Trivia:
All of the poisonous snakes featured in the film were authentic and the cast truly did have to interact with them for filming. Only in the shot where Strother Martin grabs the King Cobra's head during the show was a puppet snake used. more

This is an entertaining 70s cheeze-fest about a snake researcher who hires a college student as his assistant. His plan is to successfully turn the boy into a King Cobra, an experiment in which he failed at with his last assistant who he ended up selling to a freak show. Obviously, the best part about SSSSSSS is the use of the real poisonous snakes. The scene in which the man tosses a Black Mamba into the shower with a guy is damn funny as well as his duel with the King Cobra. This movie also has one of the most ridiculous names that you can't say without feeling like an idiot. Worth a look if you're into deadly animals.
