds cocky, but I don’t give a damn. I am guaranteeing that Snakes on a Plane will win best movie next year. Does not matter what else is coming out. The New James Bond… no snakes in that! Ocean’s 13… where my snakes at? Shrek the Third… green, but not a snake. No movie shall triumph over Snakes on a Plane. Unless I happen to feel like making a movie called Mo’ Motha-fuckin’ Snakes on Mo’ Motha-fuckin’ Planes.”
