Awesome / Snakes on a Plane

• When so many snakes kill so many people, Agent Flynn gets so pissed off, he delivers this famous line:
  "Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherfuckin' snakes on this motherfuckin' plane! Everybody strap in! (pulls his gun out) I'm about to open some fuckin' windows."
  • Probably because the title itself is a Moment of Awesome for movie titles.
  • Plus, Samuel L. Jackson signed up for the film based solely on the title, which was meant to just be a placeholder until they could think of something less ridiculous. He then insisted it be kept.
  • Also a funny moment; when the film gets aired on TV, the line "I have had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!" is replaced by this overdubbed line:
  "I have had it with these monkey-fighting snakes on this Monday-to-Friday plane!"
  • And Flynn's plan worked. Once everyone is in place to take cover, he shoots the window and, with Troy's help, opens the door, sucking all snakes out of the plane and dropping them from the sky, and the plane is safe from killer snakes (except one leftover later). Open some fuckin' windows indeed.
• The effeminate male steward when he stuffs a coral snake into the microwave, turns it on, and laughs while the snake cooks and then explodes.
  • "YEAH! HAHAHA! Who's your daddy NOW, bitch?!"
  • Even better: the microwave has a "Snake" setting.
• Mercedes gets the idea to send pictures of the dead snakes to the snake expert via her smartphone. This not only helps the latter figure out which antivenoms the passengers need but also helps him identify who supplied said snakes to Eddie Kim.
• The foul-tempered businessman finally becoming a huge python's lunch right after using Mercedes's dog Mary-Kate as bait to distract the snakes.
  • And then being seen blown out of the side of the plane, half-swallowed, along with the rest of the snakes.
• Dr. Steven Price, the snake expert found by the FBI. He doesn't go Spock Speak, he doesn't lord his knowledge over them, he doesn't marvel at the snake's odd behavior, and he is very fast and rational because he knows people's lives are in danger here. As noted on the main page, this is what movie scientists should be.
  • Also, when they find the guy who gave Eddie Kim the snakes and the man is bitten by one that escapes in a scuffle, Price cheerfully tells him the species and its lethality and allows Agent Harris to withhold the anti-venom until the man agrees to cooperate with the FBI. He's how they got the evidence against Kim.
  • Speaking of that scene: What Harris says after he gives the guy the anti-venom:
  Harris: Bring in Eddie Kim. Charge him with multiple counts of murder and attempted murder, and get that piece-of-shit attorney on the phone. Yeah, tell him to ask Kim what his preference is: gas or lethal injection.
• Chen, the martial artist passenger, kills crazed venomous snakes with his bare hands to rescue Mercedes and her dog Mary-Kate. He also grabs a snake off someone when it gets caught around her neck during the plane's decompression.
• Troy managing to land the plane safely, even when his only experience was just a flight simulator from a Playstation console (and some very loud direction from Flynn). The reaction of Flynn and the passengers, especially Troy's friend Three Gs, sells it.
  Troy & Flynn: WOOOOO!!!
  Flynn: ALL PRAISES TO THE PLAYSTATION!! YEAH! (high fives Troy)
  Three Gs: That's my boy, Troy! YES!
