View Full Version : Counting the F-Words
Zebra 3 07-28-2005, 04:34 PM (Studio Briefing) Interactive encyclopedia Wikipedia has determined that British writer/director Gary Oldman's 1997 award-winning Nil by Mouth used the F-word more times than any film in history -- 470 times in 128 minutes, or an average of 3.67 times per minute. Runner-up on the list was Martin Scorsese's 1995 gangster flick Casino with 422 F-words over 178 minutes, or 2.37 per minute. Close behind was 2002's Martin Lawrence Live: Runteldat which used 347 F-words in just 113 minutes, or 3.07 times per minute

Um.... you should know! :P
Does anybody know how many times they said the F word in Free Enterprise. I remember that film had more than I'd ever heard. Until recently, that is.

Hey!
Seriously though, what is the POINT? I mean, unless it's some sort of movie and is trying to get people in the mood that their in a certain era or a certain community, that's one thing, but just to throw them in there...it's just annoying.
Brian Damage 07-29-2005, 11:03 PM Apparently, the new movie, "The Devil's rejects" shatters the record.
560 F-words (100 minutes: 5.6 ****s/min)
Brian Damage 07-29-2005, 11:06 PM I tried to count them in Scarface, and I lost count. :)
Scarface had 218 F-words

I can see when its used to help with character development - showing super anger, a tough guy, whatever, but when its that often - its just ridiculous - nobody wants to listen to that. I mean, how much actual content can their sentences and lines carry when it's that frequent?

What about Raging Bull and Good Will Hunting? Both of those were overkill. An older movie called Against All Odds, I remember had none-stop F-words as well. (especially in the first half)

I agree, it gets to be a little much, after a while. :lol:
Brian 08-01-2005, 12:05 AM This is one of my favorite lines involving the F-word. It's from "Crazy People."
Drucker: "Paramount Pictures presents 'The Freak.' This movie won't just scare you, it will **** you up for life." I want to know how the **** the word "****" gets in the New York ****ing Times!
LucyCompanyPhan 08-01-2005, 07:13 PM I just watched Scarface today and I couldn't believe the amount of f words!
