Rob what are the chance of Big Sam being under 6ft2in today?

[Editor Rob: it's possible]
jtm says on 29/Aug/10
big t did you see a picture of him looking 5'11 next to 5'9 chris rock?
Big T says on 29/Aug/10
hehe. I came here because Jackson looks at least 2 inches (perhaps more) shorter than The Rock in that movie they're in together (forget what it's called).

Since Viper (and others, to be fair) constantly campaign for a 6'2" range Rock, I was interested to hear what they would say about that....I see Viper is already all over this one, haha.

Having said that, something is off here....Rob has Jackson and The Rock 1 inch apart, the difference is at least 2 inches for sure.

In The Other Guys Samuel is 8cm-10cm shorter than 191cm Dwayne Johnson.
Am i the only one here noticing the math doesn't match.Samuel 188cm,Dwayne 191...
NO WAY.
RampageClover 190.8cm says on 20/Aug/10
6ft2.5in/6ft3in peak and 6ft2in/6ft2.5in now
Viper says on 20/Aug/10
Go get glasses. He looks 6'0 today
Aleks says on 20/Aug/10
2-inch loss at 62? No way, Jackson was not under 6' 2" peak.
anonymous says on 19/Aug/10
6'0" is crap. he is 6'1" .
Viper says on 19/Aug/10
He looks 6'0 today.
Mandilo says on 18/Aug/10
some nuts say he was 6ft, no way. 6ft0.5 at less and 6ft1 in film nowadays.
Viper says on 14/Aug/10
Hes 6'0 today. NOT 6'1
T.J. says on 13/Aug/10
Looks more 6'1" around The Rock in The Other Guys
RampageClover 190.8cm says on 7/Aug/10
6in taller than Wesley Snipes in Jungle Fever
2in taller than Chris Tucker in Jackie Brown
2in taller than John Travolta in Pulp Fiction

Was definately near 6ft3in if not 6ft3in during the 90s
Anonymous says on 6/Aug/10
Peak height 6'2" and he's 6-6'1 nowadays.
Viper says on 6/Aug/10
No taller than 6'0.5 today, and probably more 6'0. Same as Will Smith
RampageClover 190.8cm says on 5/Aug/10
Good call Clay..that should definately put Viper in his place :)

Big Sam is 6ft2.25in, 6ft2.75in in his prime......definately 2in on Travolta in Pulp Fiction
Viper says on 2/Aug/10
Only somebody who is terrible as estimating would say that, Clay. Nice job admitting that.
Clay says on 1/Aug/10
Viper says on 23/Jul/10
LOL, If hes 5'9 than Rock is 5'11. Lets not turn this site into a complete joke.

You do a good job of that all on your own, Vipe.
Mr. R says on 29/Jul/10
dmeyer, you doing extra work in Hwood again? We should hook up. I am getting back into it.
Viper says on 29/Jul/10
LOL, you are right 184cm is absurd. Sam is looking more 183cm Max the more pics I see lately.
dmeyer says on 28/Jul/10
he looks a couple of in shorter than the rock but the rock has 1.4 to 1.5 doc martenns type while sam has 0.75 adidas he is give away 0.75 in 2cm thats a lot
RampageClover 190.8cm says on 28/Jul/10
184cm now is absurd........188cm-189cm now and 190cm-191cm peak
jtm says on 25/Jul/10
yeah viper i would say 184 now and 188 at his peak.
Alice Smith says on 24/Jul/10
sam i have been a fan for a long time and i am very pleased that your favorite film is The long kiss Goodnight i like Shaft best great supporting group and my favorite actress Miss America venessa PS I have quite a few of your films
Viper says on 23/Jul/10
LOL, If hes 5'9 than Rock is 5'11. Lets not turn this site into a complete joke.
Viper says on 23/Jul/10
Hes shorter than 6'1 Tim Henman Click Here
Viper says on 22/Jul/10
Jackson is probably not even 6'1 anymore. He was clearly shorter than 6'1 Barry Bonds back in 2002.
Anonymous says on 21/Jul/10
I call bull****. I saw him at the canada open today, stood right next to him. I'm 6'1, there is no WAY in HELL he is anything over 5'9.
Lenad says on 20/Jul/10
i dont think Jackson is over 6'2 nowadays
RampageClover 190.8cm says on 10/Jul/10
Strong 6ft2in now, weak 6ft3in peak.
anonymous says on 1/Jul/10
6'3" rock has him by a solid 2 inches. jackson is 6'1" these days. peak height= 6'2".
knowyourrolejabroni says on 28/Jun/10
he is at least 6'3" and Duane Johnson is 6'5" end of story.
James says on 28/Jun/10
6'2 at most today
Lenad says on 24/Jun/10
I buy 187cm now 188cm peak.
RampageClover 190.8cm says on 20/Jun/10
Travolta is just under 6ft1in...with good posture. He was about 2 inches under Samuel L. jackson in Pulp Fiction.
Anon says on 18/Jun/10
He stood nose-to-nose with Carrie-Anne Moss in Unthinkable. She was wearing heels, of course.
J.J. says on 13/Jun/10
Am very sorry but he looked 6'1" next to 6'3" dwayne Johnson on MTV movie awards. Dwayne might have had 1cm footwear advantage so I think Samuel is no taller than 186cm
jtm says on 10/Jun/10
travolta has never been 6'2 in his life.
mr.shad544 says on 9/Jun/10
If you watch pulp fiction Sam is taller than Travolta who is supposedly 6foot 2 inches.So someone is bull****ting in tinseltown
Hugh 190-192cm says on 5/Jun/10
186-187cm is too low. I still think he's 6ft2in and possibly a fraction over. At 61 years old he doesn't look to have lost much height
john says on 5/Jun/10
No way he's 6ft 2.. maybe 6ft 1 max.
if we talk about "room 1408" movie, in every single scene he looks about an inch shorter than Cusac who's also listed as 6ft 2(188cm). so i give him 185-6cm w/o shoes.
Art says on 6/May/10
No way Samuel L Jackson is 6'1 lol...he looks at least 6'2 next to 6'9 Antoine Walker.

luke says on 5/May/10
6ft 2. Nuff said
Alex says on 2/May/10
Ouhh yeah, Timberlake in last two months grew out by tho inches! Or he just started to use new special boots :-) . To me always looks under 6'. And samuel L Jackson is to me 186-187 in present.
J.J. says on 26/Apr/10
186cm at most if Justin Timber lake is 5'11.75" but he is more likely a full 6'1" now
daman says on 15/Apr/10
in the new movie he is in with the rock he looks alot shorter a good 2.5 inches below the rock he's shrinking like clint eastwood.
J.J. says on 15/Mar/10
look 186cm at most nowadays
Hugh 190-192cm says on 2/Mar/10
190cm peak
Rob G says on 6/Feb/10
Christiansen is self-admitted 6ft, I say Jackson had him by about 2inches, if not a little less.
James says on 6/Feb/10
He didn't look that much taller than Hayden Christenssen (usually reckoned at 6'1) in Star Wars Episode III. I'll give him 6'2, though.
John says on 3/Jan/10
I got my picture taken with Mr. Jackson in 1998 at a charity golf outing in Redmond, WA. I stand 5'10" barefoot (on the button) and there is absolutely no way that Mr. Jackson was 5" taller than me. He was wearing golf shoes (which add height) and I was in sneakers. Samuel Jackson is closer to 6'1" than 6'3".
matt966 says on 29/Dec/09
he looks 187 or 188cm,not more.
Leigh says on 23/Dec/09
Both he and Bernie Mac are the exact same height. They are approximately 6'3. I worked on a film called Soul Men. They went into wardrobe and were measured for height. Exactly 6'3. I promise you this.
Anonymous says on 16/Dec/09
I just watched "pulp fiction", and he was towering Travolta almost all the time. He also looks simular size as many 6ft4 guys. I will say he is still a 6ft3 no doubt.
Rob G says on 11/Dec/09
I see him at just under 6'2" today, but back in the day he was certainly very strong 6'2".
Hugh 191cm says on 3/Dec/09
6ft 2.75in peak and 6ft 2.25in now
rob89 says on 24/Nov/09
6'1.75-6'2 at peak and 6'.75-6'1 today IMO.
Hugh 191cm says on 18/Nov/09
6 ft 2.25 in (189cm) currently
Hugh 191cm says on 15/Nov/09
I'd say 6ft2.25 now
Hugh 191cm says on 30/Oct/09
Pretty sure hes still a solid 6ft2
Hugh 191cm says on 28/Oct/09
6ft3 in Black Snake Moan
Hugh 191cm says on 12/Oct/09
Jackson was taller than bernie Mac.
Rika says on 8/Oct/09
ON Soul Men, both looked about the same height. In some shots Bernie mac looked taller but only by half an inch. In other shots Jackson looked an inch taller.
I'd say Jackson was the taller of the two.
Hugh 191cm says on 26/Sep/09
Near 6ft3 in his prime.
Hugh 191cm says on 22/Sep/09
I buy 190cm peak. Today 188cm minimum.
Lenad says on 22/Sep/09
For a younger Sam I can buy 187cm at the lowest
Rob G says on 18/Sep/09
6'2.5" peak, 6'1.5" now
TELLEM says on 11/Sep/09
sam jackson isn't 6'2 these days, more like 6'1: Click Here

notice how 6'3 dwayne johnson is 2 inches over jackson?
Tall Guy says on 9/Sep/09
Bernie Mac appears to be at least an inch taller than Sam in Soul Men, so one of these two men is not 6'2.5"
Original says on 7/Sep/09
6'2.5 Peak.
6'1.75" actually, maybe a 6'2'.
alexiel says on 3/Sep/09
strong 185cm,maybe weak 186
derek d says on 1/Sep/09
TELLEM says on 16/Dec/08
james, there 1 inch apart...watch at :17 seconds Click Here


That part when Harvey Carteil is done helping them and leaves with the girl, is is not good for judging height. Travolta has the pavement advantage next to Jackson, also Harvey looks taller than Travolta, the pavement is all over the place in that scene.
MOF says on 28/Aug/09
Since when is Patrick Wilson 6'1"? He's actually in the 5'11" range...
Rusty says on 19/Aug/09
Looked a solid 6'3" standing next to 6'1" Patrick Wilson in Lakeview Terrace.
heightcritique says on 19/Aug/09
In the last scene of the dinner in Pulp Fiction, when Jackson and Travolta are leaving they stand next to each other which shows clearly that Jackson is maybe .5" to 1" taller than Travolta, thus Jackson is probably 6'1" if Travolta is 6".5"
Karl Karlsen says on 19/Aug/09
In pulp fiction he was 2 inches taller than Travolta. I think he is still 6'2 and in pulp fiction he was 6'2.5 (peak).

The height displayed is 100% correctly in my eyes.
dude says on 17/Aug/09
i'd say he's always been a lean 6'2 making him look taller
Hugh 191cm says on 8/Aug/09
He looked a bit taller than richard roundtree so maybe a weak 6ft3.
mel says on 6/Aug/09
I just seen shaft and when peoples was getting his mug shot, sam walked in the shot the it said he was 6'5" or 6'6" according to the measuring thing on the wall
Hugh 191cm says on 3/Aug/09
Peak 190cm. Today 188-189cm. In other words weak 6ft3 peak, strong 6ft2 now.
Danny says on 28/Jul/09
Ahleks... I just watched Pulp Fiction moments ago and at times he did look an inch or more taller than Travolta. Hard to be certain in films though, angles etc. I'd say Sam is 6ft 2 and Travolta is 6ft flat to be honest.
Ahleks says on 27/Jul/09
He didn't look one full inch taller than Travolta in Pulp Fiction. If Travolta is 6', then Jackson is listed a bit higher than he should be.
Austrian says on 3/Jul/09
hes a big guy, id buy 190 or more for him

by the way last week i saw his shoe imprints in front of that chinese theater in Hollywood, and he must have huge feet too :)

the only other imprints i saw that were comparable in size, were the ones of Steven Seagal
Lenad says on 27/Jun/09
i assume Hugh thinks 189cm min and 191cm max?
Lenad says on 25/Jun/09
In Jackie Brown he looked a solid 6ft3 like 191-192cm. Not that I think he was that tall though
Rika says on 15/Jun/09
I always saw 6'2. But now he's starting to look shorter. He isn't a solid guy so that would be the reason.
Lenad says on 15/Jun/09
187cm min 189cm max peak 186cm min 188cm max today. I actually going to put 60 dollars on a weak 6ft2 and 40 dollars on a strong 6ft1 today. 60 dollars on strong 6ft2 peak 40 dollars on weak 6ft2 peak.
Lenad says on 14/Jun/09
6ft3 seemed believable when watching Jackie Brown
Hugh 190cm says on 12/Jun/09
Did look a solid 6ft3 in Jackie Brown. I would've said 6ft3-6ft4!
I did see around 6ft3 next to Robert Carlyle in that other movie.
Hugh 190cm says on 8/Jun/09
Yeah 2 inches over Chris Tucker. I'd say 6ft2.75 peak and 6ft2.25. now. 186-187cm is bit low.
Lenad says on 5/Jun/09
Deep Blue Sea 186-187cm, Snakes on a plane 187-188cm, Pulp fiction 187-188cm, Coach Carter 188-189cm
Lenad says on 3/Jun/09
I see a weak 6ft2 man in snakes on a plan (awesome movie!)
Lenad says on 27/May/09
60 dollars on a strong 6ft1 today and 40 dollars on a weak 6ft2. He's still pretty tall at 186-187cm
name says on 25/May/09
you hvae him mixed up with Samueo Jackson that playe for the Eagles. He is 5'10". Samuel Jackson the actor is 6'2".
Hugh 190cm says on 16/May/09
I don't think he's shorter than Cusack. If anything he may even have a slight edge on him.
Hugh 190cm says on 16/May/09
I'd say today he's 190cm out of bed. Reason being is because in my opinion the human body really only shrinks 0.5 inches during the day. 6ft2.25 now and 6ft2.75 peak or maybe just maybe 191cm. I used to think he was 6ft4. He looked massive in Jackie Brown.
Yousuf 6'1" says on 15/May/09
If anybody watched the 1st XXX, something looked freakishly wrong and bad. When Vin Diesel was walking next to him there was almost 5-4 inches! He towered over Vin!
Lenad says on 12/May/09
He has looked 6ft1ish and 6ft2ish
Lenad says on 9/May/09
Next to John Cusack he looked like a solid 6ft1. Standing next to many others though he has looked like a solid 6ft2
Hugh 190cm says on 9/May/09
Anything nder 6ft2 is complete nonsense. I'd say 6ft3 peak and 189cm now.
Lenad says on 3/May/09
He could look a strong 6'2 at peak sometimes. Hell he can still at times!
Lenad says on 20/Apr/09
At peak Samuel l Jackson was most likely 187-188cm. He's pretty tall but not quite 6'3.
Jon 181cm says on 12/Apr/09
i met him waay back. solid 6ft 3in he was back then. towered over everyone. stil looks pretty tall today. i wudnt rule out 6ft 2in, even at his age.

TELLEM Travolta was really close to Jacksons height aswell I'm suprised you don't think Jackson is 5ft10.

WOW. 5'10? you can't tell height if it slapped u in the face. u throw upgraded heights like confetti. travolta could have been wearing big footwear next to jackson.
Hugh 190cm says on 11/Apr/09

TELLEM says on 10/Apr/09
Hugh 190cm says on 9/Apr/09
Maybe Travolta was genuinely close to 6ft2!

you just love boosting ppl's heights don't you?
Hugh 190cm says on 9/Apr/09
Maybe Travolta was genuinely close to 6ft2!
Hugh 190cm says on 9/Apr/09
I think Jackson is still at least 6ft2 and possibly 6ft3 peak.
Lenad says on 8/Apr/09
I'm starting to think 187-188cm at peak. He's not looking over 6'2 now but not under 6'1. Probably a strong 6ft1 today like 186cm.
Hugh 190cm says on 1/Apr/09
6ft2.5 now. and 6ft3 in his prime. He was way taller than Laurence Fishbourne in Do the Right thing.
Anonymous says on 26/Mar/09
You never know Travolta might have been standing on something in that scene.
TELLEM says on 24/Mar/09
