At this point in his career, Samuel L. Jackson and foul language are inextricably linked, to the point that he is willing to parody his own persona (Snakes on a Plane anyone?). While some might debate when that connection first was established, we think this scene from Pulp Fiction might be an ideal candidate.
In the scene, Jackson's gangster enforcer, Jules, is interrogating poor young Brett (Frank Whaley), asking him a question that doesn't make sense at first, but eventually becomes clear.
Unfortunately, the imposing presence of Jules, combined with the barrel of a loaded gun, were too much for Brett, who says the word "What" a few too many times. Luckily for us, his nervousness provides Jackson's character the fuel necessary to deliver his iconic biblical monologue - a quote that (spoiler alert) comes up in another scene that made this list.
We featured this scene on our list of top martial arts scenes so it makes sense that it also be included here. Unlike many of the scenes that made this particular list, however, this is perhaps the most bloody. In fact, this scene from Volume 1 of Kill Bill features more blood and gore than Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction combined.
