Samuel L. Jackson's most badass movie moments

"Jackie Brown" (1997)

His second collaboration with Quentin Tarantino gave Jackson an ultimate badass role. Ordell Robie is a vicious gun dealer who meets his unlikely match in a savvy, middle-aged flight attendant (Pam Grier).

Badass moment: Take your pick. Ordell says “AK-47. When you absolutely, positively got to kill every motherfucker in the room, accept no substitutes,” and “Girl, don’t make me put my foot in your ass,” in his very first scene. It’s all gold here.
