Pulp Fiction – Ezekiel 25:17

Filed under: Day to day — jorge @ 22:04

I just saw a clip on youtube.com, the part in Pulp Fiction where Samuel L. Jackson supposedly quotes the bible. But did you know that most of what he says is made up?

He says:

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the Valley of Darkness; for he is truly his brother’s keeper, and the finder of lost children. And, I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers! And, you will know my name is The Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!

Looking up the quote on the internet though, this is what we get:

and – quoting IMDB :

The passage from the Bible that Jules has memorized was mostly made up by Quentin Tarantino and Samuel L. Jackson. The only part that’s similar to what the Bible says is the part where he says, “And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger. And you will know My name is the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon thee.” However, the parts about the righteous man and the shepherd are not real.

Having said that, let’s have a look at the clip:

If that isn’t brilliant, I don’t know what is. :)
