    Yep, same film.
    And say what you will about the film, Samuel L. Jackson wore that kilt and sporran like it was the most natural thing in the world to do.

    As for his golf game ... "Elmo's in the House!"

    It's quite an hilarious film. Samuel L wears the kilt all through, except for the opening sequences in the lab when he lets the mice go free when he's wearing jeans.

    It looks like it don't it? How many movies does Jackson wear a kilt? I'm just being smart. It does seem like it though. I kinda liked it ,but, not enough to buy it in the store.

    This is the film in which Samuel L. Jackson wears a kilt for most of, if not all the film.
    Every year some wreckless individual tries to immitate something dangerous he sees in the movies. As a Paramedic back home, this translates into job security. But, since I like all of you, I shall worn you now. It might work for Samuel Jackson, but never, never, let your girl friend shoot her hand gun from between your legs. You will most assuredly burn your haggis.

    Someone needs to be told this? It would qualify for the nonreproductive part of the Darwin Award. If someone WANTS to try it give him a flintlock for the added entertainment value.

    Did anyone recognise the tartan of the kilt Samel L was wearing? In theory it could have been a Grant or a MacGillivray, but it didn't look like either to me.

    At the time of the film's big-screen release, I am sure I read somewhere that the tartan had been especially designed and woven for Mr. Jackson's kilt. Whatever it was, it was very attractive.

    From one article I found:

    In Formula 51 Sam Jackson wears a skirt, a quilt of the McElroy clan to be exact.
