"Rip-off" seems kind of POV... 65.94.104.163 03:28, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ordinarily I'd agree, but...it's three letters away from the title of a well-known movie that's already approaching cult status, entered development after the popularity of the oriignal became clear, and is being released three days before SOAP. At best, "rip-off" should be changed to "derivative" or something else less colloquial, but that's objectively what it is. --ShaleZero 05:00, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Company that produced this movie has a history of ripping movies off anyway. It does not seem POV to me.--69.149.19.18 00:42, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Parody" is a perfectly good word, and that's exactly what this is. Fan-1967 18:35, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't belive it's a parody because it seems like snakes on a train is supposed to be a serious (if derivative movie) and not a parody like Scary Movie

I don't see how you can make an equivalent plot to snakes on a plane this way. wouldn't you just stop the train and get off? It doesn't really have the 'many hours trapped here with no escape' aspect.

You would think that, wouldn't you? IIRC the conductor was smoking a light bulb, and then the shaman busted the train controls. 68.32.86.231 07:18, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Um........ all the people on the train are also under the influence of the curse, so they, like the unnaturally/supernaturally agressive snakes, are thus forced to become pawns of the scriptwriter.

Moreover, having someone do something smart in a horror movie tends to make the movie end. Does a movie like this really need a plot?

Dave Coulier is NOT Stephen Day

I've deleted this once. Look at imdb. Stephen AF Day is NOT Dave Coulier. Although they look similar, Day is nearly 20 years younger than Coulier and has severl credited rolls in other things. I would request that if anyone wants to add back that he is, that you please site some reference of some sort other than their similar appearence.

Some notes on quality

This page seems more than a little biased, and contains wording that some people might consider offensive ("Whoreywood Video" being the prime example). The content and tone seem more suited to Uncyclopedia than to Wikipedia. The criticisms are quite simply unprofessional.

Additionally, most (if not all) of the facts mentioned in the article need properly referenced in-line citations.

If anyone actually cares about this movie enough to do any serious editing on this page, kudos to you. You deserve a very large pat on the back.
