Samuel L. Jackson is the highest-grossing movie actor of all time, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. Part of his $7.4 billion box office history comes from the fact that the man has made a staggering number of movies. He's made more than 100 of them since his debut in Spike Lee's Jungle Fever in 1991.
So when it came time to highlight some of his best characters on The Late Late Show With James Corden, it was tough to narrow them down. But in 11 minutes, the two recreated Pulp Fiction (complete with a full Jules monologue), the Star Wars prequels, Snakes on a Plane, Jurassic Park, and more iconic films from the last three decades. Jackson also said he'd be up for making more Quentin Tarantino movies, which is a relief to us all.
Corden has done this before with Tom Cruise and Arnold Schwarzenegger, among others. But Wednesday night's segment is a reminder of just how many memorable movies wouldn't have been the same without Jackson. It's also a reminder of the not-so-transformative power of a really bad John Travolta wig.
