We explore some of Wikipedia’s oddities in our 6,286,766-week series, Wiki Wormhole.
What it’s about: Fudge! For a long stretch of movie history, profanity was banned by the Hays Code, so it wasn’t until 1970 that M*A*S*H became the first (non-pornographic) American film to use the word “fuck.” Even then, the word was considered taboo and used sparingly. But here in the 21st century, we say whatever the fuck we want, and Wikipedia lists 138 movies that use the F-word 150 times or more (and tracks “fucks per minute,” ranging from .92 to ten times that amount (in fairness, that 9.2 score comes from Fuck , a documentary about the word itself and its place in the culture).
Biggest controversy: Astonishingly, impossibly, Samuel L. Jackson, the Bad Motherfucker himself, doesn’t make the top 30. He’s certainly on the list, appearing in Pulp Fiction (31), Do The Right Thing (33, although he doesn’t curse in the film), True Romance (39), and The 51st State (81), but somehow an actor for whom “motherfucker” is practically a catchphrase only appears four times. Part of that is the actor’s transition from hard-R indie films in the ’90s to the squeaky-clean MCU of the ’10s. Back in 1994, Pulp Fiction ’s foul language was still shocking, and its 265 fucks ranked it only behind Reservoir Dogs and Goodfellas , but it’s been surpassed by a fuckload of movies in the years since.
Strangest fact: SpongeBob: Sponge On the Run ranks surprisingly high on the list. (Okay, we’re kidding.) The only mildly strange thing about the list is how many screenwriters decided to go for a round number, as 8 Mile , 22 Jump Street , A Bronx Tale , Dysfunktional Family , Skin , and This Is The End all apparently said “fuck” exactly 200 times.
Music+ These are the pinnacle of Apple AirPod design, and feature active noise cancelling, a transparency mode for when you need to hear what’s around you, spatial audio for accuracy, adaptive EQ, and are even sweat resistant.
Thing we were happiest to learn: Four-letter-words are the great equalizer. Era-defining hits like Goodfellas , direct-to-streaming B movies like The Outpost , stand-up concert films like Eddie Murphy Raw , goofy comedies like Hot Tub Time Machine , respected arthouse flicks like Magnolia — saying “fuck” every 45 seconds is the one thing that brings us all together.
Thing we were unhappiest to learn: The MPAA ratings are just as arbitrary as you think they are. While PG-13 movies are famously allowed exactly one “fuck,” the ratings board will bend that rule if the film portrays historical events, like the presidential debate in which Martin van Buren invited William Henry Harrison to “shut the fuck up, you fucking geriatric pig-fucker.” (Don’t get mad at us, this is the historical record speaking.) But filmmakers can and do appeal the ratings board, “because their target audience might avoid an R-rated film.” So, essentially, you can’t use more than one “fuck” in a PG-13 movie unless you really want to.
Also noteworthy: The movies at the top of the list aren’t exactly putting up a fair fight. As we mentioned, the documentary Fuck is high on the list, but it’s actually second to Swearnet: The Movie , a 2014 comedy in which Trailer Park Boys stars Mike Smith, John Paul Tremblay, and Robb Wells play themselves, and decide to create what Wikipedia describes as, “a fully uncensored internet network.” What an “internet network” is and why saying “fuck” would be considered shocking on the vast pornography archive that is the internet is not explained, but the film received both an NC-17 rating from the MPAA and an 18 out of 100 on Metacritic, so clearly whatever they were going for didn’t succeed at anything beyond getting them the top spot on this list. (Take this movie and the documentary out of the running, and Martin Scorcese’s The Wolf Of Wall Street is the king, with 569 fucks).
Best link to elsewhere on Wikipedia: For those of you who are middle school students just reading Wikipedia so you can underline all the dirty words and snicker, there’s a whole category for sexual slang . It’s an odd collection of slang terms for various body parts and sexual maneuvers, but also baseball metaphors , profanity in Mandarin and Georgian and no other languages, phrases like “mile high club” and “Netflix and chill,” and George Carlin’s list of Seven Dirty Words You Can’t Say On Television.
Further Down the Wormhole: It should come as no surprise that Quentin Tarantino once ruled this list, as in 1994 the top five were Goodfellas , Reservoir Dogs , Pulp Fiction , Do The Right Thing , and True Romance (which Oliver Stone directed, but Tarantino wrote all the “fucks” (and other less important words of dialogue) for. But Tarantino actually directed two and a quarter films on the list, as Four Rooms , a 1995 film made up of four vignettes set in the same hotel, ranks at No. 100. The other segments were directed by fellow ’90s indie film luminaries Robert Rodriguez, Alexandre Rockwell, and Allison Anders. Anders’ segment, “The Missing Ingredient,” concerns a coven of witches convening in the hotel, uses the “Theme From Bewitched ” as part of its score.
Bewitched has recently re-asserted itself into the national consciousness as one of WandaVision ’s main influences, but the classic sitcom is old enough to have started its run in an era (1964), when TV shows were still beholden to only one or two advertisers. Bewitched ’s only commercials were for Chevrolet and Quaker Oats , both of which got prominent product placement. Half a century later, Chevy is still GM’s flagship brand, while Quaker is now part of the PepsiCo empire. Pepsi also owns Frito-Lay, Gatorade, Tropicana… and lasting resentment from a 1992 contest that awarded its grand prize to 800,000 people. We’ll catch Pepsi Number Fever next week.

Top 10 Arnold Schwarzenegger movies

It probably says something about the state of English-speaking society that there are people who actually count occurrences of the word ‘fuck’ in films. We’ve been using it since 1475 or even earlier, but it still has the power to shock. It was first used in a film in 1967. Since then it’s been a free-for-all, quite frankly, as numerous films have attempted, and succeeded, to desensitise audiences to the shocking effects of the F-word.
Cementing Martin Scorsese as the undisputed Father of Fuckage is his latest film, The Wolf of Wall Street, with a staggering 506 occurrences of the word ‘fuck’ and its derivatives. It’s inspired this timely list of the top ten:
#Fuck: 297
Minutes: 105
Fuck / minute: 2.82
There are two important measures here, really. The number of uses, and the frequency of them. Where the number is concerned, Carnahan’s 2002 crime drama only manages a paltry 297 uses. Factor in the relatively short duration of the film, however, and we get an impressive 2.82 uses per minute. Ray Liotta starred, and we’ll probably meet him again in this list.
#Fuck: 300
Minutes: 146
Fuck / minute: 2.05
Told you: There he is again, Ray Liotta, in Scorsese’s first appearance in this list. Regarded as one of the greatest ever gangster movies, on its release Goodfellas held the record for ‘F’ usage with 300, but now languishes in 9th. How we’ve moved on…
#Fuck: 315
Minutes: 122
Fuck / minute: 2.58
There’s a pattern emerging: They’re all crime films. We tend to swear when we’re under stress, and a life of crime must be very stressful, after all. In Kramer’s version, there’s a drug deal that goes wrong, a shoot-out, some deaths, a missing gun, more deaths, a stabbing, a suicide, and a car crash. SPOILER ALERT: There’s also lots of swearing.
#Fuck: 318
Minutes: 99
Fuck / minute: 3.21
Time for a departure: A non-American film enters the fray. This one’s British, but there the departure ends, as it’s another crime film. While British films tend to busy themselves with more everyday subjects than their Hollywood counterparts, this one ignores that trend by containing a number of revenge-killings, and (animal lovers look away now), the beheading of a poodle.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6A3eW0VmCg
#Fuck: 326
Minutes: 109
Fuck / minute: 2.99
Surely time for a romantic comedy ? No. Cops and gangsters. Sorry.
#Fuck: 367
Minutes: 118
Fuck / minute: 3.11
At last, the first appearance in this list of Justin Timberlake. It was only a matter of time. Disappointingly, this is not a film about a particularly assertive canine. It’s another crime drama, based on the true story of a kidnapping and murder.
#Fuck: 422
Minutes: 178
Fuck / minute: 2.4
Scorsese had, by 1995, directed another couple of films since Goodfellas, but something had clearly been niggling at him. To scratch the itch, he got Joe Pesci in to keep the ‘F’ count up to a respectable level and get him in this top ten a second time.
#Fuck: 435
Minutes: 128
Fuck / minute: 3.34
Here’s another British film, and this one tops the list in terms of frequency of usage, with an impressively profane 3.34 fpm. It’s not technically a crime film either, so wins the prize for variety.
#Fuck: 435
Minutes: 142
Fuck / minute: 3.06
Based on the true story of a serial killer, this film was described in a review as “…the closest Lee has yet come to Scorsese territory!”. Speaking of whom…
#Fuck: 506
Minutes: 179
Fuck / minute: 2.83
In with a bullet at number 1… Or not with a bullet? Irony of ironies, the man famous for his sweary crime dramas tops the list of films featuring the most frequent usage of the word ‘fuck’ with a black comedy starring Leonardo DiCaprio. You couldn’t make it up.
It’ll take some gumption to shoehorn more than 506 ‘fucks’ into any film; will it come as a shock when it happens?

‘Uncut Gems’ Uses The Seventh Most ‘Fucks’ In Cinematic History
Updated on 30th July 2021 by Garry Lu
We’ve made no effort to hide how excited we are for the Safdie Brother’s upcoming Uncut Gems starring Adam Sandler. Especially considering the fact that the Jack & Jill actor is apparently being pegged to win an Oscar for his performance. And in all this hype comes an interesting piece of trivia.
As it so happens, Uncut Gems ranks number seven in cinematic history for most use of the word “fuck” throughout the duration of the film. According to sources , it clocks in a total of 408 f-hits across two hours and fifteen minutes . That’s roughly a single “fuck” every twenty seconds.
Uncut Gems edges out Martin Scorsese’s Casino in this esteemed leaderboard, which features 422 total “fucks”. At the very top of this leaderboard is Swearnet: The Movie with 935 instances of the word. The next scripted film to follow that is Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street at 569 “fucks” across three hours.
