20 Things You Somehow Missed In Pulp Fiction
8. Ezekiel 25:17 Isn't Accurate
Trying to decide your favourite character in Pulp Fiction feels like an impossible task. There were so many classic characters created and brought to life by Quentin Tarantino in 1994, and no matter who your actual favourite is, chances are Jules Winnfield is near the top of the list.
Samuel L. Jackson’s portrayal of the foul-mouthed, no-nonsense hitman was one of the highlights of the entire movie, and he had several iconic moments. Many of these came during his interaction with Brett, with one of the most famous being his recital of Ezekiel 25:17.
Generally, whenever Jules said this bible passage aloud it meant that someone was going to die, though he bent these rules with Pumpkin after experiencing his perceived divine intervention. He said the same words in a completely different way, only this time they had a much different meaning.
In reality, he could make them mean just about anything he wanted, or at least Quentin Tarantino could, as this wasn’t actually a true bible verse. While Ezekiel 25:17 is a real verse in the bible, and is similar to Jules’ words, the majority of the passage was very much original, created to make the exact impact it did within the movie.
