Snow is not his name

Post by snowball fury »

I think this is a great site but there is a big error! Snow's name is Snowball. For those of you who have seen the original beginning when Cleon gives the lineup he first names Swan War Cheif. Immidatley after that he says "Snowball your the music man." That right there says it all. SO either the credits are wrong or Cleon made a goof while giving his opening speech. But to defend my point in Full Metal Jacket there's a private Snowball.

Perhaps "Snow" is a shortened name that was used, like Rick for Richard. Or the director felt that "Snow" sounded better than "Snowball." Think of Swan having to yell: "Snowball, with me" as they were running through the park amidst the chase involving the Furies.

Yeah Cleon does say Snowball but like Wonderwheel said his name is shortened.

Also as the beginning was not in the film maybe thay kept the credits as Snow since he isn't called Snowball at any other time!

I remember the chase when he's called Snow but i still think Snowball is better. They really shouldn't have taken out that begining because it really explains alot.

Maybe Cleon just calls him that because he can.... Maybe...

No it isn't! It sounds better. Besides you can still shorten it if you want to.

You can call him whatever you want.

Both are used in the film so either is good by me.
