Jackson](http://time.com/4403634/samuel-l-jackson-game-of-thrones-recap/?iid=sr-link2) has been in a lot of movies. Like, [a lot a lot](http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/10/28/samuel-l-jackson-the-highest-grossing-actor-of-all-time/?iid=sr-link10). Jackson, however, isn’t someone to be intimidated by a number, no matter how large. When he stopped by _The Late Late Show_ on Wednesday, he and [James Corden](http://time.com/4654796/james-camden-immigration-ban/?iid=sr-link2) stepped up to try and recreate every single one of his roles in just 11 minutes—many of which involved Corden getting beat up or put down. They kicked their ambitious project off with a double helping of _Pulp Fiction,_ followed by a bit from _Jackie Brown._ Then, Corden took a beat down courtesy of _Shaft,_ and got a life lesson in killing in the _Kingsman: The Secret Service_ and in _The Negotiator_. It was all moving smoothly with some of Jackson’s greatest hits until _XXX_, when Corden’s impersonation of [Vin Diesel](http://time.com/4639335/vin-diesel-on-james-corden/?iid=sr-link2) stopped [Jackson](http://time.com/3633413/eric-garner-michael-brown-tamir-rice-samuel-l-jackson/?iid=sr-link9) in his tracks, “That’s your Vin Diesel?!” he asked Corden, in shock. As Corden continued with his line, Jackson turned to stare at the camera before walking off stage to continue with the reenactments and pretend _that_ never happened. Luckily, there were so many other movies in the mix, it was easy to overlook. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4696637/samuel-l-jackson-spoof/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4696637/samuel-l-jackson-spoof/"},"headline":"Watch Samuel L.
