Samuel L Jackson wows fans with impressive delivery of his iconic 'Pulp Fiction' monologue from memory
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Samuel L Jackson is proving that even after 30 years, he's still got it.
The legendary actor, now 75, marked the 30th anniversary of 'Pulp Fiction' by sharing a video of himself reciting one of the most memorable moments from the film, his character Jules Winnfield's recitation of Bible verse Ezekiel 25:17.

Samuel L Jackson recreates a lightning-fast rendition of the iconic Ezekiel 25:17 monologue
Seated casually on a couch, dressed in a striped cardigan and dark shirt, Samuel L Jackson revisited the iconic speech from the Quentin Tarantino classic.
The actor delivered the monologue at lightning speed, showing his mastery of the dialogue.
He shared the video with the caption, "YOU KNOW I STILL GOT IT!!! EZEKIEL 25:17. HAPPY 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF PULP FICTION."
The 1994 crime drama catapulted Jackson's career to new heights.

In the film, Jackson’s character, Jules, is the business partner of hitman Vincent Vega, played by John Travolta.
Their partnership became central to the film’s success, with both earning Oscar nominations for their performances.
Jackson revisited the famous lines earlier this year on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' where he donned Jules' Jheri Curl wig and gave a theatrical yet more subdued version of the speech.
To further honor the film's October 14 release, the actor shared a second social media post filled with throwback photos from the set.
PULP FICTION is 30!

This movie launched like a rocket out of Cannes and changed my life. It debuted in theaters on this day in 1994 and I’ll always remember the audience reaction. I knew this film was something special after that…AND 30 YEARS LATER, IT STILL IS. pic.twitter.com/Jz144jnmjj
He nostalgically captioned the post, "This movie launched like a rocket out of Cannes and changed my life. It debuted in theaters on this day in 1994 and I’ll always remember the audience reaction. I knew this film was something special after that…AND 30 YEARS LATER, IT STILL IS."
