Samuel L. Jackson: Difference between revisions

* [[Nick Fury]] in [[The Ultimates]] was patterned after Jackson with the man's permission, under the condition that he got to play the character in ''any'' movies they might make in the future. So when {{spoiler|Fury appeared in [[The Stinger|the post-credits scenes]] in ''[[Iron Man (film)|Iron Man]]'', ''[[Thor (film)|Thor]]'' and ''[[Captain America: The First Avenger]]'', Sam made cameos. Uncredited, ''at his own request'', just so they're a surprise for any fans devoted enough to actually pay attention to the credits.}} Jackson also played Fury in the ''[[The Avengers (film)|The Avengers]]'' film.

** Lampshaded in the comics. Who does Fury himself think should play him in a film?

** And, recently, in ''[[Iron Man (film)|Iron Man 2]]''.

''I have [[Eyepatch of Power|my eye]] on you.'' }}

** Best part of all this(so far): we ''finally'' find out [[MacGuffin|exactly what]] is in [[Pulp Fiction|Marsellus Wallace]]'s briefcase - '''''{{spoiler|The [http://marvel.wikia.com/Cosmic_Cube Cosmic Cube]!}}'''''

** "I'll be dead on his ass like Spencer for fuckin' hire. I'll hunt him down and feed him his own testicles. ''And'' I'll do it in a jiffy! And I don't care if his mama there, his grandmama, innocent bystanders, little kids, babysitters, bill collectors, what''EVER!'' I'll leave his whole BLOCK filled with hot brass if I have to! AND YOU KNOW WHY? CAUSE I JUST DON'T GIVE A FUCK! [[Mood Whiplash|...you guys sure you don't want some breakfast? I got English muffins and peach jelly.]]"

* Though perhaps not as major a role as the others on this page, Jackson's dialogue as Mr. Olin, the hotel manager in ''[[1408]]'' is very memorable:

'''Gerald Olin''': ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}Tus5qV1DcWs It's an evil fucking room.]'' }}

** Interestingly, the character in the original novel was a middle aged British man. Though the change is quite understandable: if some British guy walked up to you and said 'Don't go in the room!', [[Schmuck Bait|you'd probably do it out of spite]]. Now if ''Samuel L Jackson'' told you 'Don't go in the fucking room'... You'd either have a really short movie or a really big [[Idiot Ball]].

* He is also a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-p1dUrVR9ls legendary youth hockey coach.]

* ''[[Astro Boy]]'' as Zog. He even gets a Samuel L. Jackson line:

* ''The Red Violin'' is the story of a violin from the 17th century, its various owners, and the different times it survived through. Who just happens to be an appraiser for a collection of violins, including the title instrument? SAMUEL L. MOTHERFUCKIN JACKSON.

** And at the end of that movie he {{spoiler|switches that out for a fake and gives the real one to his daughter.}} Because he's just that bad ass.

* Also, he managed to push a terrible movie into [[So Bad It's Good]] territory by playing the [[Affably Evil]] villain in ''Arena''.

* Played Sargeant Hondo in [[SWAT]]

* Last but not least, Samuel L Jackson is [[God]]. That's right, in the audiobook "Inspired By... The Bible Experience", of all the 400 actors, actresses and other notables brought together to read the entire Bible, the one they get to portray God's voice in the New Testament is none other than Samuel L Jackson.
