‘Wolf of Wall Street’ Breaks F-Word Record

Martin Scorsese’s “The Wolf of Wall Street” is all about excess. From orgies on a plane to cocaine and cash (or “fun coupons” as Leonardo DiCaprio’s character calls them), the financial drama thrives in taking it up a notch.

So it should be no surprise that Paramount’s R-rated film sets the all-time record for the use of the f-word.

According to Wikipedia, the word “f***” is used 506 times over “The Wolf of Wall Street’s” 180-minute running time. Previously, the record for a non-documentary was Spike Lee’s 1999 film “Summer of Sam” with 435 instances.

There are some movies that would be really good if not for all the profanity. I just don’t understand why they feel the need to throw in all the bad language. What’s the point?

‘The Blackboard Jungle’ is one of my favorites. Vic Morrow excelled as the bad boy Artie West.

The only movie I have ever seen where I thought the use of a slew of F Bombs was effective was the car rental scene in Planes Trains and Automobiles.

And Clark Griswold's complete meltdown in the car in "Vacation". Hilarious.
