20 Things You Somehow Missed In Jackie Brown

16. Samuel L. Jackson Says "Motherf**ker" More Times Than In Any Other Movie

Samuel L. Jackson has said the word "motherf**ker" literally hundreds of times throughout his career, enough that the word has basically become his catchphrase and even been joked about in his Marvel Cinematic Universe work.

But it's Pulp Fiction which saw Jackson truly make an art form out of the word, where he said it an impressive 26 times.

Yet for Jackson's subsequent collaboration with Tarantino in Jackie Brown, the pair evidently sought to out-do themselves on that front. And that they certainly did.

Throughout the film, Jackson's Ordell Robbie says "motherf**ker" a stonking 37 times, easily topping Pulp Fiction as the most times he's said the word in a single movie - a record he holds to this very day, in fact.

Jackson does such a superb job of making every utterance feel both organic and unique that it's easy to forget he says it quite so much across the film's 154-minute runtime.
