Hehehe, its terribly dangerous i know, but utterly hillarious.

Practical jokers released two rattlesnakes at a US movie theatre during a showing of new film Snakes on a Plane, the cinema chain has said.
An AMC Entertainment spokeswoman said one Diamondback rattlesnake was found inside the cinema in Phoenix, Arizona, and another in the car park.

No-one was injured and the snakes were released in the desert, she said.

The film, starring Samuel L Jackson, has topped the US and UK box office charts on its opening weekend.

The poisonous Diamondback rattlesnake is native to the south-western US desert.

Russ Johnson, president of the Phoenix Herpetological Society, told Reuters news agency: "There were kids at the show, and it was actually very reckless.

"The snakes' bite carries a powerful venom that could have seriously injured someone."

Snakes on a Plane stars Jackson as an FBI agent escorting a murder witness on a flight on which hundreds of poisonous snakes get loose.

The action film earned a cult following thanks to a wealth of blogs, comedy sketches and trailers generated by film fans.

The word-of-mouth popularity eventually fed back to the film's producers, who even re-shot scenes to incorporate dialogue suggested online.

Well, if nothing else, it's a movie that gives you exactly what you expect.

Who's stupid enough to put venomous snakes in a movie theatre? EVeryone knows all of them belong on a plane.

*sees a new movie called "Snakes in a Movie Theatre", sequel to "Snakes on a Train", inspired by "Snakes on a Plane".*

He's got a point. It's not like there are going to be any lizards in a car in that movie.

...followed soon after by "Snakes in the Kitchen" and "Snakes found in comically ironic locations that they would otherwise be unfit for: a 10-part mini-series"

seriously though, Snakes on a Plane is such a hilarious concept

Followed by a three-part pre-qual...

Snakes in a Diet Coke;
Snakes on a Table; and
Snakes in your Computer Speakers.

I'm so glad to see you don't buy into the stereotype that all americans are crass and only like junk.[/sarcasm]

I think most people who "get" this movie and are into the concept would actually take it seriously. The ludicriousness (new word?) is what's so delicious about it. Serpientes en un plano!

Well, unfortunately, there IS a "Snakes on a Train", but it's name is the only thing based off of "SoaP" (as it actually IS a B-movie), and it's concept is even worse than putting snakes on a plane (I think it's about a girl with demon snakes inside her tha crawl into people's skin or something. >_>). xD

Cut to a scene with Samuel L. Jackson holding a scrubbing brush in one hand and a bucket in another:
"I have had it with these bleepybleeping bugs on my bleepybleeping windscreen!"

Sounds eerily like a flash movie parody of Snakes on a Plane I saw Justice Man. Captain Insano questions the originality of your statement!

and that has what to do with people liking this movie?
if you don't like americans, that's fine with me, it's your call. I may not like some people, but I try not to judge people before I actually know them, and if I don't like them, I keep it to myself.

Anyhow...
