Why It Will Define 2017: Jackson saying "motherf***er" isn't exactly a new trick for the actor, but from the trailer alone it's clear he's going to say it a lot throughout this film, which is sure to wreak havoc on those who dare to make a drinking game out of his utterances.

The marketing for the film has done a terrific job playing up the manic chemistry between Jackson and his screen bodyguard Ryan Reynolds, and expect that single word to play heavily into why the film (hopefully) ends up being so much fun.
