Live Rattlesnakes Released In 'Snakes On A Plane' Theater

Two live diamondback rattlesnakes were released in an Arizona movie theater during a showing of the new film "Snakes on a Plane," according to Local 6 News.

Authorities said pranksters released the young venomous rattlesnakes in a dark theater at the AMC Desert Ridge near Tatum and Loop 101 in Phoenix.

The two snakes caused a panic in the dark theater, according to the report.

"That to me is very scary," herpetological association representative Tom Whiting said. "I would hate to be watching a movie about snakes and have a rattlesnake bite me."

Wranglers were called to collect the snakes, the report said.

No one was injured in the incident and, so far, the culprits have not been caught.

Officials believe the snakes were smuggled into the theater in backpacks.

"This thing is under someone's chair and they go to sit and they just push your foot in the air and startle it -- obviously all they got to do is startle this thing," Phoenix Herpetological Society spokesman Daniel Marchand said. "It's dark. They can't see you, you know that well. If it's scared, boom it strikes."

The snakes were released into the desert.

Desert Ridge mall is "Dumbass Ridge" mall - lots of mooks, wiggers, wannabies and other dumbasses hang out there in abundance. It's almost as bad as Arizona Mills.

See, hordes of gopher and garter snakes would've actually been considered childishly funny. Might even have been mistaken as a marketing ploy.

But still funny. Anybody who spends money at the theater to see that who doesn't walk out alive makes for a cleaner gene pool.

I don't advocate that behavior though. it's funny as hell sitting in my office reading it, but not cool.

Can we ban stupid snake movies now? For the children, maybe?

This did indeed happen, I am a manager of a different AMC in Phoenix.
The question is, who would think that was funny/clever?

Not me, especially Western Diamondbacks. Their bite alone is one of the most painful bites you can get from a snake. Huge fangs comparatively speaking and they inject both nuero and hemotoxic poisons. Not funny. Not one bit.

Sam jackson mode on: /I'm sick of going to fucking movies and getting motherfucking snakes in the movie with me, so you better be issuing some snakeproof boots in this motherfucker /Sam Jackson mode off:

I'd figure I have a fairly good sense of humor as I can find it in almost every situation. That said, I fail to find humor in a prank like this and those that do are obviously fucking idiots.

If the media is as accurate on this as they are on the "machine-gun" crimes, it's probably just bull snakes and not rattlers. I have neighbors calling me weekly to come save them from the rattlesnake, always turns out to be a bullsnake.

I heard on the radio this afternoon that at theatre in the midwest somewhere (St Louis???) someone threw a bucketload of rubber snakes into the audience at "Snakes on a Plane" and this caused a little excitement...
