To promote the release of his new film Kong: Skull Island, Samuel L. Jackson stopped by The Late Late Show on Wednesday and took part in a sketch that celebrated his illustrious film career. In a span of 11-minutes, the 68-year-old legendary actor and the show's host, James Corden, reenacted thirty of Jackson's most memorable movie scenes.
And while it was great to see Jackson act out scenes from such films as Jurassic Park, Unbreakable, A Time to Kill, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it was a true pleasure seeing a live-action recreation of the "greater good" scene from The Incredibles for the first time ever.
In the 2004 Pixar animated film, when he sees Omnidroid attacking Metroville, Lucius Best instantly stops getting ready for his dinner date with his wife and goes to get his Frozone costume. But it's not where it should be, so the ice-based superhero shouts to his wife: "Honey, where's my super suit?" She says she put it away but doesn't say where. He scrambles to find it, searching all over their apartment with no luck. And that leads to this great and hilarious exchange.
"The public is in danger!" he exclaims with urgency. "You tell me where my suit is, woman! We are talking about the greater good!"
"Greater good?" she asks incredulously. "I'm your wife! I am the greatest good you are ever gonna get!"
