This film opens tomorrow and it has been a real internet hype story...way before anyone had seen it in the US it was voted the "best film title ever" on a film website
No idea if the film is any good, but Samuel L Jackson has said that he only signed up for the film on the basis of the title without reading the script.
As the hype grew a film magazine ran a competition entitled "blank on a blank" asking amateur film-Makers to come up with the least understandable "animal in a location" film title
the winners were
3rd Sloth on a Tank
2nd Eagles on a Chariot
1st Raccoons on a SpaceShuttle
Filiming of "snakes" ended at the end of 2005 and the studio ordered five days of reshoots. It also ran a competition for geeks of this film to put a line in the film
When you see the film and hear Jackson say "Enough of these motherf***ing motherf***ers on my plane"...well that was the winning line!
I like this type of film buff stuff!

I think they had to reshoot to put that line in.

kind of related, but I nearly crashed my car the other morning whilst listening to Christian O'Connell on virgin and his 'snake or fake' quiz with Samuel L Jackson - made me laugh so much. Anyone else hear it?

I heard about another competition, based on 'Snakes on a Plane', where people were asked to retitle other movies in the 'Snakes on the Plane' mould, i.e. making the title as plank-obvious as possible:
e.g. Raiders of the Lost Ark might be "Dude with the whip versus the Nazis" or something similar...
(I don't know who won)

"Sister Act 2 with a fat bloke"

I think it will safely fall into the category of films that are entertaining without actually being any good

Definitely, although I think you should settle out of court for a writing credit on the film - that way you'll have the glamour of being able to pick up the 'Best Original Screenplay' oscar next year.  |

The title is something made up by a Vogon guard (in the Hitchikers Guide to the galaxy) trying to be imaginative
