Snakes on a plane - why...

[srebbe64]

...did Samuel L Jackson put his name to this?

I'm currently watching this movie for the first time (HBO in a hotel) and I can't believe the utter nonsense which Hollywood have created! I thought it couldn't possibly be as corny as the movie title indicates - how wrong was I.

Utter, utter c&@p!

Contrary to popular belief, Samuel L. Jackson's agent insisted that the title be changed, because Jackson "couldn't" work on a film with such a title. When Jackson heard about all of this he responded with the much cited comment, "We're totally changing that back. That's the only reason I took the job: I read the title."

So there

Its so crap I quite liked it, one of those films where you can turn your brain off have a beer and chill out. Its what it says on the tin "snakes on a plane" none of this poncy storyline rubbish.

When I first saw the trailer for this I was conviced it was a pxss take, I still can't believe that SLJ did this film, but then again look at the crap De Niro and Pacino are turning out these days................thats a hole new thread

Your watching that when there are " other" channels available

I heard he didnt actually even read the script. Loved it so much from the description that he just took it?

[Gold]

Brilliant film.


As long as you realise that it is firmly tongue in cheek.

[Spiritual_Beggar]

I believe a mate of his helped write or produce it or something...which is why he did the film.

[16v of fury]

in a similar vein i heard the only reason he took it is the line "I'm sick of these motherfking snakes on this motherfking plane!"

[groucho]

You wait until the sequel...Praying Mantises on a bus.

[Stu R]

I like it, it's meant to be cringeworthy and woeful, it's up there with 'Bad Taste' in the 'intended to be a B movie' and not taken seriously genre.

[srebbe64]

Well I've watched it and have come to the conclusion that it's a 'spoof'. If it isn't then god help us all!!!

That line was never in the film in its first cut ,it got put in by popular vote via the web site that went side by side with the making of the film !!!

You mean the one that actually wrote the script as it went along.
