20 years ago, Samuel L. Jackson threatened to walk off 'Snakes on a Plane' —here's why
Samuel L. Jackson almost walked off "Snakes on a Plane" over one studio decision. 20 years later, here’s how he saved the 2006 cult classic.
Twenty years ago, Samuel L. Jackson threatened to walk off "Snakes on a Plane." The film's premise is simple: snakes on a plane. New Line Cinema originally wanted to change the title to "Pacific Flight 121," but Jackson's insistence kept the original moniker. Jackson's involvement led to the film's success, as he threatened to quit if the studio went with the alternative title. The movie is a "so bad it's good" film, with its absurdity and over-the-top elements making it a delight to watch.
