Alternatives to Snakes on a Plane
Aug 16th, 2006 by Alex
I haven’t seen Snakes on a Plane, nor do I plan to until it hits the low-rent theaters. Love or hate the concept, the title is fun to scream… especially so when you attempt to imitate Samuel L. Jackson.
You really have to scream it, just like he does. If you don’t, it just isn’t fun. To get you in the zone, consider some other choice quotes.
[pointing his gun] “Say what again. SAY WHAT AGAIN. I dare you, I double dare you, motherfucker. Say what one more goddamn time.”
– Pulp Fiction, with full quotation.“You tell me where my suit is, woman!”
– The Incredibles, with full quotation.
That’s the kind of angst we’re going for here. But why stop there? Certainly there could be other films in this genre, enough to keep the animal handlers and trainers busy for decades. Here’s a few that we came up with, at least the ones that I could remember.
- Petri in a Dish - My personal favorite.
- Turtles on a Train - Clearly a terror film.
- Babies in the Beaker - A bit risqu?, perhaps.
- Dolphins in a Tank
- Prairie Dogs on the Plain
- Golf Balls on the Range - A sports documentary, for sure.
- Dogs on a Leash
- NEW! Dingos in a Diner
- NEW! Beagles on a Bicycle
- NEW! Moose on a Moped
- NEW! Rhinos on a Rocket
- NEW! Kangaroos on a Cruise Ship
- NEW! Penguins in a Pickup
- NEW! Salmon on a Skateboard
Some of them are clearly better than the others and I know I’ve forgotten several dozen that we stumbled upon. I think the key is attempting to place the protagonist in an unfamiliar situation… although if it rhymes and you can scream it out it tends to work as well.
Got anything better?
