*Samuel L. Jackson no longer holds the title of Most Vulgar Actor in Cinema, according to a recent study by BuzzBingo.

Thanks to movies such as Superbad, Hill’s characters have cursed 376 times in total, and 22.9 times per 1,000 words uttered.

The researchers analyzed over 3,500 movie scripts and noted the average amount of swear words each actor’s characters uttered for every 1,000 words of spoken dialogue. 

Film wise, Martin Scorsese’s “The Wolf of Wall Street” ranked #1 for the total number of swear words used – 715 curses are dropped throughout the 180-minute film.

Meanwhile, Jackson is sure to drop a couple of F-bombs for his role alongside Chris Rock in the reboot of the “Saw” franchise, titled “Spiral.”

The project is being dubbed “a new chapter from the book of “Saw” and is helmed by Darren Lynn Bousman, who directed three of the most successful “Saw” films.

The screenplay is based on Rock’s concept, and the comedian also serves as executive producer and co-stars alongside Marisol Nichols and Max Minghella.

Details about the plot are still under wraps, “but it is known that Rock will play a police detective investigating some gory murders while Samuel L. Jackson will join him as his father,” Complex writes.

“I’ve been a fan of ‘Saw’ since the first film in 2004. I am excited by the opportunity to take this to a really intense and twisted new place,” said Rock in a statement in February. 

The “Saw” movies have grossed $454 million at the domestic box office and almost $1 billion worldwide.

“Jigsaw” was the last entry in the series in October 2017. 

“Spiral” opens May 15.
