In an interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Jackson said that this scene was meant to show how much Jules had changed from the events in Pulp Fiction. Jackson says that originally the script involved a vision sequence where he actually shot Roth and Hoffman before a cut showed that this was all in his head.

The original script for Pulp Fiction featured a scene in which Jules killed the diner robbers, according to Samuel L. Jackson says the diner scene was originally way more violent It’s a brilliant monologue from Jackson and ends Pulp Fiction on a satisfying, yet ambiguous note. Jules then holds Pumpkin at gunpoint where he explains to him why he’s not going to kill him, even though he would have a couple of hours ago. Unfortunately for them, they happen to be robbing the same diner Jules is at after the strange and eventful day he has had. When we get to the end of Pulp Fiction, Jackson is confronting Pumpkin (Tim Roth) and Honey Bunny (Amanda Plummer) who begin the film by attempting to rob the diner. The religious part of Winnfield conflicts with the hitman part of him after “divine intervention” saves him and Vincent Vega ( John Travolta) from someone who shoots them point blank but somehow misses. However, he also shows that he is a deeply religious person, quoting the bible when he says “And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.”

Jules Winnfield has an awakening in ‘Pulp Fiction’ Uma Thurman, Samuel L. However, according to Jackson, the ending scene with him in the diner was supposed to be much more violent.

Pulp Fiction is already a violent movie, as most Quentin Tarantino movies are. It’s endlessly quotable and his performance as Jules Winnfield is magnificent. Jackson has been in over 140 movies, Pulp Fiction is still his most iconic.
