Formula 51 with Samuel L. Jackson

**Rogerson785** · 5th March 08, 08:55 AM

I had already seen the movie Formula 51 with Samuel L. Jackson, but being a kilt wearer now I can really appreciate the many scenes of him being kilted. The part where he is leaving the hotel with his golf clubs and fights the three skinheads is great, it really shows the swoosh, swing and fantastic pleats.

In the special features on the DVD Samuel Jackson talks about how he saw his co-star from Star Wars wearing a kilt to the opening knight and how splendid Sean Connery looked and Samuel Jackson said if they can pull it off then I could as well.

Does anyone know what tartan he was wearing?

I saw him show up on Jay Leno in the kilt one evening. I have to admit that Duncan from Monarch of the Glen started me thinking, "...I ought to think about wearing a kilt...it looks really cool.", but seeing SLJ in the kilt was what really tipped the balance...figgered if HE could pull it off, I just had to get kilted.

I love it! Now just twist the scene from Pulp Fiction, and you'll get...

"Hand me my Kilt!"

"Which one's yours?"

"The one that says Bad *** ****** ***** on it!"

His co-star being Ewan McGregor of course.

Here is the answer to the tartan question.. Link

I believe I read somewhere that it is the family tartan of the slave owners of his ancestors.

I met him on the streets of Liverpool one day when filming was going on (the film was called 51st State back in the UK) - I happened to be manager of one of the buildings that was being used in a getaway scene. I asked him back then whether he'd wear it full-time. He that he was planning on wearing it 'absolutely all of the time if I can get away with it' and that it was the 'single most comfortable garment a guy can wear'.

Unfortunately that was quite a while before I took the plunge - I often wonder how cool it would have been if I'd happened to have been kilted for my chance meeting with him.
