Rejected Titles for ‘Snakes on a Plane’

The Web has been a-buzzing about this plainly named new film starring Samuel L. Jackson. I’ve been kicking around titles the studio might have rejected:

  • Sharks on a Boat
  • Bears on a Train
  • The Black Guy Lives Through Act One
  • Business Class, Business Asp
  • A Viper in the Exit Row
  • Snake Bombers of Saudi Arabia
  • Untitled Screenplay Combining Phobias

Well, those are all pretty lame. I also had Air-de-Lance but that was too awful and obscure to even include in my list. Surely somebody has something better?

To be honest. I thought it was a joke.

It seems like an entry for the Bruce Schneier – Terrorist Movie Plot contest.

It’s a lot like the movie “Vampires on a Plane”.

I think ‘Sharp Objects In A Drawer’ is the stand-out there. Though I like the pictures that ‘Leopards on a Segway’ and ‘Koalas On A Submarine’ make in my head.

‘Skyslither’
‘A Reptile Dysfunction’
‘Planes, Snakes and Terroristmobiles’
‘Mortal Coils’
‘Snakejack’
‘Serpentine Draft’
‘Once Bitten, Twice No Fly’
‘Captain Cobra’
’8 Snakes in a Travel Bag’
‘V for Viper (On a Plane)’
‘Flight SN4K3′
‘Air Snake’
‘Going Down in Hiss-tory’
‘Hissy Fit’
‘Snakersonic’
‘Passenger Python’
‘Sidewinder in the Sky’
‘Aisle, Window or Snakepit?’
‘Aviophidiophobia’

Really the possibilites are endless. Although I sympathize with the studio, its hard to combine snakes and planes in a catchy way.
