List of films that most frequently use the word fuck

Last updated

The use of profanity in films has often been controversial, but has increased significantly in recent decades. [1] [2] The use of the word fuck in film drew particular criticism in 2005. The documentary film Fuck dealt entirely with the phenomenon. [3] The word fuck is thought to be the vulgar term used most in any film. [4]

Contents

The Hays Code banned the use of profanity outright. [5] However, the Motion Picture Association established a system of ratings to use as a guide and determine the appropriateness of the film's content in 1968. [6] In 1970, M*A*S*H became the first mainstream American film under the system to use the word fuck. [7]

The Motion Picture Association film rating system assigns a PG-13 rating if the film contains the word used once and not in the context of sex. [8] The R rating is normally required, if the film contains more than one utterance or if the word is used in a sexual context. However, there are exceptions to the rule. In some cases, filmmakers appealed the rating because their target audience might avoid all R-rated films about profanity. Censors have been more lenient about the word in films that portray historical events. The ratings system is voluntary and there is no legal requirement that filmmakers submit their films to be rated. This list of non-pornographic and English language feature films has over 150 counts for the word fuck (or one of its derivatives), ordered by the number of such uses. It does not contain spoken uses of instances that are preceded by "mother".

In terms of individual actors, Bronagh Gallagher and Joe Pesci are tied for using the word fuck. [9] In terms of individual directors, Martin Scorsese, David Ayer and Spike Lee are tied with five films on the list.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Profanity</span> Socially offensive form of language

Profanity, also known as swearing, cursing, or cussing, involves the use of notionally offensive words for a variety of purposes, including to demonstrate disrespect or negativity, to relieve pain, to express a strong emotion, as a grammatical intensifier or emphasis, or to express informality or conversational intimacy. In many formal or polite social situations, it is considered impolite, and in some religious groups it is considered a sin. Profanity includes slurs, but most profanities are not slurs, and there are many insults that do not use swear words.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Quentin Tarantino</span> American filmmaker (born 1963)

Quentin Jerome Tarantino is an American filmmaker, actor, and author. His films are characterized by stylized violence, extended dialogue often featuring much profanity, and references to popular culture. His work has earned a cult following alongside critical and commercial success; he has been named by some as the single most influential director of his generation and has received numerous awards and nominations, including two Academy Awards, two BAFTA Awards, and four Golden Globe Awards.

The Motion Picture Associationfilm rating system is used in the United States and its territories to rate a motion picture's suitability for certain audiences based on its content. The system and the ratings applied to individual motion pictures are the responsibility of the Motion Picture Association (MPA), previously known as the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) from 1945 to 2019. The MPA rating system is a voluntary scheme that is not enforced by law; films can be exhibited without a rating, although most theaters refuse to exhibit non-rated or NC-17 rated films. Non-members of the MPA may also submit films for rating. Other media, such as television programs, music and video games, are rated by other entities such as the TV Parental Guidelines, the RIAA and the ESRB, respectively.

A motion picture content rating system classifies films based on their suitability for audiences due to their treatment of issues such as sex, violence, or substance abuse, their use of profanity, or other matters typically deemed unsuitable for children or adolescents. Most countries have some form of rating system that issues determinations variously known as certifications, classifications, certificates, or ratings. Age recommendations, of either an advisory or restrictive capacity, are often applied in lieu of censorship; in some jurisdictions movie theaters may have a legal obligation to enforce restrictive ratings.

<i>Fuck</i> (2005 film) 2005 American documentary film directed by Steve Anderson

Fuck is a 2005 American documentary film by director Steve Anderson about the word "fuck". The film argues that the word is an integral part of societal discussions about freedom of speech and censorship. It examines the term from perspectives which include art, linguistics, society and comedy, and begins with a segment from the 1965 propaganda film Perversion for Profit. Scholars and celebrities analyze perceptions of the word from differing perspectives. Journalist Sam Donaldson talks about the versatility of the word, and comedian Billy Connolly states it can be understood despite one's language or location. Musician Alanis Morissette comments that the word contains power because of its taboo nature. The film features the last recorded interview of author Hunter S. Thompson before his suicide. Scholars, including linguist Reinhold Aman, journalism analyst David Shaw and Oxford English Dictionary editor Jesse Sheidlower, explain the history and evolution of the word. Language professor Geoffrey Nunberg observes that the word's treatment by society reflects changes in our culture during the 20th century.

References to Wikipedia in popular culture have been widespread. Many parody Wikipedia's openness, with individuals vandalizing or modifying articles in nonconstructive ways. Others feature individuals using Wikipedia as a reference work, or positively comparing their intelligence to Wikipedia. In some cases, Wikipedia is not used as an encyclopedia at all, but instead serves more as a character trait or even as a game, such as Wikiracing. Wikipedia has also become culturally significant with many individuals seeing the presence of their own Wikipedia entry as a status symbol.

One Day Removals uses the F word more than 320 times, the most ever in a Scottish-made film. Mark Stirton's black comedy beats the current Scottish record holder, Sweet Sixteen by Ken Loach, which uses the F word and variations 313 times. EDIT - This is incorrect, I was a Producer (Kerwin Robertson) on the film and starred in it as the guy that gets a hook through his eye. We have 440 F words in the film, we had to count them all to see if we could get a BBFC rating, which turned out to be mega expensive, so we self rated the film an 18.
