:: 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.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The cover showing two snakes wrapped around a plane looks like the double-snake Caduceus medical symbol.

* 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]]''. The film actually holds a 68% critic rating on Website/RottenTomatoes, but only 50% 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."

* ThrowItIn: The famous "I have had it..." line originated in a parody made in anticipation of the movie's release. The filmmakers added it into the final cut right before the release.

** The initial script was 122 pages long, but got narrowed down to 103 pages over a period of four months.

* 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.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The ability to take photos with a cell phone, and send them automatically to someone else was somewhat new at the time - and Mercedes is one of the few who can because she's implied to be a rich ValleyGirl. So, 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.
