CLOSED ***BAKERS DOZEN - Goodness, gracious, snakes alive***


List movies where snakes play an active role - not just snakes slithering along the ground in westerns, but where their actions play an integral part to the movie's plot or are of special importance to the characters.

1. Kill Bill 2 - Black Momba kills Budd.

Here is a hint for the movie I'm thinking of. It was mega production in the 1950's.

I'll check back in the morning to see if anyone comes up with it.

10. The theft at the Temple Of Set by Conan, Subotai and Valeria leads to Conan slaying a gigantic snake but more importantly it is the first time Conan puts together the Snake cult's involvement in his clan's slaughter and gives him the pure purpose of vengeance...Following this episode he forgets his lover, his best friend and his wise sage...He will solve the Riddle Of Steel with his sword

HM: Esme the snake in Foul Play (1978)

reply

Every time I see that movie, I swear Esme is laughing when Burgess Meredith burns the cigarette pack with the film in it.

reply

I remember that close up of Esme. It does look like she’s laughing.

Doesn't really fit, but I couldn't resist ...
