And then we watch as our personality-free characters get killed off (the plane is full of cliché characters, from a disaster-film passenger check-list). We have the germophobic rapper (Flex Alexander) and his videogamer bodyguard (Kenan Thompson). There's the Valley girl with her dog in a purse (Rachel Blanchard, reprising her "Clueless" role).

There's the irritating British businessman (Gerard Plunkett), the cute kids, the cliché mom with a baby and our oversexed couple making out in the bathroom. Then we have the snakes. Big snakes, little snakes, constrictors, biters, stalkers and jumpers.

Admittedly, the best part of SoaP was the audience participation, as they provided ongoing commentary. The movie's signature line, in which Flynn screams the fan-written "Enough is enough - I've had it with these mother-fucking snakes on this mother-fucking plane," is soaked up by an audience that's ready, primed and pumped; movie-goers applaud and chant in pure Rocky Horror Picture Show vein.

After an earlier backlash from the news that Snakes on a Plane was aiming for a safe PG-13 rating while fans wanted R-rated thrills, New Line re-shot five days of scenes, adding solid violence, sex and profanity, including that much-hyped Jackson line (that an online blogger wrote), and the finished product proudly sports its "R" rating.
