Snakes on a Microwave
January 8th, 2007 at 4:55 pm

A few people have sent me emails commenting on a scene in the film in which Bruce James, playing the flight attendant, throws a snake into the onboard microwave. For a few moments you can see that this particular microwave in fact has ‘Snake’ as a cooking option. You may have noticed it in fleeting during the theatrical release, but the DVD allows for so much greater clarity (and screenshots):

During the audio commentary to the scene (it starts at 43:45 by the way), director David Ellis comments that this microwave was actually a prototype and, before long, all airlines will be equipped with them.

UPDATE: David Ellis set me straight: this was NOT in the original theatrical release and was added to the DVD as something that “only the fans would catch.”

Here’s the link to watch the sequal to SOAP. I’m pretty sure Cate Blanchett has a special microwave in this movie too.

Brian; the Snakes microwave button was only for the DVD fans and not in the theatrical release seen in the theaters. I just wanted to throw something in there that only the fans would catch. David R. Ellis

I saw the movie for the first time tonight on DVD and though that was rather hokey. But hey, if it’s for the fans…
