| 1 | ->''"If I were human, I believe my response would be... ''Go to Hell''."'' |
| 2 | -->-- '''Spock''', ''Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry'' |
| 3 | ---- |
| 4 | * ''Film/TenCloverfieldLane'' contains exactly one F-bomb, dropped by the main character near the very end. And '''[[TraumaCongaLine BOY]]''', [[EarnYourHappyEnding has she earned it.]] |
| 5 | * ''Film/FourteenOhEight'' uses almost no curse words, save for this plot-summarizing line: |
| 6 | --> '''Olin''': It's an evil fucking room. |
| 7 | * In ''Film/TwoThousandTwelve'', a very desperate Jackson Curtis tells his wife and ''kids'' to "get in the fucking car!", as their house crumbles around them. |
| 8 | * In ''Film/TwentyEightDays'', the writers had to deliberate over the best place for Sandra Bullock to use the F word, it being a PG-13 movie an' all. In the end, they struck "Fuck Mr. Rogers" and went with the more perfunctory scene in which Bullock's character defends herself in a group circle. "Would you please just BACK THE FUCK OFF?!" |
| 9 | * ''Film/ThreeHundredRiseOfAnEmpire'': "You fight harder than you fuck!" |
| 10 | * ''Film/FiveHundredDaysOfSummer'' is rated PG-13, so it has to keep its language relatively friendly. When Tom [[spoiler:is in the throes of depression after Summer leaves him]], he tends to take his anger out via "poetry" |
| 11 | ** "RosesAreRedVioletsAreBlue; [[SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion Fuck you, whore"]]. |
| 12 | * ''Film/The6thDay'': |
| 13 | ** Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger's character Adam gets in a hilarious one: |
| 14 | --->'''Adam:''' If you really believe that, you should clone yourself while you're still alive.\ |
| 15 | '''Drucker:''' And why is that? So I can understand your unique perspective?\ |
| 16 | '''Adam:''' No. So you can go fuck yourself! |
| 17 | ** Later in the film Drucker's dead body falls over that of his own clone in a very suggestive position. Arnold's response: "[[BondOneliner When I said you should screw yourself, I didn't mean for you to take it literally.]]" |
| 18 | %%A |
| 19 | * ''Film/AbrahamLincolnVampireHunter'' has one of these courtesy of [[DiscOneFinalBoss Barts]], the vampire who killed Lincoln's mother, when he realizes that Abe's come back for a rematch. |
| 20 | -->"Abraham ''fucking'' Lincoln." |
| 21 | * [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in ''Film/{{Accepted}}'': [[TheDanza Ben Lewis]] uses Shit many times during the meeting, and he also says "Fucking A!" Because Film/{{Accepted}} is rated PG-13, he's not allowed to say Fuck anymore, but, when he delivers the Movies [[AnAesop Aesop]], it's [[SoundEffectsBleep beeped out.]] This arguably makes it even funnier. |
| 22 | * ''Film/AdventuresInBabysitting'': A SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for the protagonist in this exchange: |
| 23 | -->'''Gang Leader:''' Don't fuck with the Lords of Hell.\ |
| 24 | '''Chris Parker:''' '''Don't fuck''' with the babysitter. |
| 25 | * In ''Film/AirForceOne'', the BigBad played by Creator/GaryOldman drops the f-bomb twice, including the scene where the plane is about to land at Ramstein Air Force Base, but he won't allow it: "GET THE FUCK IN THE AIR!" |
| 26 | * Sonny Liston, having had enough of UsefulNotes/MuhammadAli's incessant trash-talking in the film ''Film/{{Ali}}'', says, "Keep talkin'... I'ma FUCK you up!" This brings Ali up short for a moment. |
| 27 | * ''Film/{{Aliens}}'' actually has a few of these, all from different characters. |
| 28 | -->'''Ripley:''' [[TranquilFury Get away]] [[MamaBear from her]], you '''''bitch'''''! [[note]]Note this ''isn't'' an example of ThisIsForEmphasisBitch[[/note]] |
| 29 | * ''Film/AlitaBattleAngel'': Alita lets out one of these at the end of her second fight with Grewishka. |
| 30 | -->'''Alita''': Fuck your mercy! |
| 31 | * ''Film/AllMyLovedOnes'': There's almost no swearing in the movie, except when the Silberstein brothers fondly remember their dirty parody of a nursery rhyme they loved screaming as children, but Sam uses one swear word when he calls his brother Jakub, David's father, on the phone: "We're fucked, bro. At least save David." Then he promptly hangs up to Jakub's confusion. He refers to the possibility of contacting Mr Winton (who's saving Czechoslovak Jewish children) and getting David to Great Britain. [[spoiler:Then, driven to suicide, Sam shoots himself.]] |
| 32 | * Angela's use of one in ''Film/AmericanBeauty'' marks the point where we first start to see her true nature. |
| 33 | * ''Film/AnchormanTheLegendOfRonBurgundy'': "Go fuck yourself, San Diego." Hilariously, the TV edit censors it to another F-strike, mainly because the F-strike was plot-relevant in the first place: "You're a dirty bitch, San Diego." The unrated version has a ClusterFBomb in the following scene for contrasting humor. |
| 34 | * ''Film/Apollo13'' masterfully deploys this trope to ramp up the tension. |
| 35 | -->'''Lovell:''' I've trained for the Fra Mauro Highlands, and this is FLIGHT SURGEON HORSESHIT, Deke!\ |
| 36 | '''Marilyn:''' Don't give me that NASA Bullshit! I want to know what's happening with my husband!!!\ |
| 37 | '''Haise:''' This piece of shit is gonna get you home! Because that's all we've got left, Jack! |
| 38 | * Billy Bob Thornton's character in ''Film/Armageddon1998'' is a calm, subdued NASA director. During the mission, when the drillers are having trouble drilling to the necessary distance in order to plant their bomb, the president orders the bomb to be remote detonated from mission control, which would essentially waste the bomb and doom the Earth to destruction. As one of the military generals the president has sent in prepares to detonate the bomb, Thornton's character lets his disapproval be known: "This is one order you shouldn't follow and you '''FUCKING''' know it!" |
| 39 | * Performed calmly and elegantly by arguably the most revered Shakespeare actor of the past century, Sir John Gielgud, as Hobson the butler in ''Film/Arthur1981'': |
| 40 | -->'''Executive:''' He gets all that money. Pays his family back by bein' a stinkin' drunk. It's enough ta make ya sick.\ |
| 41 | '''Hobson:''' I really wouldn't know, sir. I'm just a servant. On the other hand... go screw yourself. |
| 42 | * ''Film/AsterixAndObelixMeetCleopatra'' is mostly good, clean fun, but does manage to sneak in a swear at the very end of the movie. After Caesar spends several minutes bullying his way into the celebratory party for the new palace, Otto finally lets him in... then mutters "asshole" under his breath. |
| 43 | * The ''Film/AustinPowers'' series doesn't have a whole lot of swearing, making it more effective in ''Goldmember'' when Dr. Evil responds to his unexpected capture in the first act with a simple "...shit." |
| 44 | ** This was a CallBack to a similar situation in the first film. Dr. Evil outlines an elaborate plan to blackmail the Royal Family, but Number Two shoots it down. Dr. Evil, not to be deterred, follows up with a second even more elaborate plan involving lasers and cancer the world over... but Number Two shoots it down. Dr. Evil's response? "Shit." |
| 45 | * [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep The Drover]] in ''Film/{{Australia}}'' sticks to the fairly mild "crikey" for most of the film. After Darwin is bombed by the Japanese and [[spoiler: he's told his lover is dead]], he goes into the ruin of a bar for a drink. When the barkeep refuses to let the Drover's aborigine friend in he snaps "Just serve the ''fucking'' drink." |
| 46 | * ''Film/{{Avatar}}'': |
| 47 | ** A well-timed cuss word is used when Tsu'tey figures out that [[spoiler:Jake and Neytiri have had sex]] in the middle of an already-volatile situation, Dr. Augustine responds in the following fashion: |
| 48 | ---> '''Tsu'tey''': [[spoiler: You mated with this woman?!]] |
| 49 | ---> '''Dr. Augustine''': Oh, ''shit''. |
| 50 | ** This one's made even more effective because everyone present in the scene is using Na'vi mannerisms by this point, but Augustine "breaks character" to deliver her curse with a very noticeably human tone and gesture. |
| 51 | ** When Jake scares off the giant... rhino... thing. |
| 52 | ---> '''Jake''': Yeah that's right, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch]], run back on to mommy. |
| 53 | * Meanwhile, the sequel ''Film/AvatarTheWayOfWater'' has a straight example delivered towards the end by [[spoiler:Spider, when he discovers his birth father Quaritch’s avatar is still alive and lets out a very exasperated "FUCK!" before deciding to save him.]] |
| 54 | * In ''Film/TheAvengers1998'', a character at one point drops an F Bomb...but it's quite clearly been [[SameLanguageDub dubbed in]], as it sounds nothing like the character's previously heard voice and the actor's lips do not move. This was done to [[AvoidTheDreadedGRating bump the film up]] from a PG to a PG-13, in hopes to draw fans to the film (which had been postponed from its original release date due to terrible test screenings, and was subsequently NotScreenedForCritics). |
| 55 | * Creator/AlecBaldwin uses a perfectly-timed F bomb in ''Film/TheAviator''. |
| 56 | * ''Film/AVPAlienVsPredator'' has this line: "It's a bomb. Well, I hope it blows up every fucking one of them!" |
| 57 | %%B |
| 58 | * [[SophisticatedAsHell Normally eloquent]] scientist [[TheProfessor Dr. Emmett Brown]] chimes in with probably [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments the funniest line]] from ''Film/BackToTheFuture1'': |
| 59 | -->'''Dr. Emmett Brown''': If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits eighty-eight miles per hour... [[SophisticatedAsHell you're gonna see some serious shit]]. |
| 60 | ** Also discussed when George asks Marty if he really needs to swear when he confronts him in the car with Lorraine ("HeyYou! Get your damn hands off her."), which sets up George's SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome against Biff. "Yes, George, goddammit, ''swear''!" |
| 61 | * ''Film/{{The Batman|2022}}'' has Commissioner Pete Savage say this to Batman during the crime scene, which is the only time the word is used. |
| 62 | -->'''Commissioner Pete Savage:''' Oh, Jesus. This must be your favorite night of the year, huh, pal? Happy fuckin' Halloween. |
| 63 | * In ''Film/BattleLosAngeles'', Nantz gets one very rousing example when he encourages men to "show those bastards who they're fuckin' with" during an alien invasion. |
| 64 | * ''Film/{{Beaches}}'' - The only F-bomb in the movie spoken by a dying character. |
| 65 | -->[[spoiler:Hillary]] "Just leave me alone, okay? That's all I want: To be left fucking alone! |
| 66 | * ''Film/{{Beauty and the Beast|2017}}'': In the scene where Belle discovers the Enchanted Rose, Beast catches her near it and justifiably yells at her for it, given the Enchanted Rose is a vital component of the curse he's trying to get her to break. |
| 67 | -->'''Beast''': Do you realize what you could have done?! [[NiceJobBreakingItHero You could have damned us all!]] |
| 68 | ** In a deleted scene, [=LeFou=] is hiding inside the castle's bathroom, where he notices that one of the servants has been turned into a toilet and is ready to spray toilet water on him. Realizing this too late, [=LeFou=] nearly says 'shit' though this was cut off when the scene cuts up to him running out from the bathroom screaming as he is soaked wet. |
| 69 | -->'''[=LeFou=]''': Oh, [[CurseCutShort shi]]...... |
| 70 | * The film ''Film/BeCool'' (which was rated PG-13) used a Precision F Strike in the very beginning to lampshade the ratings system. After telling a friend that a movie can't have more than one F-bomb or else it gets an R rating (contrary to popular belief, this is not exactly true), Creator/JohnTravolta's character gives his opinion of that rule: "Fuck that." |
| 71 | ** The UK's BBFC ratings had/have a similar rule, in that the F word can be used twice and qualify for a 12 certificate, but any more gets a 15. In 2012 it was changed to four uses. |
| 72 | * ''Film/{{Beetlejuice}}'' (Which was only rated PG by the way): "Nice fucking model!" |
| 73 | * Creator/BillCosby - a famously clean talking comedian - uses one in one of his most famous routines. From ''Bill Cosby: Himself'': |
| 74 | -->I said to a guy, "Tell me, what is it about cocaine that makes it so wonderful," and he said, "Because it intensifies your personality." I said, "Yes, but what if you're an asshole?" |
| 75 | * ''Film/BlackMask'': [[CowboyCop Inspector Shek]] cusses a lot in the film's English dub, for some reason. |
| 76 | --> '''Inspector Shek''': "Stop talking and just kick the motherfucker's ass, would you? " |
| 77 | * In ''Film/BlackSwan'', the shy, sexually repressed Nina swears only once, to shock her overbearing mother, Erica. |
| 78 | -->'''Erica:''' What else have you been doing? |
| 79 | -->'''Nina:''' Oh, you want to know their names? |
| 80 | -->'''Erica:''' You need to sleep this off. |
| 81 | -->'''Nina:''' No, there were two. There was Tom, there was Jerry. |
| 82 | -->'''Erica:''' Be quiet, Nina! |
| 83 | -->'''Nina:''' And I fucked them both! |
| 84 | -->'''Erica:''' SHUT YOUR MOUTH! |
| 85 | * ''Film/BladeRunner'' has one exquisite F-bomb in most versions, and another strong profanity in its initial release: |
| 86 | ** Android Roy Batty, confronting his maker and aware he was designed to expire after 4 years, says calmly and evenly, "I want more life, ''fucker''." |
| 87 | ** Earlier in the film, in versions with Rick Deckard's narration, Deckard gets one when he compares Bryant to Jim Crow-era police officers and pulls no punches in his comparison: "'Skinjobs'. That's what Bryant called Replicants. In history books, he's the kind of cop who used to call black men 'niggers'." |
| 88 | * In ''Film/TheBlindSide'' when [[spoiler: Leigh Ann is facing down a drug dealer while looking for Michael.]] |
| 89 | -->'''Leigh Ann:''' No, you hear ''me'', bitch! |
| 90 | * In ''Film/BlueVelvet'' almost ''every'' f-word is said by [[SirSwearsALot Frank Booth]] except for one...and that's someone just ''repeating what he said''. |
| 91 | * In ''Film/BridgetJonesDiary'', Bridget's mum realises her new lover is a nasty piece of work when he shouts, "Careful, you ham-fisted cow!" The original audio had "cunt", which is still audible in the DVD commentary track. |
| 92 | * In ''Film/TheBrothersBloom'', Bang Bang, a character who says almost nothing throughout the entire film, uses one of her few lines to simply say "Fuck me" when the gang accidentally causes a huge explosion. |
| 93 | * ''Film/BruceAlmighty'' gets in its "one F-word to avoid the dreaded R rating" when Bruce shouts "back to you, ''fuckers''!" during a live newscast. |
| 94 | * ''Film/{{Bullitt}}'': The only profanity in the film occurs in a brief exchange near the end. According to [=IMDB=], this was actually the first uncensored appearance of this word in a major film. |
| 95 | -->'''Senator Chalmers:''' Frank, we must all compromise.\ |
| 96 | '''Lt. Bullitt:''' Bullshit. |
| 97 | %%C |
| 98 | * Agent Hanratty in ''Film/CatchMeIfYouCan'' has one complete with perfect deadpan deliver. |
| 99 | -->"Wanna hear a joke?"\ |
| 100 | "Uhh... sure. Yeah."\ |
| 101 | "Knock knock."\ |
| 102 | (eagerly) "Who's there?"\ |
| 103 | (beat) "Go fuck yourself." |
| 104 | * In the PG-13 rated ''Film/{{Cellular}}'', Mooney finally reaches the end of his rope with people calling his retirement business a beauty parlor. "It's a day spa, you fuck!" |
| 105 | * In ''Film/{{Changeling}}'', this is important: [[spoiler:Saying "Fuck you and the horse you rode in on" shows her decision to fight for her son whatever the cost.]] |
| 106 | * Both double subverted and played for drama in ''Film/AChristmasStory''. In the former case, Ralphie as a child [[LastSecondWordSwap nearly drops the F-bomb only to replace it with "fudge"]], but then the narrator (Ralphie as an adult) states that he [[NarrativeProfanityFilter actually said]] "'''''the''''' word; the '[[BuffySpeak F-dash-dash-dash]]' word; the queen-mother of dirty words." In the latter case, Ralphie is worried (and rightfully so) about what his punishment will be ("The guillotine? Hanging?"). An ExaggeratedTrope in its own right. [[spoiler:He gets soap in his mouth, and although he'd heard the word from his father, he goes on to tell his mother that he heard it from his friend Schwartz.]] |
| 107 | ** Later, when Ralphie decodes Little Orphan Annie’s message, [[spoiler:which turns out to be “Be sure to drink your Ovaltine,”]] he lets slip “Son of a bitch!” |
| 108 | * ''Film/TheChroniclesOfRiddick'': "Give me your soul." "Fuck you!" |
| 109 | * ''Film/{{Circle}}'': The Old White Lady gets only one line right before College Guy is eliminated after he suggests killing everyone over not just 70, but 50 or perhaps even 40 years of age. |
| 110 | -->'''''Fuck you.''''' |
| 111 | * In ''Film/{{Coneheads}}'', the usually eloquently sesquipedalian Beldar casually lets one slip: |
| 112 | -->'''Beldar:''' Take my car, its re-enforced alloy superstructure is far superior to that of your broken-down, rusted-out shit box. |
| 113 | * ''Film/CrimsonTide'' features a fantastic example, when Creator/GeneHackman and Creator/DenzelWashington are having a disagreement and talking over each other, during which Hackman's character appears polite, calm and rational, but finally snaps, "Mr Hunter. I've made a decision. I'm Captain of this boat. NOW SHUT THE FUCK UP!" |
| 114 | * Even ''Series/SiskelAndEbert'' considered this trope to be hilarious in the film ''Film/{{Critters}}'', where a couple of foot-tall alien furballs converse in "Critterese" regarding some humans, with the translation appearing as subtitles: |
| 115 | -->'''Critter #1:''' They have weapons.\ |
| 116 | '''Critter #2:''' [[TemptingFate So what?]]\ |
| 117 | ''[BLAM! A shotgun blast splatters Critter #2 across the landscape.]''\ |
| 118 | '''Critter #1:''' Fuck! ''[runs off]'' |
| 119 | %%D |
| 120 | * ''Film/TheDarkKnight'': |
| 121 | ** [[spoiler:Gordon]] saying "We've got you, you son of a bitch" upon capturing [[spoiler:ComicBook/TheJoker]], is a good example. |
| 122 | ** Earlier in that scene, after Batman ''doesn't'' [[StrikeMeDownWithAllOfYourHatred hit him with the Batpod]], the Joker mouths the F-word, though it isn't audible. Blink and you'll miss it. |
| 123 | ** Listen closely during the IMAX prologue and you can hear Grumpy let out a muffled "What the fuck!?" after getting tagged in the shoulder by the bank manager. |
| 124 | ** Listen to Gordon when he tries to stop a poisoned Commissioner Loeb from falling. You can hear him yell "Oh shit!" |
| 125 | ** The novelization has Gordon yell "Goddammit!" after it's brought to his attention that the Joker had escaped from the police station and destroyed it. |
| 126 | ** From ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'': "You idiots... ''you sons of bitches!''" |
| 127 | *** During the stock exchange attack, someone says the F word in shock. |
| 128 | * In ''Film/DateNight'', Phil (Creator/SteveCarell) gets more and more tired of looking at the perpetually shirtless Mark Wahlberg. While asking him for some assistance before the climax, he ends by tearfully saying "And would you please, for the love of god, put on a fucking shirt?" |
| 129 | * ''Film/DawnOfTheDead1978'', Peter and Steven are up on the roof watching the bikers come roaring down the hill and into the parking lot. Steven lets out a "Holy Shit" as he realizes it's more than just three bikers and that everything they've worked for is about to be taken away. |
| 130 | * ''Film/DayOfTheDead1985'': Captain Rhodes wants to know what the fuck you're doing with his time. |
| 131 | * Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse: |
| 132 | ** In ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'', Franchise/{{Batman}} lets out a dejected "[[OhCrap Oh shit!]]" after the [[CoolPlane Batwing]] is shot down by Doomsday's EyeBeams, and Bruce finds himself trapped in the wreckage as Doomsday lines up another shot. |
| 133 | ** ''Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague'' marks the first time Batman uses the F-word in a film, in the BadFuture scene where he makes an unlikely alliance with ComicBook/TheJoker, of all people. |
| 134 | --->'''Batman:''' You know, it's funny. That you would talk about people who died in my arms. Because when I held Harley Quinn, and she was bleeding and dying, she begged me, with her last breath, that when I killed you - and make no mistake, I will ''fucking'' kill you - that I'll do it slow! I'm gonna honor that promise. |
| 135 | ** The end of ''Film/{{The Flash|2023}}'' has Barry Allen drop the F-bomb once he sees [[spoiler:a different version of Bruce Wayne played by Creator/GeorgeClooney]]. |
| 136 | --->'''Barry:''' Who the fuck is this? |
| 137 | * ''Film/DeepImpact'' has two in separate scenes. The first is early in the movie when Jenny Lerner is interviewing Senator Rittenhouse's assistant who says that his sudden retirement (metaphorically) "fucked me". The second comes later when Tulchinsky drops an f-bomb while trying to convince Tanner to go after Gus Partenza who's just been blown off the surface of the comet and into space. |
| 138 | * ''Film/DemolitionMan'' has this exchange between a reporter and the main protagonist, [[Creator/SylvesterStallone Det. John Spartan]], after Spartan saved a young girl being held hostage. |
| 139 | -->'''Reporter''': How do you justify destroying a 7 million dollar mini-mall to save a girl who's ransom was only 25,000 dollars?\ |
| 140 | '''Little Girl''' (as Spartan is carrying her out in his arms): Fuck you, lady!\ |
| 141 | '''Spartan''': Good answer! |
| 142 | * ''Film/TheDevilsRejects'', the f-bomb king, has one precision f-strike made all the sweeter by the fact it actually ''lampshades'' the f-strike itself! |
| 143 | -->'''Adam Banjo''': ''(bleeding to death)'' Fuck... you...\ |
| 144 | '''Otis B. Driftwood''': That's what they all say. "Fuck you!" Well it ain't gonna save you. It don't scare me none and it don't suddenly make you a fucking hero. |
| 145 | * ''Franchise/DieHard'': |
| 146 | ** ''Film/LiveFreeOrDieHard'' ''almost'' had [=McClane's=] catchphrase "Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker", but like the above, it was [[CurseCutShort censored by a gunshot]]. The Director's Cut left it in, and it's hugely satisfying. |
| 147 | ** A beautiful precision strike amid a cluster of F-bombs: [[Film/DieHardWithAVengeance Suppose you're carjacked. Suppose you're standing in the rain, watching the two carjackers drive off in your Mercedes. Suppose the Mercedes suddenly stops and one of the carjackers rolls down the window. Now, what in the world could he possibly have to say to you? Oh, I don't know, how about ...]] |
| 148 | --->'''Zeus Carver:''' Hey, who was the twenty-first president?\ |
| 149 | '''Carjack victim:''' ''Go fuck yourself!'' |
| 150 | ** The TV edit? A quite hilariously dubbed-in "Go take a hike!" |
| 151 | * From ''Film/DodgeballATrueUnderdogStory'', "Spare me... I won that tournament... fuckin' Creator/ChuckNorris!" |
| 152 | * ''Film/DonnieDarko'' was rated R and therefore made few attempts to limit its "fuck"-ing, however it still features two prime examples of precisely-used F bombs. |
| 153 | ** The first occurs early in the film, while the Darko family is eating dinner. Donnie and Elizabeth engage in a heated argument, in which they use remarks like "fuck-ass" and "suck a fuck." Even more comical than the fact that this is all taking place at the dinner table is the youngest Darko's response. |
| 154 | --->'''Samantha:''' What's a fuck-ass? |
| 155 | ** The second incident happens during a school assembly featuring the motivational speaker Jim Cunningham. After Cunningham's presentation, he takes questions from audience members, whom he repeatedly insists are troubled only by their own fear. Finding these suggestions preposterous, Donnie stands up as if he plans to ask a question, but instead gives his own take on Jim's advice. Jim Cunningham then calls Donnie a "troubled and confused young man." |
| 156 | --->'''Donnie:''' You're right, actually. I am pretty-- I'm, I'm pretty troubled and I'm-- I'm pretty confused. But I-- ...And I'm afraid. Really, really afraid. Really afraid. But I... I... I think you're the fucking Antichrist. |
| 157 | * In ''Film/{{Downfall}}'', after Hitler's suicide, Erich Kempke sees Günsche and the others carrying his and Eva's bodies outside to be burned in a funeral pyre in accordance with his last wishes and reacts with shock. |
| 158 | -->'''Kempke''': You mean to tell me that ''this'' is what you needed that fucking gasoline for?\ |
| 159 | '''Günsche''': Erich, I have my orders. |
| 160 | * In ''Film/DraftDay'', When Sonny Weaver is pushing Tom Michaels to make a trade: |
| 161 | --> '''Sonny:''' Come on, say it, you pancake eating motherfucker! |
| 162 | * ''Film/IDreamInAnotherLanguage'': During the ending, [[spoiler: the normally soft-spoken Isauro]] says the word "motherfucker" when he [[spoiler: scolds his former pal Evaristo for attempting to burn his house and murder him]]. |
| 163 | * ''Film/DrivingLessons'' has a well-placed F strike toward the end (in the American version it's one of only two F words, the earlier one being spoken by Evie earlier on during their road trip to Edinburgh, and the two lines that follow this one are cut entirely): |
| 164 | -->'''Ben Marshall:''' Fuck off, Sarah.\ |
| 165 | '''Sarah:''' What did you say?\ |
| 166 | '''Ben Marshall:''' I said, ''fuck off.'' |
| 167 | * In ''Film/TheDuff'', Bianca's mother (Creator/AllisonJanney) gets the movie's only[[note]]it being a PG-13 movie[[/note]] F-word. It's both lampshaded and mocked. The movie already contains mild swearing[[note]]"shit" and "ass," mostly[[/note]], and Bianca even declares, "Let's do this shit!" but as soon as Dottie replies with "Fucking A," everyone looks at her in shock and she apologises. |
| 168 | %%E |
| 169 | * ''Film/EdWood'' has Creator/BelaLugosi's response to [[BerserkButton someone mentioning him playing]] Creator/BorisKarloff's [[BerserkButton sidekick]]: |
| 170 | -->"Karloff? ''Sidekick?!?'' '''''FUCK! YOU!''''' Karloff does ''not'' deserve to smell my shit, that limey '''''COCKSUCKER''''' can rot in '''''HELL''''' for all I care!" |
| 171 | * In ''Film/EighthGrade'' normally [[ShrinkingViolet mild-mannered protagonist]] Kayla starts tossing off s-bombs when [[OhCrap she realizes]] she [[PhoneaholicTeenager has broken her cell phone]] throwing it across her bedroom when her father walked in on her [[KissingWarmUp kissing her hand]] while watching Instagram videos of her crush, Aiden, while in bed. |
| 172 | * Sort of in ''Film/{{Elysium}}''. Kruger's men gleefully flip off the members of parliament after [[spoiler:tossing grenades into the council chamber.]] Kruger himself is fond of using it when he goes absolutely nuts, such as exploding a target or getting fired. |
| 173 | * ''Film/{{Equilibrium}}'' has little swearing, only three times by my count. The most effective one is when Preston is cornered, [[BigBad DuPont]] tells him how he walked right into his trap "[[TemptingFate entirely without incident]]". All seems lost, and then the [[ItMakesSenseInContext empathy-measuring polygraph]] Preston is hooked up to flatlines. As the attendant voices [[OhCrap "Oh... Shit."]] Preston answers "[[PreAssKickingOneLiner Not without incident.]]" and starts a GunKata asskicking spree [[spoiler:that does not end until he kills [=DuPont=].]] |
| 174 | * While ''Film/EyesWideShut'' is not exactly clean in its language, it ends with this exchange (the very last line in Creator/StanleyKubrick's filmography): |
| 175 | -->'''[[Creator/NicoleKidman Alice Harford]]''': I do love you and you know there is something very important we need to do as soon as possible. \ |
| 176 | '''[[Creator/TomCruise Dr. Bill Harford]]''': What's that? \ |
| 177 | '''Alice Harford''': Fuck. |
| 178 | %%F |
| 179 | * ''Film/FallingDown'': |
| 180 | -->'''[[MeanBoss Captain Yardley:]]''' ''[to Sgt. Prendergast, the protagonist]'' I never liked you. You know why? You don't curse. I don't trust a man who doesn't curse. Not a "fuck" or a "shit" in all these years. Real men curse. |
| 181 | -->''[much later at the ending, when Yardley tries to get Prendergast to say a few words and help him look good on camera]'' |
| 182 | -->'''[[SympatheticInspectorAntagonist Sgt. Prendergast:]]''' Fuck you, Captain Yardley. Fuck you very much. |
| 183 | * Although ''Film/FearAndLoathingInLasVegas'' was rife with all sorts of profanity, calamity, and insanity, Duke's "'''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis FINISH! THE FUCKING! STORY]]'''!!" is very effective, and due to the way he says it, is actually almost just as frightening as what he had been hallucinating: his attorney turning into a werewolf like demon with six breasts growing out of his back, accompanied with some scary ass music and creepy red lights everywhere. |
| 184 | * This trope is most definitely prevalent in ''Film/FindingForrester'' [[spoiler:after Jamal calls out Forrester for being too scared to help him out.]] And this is to a character played by ''Creator/SeanConnery'', nonetheless. |
| 185 | * In ''Film/FirstMan'', Janet Armstrong snaps and uses the F-word when Neil replies to her question of how likely it is he will make it home from Apollo 11 with a dry non-committal answer. |
| 186 | * While ''Film/AFishCalledWanda'' is hardly short os swear words, it's still a great precision strike when the proper and polite Archie finally snaps: |
| 187 | -->'''George:''' Tell those pigs to fuck off.\ |
| 188 | '''Archie:''' Fuck off, pigs.\ |
| 189 | ''[police officers are dumbfounded]''\ |
| 190 | '''Archie:''' Did you hear what I said? Fuck off. |
| 191 | * The chapter list for the HBO DVD release of ''Film/FortApacheTheBronx'' lists Chapter 21 as "You Shut the Fuck Up!" |
| 192 | * In ''Film/FreedomWriters'', the teacher sees that one of her TroubledButCute inner city students has given himself an F on his self-graded story. The normally clean and preppy teacher's reaction? "You know what I see with this F? A big FUCK YOU." |
| 193 | * ''Film/{{Friday}}'': "You got knocked the fuck out!" |
| 194 | * ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' |
| 195 | ** In ''Film/FridayThe13thPartVIJasonLives'', when Tommy chews out the sheriff for not burning Jason's remains upon discovering them, the sheriff has this to say before Tommy sets off to finish the job the sheriff allegedly slacked off on: |
| 196 | -->'''Sheriff''': Well, we were gonna, but some asshole paid to [[DueToTheDead give Jason and his mother a proper burial]]. |
| 197 | ** ''Film/JasonX'': "What the hell is going on?" "Jason ''fucking'' Voorhees, that's what's going on!" |
| 198 | * In the anti-[[UsefulNotes/JosephMcCarthy McCarthyism]] film ''Film/TheFront'', Woody Allen spends the entire film fronting for blacklisting writers, but without committing himself... until (in the last line) he tells the Un-American Activities Sub-Committee to [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome go fuck themselves]]... ''in a PG-rated movie!'' |
| 199 | %%G |
| 200 | * 1980s gem ''Galaxina'' features two. One, when it dawns on Chopper [[spoiler: the high priest/leader of the motorcycle gangsters imprisoned on a distant planet]] that if he possesses the Blue Star, he'll be able to rule "the whole fucking universe!" The other is aimed at Sam, the elderly Oriental crewman who is prone to spouting off faux Confucianisms. Suffering from a neck injury, his crewmate, Maurice, has had one too many. |
| 201 | -->'''Sam:''' Robot woman like clock: pretty face, pretty hands, pretty movement, but hard to regulate when she get out of order. |
| 202 | -->'''Maurice:''' Sam, would you shut the fuck up? |
| 203 | * Annoyingly averted in ''Film/GalaxyQuest''. Originally, when being told to go through the garbage chompers, Gwen's reaction was supposed to be "Well fuck that!", which would have been the film's only profanity, and would have been highly effective. The line is instead dubbed to "Well screw that!" -- ''dubbed'', with Creator/SigourneyWeaver's MouthFlaps clearly showing the original line. |
| 204 | * In the PG-13 ''Film/GeminiMan'', AMF functions as a recurring acronym, used as a DeadlyEuphemism. At one point, Baron asks what AMF stands for, and Dani tells him, "Adios, motherfucker." Interestingly enough, Dani had dropped an F-Bomb at another point in the film, but it was muffled. |
| 205 | * ''Film/GetSmart'' made excellent use of this trope, especially with Alan Arkin's character. Right after driving through a snack bar with a swordfish on it. |
| 206 | -->'''Max:''' Chief, are you thinking what I'm thinking?\ |
| 207 | '''The Chief:''' I don't know, were you thinking "Holy shit, holy shit, a swordfish almost went through my head?" If so, yes. |
| 208 | * ''Film/GhostRiderSpiritOfVengeance'' gets the rare honor of being a PG-13 Marvel movie that uses it's one f-bomb by having Roarke declare Johnny Blaze "the worst fuckin' deal he ever made". |
| 209 | * The trope is OlderThanTheyThink, since it was done in ''Film/GoneWithTheWind'' with Creator/ClarkGable's memorable line: "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!" Back in TheForties, this was a pretty scandalous line, though it was permitted due to a loophole in UsefulNotes/TheHaysCode where some lines taken directly from original sources could be allowed. |
| 210 | * Inverted in ''Film/{{Goodfellas}}'': HairTriggerTemper Tommy, whose dialogue throughout the movie was littered with {{Cluster F Bomb}}s, says "Oh no" [[spoiler:just before his surprise execution.]] |
| 211 | * ''Film/GoodMorningVietnam'': The fighting men have fought to get Cronauer back on the air after he reported censored news, but he's given up. His attitude pushes the normally mild-mannered Garlick to his breaking point: "So that's it? You're just gonna leave the whole ''fucking'' thing behind?!" |
| 212 | * ''Film/TheGoodSon'' has one of the actor-side variant; those who saw the film for the first time were caught completely off guard when Creator/MacaulayCulkin, best known for appearing in the first two ''Film/HomeAlone'' films, cursed at Creator/ElijahWood. |
| 213 | -->'''Henry Evans''': Hey, Mark... don't fuck with me. |
| 214 | * From ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly'', as Tuco reunites with his old partners in crime while planning his revenge on Joe for leaving him in the desert after saving him from the noose a second time: |
| 215 | -->'''Tuco''': And people talk ''bullshit''. |
| 216 | ** Right after said second attempt to hang him, Tuco has this to say about how it feels to be hanged: |
| 217 | -->'''Tuco''': When that rope starts to pull tight you can feel the devil bite your ass! |
| 218 | * The first actual F-bomb in a movie is variously attributed to ''Film/TheGraduate'', ''Ulysses'', and ''I'll Never Forget What's'isname'', all released in 1967 after the Production Code was formally abolished, with the modern ratings system eventually becoming a permanent replacement. |
| 219 | * ''Film/GranTorino'': |
| 220 | ** When you see a very serious and straight-laced Catholic priest take the lord's name in vain (in a church, no less), you know things are about to get grim. |
| 221 | --->'''Father Janovich''': Oh, Lord Jesus, what have you done? |
| 222 | ** Walt, who casually throws [[ClusterFBomb ethnic profanities]] towards most everyone he meets (not even other whites are safe from him), employs a Precision Black Strike once, and not only is it his only racial slur against blacks in the entire film, it's the only racial slur against blacks in the entire film ''period''! |
| 223 | --->'''Walt:''' What the ''hell'' are you spooks up to? |
| 224 | %%H |
| 225 | * The F-bomb is dropped somewhat early in ''Film/{{Hancock}}'', and an earlier ([[ForeignCussWord foreign]]) swear had been censored in the subtitles, presumably to take advantage of the rule mentioned above. |
| 226 | * This humorous exchange in ''Film/TheHangover'': |
| 227 | -->'''Stu''': You know, sometimes I think all you want me to do is what you want me to do. Well, I'm sick of doing what you want me to do all the time. I think, in a healthy relationship, sometimes a guy should be able to do what he wants to do.\ |
| 228 | '''Melissa''': THAT IS NOT HOW THIS WORKS!\ |
| 229 | '''Stu''': Oh, good! Because whatever this is ain't workin' for me!\ |
| 230 | '''Melissa''': Oh really? Since when?\ |
| 231 | '''Stu''': Since you FUCKED that waiter on your cruise last June! BOOM!\ |
| 232 | '''Alan''': ...You told me it was a bartender.\ |
| 233 | '''Stu''': Oh! You're right. I stand corrected. It was a bartender. You fucked a bartender. |
| 234 | * In the 1982 PG-rated(!) Gene Wilder/Gilda Radner movie ''Hanky Panky'', Janet Dunn (Kathleen Quinlan) says "Get the fuck away from me!" while pointing a gun at Wilder's Michael Jordon. It goes by so quickly you're not sure you actually heard it. |
| 235 | * Bob Barker (playing himself) in ''Film/HappyGilmore'': "Now you've had enough... bitch." |
| 236 | * ''Film/HarryPotter'' |
| 237 | ** In ''[[Film/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone The Philosopher's Stone]]'', Draco, when taking Neville's Remembrall after his fall during the broomstick lesson, comments that if Neville had held on to it any tighter, "he would've remembered to fall on his fat ass." |
| 238 | ** In ''[[Film/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire The Goblet of Fire]],'' Harry says "I don't give a ''DAMN'' what your father thinks, Malfoy!" |
| 239 | ** From ''[[Film/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallowsPart2 Deathly Hallows Part 2]]'': "Not my daughter, you ''bitch.'' [[spoiler:AVADA KEDAVRA!]]" |
| 240 | ** As with the book counterpart, Hermione finally gets one of her own in ''[[Film/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallowsPart1 Deathly Hallows Part 1]]''. |
| 241 | --->'''Hermione:''' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis You! Complete! Arse! Ronald! Weasley!]] |
| 242 | * ''Film/HotFuzz'': |
| 243 | ** "Oh, fuck off, grasshopper!" |
| 244 | ** There is a slightly better example; Early on, we are introduced to the "swear box," into which one must put money if they swear. This is [[ChekhovsGun called back later]] when [[spoiler: Nick Angel tosses in a coin and yells "Leslie Tiller was FUCKING murdered!"]] Up 'til then, he was shown not even to swear ''ever'' on police time. |
| 245 | * ''Film/TheHungerGamesCatchingFire'' has one from Johanna, where she delivers two [[SoundEffectBleep bleeped]] F-bombs (shown uncensored in the quote below) in rapid succession while ranting about the Quarter Quell. |
| 246 | -->'''Johanna''': The deal was that if I win the Hunger Games, I get to live the rest of my life in peace, but now you want to kill me again. Well, you know what? [[AtomicFBomb FUCK THAT! AND FUCK ANYONE THAT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT!]] |
| 247 | ** And Katniss herself gets a moment near the end [[spoiler:during her breakdown at Haymitch for not saving Peeta]]: |
| 248 | -->'''Katniss''': ''You son of a bitch! You said you would save him over me! You promised me! You're a liar! You're a liar...'' ([[spoiler:right before being sedated down]]). |
| 249 | %%I |
| 250 | * The theatrical trailer for ''Film/InAndOut'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tiTWGVwHp8 FUCK BARBRA STREISAND!]] |
| 251 | * ''Franchise/IndianaJones'': |
| 252 | ** In ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom'', Indy, with Willie and Short Round with him, are on a rope bridge over a huge gorge with a rock-strewn and alligator-infested river beneath them...and mad cultists at either end of the bridge. Oh, and he's lost his gun. |
| 253 | -->'''Indy:''' Oh, shit. |
| 254 | ** ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'' did it first, with Indy saying "holy shit" when the Nazi submarine arrives. |
| 255 | *** When Belloq leaves him trapped in the Well of Souls and jokes: "Who knows? In a thousand years even you may be worth something!" Indy laughs and mutters "Son of a bitch!" |
| 256 | ** In ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade'', when Indy swipes the MP-40 away from one of the German officers as he's trying to rescue his dad, the officer says shit in German. |
| 257 | * In ''Film/InsideMan'', the mayor of New York gets one. He and Madeleine White, played by Creator/JodieFoster, are all smiles and pleasantries until the door to his office closes, at which point he shifts gear dramatically. After she's finished her list of politely-phrased demands, he tells her "You are a magnificent cunt." |
| 258 | * In another PG-13 rated Coen Brothers' film, ''Film/IntolerableCruelty'', the one f-bomb is used really well. |
| 259 | -->'''Wrigley:''' Do you have any baby field greens?\ |
| 260 | '''Diner Waitress:''' What did you call me?\ |
| 261 | '''Wrigley:''' Uh -- do you have a green salad?\ |
| 262 | '''Waitress:''' What the fuck color would it be? |
| 263 | * From ''Film/TheInventionOfLying'': Fuck the man in the sky! |
| 264 | * ''Film/IronEagle'': Doug Masters delivers a couple of these to Col. Nakesh, the first being after Nakesh ordered the sniper to gun down Col. Masters on the runway during Doug's rescue attempt (''"YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!"''), and the second when he locks-onto Nakesh's fighter in the final battle ("So long, asshole!") before firing his last missile and blowing him up. |
| 265 | * Questionably employed in ''Film/{{The Italian Job|2003}}''. Apparently following the "one and only one use in a PG-13 movie" rule, the writers gave it to the villain when his truck full of gold vanishes on him ("Where the fuck is my TRUCK!!") Which is a good place for it, but meant that another character (with no in-character reason to self-censor) got to shout the laughable "mother-freaking Ukrainians!" in another scene. |
| 266 | * [[Film/TheItalianJob1969 The original film]], from 1969, happens to be the only G-rated motion picture to drop an F-bomb through a single, barely audible "motherfucker" (keep in mind that at the time, the G rating was used on a lot of stuff that could be considered more adult today). |
| 267 | * ''Film/ItsAWonderfulKnife2023'': Winnie cusses out her family on the second Christmas when she's mad at them, and drops the f bomb twice when doing so. |
| 268 | %%J |
| 269 | * In ''Film/JackTheGiantSlayer'' Fallon's right head, which is mostly unintelligible, very nearly says the F-word before [[spoiler: he explodes after Jack drops a bean down Fallon's throat, causing it to grow from inside him and kill him]]. |
| 270 | * ''Film/JamesBond'': |
| 271 | ** In ''Film/QuantumOfSolace'', Creator/JudiDench of all people drops a spectacular one when she snaps, "I don't give a ''shit'' what the CIA thinks!" This, after 22 ''Bond'' films where the strongest swear word heard is "bastard". |
| 272 | ** She manages to have three "hells" in her rant about Bond in ''Film/CasinoRoyale2006'' |
| 273 | ---> Who the hell do they think they are? I report to the Prime Minister and even he's smart enough not to ask me what we do. Have you ever seen such a bunch of self-righteous, ass-covering prigs? They don't care what we do; they care what we get photographed doing. And how the hell could Bond be so stupid? I give him double-O status and he celebrates by shooting up an embassy. Is the man deranged? And where the hell is he? |
| 274 | *** Also from the same movie, there's Bond himself, when ordering a drink after losing a high-stakes poker game. This also doubles as a SubvertedCatchphrase. |
| 275 | ---->'''Bond:''' Vodka martini.\ |
| 276 | '''Bartender:''' Shaken or stirred?\ |
| 277 | '''Bond:''' ''Do I look like I give a damn?'' |
| 278 | ** There's also Pam Bouvier in ''Film/LicenceToKill'', one of the series' most notable attempts to go DarkerAndEdgier. Her response to Q telling her Bond's just doing his usual thing in sleeping around on her is "Bullshit!" |
| 279 | ** It's not the first time either; when Bond hijacks an airplane in ''Film/LiveAndLetDie'', one passenger's response is to say "shit". |
| 280 | ** His "son of a bitch" in a crucial scene in ''Film/LicenceToKill''. That movie was the closest any Bond movie came to getting an R rating -- they had to cut some of the more violent scenes in order for the movie to make PG-13. And then, the film got a 15 in the UK--the only Bond film to do so. Only recently has the uncut version, officially rated R by the MPAA, been released on home video in the States--and that one's always packaged with the PG-13 cut. |
| 281 | ** From ''Film/DiamondsAreForever'': "You dirty double-crossing limey fink, ''those Goddam diamonds are phonies!''" |
| 282 | ** In "Film/{{Skyfall}}", M utters the first F word ever spoken in the Eon series: |
| 283 | --->'''M''': I fucked this up, didn't I? |
| 284 | *** Right after Q realizes they've been breached again, he lets out one "shit" followed by a trio of them in quick succession. |
| 285 | --->'''Q''': Oh, shit... ''oh, shit, shit, shit, he hacked us!'' |
| 286 | ** ''Film/NoTimeToDie'' features Mallory doing this, much like his immediate predecessor did in ''Skyfall'', after [[spoiler:Bond reveals that he, Moneypenny and Q managed to get hold of the full database on Project Heracles's targets behind his back]]: |
| 287 | --->'''Mallory''': Oh, for fuck's sake. |
| 288 | * While [[Film/TheViewAskewniverse Jay]] is pretty [[ClusterFBomb potty-mouthed]] himself, Silent Bob gets one in ''Film/JayAndSilentBobStrikeBack''. Jay's monkey is kidnapped and driven away in a van with a poster on the back that clearly shows its destination. After about 3 minutes of stupidity, ''[[SilentBob Silent]]'' [[SilentBob Bob]] is forced to set his friend straight. |
| 289 | -->'''SilentBob:''' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis The sign! On the back of the car! Said "Critters... Of]] ''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint Hollywood!!]]''" '''YOU DUMB FUCK!!!''' |
| 290 | * In ''Film/JennifersBody'', after she realizes she's making out with Jennifer, Needy screams "What the fuck!?!" Jennifer tells her that it's the first time she's heard her say "fuck". |
| 291 | * ''Film/{{Jobs}}'': "He wants to go to war with I B ''FUCKING'' M!!" |
| 292 | * In ''Film/JohnnyEnglish'', when Pascal Sauvage is about to be crowned king of England, he delivers one in French: |
| 293 | -->'''Archbishop''': And so, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, I crown you--\ |
| 294 | [''Johnny does a Tarzan-like swing from a cable, snatching the royal crown'']\ |
| 295 | '''Pascal''': Give it back!\ |
| 296 | '''Johnny''': No!\ |
| 297 | '''Pascal''': That is my crown!\ |
| 298 | '''Johnny''': Never!\ |
| 299 | '''Pascal''': Give it back!\ |
| 300 | '''Johnny''': Never in a million years, Sauvage!\ |
| 301 | '''Pascal''': Give it to me!\ |
| 302 | '''Johnny''': Get off!\ |
| 303 | '''Pascal''': ''Merde''! [[note]]French for "shit".[[/note]]\ |
| 304 | '''Man in crowd''' [''after Pascal pulls out a gun'']: Pascal!\ |
| 305 | '''Pascal''': Shut up! All this stupid little country had to do was stand in line and do what it's told for one miserable day! But can it do that? My fragrant French ass, it can! |
| 306 | * In ''Film/JojoRabbit'', they save their one F-word until the very end when a character can quite rightly say "Fuck off, Hitler". |
| 307 | * Two occur in ''Film/JulieAndJulia'': The first when Julia Child (Creator/MerylStreep) is removing pasta from a pan, remarking to her husband that "These damn things are as hot as a stiff cock!" The second, is later in the film; her husband Paul (Stanley Tucci) is consoling her over a failed book deal, with the style and gravitas one would expect from a diplomat - until he concludes with a heartfelt "Fuck them." |
| 308 | * ''Film/KaamelottPremierVolet'': At the border between Hispania and Aquitania, we learn [[Myth/KingArthur Arthur Pendragon]] hasn't spoken a word since he was caught by a BountyHunter. He breaks his silence to yell at the border guard and [[GetIntoJailFree demands he arrests him]] and the bounty hunter for illegally bringing slaves into the Kingdom of Logres. Arthur and his companion Venec's yelling becomes an AnnoyingBackgroundEvent as the bounty hunter tries to negotiate... and then Venec yells "The Duchess of Aquitania is a whore!" Even Arthur stares at him in StunnedSilence, but it works, and they all get arrested and brought before the Duke of Aquitania (a loyal ally of Arthur). |
| 309 | * ''Film/KickAss'': "OK, you cunts, let's see what you can do now!" Made all the more shocking by the fact that it (and a few other surprise profanities) are spoken by ''then-12-year-old'' Creator/ChloeGraceMoretz. |
| 310 | ** In a green-band trailer for the sequel, Moretz, now a few years older, breaks the record set by the final trailer for ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness'' by saying "bitch" at least twice early on in the trailer. |
| 311 | --->'''Mindy''': Act like a bitch, get slapped like a bitch. |
| 312 | * In ''Film/{{Killers}}'', after Creator/KatherineHeigl character has found that her husband never told him about being an agent (and nearly getting killed several times), and then at the end finds out her father was also lying about who he was, she snaps and forces her husband and her parents into a "trust circle" and tells them that there will be no more secrets or lies in the family and no more killing, she then firmly illustrates her point by stating "I don't even want to see you swat a FUCKING fly!" |
| 313 | * Possibly in ''Film/TheKingsSpeech''. While Bertie's practicing with Lionel, Lionel suggests that Bertie tries swearing. Bertie isn't up for it at first, but in the end he goes into a long tirade of "[[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK]] [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments tits]]." (The word possibly is used here because the swearing is to help Bertie speak more fluently. Previously in the movie, Bertie could get so angry that he would have a short outburst where he didn't stutter at all.) |
| 314 | * In ''Film/KnightAndDay'', there is a little swearing, and every use of it counts. |
| 315 | * From ''Film/KnockedUp'': Sure, there was plenty of cursing (it WAS an R-rated Creator/JuddApatow movie, after all), but surprisingly enough, very little from Paul Rudd (who usually somehow ends up delivering {{Cluster F Bomb}}s in most of his comedy movies before and since)...until he's looking for some nookie from his wife, played by Leslie Mann, and gets rebuffed. |
| 316 | --> "Well...FUCK!" |
| 317 | ** This is also the only time we get to hear ''Ryan Seacrest'' curse. |
| 318 | * In ''Film/{{Kuffs}}'', Creator/ChristianSlater's brother Creator/TonyGoldwyn launches into a heavily-bleeped tirade spoofing profanity bleeps (every swear word is covered with a different sound), culminating in [[TakeThat a very loud and unbleeped ''"FUCK YOU!"'']] |
| 319 | %%L |
| 320 | * ''Film/TheLastKingOfScotland'' is filled with lusty Scottish swearing, but one f-bomb near the climax hits particularly hard. |
| 321 | -->'''Dr. Garrigan:''' You're a child. You have the mind and ego of an angry, spoiled, uneducated child. And that's what makes you so fucking scary. |
| 322 | * There's quite a few uses of the f-bomb in ''Film/{{Lawless}}'', but [[TranquilFury this line from Forrest]] takes the cake: "You send your talent with the bull tire round here again, and I guarantee you personally pulling a cleaver out of his fuckin' skull, you understand?" |
| 323 | * Colonel Ludlow in ''Film/LegendsOfTheFall'', in his diminished capacity [[spoiler: after his stroke]], raising up his middle finger and saying "''fuck'' the government." |
| 324 | * Dwayne of ''Film/LittleMissSunshine'', who has been an ElectiveMute EmoTeen for the first half of the movie, lets out [[AtomicFBomb a very loud "FUCK!"]] when he learns that [[spoiler:he's color-blind and thus can't fulfill his dream of flying airplanes]]. On the other hand, his speech after that incident is more of a ClusterFBomb. |
| 325 | * The movie version of ''Film/LittleShopOfHorrors'', when Audrey II is electrocuted, right before he explodes he shouts "Oh, SHIT!" |
| 326 | ** Also when Seymour figures out his plan to take over the world with his plant army Audrey II responds "Well no shit Sherlock!". |
| 327 | * Humbert Humbert only swears once in ''Film/{{Lolita}}'' (1997), during his VillainousBreakdown after he discovers that Lo has successfully escaped him at the hospital thanks to Claire Quilty. |
| 328 | * In ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' 'verse and ''Film/TheHobbit'' trilogy, there are virtually no swears. This tradition gets broken (fairly mildly) when Dain shows up in ''Film/TheHobbitTheBattleOfTheFiveArmies'', tells the assembled men and elves to "sod off" before telling his troops they'll kill the "bastards". He's also heard referring to the Orcs as "buggers" several times. While the swears are fairly mild, considering this is Middle-Earth Dain's cussing up a storm. |
| 329 | * ''Film/LuckyNumberSlevin'' drops the F-bomb from time to time, but The Boss (played by Creator/MorganFreeman) rarely swears up until the film's climax. His calling the Rabbi a "fucking Philistine" face-to-face[[spoiler:--er... back-to-back?]] is pretty intense. |
| 330 | ** Additionally, Slevin only drops the F-bomb when he's repeating something his neighbour Lindsay said. |
| 331 | ** And when he takes the precision F-shot after [[spoiler: revealing himself not as Slevin or Nick Fisher, but as Henry, the child whose family was killed in the first flashback of the film.]] |
| 332 | ** [[spoiler: "The two of you killed everything I ever loved. Fuck you both."]] |
| 333 | %%M |
| 334 | * ''Film/MaidToOrder1987'' is yet another "F word in a PG movie" example. Quoth Stan Starkey: "I don't want you walking on me with those 'fuck you' shoes!" |
| 335 | * In ''Film/MamasBoy2007'': Seymour gives a ''very'' good reason for why Jeffrey should sleep on the floor. |
| 336 | -->'''Seymour''': I'm ninety-one ''fucking'' years old. |
| 337 | * Done by, of all people, Creator/MerylStreep in the 2004 adaptation of ''Literature/TheManchurianCandidate''. |
| 338 | * In ''Film/MarathonMan'' when Szell asks Doc about his safety. Doc (played by Roy Scheider) asks if he can be candid and then proceeds to say "I couldn't give a FUCK about your [safety]". |
| 339 | * In ''Film/MariaFullOfGrace'', drug mules Blanca and [[TeenPregnancy María]] have a fight after the latter has somebody call the police so they can find [[spoiler: fellow mule Lucy, who was killed after a drug pellet ruptured inside her]]: |
| 340 | -->'''Blanca''': I feel sorry for your baby having such a stupid mother[[labelnote:original Spanish]]"''una mamá tan pendeja''"[[/labelnote]]. How fucking stupid, swallowing drugs when you are pregnant.\ |
| 341 | '''María''': Fuck you.[[note]]Original line in Spanish just has María calling Blanca an imbecile, in a case of ObligatorySwearing.[[/note]] |
| 342 | * In ''Film/MarriedToTheMob'', Connie Russo (Creator/MercedesRuehl) is tearing through the (pretty crappy looking) apartment of Angela de Marco (Creator/MichellePfeiffer), looking for her philandering husband Tony "The Tiger" Russo (played by Creator/DeanStockwell, but he's not there). In mid-tear, Connie stops, looks around and says to no one in particular, "What a fucking dump." |
| 343 | * In ''Film/TheMartian'', Watney manages to get through an entire fairly brutal self-surgery, then only grates out a "Fuck!" after he finishes. After that the F-bomb is used fairly cautiously, except when he's hearing particularly infuriating things over the link-up to Earth later on, which tend to degenerate into {{Cluster F Bomb}}s. |
| 344 | * The various films of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse tend to be light on swearing to maintain their PG-13 ratings, but there's a hilarious moment in ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'' when Tony Stark realizes what the next step in [[BigBad Loki's]] plan has to be and says, "Son of a bitch". The fact that he does it nearly deadpan just makes it funnier. |
| 345 | ** Loki himself comes as close to dropping a C-bomb as a Disney movie is willing to dare during his HannibalLecture (“''This'' is my bargain, you mewling ''quim''!”). The translation from a Chinese bootleg ended up becoming a meme. |
| 346 | --->'''Loki''': This is my teachings to you, you little bitch! |
| 347 | ** Then in the [[HilariousOuttakes outtakes]]: |
| 348 | --->'''Director Nick Fury''': [[ActorAllusion What, motherfucker!]]\ |
| 349 | '''Agent Phil Coulson''': I said what, motherfucker! |
| 350 | ** The senator who [[HauledBeforeASenateSubCommittee initiated the hearing]] in ''Film/IronMan2'', after seeing that he's been royally pwned by Tony Stark during a live broadcast. Hilariously, the F-word is [[{{Bowdlerize}} replaced]] by a BLEEP (though uncensored in the subtitles). In some circumstances, you're allowed to say it on C-SPAN but pettiness is probably not among them. |
| 351 | --->'''Senator Stern''': Fuck you, Mr. Stark. Fuck you, buddy. |
| 352 | ** The only word saltier than "damn" in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'' is Sam's (''completely'' justified) exclamation of ''"Shit!"'' when the titular villain suddenly reaches ''through'' the windshield of the car Sam's driving and plucks out the steering wheel. |
| 353 | ** Actually it happens again in ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', wherein [[spoiler:Tony accidentally slams into an invisible force field and yells "Shit!", to which Captain America chides, "Language..."]] |
| 354 | ** In ''Film/AntMan1'', Scott has a very justifiable case: |
| 355 | --->Uh, guys? We might have a problem. Hank, didn't you say this was, "some old warehouse"? It's not! [cue clouds parting to reveal [[spoiler:a state-of-the-art facility with a giant A insignia on the roof—the new Avengers headquarters]].] YOU SON OF A BITCH! |
| 356 | ** ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' ups the language a bit in general, but it still sticks out beautifully when [[spoiler:Ant-Man [[GodzillaThreshold becomes Giant-Man for the first time in combat]]]] and [[spoiler:SixthRanger Spider-Man]]'s instant reaction is ''"Holy SHIT!"'' |
| 357 | ** ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'' has an [[CurseCutShort F-bomb cut off by the end credits]] when [[spoiler:Aunt May sees Peter in his Spider-Man outfit]]. |
| 358 | ** When the titular protagonist of ''Film/DoctorStrange2016'' traps Kaecilius in the Mirror Dimension for the first time, he takes the time to boast: |
| 359 | ---> '''Stephen''': Who's laughing now, '''asshole'''? |
| 360 | ** ThisIsForEmphasisBitch is combined with this at the end of ''Film/{{Guardians of the Galaxy|2014}}'': [[spoiler:"You said it yourself, bitch. We're the Guardians of the Galaxy."]] |
| 361 | ** ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'' combines the trope instead with NarrativeProfanityFilter: |
| 362 | ---> '''Rocket''': ''(to Yondu, translating for Baby Groot)'' He says, "Welcome to the frickin' Guardians of the Galaxy." Only he didn't use "frickin'". (And in case you thought Rocket was making it up, he chides Baby Groot later for the profanity.) |
| 363 | ** Played for BlackComedy in TheStinger for ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' as Nick Fury almost gets to say Creator/SamuelLJackson's favorite word [[spoiler:while being disintegrated by Thanos]]. |
| 364 | ---> '''Nick Fury''': Motherf--! |
| 365 | *** A milder example much earlier in the movie, when Dr. Strange and Tony are squaring off: |
| 366 | --->'''Tony''': What is your job exactly, besides making balloon animals? |
| 367 | --->'''Doctor Strange''': [[SophisticatedAsHell Protecting your reality, douchebag]]. |
| 368 | ** In ''Film/{{Captain Marvel|2019}}'', Fury almost says his actor's favorite word again, after being scratched by Goose: |
| 369 | --->"Mother-''Flerken''!" |
| 370 | ** In ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', Steve is [[spoiler:[[IHatePastMe annoyed by himself]] from ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'']] and says, "You gotta be shitting me!" (by far the saltiest language he's ever used) when they have to fight. |
| 371 | ** ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'' has a a similar example to ''Homecoming''. In TheStinger, ''Spider-Man'' shouts, [[CurseCutShort "WHAT THE FU-?!"]] in response to [[spoiler:seeing that Mysterio has revealed his secret identity to the entire world]]. The ImmediateSequel, ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', begins with said F-bomb, this time censored by a [[SoundEffectBleep car horn]]. |
| 372 | ** ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3'' has Star-Lord drop the franchise's first uncensored F-bomb by shouting at Nebula when she is unable to open a car door. |
| 373 | --->'''Star-Lord''': "Open the ''fucking'' door!" |
| 374 | * ''Film/MarvinsRoom'': Delivered by Hank to Lee: "You know what? I could give a fuck about [[Ride/WaltDisneyWorld Disney World]]!" |
| 375 | * In Creator/RobertAltman's ''Film/{{MASH}}'', the 4077th is playing a football game against the 8063rd. During the game one of the 4077th's players decides to tell a player on the other team, "All right, bud, your fuckin' head is coming right off." Not only is this the only use of the word in the movie, it's one of the earliest uses of the word in all of mainstream Hollywood cinema. Its sudden appearance and "blink and you'll miss it" delivery is one of the film's funniest moments. |
| 376 | * In the film ''Film/Midway2019'', one of the prisoners of war on a Japanese ship are threatened with execution by drowning. Knowing that he'll likely drown regardless of what he says, he spends his last seconds cursing out the Japanese military personnel, before being pushed offboard. |
| 377 | * ''Film/MillionDollarBaby'' has a single swear word, given by a ''priest'' of all people. While arguing with Clint Eastwood's character, he says, "there ''are'' no demigods, you fuckin' pagan!" in response to his questions about the one God/holy trinity dichotomy. |
| 378 | * ''Film/MinorityReport'': When John Anderton [[spoiler:finds out that a man named Crowe supposedly killed his son]], he begins beating and interrogating him. Crowe then makes Anderton assume that [[spoiler:his son is somehow still alive, although this turns out not to be true]], and John Anderton blurts out the words "He's alive? He's alive! Where have you got him? Is he alright?!" When Crowe doesn't respond, he yells, "Tell me you FUCK! Where is he?!!" |
| 379 | * ''Film/MissionImpossibleFilmSeries'': |
| 380 | ** ''Film/MissionImpossibleGhostProtocol'': |
| 381 | *** The only serious swear in English is when Brandt points out that Ethan has run out of rope, with a ''very'' far drop beneath him. Ethan's response? |
| 382 | ---->"No ''shit!''" |
| 383 | *** When Ethan busts out of the Russian prison, one of the guards says "yob t'voyu mat", which, literally translated, means "f*cked your mother" but is here used as a sort of generic "f*ck it" expression. This is actually illegal to say in Russia, but is included in the film, where the subtitles render it as "[[SymbolSwearing %@#!]]" |
| 384 | ** The first f-bomb in the entire franchise doesn't appear until the sixth film, ''[[Film/MissionImpossibleFallout Fallout]]'', when the villain [[spoiler:August Walker]] loses patience with his ally Solomon Lane's labyrinthine plans for ExtremeMeleeRevenge against Ethan Hunt and demands to know why he has to make everything, namely his own GenghisGambit, ''"so '''fucking''' complicated."'' |
| 385 | * In the beginning of ''Film/MixedNuts'', Mrs. Munchnik is generally pretty uptight and never curses. Later in the film, Phillip and Catherine discover her stuck in an elevator, only to get distracted and leave her there for a number of minutes. They forget about her, and she's pretty accomodating about it. Until, that is, she gets impatient and picks the perfect moment to shout "HEY...'''DICKHEADS!!!!'''" |
| 386 | * ''Film/MontyPythonsLifeOfBrian'': |
| 387 | ** In a book full of interviews with the Pythons, one of them acknowledges this trope with regards to this exchange. |
| 388 | --->'''Brian:''' I'm not the Messiah! Will you please listen? I am not the Messiah, do you understand? Honestly!\ |
| 389 | '''Girl:''' Only the true Messiah denies His divinity.\ |
| 390 | '''Brian:''' What? Well, what sort of chance does that give me? All right! I am the Messiah!\ |
| 391 | '''Followers:''' He is! He is the Messiah!\ |
| 392 | '''Brian:''' Now, ''fuck off!'' |
| 393 | ** [[MemeticMutation ...How shall we fuck off, oh Lord?]] |
| 394 | ** This trope is also invoked during the amphitheater scene: |
| 395 | --->'''Brian:''' Excuse me, are you the Judean Peoples' Front?\ |
| 396 | '''Reg:''' Fuck off!\ |
| 397 | '''Brian:''' What?\ |
| 398 | '''Reg:''' Judean Peoples' Front? We're the Peoples' Front of Judea! |
| 399 | ** And during the Sermon on the Mount, when Mr. Bignose is offended by someone else's remark: |
| 400 | --->'''Mr. Bignose:''' One more time, mate, I'lll take you to the fucking cleaners!\ |
| 401 | '''Mrs. Bignose:''' ''[[LampshadeHanging LANGUAGE!]]'' |
| 402 | * ''Film/MontyPythonMostlyLiveOneDownFiveToGo'' |
| 403 | ** Creator/JohnCleese gives us three of these in three different sketches: First, in "Why Michaelangelo Didn't Paint ''The Last Supper''"... |
| 404 | --->'''His Holiness Pope Cleese I:''' Look, I'm the head of the ''fucking'' Catholic Church, I am, so watch it! |
| 405 | ** ...Again in "Crunchy Frog"... |
| 406 | --->'''Inspector Cleese:''' ''Fuck'' your sales; we have to protect the general public. |
| 407 | ** ... And, finally, in "Albatross". |
| 408 | --->'''Vendor Cleese:''' 'Course you don't get ''fucking'' wafers with it! It's an '''albatross'''! |
| 409 | * In ''Film/MrsWinterbourne'', Ricki Lake plays FishOutOfWater Connie, masquerading as Patricia. Creator/ShirleyMacLaine is the [[{{Socialite}} rich matron]] Grace, who thinks she is Connie's mother-in-law. When two snooty {{Rich Bitch}}es take digs at Connie, this exchange happens: |
| 410 | -->'''Connie''' ''(shoving them aside)'': Oh, fuck off. |
| 411 | -->'''Grace''' ''(following directly behind Connie)'': You heard her. Fuck off. |
| 412 | * Daniel Craig's character in ''Film/{{Munich}}'': "Don't fuck with the Jews." |
| 413 | * ExecutiveMeddling wanted ''more'' cursing in the ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' movie, which was met by one perfect line from Tom Servo. |
| 414 | -->'''Tom:''' What kind of shithole planet is this?! |
| 415 | * The eponymous trio in ''Film/MysteryTeam'' doesn't really swear all that much. When they do, [[SeriousBusiness shit just got serious]] |
| 416 | %%N |
| 417 | * In ''Film/TheNatureOfTheBest'', starring Lance Henriksen and Eric Roberts: a meek and repressed serial killer is pestered by a brash vagabond for the entire length of the film. When the vagabond realizes that the killer has finally set his sites on him, he asks him why he kills people. The killer drops his meek persona, brandishes his scalpel, and says, "For the ''fuck'' of it." |
| 418 | * 1971's ''Film/ANewLeaf'' (which co-writer and co-star Creator/ElaineMay had since disavowed) has Creator/WalterMatthau dropping "hell" and "damn" several times (throwing in a "damn it to hell") as well as "son of a bitch" once (after being called a son of a bitch). Plus it had a scene of a woman removing her bikini top, cutting away to Matthau running off in a panic just in time. The MPAA gave this film a "G" rating. |
| 419 | * At the climax of ''Film/NidaimeWaChristian'', [[Creator/SueShiomi Sister Kyoko]]'s patience with the {{Yakuza}} has finally run out after several churchgoers, including a new friend of hers who was a former Yakuza herself, are killed in a Yakuza-led ambush. When she confronts them, she yells, “Cross yourselves if you truly seek repentance; otherwise, you fuckers are all dead!” (approximate English translation). |
| 420 | * ''Film/NightOfTheComet'': When the delirious gang leader Willie ices one of his own in a shopping mall standoff: |
| 421 | -->'''Regina:''' You're CRAZY!\ |
| 422 | '''Willie:''' I'm not crazy, I just don't give a fuck! |
| 423 | * ''Film/NonStop'': The co-pilot mutters "fuck it" before putting the plane into a steep dive. |
| 424 | %%O |
| 425 | * ''Film/{{Oblivion 2013}}'': [[spoiler: '''Jack:''' [[PrecisionFStrike Fuck you]], Sally. ''([[HeroicSacrifice detonates]] [[NukeEm fuel cells]])'']] |
| 426 | * ''Film/OceansEleven'': |
| 427 | ** The Amazing Yen speaks nothing but Chinese for the entirety of the film until, in a fit of frustration at Danny and Linus's late arrival he screams out "Where the ''FUCK'' you been?!" |
| 428 | ** Reuben gets one earlier in the movie when Danny and Rusty are pitching their heist plan to him. He points out that even if they somehow got into a casino vault and back out again with all the cash, "you're still in the middle of the fucking desert!" |
| 429 | * ''Film/OfficeSpace'': When Joanna's boss at the restaurant keeps passive-agressively badgering her to wear more than the minimum amount of "flair" (little buttons and pins and such) on her uniform to show a better attitude about her job, she finally has enough, and this exchange takes place: |
| 430 | -->'''Joanna:''' You know what, Stan, if you want me to wear 37 pieces of flair, like your pretty boy over there, Brian, why don't you just make the minimum 37 pieces of flair? |
| 431 | -->'''Stan (Manager):''' Well, I thought I remembered you saying that you wanted to express yourself. |
| 432 | -->'''Joanna:''' Yeah. You know what, yeah, I do. I do want to express myself, okay. And I don't need 37 pieces of flair to do it! ''([[FlippingTheBird gives Stan a big middle finger]])'' |
| 433 | * Inverted in ''Film/OnceUponATimeInMexico''; aside from when he's deliberately being polite, Sands curses like a sailor throughout the movie. When he is truly, ''truly'' scared, he starts using G-rated euphemisms. For example, to [[BigBad Barillo]] and [[TortureTechnician Dr. Guevara]] immediately before [[spoiler:they take away his eyes]]: |
| 434 | -->'''Sands:''' I feel it's only fair to warn you that killing me is crossing the line, and you will have every single Marine from here to Guantanamo Bay up your keester, mister, so just know that. |
| 435 | * In ''Film/{{Orphan}}'', Isabelle Fuhrman's character, a 9-year-old girl named Esther [[spoiler: or so we are led to believe]], delivers the first "Fuck" of the movie. It's the first foul word in the film and it's reasonably far in; all that combined with her absolutely calm, matter-of-fact, deadpan delivery makes the whole audience jump. |
| 436 | * ''Film/{{Outbreak}}'' does this twice: |
| 437 | ** Daniels gets to the point where he has had enough of [[GeneralRipper McClintock]] and his warmongering obstructionism when the former threatens to shoot down the latter after being told he has the way to cure the remaining early-stage Cedar Creek patients. |
| 438 | --->'''[=McClintock=]''': {{With all due respect}}, Colonel Daniels, if you do not follow us to Travis Air Force Base, I will blow you out of the sky. |
| 439 | --->'''Daniels''': General, with all due respect, [[SophisticatedAsHell fuck you. Sir.]] |
| 440 | ** Daniels to Ford, before Sandman is close enough to drop the bomb. |
| 441 | --->'''Daniels''': This is murder, Billy, any way you fucking slice it. |
| 442 | * Oddly used in ''Film/{{Outlander|2008}}''. The film is already rated R for violence, yet the only harsh profanity comes at the beginning of the film: After [[ExpositionBeam getting the Norse language beamed into his brain through his eyes]], which is apparently rather painful, Kainan can only mutter, "Ooooooooooh fuck." |
| 443 | %%P |
| 444 | * Played for humor in ''Film/PanicRoom''. Meg and her daughter Sarah are trapped in the room, which has an intercom. |
| 445 | -->'''Meg:''' <Over intercom> Get out of my house! |
| 446 | -->'''Sarah:''' Say "fuck". |
| 447 | -->'''Meg:''' Fuck! |
| 448 | -->'''Sarah:''' No, say, "Get the fuck out of my house." |
| 449 | -->'''Meg:''' Oh. <Intercom> Get the fuck out of my house! |
| 450 | * In ''Film/PatriotGames'', after [[spoiler:Jack Ryan's daughter is seriously injured by IRA agents]] Jack confronts Paddy O'Neil in a rage and tells him that "I will FUCKING destroy you! I will make it my mission in life." |
| 451 | * In ''Literature/ThePerksOfBeingAWallflower'', Sam (portrayed by Creator/EmmaWatson) lets out an "Oh, ''shit!''" after realizing that her old man's about to walk in on her first attempt to "do it" with Charlie. |
| 452 | * ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'': |
| 453 | ** ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanTheCurseOfTheBlackPearl'': Props for slipping that into a ''Disney'' movie. Oh, and also using the word "strumpet". And "eunuch". And... just the way that Jack ''is'', feels like it shouldn't be in a Disney movie. |
| 454 | --->'''Will:''' Barbossa, you lying bastard! |
| 455 | ** ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanOnStrangerTides'': "You bastard" is used again by Angelica after [[spoiler:Jack just killed her father to save her life]]. |
| 456 | ** From a deleted scene: "You blew me hat off, ya bitch!" (The final word is censored, even in the outtake.) |
| 457 | ** After someone flubs a line and curses in one outtake: [[HilariousOuttakes "You can't curse in a Disney film, mate. See? I told him."]] |
| 458 | * A very mild one in ''Film/Plan9FromOuterSpace:'' "Find them, Colonel. See what in HELL it is they want!" |
| 459 | * Steve Martin's character launches a ClusterFBomb at an unsuspecting rental car agent in ''Film/PlanesTrainsAndAutomobiles'', but the rental car agent wins the battle with one solidly placed PrecisionFStrike. SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}} for the film. |
| 460 | * ''Film/PlanetOfTheApes1968'': |
| 461 | ** It has a very well known closing sequence, featuring Charlton Heston shouting "GOD DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!!!" |
| 462 | ** "Get your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty ape!" |
| 463 | * ''Film/PokemonDetectivePikachu'': |
| 464 | ** The first trailer has one courtesy of a Mr. Mime. In the original version, Tim translates the line as "[[TactfulTranslation You can shove it!]]"; however, the Spanish dub goes for a decidedly more vulgar translation. |
| 465 | --->'''Tim''': He's saying you can go fuck yourself.\ |
| 466 | '''Pikachu''': ''Fuck myself!?'' |
| 467 | ** The second trailer gives one to Pikachu himself: when a Charizard is kicking his ass in a fight club, he yells to Tim, "GET ME THE HELL OUT OF HERE!" |
| 468 | ** The film itself additionally has another "hell", plus Pikachu, during a major TearJerker scene, tells Tim, "[Your father would] be damn proud." Plus, Tim and Lucy each get out a barely-censored "Oh, shit!". |
| 469 | * Subverted in the ''Porky's'' sequel, when a character's misheard demand that an evangelist "get the flock out of here!" is mis-heard by an arena full of people ... and (this being a ''Porky's'' film) receives a standing ovation from the teen protagonists. |
| 470 | * ''Film/{{Predator}}'' has its fair deal of foul language, yet still manages a Precision F-Strike when the hunter reveals his face. |
| 471 | -->'''Dutch:''' You are one ugly motherfucker! |
| 472 | * ''Film/ThePrincessBride'': |
| 473 | ** Yet another SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: |
| 474 | --->'''Inigo Montoya:''' JustForFun/{{HELLO}}! {{MY NAME IS INIGO MONTOYA}}. {{YOU KILLED MY FATHER}}. {{PREPARE TO DIE}}.\ |
| 475 | '''Count Rugen:''' No!\ |
| 476 | '''Inigo Montoya:''' Offer me money.\ |
| 477 | '''Count Rugen:''' Yes...\ |
| 478 | '''Inigo Montoya:''' Power, too. Promise me that.\ |
| 479 | '''Count Rugen:''' All that I have and more, ''please''...\ |
| 480 | '''Inigo Montoya:''' Offer me everything I ask for.\ |
| 481 | '''Count Rugen:''' ''Anything you want''.\ |
| 482 | '''Inigo Montoya:''' I want my father back, you son of a bitch. [[spoiler: ''(And then, finally, he kills Count Rugen.)'']] |
| 483 | ** This is carried over almost exactly from the original novel. The main difference is that in the novel, Inigo practically screams the line; in the film, he says it [[TranquilFury very softly]] and intently and it's ''awesome''. |
| 484 | * ''Film/PublicEnemies'' makes good use of this trope, partly due to taking place in a time when swearing had yet to be as cheapened as it is today. The "bomb" itself is dropped under appropriate [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique duress]]. |
| 485 | %%Q |
| 486 | * Creator/QuentinTarantino, known for his vulgar dialogue, also likes throwing in precision strikes: |
| 487 | ** ''Film/PulpFiction'', Honey Bunny speaks in a sickeningly sweet fashion to Pumpkin until they start their robbery, when she barks out "Any one of you fucking pricks ''move'' and I'll execute every motherfucking last one of you!" Later, the very business-like Wolf ends a request, "...so, pretty please, with sugar on top, clean the fucking car." Also when Marcellus Wallace runs into the man he's been looking for, just by sheer coincidence, his reaction is a single well-timed "Motherfucker". |
| 488 | ** In ''Film/KillBill'', following her [[OffWithHisHead execution of Boss Tanaka]] for [[BerserkButton disrespecting her Chinese and American heritage]], O-Ren Ishii gives a poisonously sweet, friendly and courteous speech to the Yakuza council about her open-door management philosophy, then makes it abundantly clear what the price will be for further disrespecting her heritage ("...I collect your fucking head. Just like this fucker here."), just before finishing it off with an increasingly angered, "Now, if any of you sons of bitches got ''anything else to say, '''now's the fucking time!'''''" |
| 489 | ** ''Film/InglouriousBasterds'' has a particularly notable example from a relatively mild word. A Gestapo officer discovers in a bar [[spoiler: some of the Basterds disguised as German officers]] with the German actress Bridget von Hammersmark, [[spoiler: a British double agent.]] The very AffablyEvil Gestapo officer makes this point known and Hammersmark starts to speak, to which he replies "shut up ''slut''". For a film that includes many instances of CrossesTheLineTwice, that alone got an audible gasp among the audience. |
| 490 | %%R |
| 491 | * An extremely creative usage in ''Film/RaisingArizona'', one of Creator/TheCoenBrothers' few PG-13 rated movies: |
| 492 | -->So, he's got the sandwich in one hand, and the fucking head in the other! |
| 493 | * Used with justified fear in ''Film/ReadyPlayerOne2018'' by a mook in [[BigBadassBattleSequence the final battle]]. Why? Because [[Franchise/ChildsPlay Chucky]] is flying towards him knife first |
| 494 | --> '''Sixer''': It's fucking Chucky! (cue the MookHorrorShow) |
| 495 | * Karl Urban manages one in the last ''5 minutes'' of ''Film/Red2010'', the only one in the whole film. And it is glorious. "Fuck you, [[spoiler: Cynthia]]." |
| 496 | * In ''Film/RedEye'', PsychoForHire Jackson Rippner spends the majority of the film suave, calm, and in control of himself. His voice even borders on a CreepyMonotone at times. However, when he catches Lisa attempting to foil his plan, ''again'', in the airplane bathroom, not only does he get seriously violent, but he finally starts to swear. (The rest of the swearing in the movie is from mostly heroic characters.) In a callback to his earlier misjudged drink order-- |
| 497 | -->"You know what I think? I think you're not such an honest person. Because I've been following you for eight weeks now, and I never once saw you order anything but a '''fucking''' Sea Breeze!" |
| 498 | * ''Film/RepoTheGeneticOpera'': "You cannot control me father; Daddy's girl's a fucking monster!" |
| 499 | * Otherwise mentioned for being [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments hilarious]], in ''Film/ResidentEvilAfterlife'', Luther's comment when Bennett betrays the others and steals Alice's plane, intent on leaving them behind, only for the plane to sink like a stone upon takeoff: |
| 500 | -->'''Luther''': Yeah, that's right bitch! Fuck you! |
| 501 | * In ''Film/TheRightStuff'' about the early days of the American space program, Alan Shepard (the first American astronaut in space) settles into his capsule and prepares for launch. Miked up, he quietly says to himself, "Dear Lord....please don't let me fuck up." Fellow astronaut Gordo Cooper, sitting in mission control, radios back to him, "I didn't quite copy that. Say again, please." to which Shepard responds, "I said everything's A-OK!" |
| 502 | ** Truth in television: the real Alan Shephard said the same thing, which became known as "Shephard's Prayer". |
| 503 | * ''The Rite'': When Michael enters his room, and finds it filled with frogs (which the movie shows as a sign of demonic possession), he utters, "You gotta be fucking kidding me!" |
| 504 | * In ''Film/RobinHoodPrinceOfThieves'', after Robin and Azeem launch themselves over the castle walls with a catapult: |
| 505 | -->'''Will Scarlett''': Fuck me, he cleared it! |
| 506 | ** Some versions change this to "Blimey, he cleared it!", or just "Cleared it", annoyingly. |
| 507 | * At the end of ''Film/RoboCop2014'', Pat Novak vents his displeasure at [[spoiler:Norton's whistleblowing on [[MegaCorp OmniCorp]] and the vetoed repeal of the Dreyfus Act]] as only Creator/SamuelLJackson can. The cusses in question are [[SoundEffectBleep bleeped out]], but there's no question as to what's being said: |
| 508 | -->'''Novak:''' THE FACT THAT THIS MOTHERFUCKER IS NOT SERVING TIME IN SOME FEDERAL PENITENTIARY IS A HUGE HOT HEAPING PILE OF HORSE SHIT! Now I know some of you may think that this kind of thinking is dangerous and these machines violate your civil liberties. Some of you even believe that the use of these drones overseas makes us the same kind of bullying imperialists that our forefathers were trying to escape. To you, I say... stop whining! America is now and always will be the greatest country on the face of the Earth! I'm Pat Novak. Good night. |
| 509 | * The most famous line from ''Film/Rocketman2019'': |
| 510 | -->'''Music/EltonJohn:''' People don't pay to see Reg Dwight, they pay to see Elton '''FUCKING''' John! |
| 511 | * Creator/NicolasCage's character in ''Film/TheRock'' starts out as a nerdy scientist type who's obviously way in over his head participating in the Alcatraz mission, and who makes conscious efforts to avoid the use of cuss words. By the time the mission is nearly complete, he has become so affected by his experiences that he gives both his partner and the enemy soldiers a mouthful of F-bombs. |
| 512 | * Frank in ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'' drops the film's only F-bomb. |
| 513 | --> '''Frank-N-Furter:''' It's something you'll get used to! A mental mind fuck can be nice! |
| 514 | ** In the unfilmed sequel ''Script/RevengeOfTheOldQueen'', there is also a single use of the word, this time from Riff Raff. |
| 515 | --> '''Riff Raff:''' And what the, expletive very much included, ''fuck'' do you want? |
| 516 | * ''Film/TheRunningMan'' gets bonus points for this one, by having its PrecisionFStrike delivered by a sweet-looking little old grandmother on live television. |
| 517 | * Creator/RupertGrint swears at least once in all his films. Aside from the Wizarding World examples, he gets his obligatory profanity in ''Film/WildTarget'' when Victor Maynard's home is beseiged by Dixon and his right-hand man. He also assures his friend Patrick he's going to be "Goddamn fine" during an encouraging speech toward the end of ''Film/{{Thunderpants}}'', in an inverse example of DidNotDoTheBloodyResearch achieved through [[RefugeInAudacity an attempt to imitate the speech patterns of the American adults around him]]. |

| 519 | * ''Film/TheSandlot'' (a PG-rated movie, by the way), right after Benny tries to get back the Babe Ruth autographed baseball from the neighbor's yard, the dog, Hercules, jumps over the fence and chases him all over town. His "Oh, ''shit''!" is a perfect OhCrap moment, too. |
| 520 | * ''Film/{{Scarface|1932}}'' has the little-known claim to fame of being one of few pre-Code Hollywood films to drop an F-bomb (all the other examples on this page came during or after the era of the Production Code), as one character tells another to "fuck off" over the phone. It's also rated PG by the MPAA (and there will be a few more examples of ''that'' on this page). |
| 521 | * ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'' was going to contain a Precision F Strike, using their one PG-13 allotted curse word by having Envy Adams say the line "Shut the fuck up Julie." According to the director's commentary, the f-bomb was censored in the same way that Julie's lines jokingly were because they unwittingly used up their curse word allotment when Scott called the third evil ex-boyfriend a "cocky cock." |
| 522 | ** Though they did keep Wallace's [[OhCrap "Oh, Shit"]] line from the comic book. |
| 523 | ** It's arguably funnier with the bleep (complete with a black box to cover her mouth) and lampshaded when she's asked how she does it. |
| 524 | ** This also meant that they had to censor another instance of the word "cock" in Stephen Stills's line "You know how I feel about girls cock-blocking the rock". This time they used amp feedback to obscure the word, making it almost unnoticeable. |
| 525 | * ''Film/Serenity2005'': |
| 526 | ** Mal Reynolds' line of "I will shoot you down," was written in the script as "I will fucking shoot you." |
| 527 | ** Though unusually, when Mal talks about how Simon knew River might go "apeshit" at any moment, it passes very quickly. |
| 528 | ** Watch the out-takes. There's a particularly startling one at Book's village. There's another outtake where Gina Torres, realizing she just flubbed her line, mutters "shit." Nathan Fillion starts [[ChewingTheScenery mugging for the camera]] with a look of shock at her language. |
| 529 | * Near the end of ''Film/ShallWeDance'' after Link's co-workers discover that he is a ballroom dancer and begin to mock him, he says "Fuck you all." |
| 530 | * On the director's commentary for ''Film/ShatteredGlass'', which was a PG-13 movie, director Billy Ray notes that they specifically saved up their allotted uses of the word "shit" for Chuck Lane's furious speech against Stephen Glass. Considering that Lane had been portrayed as a sensible, no-dramatics kind of guy, when he finally loses his temper the accompanying swearing is ''very'' effective. |
| 531 | * ''Film/ShesAllThat'': Rachael Leigh Cook delivers the line "Am I a bet; am I a ''fucking'' bet?" This is done with the camera on a silent Freddie Prinze, Jr., making it trivial to edit for network television. |
| 532 | * ''ComicBook/SinCity'': |
| 533 | ** In the first film, Manute, normally quite polished on the language front, has this to say just before the ladies of Old Town gun him and his goons down in ''The Big Fat Kill '': |
| 534 | --->'''Manute:''' ''No!'' MCCARTHY, YOU '''SHIT!''' |
| 535 | ** In ''A Dame to Kill For'', [[spoiler:Nancy delivers one just before she shoots Roark in the head]]: |
| 536 | --->[[spoiler:'''Nancy:''' This is for John Hartigan... FUCKER!]] |
| 537 | * High-octane Indian action movie ''Singham'' has about the same amount of GratuitousEnglish as any other Hindi movie (being a former English colony, there's more English speakers in India than you might think), but we get a good idea of Singham's own command of English after he scores his first real victory against the local mob boss and says "don't fuck with Bajrao Singham." |
| 538 | * In ''Film/SixteenCandles'' (rated PG) the word is used one time, when Samantha realizes that her family forgot her birthday. |
| 539 | * In the PG-13 ''Film/{{Sneakers}}'', Donald Crease uses the word after pistol-whipping two guards that have him and Mother cornered. |
| 540 | -->'''Donald Crease''': Motherfuckers mess with me, I'll split your head! |
| 541 | * In ''Film/{{Soapdish}}'', Sally Field, no less, complains about her character's outfit. "I don't feel quite right in a turban... what I feel like is Gloria ''fucking'' Swanson!" |
| 542 | * The normally reserved Eduardo in ''Film/TheSocialNetwork'' delivers one after [[spoiler: finding out that Mark has essentially kicked him out of the company.]] |
| 543 | -->'''Eduardo:''' Sorry! My Prada's at the cleaners! Along with my hoodie and my '''fuck you''' flip-flops, you pretentious douchebag! |
| 544 | ** And then the unrated version, first released on the [[Creator/ColumbiaPictures Columbia Classics]] [[LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition 4K Volume 2 box set]], finally uncensored a [[{{Bowdlerise}} previously overdubbed]] line from the arrogant yet more reserved Winklevoss twin: |
| 545 | --->'''Cameron:''' Let's gut the fuckin' nerd. |
| 546 | * Used in ''Film/SoIMarriedAnAxeMurderer'', when an axe thuds into the dresser right in front of Mike Myers and he shouts "What the Fuck?!" It's possibly a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}}. |
| 547 | * ''Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020'': Dr. Robotnik gets one when Tom attacks him from behind to stop him from killing Sonic. |
| 548 | -->'''Dr. Robotnik:''' Who the ''hell'' do you think you are? |
| 549 | * In ''Film/SourceCode'' when Colter finds out [[spoiler:he's dead]] and Goodwin tries to calm him, Colter, who up to this point has been nothing but polite and patient, simply stands up and screams "FUCK YOU!" |
| 550 | * ''Film/{{Southpaw}}'': While there's plenty of swearing in the film, the most jarring bit comes from Billy's daughter Leila when she outright tells him, "You fucked up." |
| 551 | * From ''Film/{{Spaceballs}}'': "'[[FailsafeFailure Out of order]]'?! FUCK! Even in the future, nothing works!" Interestingly, the MPAA actually rated the film ''[[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids PG]]'' despite this F strike, making it one of VERY FEW PG-rated films where someone audibly says "fuck".[[note]]And it probably got away with it because the expletive had nothing to do with sex (most broadcast {{Bowdlerization}}s simply replaced it with, "Great!"), meaning it could at least be HandWaved by parents.[[/note]] Even more interestingly, this was also after the PG-13 rating was introduced. |
| 552 | * ''Film/{{Speed}}'': "FUCK ME!", when Jack sees the bomb under the bus. |
| 553 | * Peter Parker does this in ''Film/SpiderMan3'' [[spoiler:while under the influence of the Venom suit]]. |
| 554 | -->'''Mr. Ditkovich:''' This is a free country, not a rent-free country.\ |
| 555 | '''Peter:''' Leave me alone.\ |
| 556 | '''Mr. Ditkovich:''' Give me rent.\ |
| 557 | '''Peter:''' You'll get your rent when you ''fix this DAMN DOOR!'' |
| 558 | * The ''Film/SpyKids'' series had used "shittake mushrooms" to cover for the kids' swearing, especially in [[Film/SpyKids1 the first film]] when Juni almost says "Oh shit" when facing down [[spoiler:his robot double]] and Carmen covers for him. In [[Film/SpyKids2IslandOfLostDreams the second film]], during a duel against a [[spoiler:traitorous agent]], she tells him "You're so full of shit", [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments causing the various monsters and reanimated skeletons watching the fight to gasp in shock]]. |
| 559 | ** In the second movie, "-take mushroom" is actually subtly muttered after Carmen's use of "shit", similar to its use in the first movie. |
| 560 | ** Carmen does it again in [[Film/SpyKidsAllTheTimeInTheWorld the fourth film]], when she and her family are surrounded by Tick Tock's agents: |
| 561 | --->'''Carmen:''' Oh, shit[[spoiler:take mushrooms]]. |
| 562 | * ''Film/StargateContinuum''. None of the characters swear ''that'' much in the series and then, it's fairly mild. But when SG-1 find themselves in Antarctica and Daniel has to be left alone in the freezing cold, with frost bite in his left leg, he calmly watches his friends walk away before muttering to himself: "Aw shit." |
| 563 | ** And later, during the interrogation montage: |
| 564 | --> '''Daniel Jackson:''' I mean, seriously, who would make this shit up?! |
| 565 | * ''Film/StarshipTroopers'': |
| 566 | -->'''Zander''': One day someone like me is gonna kill you and your whole fucking race! |
| 567 | * ''Franchise/StarTrek'': |
| 568 | ** Spock, having just been resurrected, spends ''Film/StarTrekIVTheVoyageHome'' trying to learn how to swear -- largely unsuccessfully, PlayedForLaughs. ("They like you very much, but they are not the hell your whales.") Eventually he lampshades it: "Are you sure it isn't time for a colorful metaphor?" Not that Kirk is a lot better once the ''Enterprise'' crew [[FishOutOfTemporalWater travel back in time to 1986]]: "Double dumbass on you, too!" |
| 569 | ** In ''Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry'', Spock's response to the news of the ''Enterprise's'' decommissioning is: "If I were human, I believe my response would be... Go to Hell." |
| 570 | ** In ''Film/StarTrekGenerations'', when the Enterprise is about to make a crash landing, Data (who has recently acquired his emotion chip) [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9hg0uMwUrI sums up the situation very concisely]]: "[[OhCrap Oh, shit!]]" If any other character had delivered this line, it would have lost most if not all of its impact. |
| 571 | ** ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact'' homages Spock's line in the sixth movie. The ''Enterprise'' is ordered to stay out of a battle with the Borg. As the battle goes badly, Picard tells the crew he's about to violate that order and notes that any crew objections will be noted. Data (the logical android who had no emotions until the previous movie) responds with a crowning moment of awesome: "I believe I speak for everyone here, sir, when I say... [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight to Hell with our orders]]." |
| 572 | *** Also, Picard's "DAMN IT" during his Ahab speech. |
| 573 | ** [[Film/StarTrek2009 The 2009 reboot]] features this exchange (which deconstructs a CallBack to make a point about the AlternateUniverse): |
| 574 | --->'''[[spoiler:Spock Prime]]:''' [[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan I have been, and always shall be, your friend.]]\ |
| 575 | ''[{{Beat}}]''\ |
| 576 | '''Kirk:''' Bullshit. |
| 577 | *** The theatrical trailer for its sequel may have started an alarming trend for the word "bitch" appearing in green-band trailers: |
| 578 | ---->'''Kirk:''' Let's go get this son of a bitch. |
| 579 | ** Bones [[CurseCutShort almost swears]] in ''Film/StarTrekBeyond'' when he's forced to team up with Spock to go on one of [[BigBad Krall]]'s swarm ships: |
| 580 | --->''"Dammit, Jim, [[ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder I'm a doctor, not a f]]--!"'' |
| 581 | *** Earlier in the film, when examining Spock's wound: |
| 582 | ---->'''Spock:''' The forced optimism in your voice suggests that you are trying to elicit a sense of calm in order to-- |
| 583 | --->'''Bones:''' Cut the horseshit. |
| 584 | *** Later, after Bones cauterizes the wound, Spock uses said word. |
| 585 | ---->'''Bones:''' They say it hurts less if it's a surprise.\ |
| 586 | '''Spock:''' If I may [[LampshadeHanging adopt a parlance with which you are familiar]], I can confirm your theory to be... horseshit. |
| 587 | * ''Franchise/StarWars'' has mostly clean language, which is why its few moments of swearing are so special. |
| 588 | ** ''Film/ANewHope'' has the following conversation between Han Solo and Obi-Wan Kenobi: |
| 589 | --->'''Han:''' Even if I could take off, I'd never get past the tractor beam.\ |
| 590 | '''Obi-Wan:''' Leave that to me.\ |
| 591 | '''Han:''' Damn fool, I knew you'd say that. |
| 592 | *** Earlier in the film, Obi-Wan quotes an earlier remark to him by Owen Lars when calling his own mission a "damn fool idealistic crusade". Lars himself gets one in earlier when he tells Beru that if Luke isn't back with R2-D2 (who had run off on him) by dinner, then he should expect that "there'll be hell to pay". |
| 593 | *** As they're breaking Leia out of the Death Star's Death Row, after she shoots at a nearby wall as she starts to take control of the breakout, Han, who is understandably a bit freaked out, shouts, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" |
| 594 | ** ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'': |
| 595 | *** When one Rebel technician tells Han the risk he faces going out into the frozen wasteland of Hoth in search of Luke: |
| 596 | ---->'''Rebel technician:''' Sir, your tauntaun will freeze before you reach the first marker.\ |
| 597 | '''Han:''' Then I'll see you in hell! |
| 598 | *** Amusingly, ''Chewbacca'', of all characters, gets one towards Han at one point, [[https://youtu.be/wJY6CzC7JqA?t=14 as revealed in behind-the-scenes footage]]. |
| 599 | ---->'''Chewbacca:''' What!? ''What!?!?'' Where the hell have you been? Where the hell have you ''been''? |
| 600 | ** ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' gives Darth Vader an unvoiced "Fuck you!" at one point during his battle against his former master Obi-Wan on Mustafar. His mouthing that phrase marks the closest the franchise has ever come to dropping an actual F-bomb. |
| 601 | ** Finn utters the strongest language in a ''Star Wars'' film to date in ''Film/TheLastJedi'', when he calls someone who betrayed them a "murdering bastard". |
| 602 | ** ''Series/{{Andor}}'' has one character say "shit" for the first time on-screen in the franchise. |
| 603 | * The Live-action parody movie of the above, ''Film/StarWreckInThePirkinning'', has one engineer, whose name actually qualifies: Fukov. The way it's pronounced, it often sounds like "fuck off". |
| 604 | * In ''Film/StepBrothers'', Mary Steenburgen, of all people, gets one in when she comes home to find Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly (the former plays her son) fighting. |
| 605 | * The 1981 slasher-spoof film ''Film/StudentBodies''. Halfway through the film, which could up to that point have been rated PG, it interrupts the story and cuts to an announcer behind a desk, who says: |
| 606 | --> "Ladies and gentlemen, in order to achieve an 'R' rating today, a motion picture must contain full frontal nudity, graphic violence, or an explicit reference to the sex act. Since this film has none of those, and since research has proven that R-rated films are by far the most popular with the moviegoing public, the producers of this motion picture have asked me to take this opportunity to say 'Fuck you.'"\ |
| 607 | ''[cut to the official MPAA R rating card, which is blue with a white horizontal stripe where the rating icon is displayed--a rare time the official MPAA card is shown out of sequence]'' |
| 608 | * ''Film/TheSumOfAllFears'' attempts to avoid the R rating and ends up giving its one Fuck to the ''U.S. President''. |
| 609 | * In ''Film/Super8,'' the stoner kid looks around, sees the carnage, and says simply, "What the fuck?" |
| 610 | %%T |
| 611 | * ''Film/{{Tank|1984}}'' features one. While in the chow hall, Command Sergeant Major Carey is eating with the enlisted men, much to the displeasure of the mess sergeant. Fully prepared to chew the Sergeant Major a new one for such a breach of etiquette, the master sergeant points out that he's been working mess halls over 27 years. Dwight D. Eisenhower ate his cooking! Carey calmly explains he came in not for a surprise inspection, but because he wanted to eat with the men and because the food smelled good, and proceeds to compliment the mess sergeant on his cooking. |
| 612 | -->'''MSG Johnson:''' You wanna talk about my food, you taste that apple cobbler and ''then'' you talk about my food.\ |
| 613 | '''CSM Carey:''' ''(takes bite) {{Beat}}'' Sergeant.\ |
| 614 | '''MSG Johnson:''' Yeah?\ |
| 615 | '''CSM Carey:''' That's the best fucking apple cobbler I ever tasted.\ |
| 616 | '''MSG Johnson:''' Give that man some seconds. |
| 617 | * The Canadian French dub of ''Film/TeamAmericaWorldPolice'', ''Escouade américaine : Police du monde'', does a variation of this. As in the English-language original, swear words are used throughout. However, they are all translated as international French swearwords, such "putain" or "merde", which in Québec are considered as rather mild. However, when all hell breaks loose in the Egypt mission, one of the puppets let out a deadpan "Oh, shit". In that case, and ONLY in that case, it is translated by a "sacre", an infamous religious-based swear word unique to Quebec: "Ostie". |
| 618 | * ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2014'': |
| 619 | ** While they're not anything bad per se, it's a bit jarring to hear Raphael drop both "numbnuts" and "asses" considering who this is marketed to. |
| 620 | ** Donatello saying "badass" was even in some of the trailers! |
| 621 | * ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'': |
| 622 | ** When Sarah Connor realizes that Cyberdyne actually does have the remains of the original Terminator, as she'd believed: |
| 623 | --->"Son of a ''bitch'', I knew it!" |
| 624 | ** When the T-1000 has Sarah pinned and helpless, threatening to stab her dead unless she calls her son back. |
| 625 | --->'''T-1000''': Call to John ''now''. |
| 626 | --->'''Sarah''': ...''Fuck you''. |
| 627 | * Creator/JohnCarpenter's ''Film/TheThing1982'': |
| 628 | ** "I know you gentlemen have been through a lot, but when you find the time, I'd rather not spend the rest of this winter ''tied to this fucking couch!"'' |
| 629 | ** The [[spoiler: crawling head]] scene's hilarious quip: "You gotta be fucking kidding..." |
| 630 | ** "YEAH, FUCK YOU TOO!!" |
| 631 | * Those who saw the red band trailer for ''Film/ThisIsTheEnd'' were treated to a surprise that made it into the final cut. |
| 632 | -->'''Creator/EmmaWatson''': Back the fuck up! ''[...]'' I'm not '''''[[SuddenlyShouting FUCKING AROUND!!!!!!!!!]]''''' |
| 633 | * ''Film/ThreeDaysOfTheCondor'': "You play games. Six people died, and you play fucking GAMES?" |
| 634 | * Lampshaded in ''Film/TinCup'' when Roy convinces Molly to give golf a try and she screws up her first couple of swings. |
| 635 | -->'''Molly''': Oh, fuck!\ |
| 636 | '''Roy''': Well, you talk like a golfer. Here, try again.\ |
| 637 | ''[One fail later...]''\ |
| 638 | '''Molly''': ''Shit!''\ |
| 639 | '''Roy''': "Fuck." "Shit." [[SophisticatedAsHell These are highly technical golf terms]] and you're using them on your first lesson. This is promising. |
| 640 | * ''Film/TopGunMaverick'' gets, ironically, one of the most understated F-bombs in recent cinema. For the entire film, Maverick has been talking about how the opponent's Su-57 "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth-generation_fighter fifth-generation fighters]]" will pose a massive threat to his team (who, to be sure, are all flying 4.5th-gen [=F/A-18E=] and [=F/A-18F=] Super Hornets and therefore are outclassed). The truth of Maverick's words are depicted in the final dogfight when one of those [=Su-57=] pilots takes the "DodgeByBraking" trope to heart, throwing his plane into a controlled mid-air tumble that lets him effortlessly go from "Right in the heroes' sights" to "Right on their tail", and Rooster's delivery of the line is focused more on the BeyondTheImpossible physics than the one big word itself, to the point where it's actually possible to miss the F-bomb entirely: |
| 641 | -->"What the fuck was ''[[BigWhat that]]??''" |
| 642 | * Val Kilmer delivers the sole F bomb in ''Film/{{Tombstone}}'' while playing Chopin on the piano. The saloon's resident music critic/drunken gunfighter apparently had never heard of "Frederic fucking Chopin". |
| 643 | * In ''Film/TheToweringInferno'', after Steve [=McQueen=] realizes that the only way to put out the fire will probably kill both him and Paul Newman: "Oh, Shit!" |
| 644 | * Mortimer Duke in ''Film/TradingPlaces'', while his brother Randolph is having a heart attack: "Fuck him!" Creator/DonAmeche was just about the only person who didn't consider the line his character's SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}} as he loathed swearing in real life; he begged John Landis to change the line, and when Landis refused, told all the actors and the hundreds of extras in the scene not to make any mistakes because he only wanted to do this once. |
| 645 | * ''Film/{{Tremors}}'': Cold my ass, he's dead. We killed it. We killed it! ''[[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Fuuuuck yoooouuu!!]]'' |
| 646 | %%U |
| 647 | * In ''Film/TheUsualSuspects'', Verbal's reaction to a sudden new line of questioning is classic: |
| 648 | -->'''Kujan:''' ''[bursts into office]'' Who's Keyser Soze? |
| 649 | -->'''Verbal:''' Aw, fuck! |
| 650 | %%V |
| 651 | * In ''Film/VenomLetThereBeCarnage'' after Eddie Brock defeats [[spoiler:Cletus Kasady]] he tells him that he only wanted to be his friend, Venom replies with “Fuck this guy!” and bites his head off. |
| 652 | * In ''Film/VeronicaMars'', Veronica delivers the film's only f-strike, rebuking an advance by telling the guy to fuck off. |
| 653 | %%W |
| 654 | * The Music/JohnnyCash biopic ''Film/WalkTheLine'': |
| 655 | ** Cash generally sticks only to the mild, old-school country boy stuff like "damn" and "hell". But in the scene where he performs on stage drunk/high, he acts very strange, playing the guitar with a dazed smile on his face and making an unusually harsh aside to his drummer: "Just play the fucking thing." Moments later, he collapses. This surprising usage of the word catches the viewer off-guard and lets them know something bad is about to go down. |
| 656 | ** Later, he lampshades this trope while performing at Folsom Prison: "Now, we're recording live, so don't say 'hell' or 'shit' or anything like that." |
| 657 | * In the film adaptation of Pink Floyd's ''Music/TheWall'', after Pink's [[https://youtu.be/BOay-7aqLks outburst]] against the groupie in his room, he throws his television set out the window, and shouts out "'''TAKE THAT, FUCKERS!!!'''" |
| 658 | * ''Film/{{Wanted}}'' has the character Sloan (played by Creator/MorganFreeman) dropping the F-bomb twice during the course of the film to punctuate some of its most dramatic scenes. |
| 659 | * In ''Film/WarriorsOfVirtue'' Ryan says "shit happens" near the end. |
| 660 | * In ''Film/TheWeddingSinger'', a PG-13 film, we have Robbie's song about his ex-girlfriend that stood him up at the altar: |
| 661 | -->'''Robbie:''' But it all was bullshit! It was a goddamn joke! And when I think of you, Linda, I hope you fucking choke! |
| 662 | * ''Film/WhiteHunterBlackHeart'': Wilson telling Mrs. [=MacGregor=] after the way she treats Verrill a story about how he had come across a woman in his travels in London who had also been making antisemitic remarks, until he cut her short by telling her, "Madam, I have dined with some ugly, goddamned bitches in my time. I've dine with some of the god-damnedest, ugliest bitches in the world, but you, dear, are the ugliest bitch of them all." Wilson then starts to tell Mrs. [=MacGregor=] this, but figures she's gotten the point. |
| 663 | * ''Film/WhosHarryCrumb'', had only minor swears throughout, that is until the climax at the airport. Harry Crumb is racing towards a taxiing plane on top of some motorized ramp stairs. The pilot, while making his announcements, sees this and let's out a "What the FUCK is that?" over the PA system. |
| 664 | * A very absurd example: according to Jerry Maren, while filming the Munchkinland scene in ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'', a bunch of Munchkins thought it would be a good idea to sing the lyrics to a certain song written for the film as "Ding Dong, the Bitch is Dead", because they knew that they had already pre-recorded the song in question ("Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead") as written and that it'd be plastered over their bawdy rendition on camera anyway. Also, an urban legend accuses Elmira Gulch of threatening to "bring a damn[[note]]Actually "damage"[[/note]] suit that'll take [the] whole farm!" during the Kansas sequence. |
| 665 | * ''Film/TheWorldsEnd'': By none other than [[spoiler:the Network]]. [[spoiler:"Fuck it."]] |
| 666 | ** Even earlier on, Andy, a character who rarely used profanity up until one point, screams: |
| 667 | -->'''Andy:''' ''I HATE THIS FUCKING TOWN!'' |
| 668 | %%X |
| 669 | * ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'': |
| 670 | ** ''Film/X2XMenUnited'': Wolverine gives a rather effective "Holy shit" upon seeing Lady Deathstrike's claws. |
| 671 | ** ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'': As the DVD's deleted scenes reveal, it was originally poised to have one of these: "Mr. President, shut the fuck up!" The final cut of the film is actually the least profane of the trilogy, with not even a "shit" making it through. The most TV-unfriendly word in the movie is "dickhead." |
| 672 | *** The iconic line (and AscendedMeme), ''"I'm the'' '''Juggernaut''', ''[[WebVideo/MyWayEntertainment bitch]]!"'' |
| 673 | ** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': During a montage of Charles and Erik finding and recruiting other mutants, their search brings them into a small, dingy bar where [[spoiler:Wolverine]] has no interest in their offer: "Go fuck yourself." Doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}}. Not only [[Creator/HughJackman the actor]] himself said he mostly accepted because of his line, but Rebecca Romijn said she wanted it in her cameo, too. |
| 674 | ** ''Film/TheWolverine'': All are spoken by Logan. |
| 675 | *** "Go fuck yourself, pretty boy." |
| 676 | *** The extended cut adds two more: "Too many fucking wars," and later when interrogating the corrupt Minister of Justice: |
| 677 | ---->'''Wolverine''': You have ten words--''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis TEN. WORDS.]]''--to explain to me why you, the ''Minister of Justice'', would want to have your fiancée killed by the Yakuza, and if I don't like what you say, ''you are going through that fucking window''. |
| 678 | ** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': |
| 679 | *** Charles Xavier, of all people, tells Wolverine to "Fuck off" in a CallBack to their first encounter. |
| 680 | *** ''The Rogue Cut'' has President Nixon grumpily utter, "Fuck me" after watching news footage of the Paris Peace Accords. |
| 681 | ** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': Magneto has the honour this time around when he comes face-to-face with Apocalypse and his then-three Horsemen. ("Who the fuck are you?") |
