Samuel L. Jackson says the studio was trying to turn Snakes on a Plane (2006) into a PG 13 movie until he stepped in and demanded to say “motherf*cker.”
“They were trying to make a PG 13 movie and you can only have like one fck or some sht like that in it.”
“And I told them, ‘Look, I gotta say motherf*cker in this movie.’”
“It’s like… there’s motherf*cking snakes all over this plane.”
Jackson also nearly quit when the studio temporarily renamed the movie “Terror on Flight 272.”
“If it’s not Snakes on a Plane, I’m not shooting an inch of this f*cking movie, I’ll go home right now.”
