Samuel L. Jackson Shares BMF Lightsaber and Real Reason for Engraving

During an appearance Wednesday on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Samuel L. Jackson revealed that he didn’t request that his lightsaber have the reference engraved on it, “They did that because they loved me — I didn’t ask for it,” Jackson explained.

“When the shoot was over, when they presented it to me, it had ‘BMF’ on the on-off button,” the “Glass” actor said of his gift. When the talk show host asked what those three letters meant, Jackson joked, “Bad, my friend.”

In director Quentin Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction,” Jackson’s character has a wallet with the saying “Bad Motherf – – ker” spelled out on it.

Fallon showed a photo of the lightsaber to the audience, noting: “Now that’s what I’m talking about! That’s love for Samuel L. Jackson right there!”

“It was!” Jackson laughed.
