Pulp Fiction, released in 1994 and directed by Quentin Tarantino, made the Ezekiel 25:17 speech one of cinema's most quoted monologues. Samuel L. Jackson performs it as Jules Winnfield moments before violence, loosely adapting the biblical passage for dramatic effect. The scene helped define the film's mix of pop culture, religion and crime, and the audio later spread across forums, edits and soundboards as a standalone clip. It remains popular because the delivery works without context, turning an ordinary moment into a threat.
