Samuel L. Jackson is ringing in three decades of "Pulp Fiction" with a callback to a classic scene.
Jackson ripped through the "Pulp Fiction" version of the bible verse Ezekiel 25:17, the now-famous verse which gained widespread attention from fans of the Quentin Tarantino movie. The heavily edited verse famously appears in a scene in which Jackson, playing hitman Jules Winnfield, recites the passage moments before killing a man at point-blank distance.
The actor posted the recitation in an Instagram post on Monday to commemorate the 30-year anniversary of the cult classic film’s release.
"YOU KNOW I STILL GOT IT!!! EZEKIEL 25:17 🎥HAPPY 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF PULP FICTION," wrote Jackson in the caption of his post.
