In this TV Guide article Samuel L. Jackson is discusses the 'R' rating due to language: We can't be going, 'Golly, gee....' I mean, there are snakes on a plane!
And when asked about sequels, he points out that snakes on a plane is a very specific situation - you're on a plane, you can't get off, but there is no logical* follow up. Where, he says, can you go from there? There aren't a lot of vehicles you can do that with. "Snakes on a Cruise Ship"? Maybe if you're way out in the ocean, but you could still get on a life raft. "Snakes in Space"? I'm not [playing] an astronaut.
I have no desire to see this movie, despite the fact I've enjoyed the whole internet hoop-la surrounding it. It will be too gross and violent for the likes of me. I do, however, hope if fufills all expectations. I invision it as the next 'Rocky Horror' with people throwing rubber snakes and shouting lines along with Samuel Jackson.
*for a given value of 'logic', naturally. I mean, the original movie isn't the most logical of things, really
