Trivia
(At around forty-four minutes) When the male flight attendant puts the snake in the microwave, he can be seen hitting the "snake" preset button on that microwave, a somewhat unusual preset for a microwave.

Goofs
(at around 1h 27 mins) Flynn tells the passengers to hold their breaths before he shoots the windows, thereby depressurizing the interior of the plane. In reality, if a person holds their breath during depressurization, a 'lung over-expansion injury' can occur. This is why scuba divers are taught "Never hold your breath".

Quotes
Neville Flynn: Enough is *enough*!
[the terrified passengers on the plane turn to Neville]
Neville Flynn: I have *had* it with these motherfucking *snakes* on this motherfucking *plane*! Everybody strap in!
[draws his handgun]
Neville Flynn: I'm about to open some fuckin' windows.

Crazy credits
Before the credits, there is a quick flash of a open-mouthed snake ready to bite the camera. During the credits, Cobra Starship's "Snakes on a Plane (Bring It!)" music video plays.

Alternate versions
The DVD contains some deleted scenes:
A scene where Mercedes talks to the newlywed couple in the airport.
The scene where Eddie Kim fights his opponent is prolonged.
A scene where you see all the passengers board the plane.
The dialog between Three Gs and Mercedes is prolonged.
More dialogs in the first meeting between Agent Flynn and Claire.
The attack on Mrs. Bova is prolonged.
A scene where Three Gs and Mercedes talk about a music video.
The newlywed woman complains that she never will have children.
A short scene between the newlyweds when they prepare to crash.
More dialog in the final scene between Flynn and Claire.

Amusing title, Everyday movie, Suspicious voting behaviour

What can I say? I'm a secret fan of 'over the top' action and horror films. Especially when it comes with a lot of lots of humour and innuendo, but I'm not a fan of Snake on a Plane.

There are three potential draws to this film: The comedy of the situation; The horror; and The novelty of hundreds of snakes being of a plane.

Firstly, this film isn't written as a tongue-in-cheek horror or a comedy, and there are only 1 or 2 points in the film where you'll smile to yourself. If you want to get the feel of the film, the trailer genuinely represents the movie, a horror.

Secondly, if you're expecting a film full of action and shocks, you won't be disappointed. It doesn't stand out above other movies, but it always keeps your attention.

Thirdly, Although the novelty of Snakes of a Plane doesn't wear off, but you'll leave the cinema thinking "what was all the fuss about".

I know this movie has a high rating, but it doesn't add up. A) Many of the reviews where written before the film was released and, B) The breakdown of user ratings has a lot less variation than normal 77% of people rating the movie 10/10, with only 7% of people giving it 9/10 - Why such an enormous gap?
