Snakes on a Plane

When snakes get cold they go to sleep, if they depressurised the cabin they wouldn't have to shoot them, it's a really bad idea to shoot guns in a plane.

I refer you to the episode of Mythbusters where they test to see what REALLY happens when you shoot a gun on a plane, either through the fuselage or through the window. To simulate the difference in pressure betwen inside and outside at flying altitude they pressurised a sealed plane on the ground to create the pressure difference then remotely fired a gun.

Result: you get a little hole but no explosive decompression.

SAMUEL L. JACKSON: No! Hell, no! You want the snake hit! You want to see it. You have two people goin' to screw in a bathroom on a plane and you know that there are some snakes on there... you know that when that tit comes out, you want to see a snake on that tit! At some point you gonna go, "Man, I know a snake's going to show up somewhere... and hopefully that snake's going to be on that tit!"

:D

Doesn;t the aerodynamics of the air outside whipping by at 500mph have something to do with it as well?

That was factored into it and I believe it made only a small difference.

Explosive Decompression:
This test was intended to prove or disprove the myth that a hole in an aircraft during flight will suck everything in the aircraft outside, like in many action movies.
They tested this myth using 4 different methods. Gunshot though window, gunshot through fuselage, small explosive to blow out the window, and large explosive. (Which blew up nearly the entire aircraft)
The Mythbusters first started by finding an old plane in an aircraft graveyard. They then completely sealed up the aircraft, rigged up a remote-control gun, and then pressurized the inside of the aircraft to the equivalent of the pressure while flying. Buster, the crash test dummy, was in the seat beside the window to be shot.
A hole in the window did not cause anything to even move, nor did a hole in the fuselage. A small explosion meant to take the entire window out caused a seat cover to get sucked out the window. The large explosion ripped off the entire roof of the aircraft as well as a portion of the side. Buster remained in his seat, despite a lot of debris laying on top of him.
This myth was busted - you cannot be sucked out of a small hole of an aircraft while flying.

So let's just ignore the fuel lines, hydraulic systems and all the electrical cabeling as non of these constitute a threat to bringing down an aircraft. :p

To be fair the myth was concerned with the window and a non-vital part of the fuselage and was inspired by the end of Goldfinger. Of course if you hit something important then that's a whole different kettle of snakes.

I was thinking more about the pilot, you might hit the pilot and the plane would crash. Mindst you, no plane no snake problem.

I wonder what sort of snakes they are.
 
If you puncture the fuselage of a plane it's hit and miss whether you'll all be killed to bits or not. The older the plane, the better your chances, typically. The Mythbusters thing doesn't get close.
 
I hope they have a scene where a snake wraps it self round the controls of the plane, and causes it to dive sharply. Then because the plane is plummiting everyone and all the snakes start to float like in anti-gravity. Then Samuel comes launching across in anti-gravity and wrestles one of the snakes in anti-gravity. And then just as he kills one the plane levels out and it drops down dead on the floor of the cabin. And he says some one-liner that i'm nowhere near cool enough to think of......:(

As far as I know, it is a pick 'n mix job - a veritable cornucopia of legless reptiles.

:cool:


Has anyone seen the (bad) snakes on a plane song? It is the movie-tie in and was on MTV the other day.

They could have got the Badger/Mushroom/SNAAAAKE! Its a SNAAAAKE uaahghguu a SNAKE! team to knock something up for the movie.

Now that would have been infinite :cool:

Is that 'bad' meaning good? :cool:


No sadly.

:(

It is nowhere near bad enough to be good.

It is just disposable pop-emo with a surprisingly dull and snake-free video (bar some X-Rays of snakes in a suitcase) and has a 3 second shot of Mr Samuel L sitting down and not saying "motherfucking" at all.

I was hoping for some dope aero-snake themed lyrics.
 
They had to reshoot whole parts of the film as it only got a PG-13 rating in the states (like our 12A) to make it more gory for an R rating (our 15/18)

It's a 15 over here for strong languague and bloody violence.
