10 Badass Samuel L. Jackson Movie Quotes

4. Jackie Brown (1997)

"AK-47, the very best there is. When you absolutely, positively got to kill every motherf**cker in the room, accept no substitutes."

Quentin Tarantino's third movie isn't on a par with Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, but is still an excellent throwback crime movie that doesn't always get the recognition it deserves amongst the pantheon of QT classics. Adapted from Elmore Leonard's Rum Punch, the blaxploitation tribute is superbly acted by the ensemble cast, including the Golden Globe-nominated Samuel L Jackson as questionably hair-and-bearded Ordell Robbie.

Tarantino always writes brilliant monologues for Jackson, and this one is no exception. The iconic line comes as Ordell gives Robert de Niro's Louis Gara his sales pitch, aided by a 'Chicks With Guns' video on the TV. Although part of a longer three-minute verbal diatribe, it is the AK-47 line that sticks in the memory, Jackson emanating cool as he delivers it.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
