Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information

    Jackson, Samuel L.

    What movie is this quote from, 'It's my Duty to Please That Booty'!?Samuel Jackson (equinom)

      Shaft.

    What movie did he sit on the council next to Yoda?Samuel Jackson (equinom)

      Episode I: Phantom Menace.

    What movie did he shoot two men for raping a girl?Samuel Jackson (equinom)

      A Time To Kill.

    What movie did he co-star with Bruce Willis?Samuel Jackson (equinom)

      Die Hard With A Vengeance.

    What is the name of the 4th film that Samuel made with Bruce Willis?Samuel L Jackson Movies (miaow)

      Unbreakable. The first film that Samuel made with Willis was 'National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon', then came 'Pulp Fiction' (although I don't think they shared screentime) the third was 'Die Hard With A Vengeance'. Lastly there is this little film in which Willis plays a man who is 'Unbreakable'. What I found unbelievable is that someone built like Samuel could be so fragile.

    Samuel was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar in this violent Bible-bashing role. What film was it?Samuel L Jackson Movies (miaow)

      Pulp Fiction. Samuel plays Jules in 'Pulp Fiction'. He plays opposite John Travolta's Vincent Vega as 2 very violent and carefree hitmen. This was the film that started the ball really rolling for Samuel and resurrected John Travolta's career overnight. I've just realised whilst writing this quiz that Samuel is making a habit of starring in films with Bruce Willis!

    In which movie does Samuel star with Sandra Bullock, Kevin Spacey and Matthew McConaughey?Samuel L Jackson Movies (miaow)

      A Time To Kill. Samuel plays Carl Lee Hailey, who is accused of murdering two rednecks in a small Mississippi town. This was based on a John Grisham novel and in my mind is the best adaptation yet.

    In which movie does Samuel appear in a kilt? Clue: In the US the film was called "Formula 51".Samuel L Jackson Movies (miaow)

      The 51st State. Samuel takes the role of an American chemist doing a drug deal in Liverpool. His co-stars include Meatloaf, Robert Carlyle, Rhys Ifans and Emily Mortimer. Point of interest - keep watching at the end of the movie to catch sight of Mr Jackson's very fit bottom!

    In which film does Samuel play a man with a God-like name who forms an alliance with a man on the wrong end of a game of 'Simon Says'?Samuel L Jackson Movies (miaow)

      Die Hard with a Vengeance. Samuel plays Zeus Carver and he decides to help John McClane (Bruce Willis) save New York from the mad and evil genius Simon (played by Jeremy Irons). This was the first movie in which Samuel caught my eye - and my sense of humour.

    In which film did Samuel play a Colonel in the US Armed Forces who rescues an Ambassador from a sieged Embassy in the Yemen?Samuel L Jackson Movies (miaow)

      Rules of Engagement. The cast in this film is excellent. Jackson, plus Tommy Lee Jones and Ben Kingsley. The film explores the rules to be followed whilst in combat and how easy the goalposts are moved. Although Jackson is on form here, this is one of my least favourite of his films.

    In this movie he was convicted of opening fire on unarmed civilians? Hint: His lawyer was Tommy Lee JonesSamuel Jackson (equinom)

      Rules of Engagement.

    In this film, Samuel plays Mitch Hennessey, a private detective helping a woman with amnesia to discover her true identity. What is the film?Samuel L Jackson Movies (miaow)

      The Long Kiss Goodnight. This film was directed by Renny Harlin, who was married (at the time) to Jackson's co-star Geena Davis. Samuel has also starred in 'Deep Blue Sea' - also directed by Harlin. I love both these films.

    In this film Samuel plays a teacher who, after being stabbed, moves from a gang-ridden school in Brooklyn to a similar school on the West coast. His character was Trevor Garfield, what was the film?Samuel L Jackson Movies (miaow)

      187. This film from 1997 was directed by Kevin Reynolds and written by Scott Yagemann, who was a teacher. 187 is police code for murder.

    In this film Samuel only appeared at the end. His co-stars were an ex-doctor and a beautiful singer - which film?Samuel L Jackson Movies (miaow)

      Out of Sight. At the end of this film, George Clooney is placed in the back of a prison van with Jackson, who, like the Clooney character, made a habit of breaking out of jail. This leads me to believe that there may be a sequel - I'm hoping, but I could be wrong. The ex-doctor is George Clooney who was Dr Doug Ross in 'ER' and the beautiful singer was Jennifer Lopez.

    In 2000, Samuel reprised a role made famous in the 60s and 70s by another famous black actor. What is the name of the character - which also happens to be the name of the movie too?Samuel L Jackson Movies (miaow)

      Shaft . Richard Rowntree was the original John Shaft in the groundbreaking movie and TV series. This movie is hardly groundbreaking, but is good escapism and Samuel is in his usual wisecracking form. Richard Roundtree is in there too!
