Talk:Snakes on a Plane

message: I added a lot of information that was left out of the previous version, although I did leave parts of it intact. I have an audio recording of the ending on my MP3 player (don't ask >_>) so it should be pretty accurate. If you feel like the whole thing should be more of a quick summary then just change it back. The only thing I'm really unsure of is the last paragraph - I felt the "first words" thing needed to be mentioned somehow, but I don't think I put it in too well... just change it to how you think it would work best.

thread_title:  I just did a fix-up of the ending. 

message: The film Epic Movie, to be released in 2007, will parody Snakes on a Plane in a portion of its movie. I believe that this should be included somewhere, especially since it appears that it will be one of the better parodies and also since it's included in a feature film. However, I don't know what section to put it in, so please feel free to add info about it where appropriate. View the article to see the trailer on MySpace to see the parody.--Nehrams2020 05:18, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: First off, that movie could not look worse. I have no doubt that it will be terrible. With that said, it deserves a mention in the article, just as any other "notable" parody would. -- Kicking222 03:54, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  WOOPS!!! 

message: Covers the topic exhaustively and I see no significant POV problems. Minor issues stand in the way of GA status. The lead and Internet sections could use some cleanup and the overall tone of the Internet section could be improved. The list of viral videos and the Trivia section should definitely be removed, with only the most notable information being incorporated into the article. Noclip 04:02, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Should all of the viral videos be removed, or can some of the most notable ones go in the external links? Does anyone know of a website that has a link to all of these videos? I'm starting to work on removing the trivia section by converting most of it over into a "references and parodies in popular culture" section. Also to describe some of the snake facts within the trivia section, should that be in the cast section with something like "of the 450 snakes used in the film, a xx snake, xx snake was used  (although its nonpoisonous replacement called the xx snake was used), and xx snakes were used." Or instead of the cast section should there be a section devoted fully to the snakes, especially since they were a large part of the movie. Please leave some feedback so we can get this moving forward. --Nehrams2020 19:00, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm inclined to say that all the viral videos should be left out. A short blurb about the viral videos in general seems like it would be more appropriate. The inclusion of snake facts should be limited to those that are both notable and genuinely interesting to a reader who hasn't seen the film. To clarify my comment about the lead, it should serve to summarize the article's main points. The comment about re-shooting may be more appropriate in the History section. - Noclip 22:00, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

text: In my sandbox I reworked the article, moving most of the trivia section into a "parodies and references in popular culture section", leaving only three points in trivia. I moved the snake information up under the cast, and somewhat reworked the intro. I also removed the viral videos as well. Look this over and see if there are any other improvements that need to be made, and once that's done, I'll transfer it over to here. --Nehrams2020 00:54, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Looking over the reworked version, the main issues have been resolved. While it would pass in this form, my personal recommendation is to get rid of the first two trivia facts completely and to work the third one into the History section. Noclip 02:48, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

text: I transfered over the cleaned-up section to the article. You're really lucky to get the early release date, do you know why they went with releasing in Australia first? --Nehrams2020 19:01, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: New Line gets different companies to distribute their films overseas. I think Village Roadshow does it for us. I'm not sure whether it's New Line's choice or Village's choice to release it earlier here, though, but I think the fact that the distributor is different plays a part in it. --Norar 04:15, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Alright, the DVD is mine now. I'll probably start cleaning up the Synopsis section in the next few days. --Norar 08:57, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Just so you know, I did make a start on it ages ago but I've been putting it off since then. I'll have to get around to it some time. Sorry. --Norar 05:51, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

message: It's confusing following the name "Snakes on a Plane".  The article states that "Jackson told an interviewer, "We're totally changing that back. That's the only reason I took the job: I read the title."" but it doesn't mention before that line how the name first became Snakes on a Plane then changed (so that Jackson required it set back to Snakes..) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.140.143.174 (talk) 06:14, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Grindhouse is being marketed as campy exploitation on purpose, and has generated good buzz.  On the other hand, Snakes on a Plane was marketed as a serious action-adventure, and turned out to match the basic requirements of a blaxploitation flick:  badass black dude fighting snakes on an out-of-control airplane.  --205.201.141.146 16:08, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If you can find information from a reliable source stating the above, then we can include it in the article.

Any book, newspaper or magazine article, or credible website can be used for a source. --Nehrams2020 17:56, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

text: I do not believe it was blaxploitation, for the simple fact that it was Samuel L. Jackson. And most people that caught onto the whole fad when the movie was just being announced were white anyway. But I still think there should be a wiki project for it. I can hear it now: Snakes on a Wiki.

message: The introduction states that the movie was a box office bomb, but the chart seems to show otherwise. The revenue is significantly greater than the budget, so does it really qualify as a bomb?

replies: text: From what I remember it did poorly at the box office but was much more successful on DVD... so both could be true. Mark Grant 01:39, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The $59 million figure is given in the text as just from worldwide theatrical release which doesn't include DVD sales AFAIK. The estimates given for the expected opening weekend was $20-30 million and it got $15, so it doesn't seem massively off. I think it was more to do with lots of hype, but in a relatively small arena that a large part of the movie going public wouldn't have seen, led to lots of expectation, particularly among the media who were reporting on all the 'buzz', which was then not really fulfilled. --81.150.229.68 (talk) 14:31, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

message: is there any criticisms of the realism of snakes attacking people on a plane? Many snakes(such as cobras), eat other snakes, and certainly these snakes are mixed with other snakes. Also, snakes are ambush predators, while in the movie the stalk humans. Is there a pheromone that would make them attack people, who are too large to be seen as prey for most snakes? also I read the best way to combat snakes on a plane would be to turn down the temperature, since they are cold blooded.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rds865 (talk • contribs) 01:09, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

"industry analysts estimated the movie's opening box office to be between US$20 million and US$30 million........grossed only US$15.25 million in its opening days"

message: Considering how obscure this B-Movie is, it's not a real wonder that no one has noted that the premise of Snakes on a Plane is extremely similar to Tail Sting, except for the fact that they are giant scorpions. Still, other elements in common include an attack to a couple in the bathroom, a door ajar while in the air and, yes, even a line that says "Motherfuckin' bugs".--Surten (talk) 07:05, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

message: Pending consensus, I believe Sharknado should be removed from the 'See also' section due to lack of relevance (if there is relevance, it should be noted); and, the following should be added (due to obvious relevance):

*Tarantulas: The Deadly Cargo, 1977 film about spiders on a plane
