Trivia:
In March 2006 New Line Cinema, due to massive fan interest on the Internet, allowed for a 5 day re-shoot to film new scenes to take the movie from PG-13 to a R-rated film (originally the film wrapped principal photography in September 2005). Among these additions is the Samuel L. Jackson character's line, "I've had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane," a line that originated in an anticipatory Internet parody of the movie. more

It's actually good! If you like Lake Placid you'll love this., 17 August 2006
9/10
Author: adamvoorhees from United Kingdom

Lake Placid might be a little less out there with it's self awareness but it's the same kinda vain.

Funny, good deaths, quickly paced and apart from a bit of an anti climatic ending it's all good and boy do those snakes ever get in everywhere. There is some nice little gory bits, a bit of sex and some swearing but not that much actually and yes Sam does actually say "get these motherf**kin' snakes off this motherf**kin' plane" to a big old cheer from the audience.

If you're on board with the whole Snakes vibe as a movie you will not be let down. Everyone who I watched it with who was excited going into the movie come out just as happy. Sure it's over the top and a bit silly at the times but its SNAKES ON A PLANE!

Hey go and enjoy those Snakes!
