Snakes mutha f-in train!
This post was published 3 years 2 months 27 days ago and its content may not be valid anymore.Unlike the unrealistic Snakes on a Plane joke-of-a-movie to hit theaters these past few weeks, transportations officials are busy tending to a real snake hidden somewhere within the walls of a passenger train. Officials are stumped in their attempts to coerce the snake out of hiding.
A Swiss regional train has been blocked for nearly a week after a pet snake slithered from its owners’ clutches and hid in the partition walls of the carriage, a local rail company has said.
“We immediately took the train out of service,” Eric Luthy, a spokesman for the Neuchatel Regional Transport company, said Thursday.
Since last Saturday, reptile experts and infrared devices have been unable to find the cold-blooded adder or coax it out of its hiding place with juicy bait.
On a related note, check out this story published on the SFGate concerning the phoniness of the Hollywood movie.
As a movie purporting to show the terror of venomous snakes on an airliner, the only thing wrong with “Snakes on a Plane” is the title. It should be “Fake Snakes on a Plane.”
Obvious right? Obvious that the snakes featured on the film were fakes right? I heard Samuel L. Jackson added a clause to the contract stating that snakes could not be handled within a set perimeter of himself. Anyone have support?
sammy didnt add the clause, his lawyer/agent required it.
and personally, who cares if the snakes were digital or real, all that matters is entertainment, in the end, it was a damn impressive movie i thought, much better then i was expecting.
Not all of the snakes were fakes. I read an article in a newspaper (don’t remember which one, sorry) that talked about the different snakes.
anyway, at the premier he walked around with a python
the CGI snakes looked alright… and they actually used close to 450 real snakes during the filming ;)
The IMDB trivia for the movie talks about the number of real snakes used
I’ll have to say the CGI snakes looked terribly unrealistic…seems like we should have progressed in the last 10 years (and we have, judging from other movies)
