1 | * ActorSharedBackground: Flynn mentions being from Tennessee, which is also where Creator/SamuelLJackson grew up |
2 | * AwesomeDearBoy: Sam Jackson stated in interviews that he signed up just because of the title. He also threatened to quit when the producers wanted to rename it. |
3 | * CompletelyDifferentTitle: |
4 | ** Argentina: ''Terror on Board'' |
5 | ** Japan: ''Snake Flight'' |
6 | ** Russia: ''Serpentine Flight'' |
7 | ** Turkey: ''Killer Snakes'' |
8 | ** Venezuela: ''Terror in the Air'' |
9 | * FakeAmerican: The Australian Nathan Philips does an American accent to play Sean Jones. |
10 | * NotScreenedForCritics: [[Webcomic/PennyArcade It's not]] ''[[Webcomic/PennyArcade for]]'' [[Webcomic/PennyArcade them]]. The funny thing about this one is that the critical reaction was ''[[GoneHorriblyRight favorable]]''. As of March 2023, the film actually holds a 69% critic rating on Website/RottenTomatoes, but only 49% audience. The critic consensus was summed up as: "''Snakes on a Plane'' lives up to its title, featuring [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin snakes on a plane]]. It isn't perfect, but then again, it doesn't need to be." |
11 | * PermanentPlaceholder: The movie was going to be renamed ''Pacific Air Flight 121'' for its release, but then its B-movie working title attracted a flurry of attention on the internet, and Creator/SamuelLJackson insisted that he'd only signed on to the film ''because'' of its ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin title. The producers kept the working title to cash in on the online hype. |
12 | * ReferencedBy: |
13 | ** ''Literature/PrincessesOfThePizzaParlor'': In ''Cookies and Campers'', the "I have HAD IT with these motherfuckin' snakes on this motherfuckin' plane!" line is almost completed, but gets [[CurseCutShort cut short]] by HandGagging: |
14 | ---> "Snakes..." Claire said, in the tones of someone just dying to be the first to the pop culture quote. "Why does it always have to be snakes...?" |
15 | *** Louise almost beat her to it with "I've had it with these m--", only Shelby got her hand over the girl's mouth before she could finish. With her jerk of the thumb, the dark-haired girl pointed out that they had company. |
16 | ** The English-language localization of ''VideoGame/TraumaCenter: Second Opinion'' has an episode called "Caduceus on a Plane" (referencing the operation taking place mid-flight). |
17 | ** The Season 2 finale of ''{{Series/Weeds}}'' alludes to the movie's most iconic line when [[https://youtu.be/TUZtHdpCT8c Shane attacks modern society for failing its children in his elementary school graduation speech]]. |
18 | * TechnologyMarchesOn: When Mercedes suggests they e-mail the herpetologist photos of the snakes they've killed so he can identify them, everyone else assumes they need to find a digital camera and computer. She holds up her smartphone and tells them it has both, implying that she is the only one on board who has such a phone because she is rich. The scene where everyone has to be reminded that they can take digital photos of the snakes and send them to a snake expert can seem a bit jarring to younger fans. |
19 | * ThrowItIn: The famous "I have had it..." line originated in a parody made in anticipation of the movie's release. The filmmakers added it to the final cut right before the release. |
20 | * VindicatedByCable: It's not the kind of movie you should watch in a quiet theater. It's the type of movie you should watch at home with friends as you laugh and snark the hell out of it. The campiness of some of the [[{{Bowdlerization}} TV edits]] also helps boost the snark factor for some. |
21 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
22 | ** The initial script was 122 pages long but got narrowed down to 103 pages over a period of four months. |
23 | ** The first cut of the movie was going to be PG-13. But after fan interest on the internet, they did five days of re-shoots to add some R-rated content in. |
