When you read as many scripts as Samuel L Jackson does (Avengers: Age of Ultron will be his 117th film) you could be forgiven for not being able to remember exerts from those that came much earlier in your career, but during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show the actor showed that his infamous Pulp Fiction speech is very much lodged in his memory.

Jackson recited the Bible passage from the Quentin Tarantino film word-for-word on the chat show, perhaps not with the exact same intonation as in the original, but with plenty of menace all the same.

His perfect recitation shows just what an iconic film moment it was – I doubt Jackson could tell you a single line from Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and he only made that a year ago.

The actor was joined on the sofa by Keira Knightley, was who suitably impressed by the speech.

Below is a clip of the recitation in ‘Pulp Fiction’.
