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 years. [1] [2] The use of the word fuck in film draws particular criticism in 2005. The documentary Fuck dealt entirely with this phenomenon. [3] The word fuck is thought to be the vulgar term used most in American film. [4]

Contents

The 1927 Motion Picture Production Code, better known as the "Hays Code", banned the use of profanity outright. [5] It was not until 1968 that the Motion Picture Association of America established a system of ratings to use as a guide to determine the appropriateness of the film's content. [6] In 1970, M*A*S*H became the first American film to use the word fuck. [7]

The MPAA rating system typically assigns a PG-13 rating if a film contains the word used once 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 this rule. In some cases, filmmakers appealed the rating because their target audience might avoid an R-rated film. Censors have been more lenient about the word in films that portray historical events. [8] The ratings system is voluntary; there is no legal requirement that filmmakers submit their movies to be rated. [6]

This is a list of non-pornographic, English-language feature films containing at least 150 spoken uses of the word fuck (or one of its derivatives), ordered by the number of such uses.

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

Profanity 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 there are many insults that do not use swear words.

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.

<i>The Transformers: The Movie</i> 1986 animated film

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.

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.
