Sssssss  (1973)
[+]
(Foreign Titles)
Nomination Year: 1994
SYNOPSIS: A mad scientist is out to save mankind by developing a serum which will turn people into king cobras. (Why? So they can survive the upcoming nuclear holocaust, silly.) But first, he must test it. What better subjects than the boyfriends of his mousy daughter?

Why the title Sssssss (that's seven "S"s, by the way)? Because that's one of the two things the test audiences wanted to call it, and it sounded better than "Booooooo!"

Inane Dialogue
Sssssssure is an inane comment.
The scientist enlists four or five others to help him carry a sixty-foot boa constrictor. The thing's the size of a light pole. One of the cops remarks, "Sure is a big snake." The scientist quietly responds, "I know."
