Samuel L. Jackson's Iconic Line in 'Snakes on a Plane' Came at a High Cost

The actor pushed for an R rating, leading to expensive reshoots to include his famous expletive-laden line.

Samuel L. Jackson insisted on using his signature expletive in the 2006 film 'Snakes on a Plane,' which initially aimed for a PG-13 rating.
Jackson's demand for more swearing led to costly reshoots, transforming the film into an R-rated movie.
The actor argued that the film's title and concept necessitated the use of stronger language to match its campy, B-movie vibe.
Despite the viral buzz and fan enthusiasm generated by Jackson's involvement and the film's title, 'Snakes on a Plane' underperformed at the box office.
Jackson's iconic line, 'I have had it with these motherf—ing snakes on this motherf—ing plane,' remains one of the most memorable aspects of the film.
