Samuel L. Jackson Says It Cost 'A Bunch' To Get His Iconic Line In This '00s Film
HuffPost
The actor insisted on delivering a particular profane word despite the initial vision for the action thriller.
Samuel L. Jackson recently revealed he pushed for using a particular expletive — one that’s frequently featured throughout his films — in the 2006 action thriller “Snakes on a Plane.”
“They were trying to make a PG-13 movie and you can only have, you know, like one fuck or some shit like that,” Jackson said in a GQ breakdown of iconic characters over the course of his career.
“And I told ’em, I’m like, ‘Look, I gotta say motherfucker in this movie. It’s fuckin’ snackes, motherfuckin’ snakes all over this plane,’” he continued.
Jackson plays FBI Agent Neville Flynn in the David R. Ellis-directed movie that also stars actors Julianna Margulies, Kenan Thompson and Sunny Mabrey.
A fan-favorite line from the film is when Jackson’s character declares that he’s “had it with these motherfuckin’ snakes on this motherfuckin’ plane.”
