Jules Winfield aiming his gun at someone off-camera in Pulp Fiction (1994)
Few actors have had a career as rich as Samuel L. Jackson, but his role as Jules in Pulp Fiction stands out from the rest. The Biblical monologue he gives to his targets before killing them serves as a powerful introduction for his character, but the actual speech is neither original nor accurate. Although Ezekiel 25:17 does serve as the source for the final portion of the speech, the remainder was taken from a Japanese martial arts film in the 1970s.
“And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.” “The path of the righteous man and defender is beset on all sides by the inequity of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper, and the father of lost children.
This love for martial arts by Tarantino would rear its head most clearly in Kill Bill, and he would not forget just how much Chiba inspired him. In the film, he has a small role as Hattori Hanzo, the legendary swordmaster who has renounced the katana. While his role is brief, it has a major impact when The Bride convinces him to leave retirement and craft a new sword for her.
