I actually asked people if they knew which movie was the F-word king a long time ago. I was excited to see Tigerland as a possible champion that I didn't even know about, but then I looked at the IMDB trivia section and got a drastically smaller number: 276. Where did you get the 527 number? Did you actually count? If not, where did you hear it?
I didn't count and I don't remember where exactly I got the number. I made the list a while ago from any website that gave a number. Searching again there are still several websites that say 527. 276 seems like a more credible number. Maybe there was 527 total obscenities and someone along the way got confused?
I'll change it to 276 and a few more movies.
magnolia, good will hunting, blair witch project and raging bull all surprised me being on this list.
Actors say fuck a lot when they're improvising. I know the dialogue in Made and Blair Witch Project was nearly all improvised and most of the films on this list probably contained a fair amount.
I have no idea what the count is, but (surprisingly) Four Weddings and a Funeral contains the f-word quite a lot. Actually, that's not so surprising, as English people tend to like that word. I just find it amusing to see the English in all their finery curse like sailors.
Actually, there was an article in the Sunday Times Style Magazine that made mention of this phenomenon. It was a guide to English weddings for Americans, and it said that excessive use of the word "fuck" is just par for the course at traditional English weddings. As is a dirty old man grabbing the ladies' bottoms. As I'm going to an English wedding this Saturday, I can tell you I found the article slightly worrying.
Did a search and I could only find one reference to the number of fucks in Four Weddings: 42. Not as well documented as the others.
The English do seem to have us outclassed in cursing, in variety as well as quantity. Try to keep a count at the wedding.
Will do, but I suspect I'll lose count by the time they get to "I do". ;)
According to the trivia section for Born on the Fourth of July on IMDb. The word "fuck" is used 489 times throughout the film. Didn't seem like anything near that when i watched it.
Thanks russa. It didn't seem that prominent as opposed to Nil by Mouth where it was in every line.
I added that and a few more, including Midnight Run, Blue Collar, Bulworth & Gunner Palace, which was rated PG-13.
Here's a few more to add for you:
SLC Punk 110 times
and apparently The Devil's Rejects uses fuck 56- times!!! I haven't seen it, but that just sounds like poor writing to me.
They've got this list at Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_ordered_by_uses_of_the_word_%...
I noticed my typo, Devil's Rejects should be 560.
Thanks for the additions. I haven't seen Devil's Rejects either. It could be poor writing or it could just be realistic.
Wikipedia caught me out on three counts, but I've still got the most complete list of fucks.
hmm.. according to Kids-in-Mind.com, Devil's Rejects only has 175 F-words and derivatives (down at the bottom), which seems more probable.
Ah yes, I've been to that site before. I love their little "Message" section, an attempt to summarize what the movie is saying into a brief synopsis. It's entertaining to watch them really stretch to find a message - for example, the message of Pulp Fiction is apparently "Life is random," and Wild Wild West's message is simply "Good triumphs over evil once again."
So if anyone wants to take part in this off-topic discussion, what do you think is the most messageless movie of the past ten years or so? What movie would really make it impossible to find any sort of point?
[Note: I don't mean to imply that Pulp Fiction fits these criteria. I just don't think its message is "Life is random."]
When in doubt I'll take the lower number. Thanks.
what about the 2005 movie "London" with Jason Statham, Chris Evans, Jessica Biel...it has over 300 or so
