Sir Swears A Lot / Live-Action Films

• The entire 21 Jump Street film series is such an epic swear-fest that it's almost easier to list characters that cuss all the time than it is to name ones that don't. However, there is still no one else that can match the proficiency of the well-oiled swearing machine that is Captain Dickson.
• Kyle in 50/50 (2011), although considering he's played by Seth Rogen, this probably doesn't surprise anyone.
• A good amount of the characters in Aliens swear at some point or another, but Hudson in particular is a raging whirlwind of profanity. Hudson's dialogue alone accounts for almost two-thirds of all F-bombs dropped in the film.
• Steve Stifler from the American Pie series:
  Stifler: Observe the fucking Stifmeister. What is his defining characteristic?
  Jim: He uses the 'F' word excessively.
  Stifler: [genuinely touched] Thanks, man.
• Marty McFly from Back to the Future is noticeably more foul-mouthed than everyone else in the film^note due to Profanity Marching On between the 1950s and the 1980s, mostly, with "damn" and "hell" being regular parts of his vocabulary. He even tries to get others to do it more.
  George: You really think I ought to swear?
  Marty: Yes god damn it George, swear!
• Several characters in Bad Santa, but Marcus tops all of them.
  Marcus: Sketch it up, you fucking moron. Fucking Leonardo DaVinci.
  Gin: [angrily] What'd you call me, thigh-high?
  Marcus: I called you a fucking guinea homo from the 15th fucking century, you dickhead!
• The Dude and Walter in The Big Lebowski:
  The Stranger: Do you have to use so many cuss words?
  The Dude: What the fuck are you talking about?
  Walter: Do you see what happens, Larry when you FUCK A STRANGER IN THE ASS!?!
• Frank Booth from Blue Velvet who drops F-bombs at least once per sentence. Made more apparent in that he is the only character in the film to use the word (besides a character who does it at Frank's request).
• Osbourne Cox from Burn After Reading, who is responsible for approximately half of the F-words in the entire film. Unlike other examples, he only curses when he's angry but since he has a Hair-Trigger Temper, this happens almost all the time.
• Ralphie's dad from A Christmas Story, though it's mostly just unintelligible shouting due to censoring.
  Adult Ralphie: My father worked in profanity the way other artists might work in oils or clay. It was his true medium, a master.
• Chucky has a legendarily foul mouth. He can’t get through a single sentence without swearing. Even his very first lines in the franchise as the doll have him cussing out Andy’s mum.
• The Cottage: Tracey, the Mafia Princess slash kidnapping victim, may look sweet, but her dialogue is approximately half profanity.
• Inspector Neilson in Cradle of Fear uses language that would make a sailor blush, and seems incapable of uttering a simple sentence without peppering it with profanities. He does not even moderate his language in front of his boss: even dropping the C-bomb on one occasion. Fortunately for him, Da Chief seems to be remarkably understanding.
• Every sentence spoken by the killer in Curse of the Zodiac is laced with profanities.
• Wade Wilson in Deadpool.
• Everybody swears in The Departed, but Sgt. Dignam hardly says a sentence without using a swear word.
  Queenan: Staff Sergeant Dignam has a style of his own. I'm afraid we all have to get used to it.
• Wikus van de Merwe in District 9.
• Nino in Drive (2011).
• Nathan from Ex Machina, uses the F word casually and liberally in conversation. Since the other characters hardly swear at all, it really stands out that he swears more than the rest of the cast put together.
• Pazuzu in The Exorcist, the demon that takes Demonic Possession of Regan and causes her to scream lots of obscenities.
• Vanessa Lutz from Freeway who swears in nearly every sentence with a Southern accent. She could be the queen of the trope.
  Vanessa Lutz: Well, pee in there, motherfucker!
  Vanessa Lutz: Yeah, well, I get claustrophobic sucking strange dick!
• Ethel in Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning, who constantly drops f-bombs.
• Gunnery Sergeant Hartman and Animal Mother in Full Metal Jacket. The former is a master Drill Sergeant Nasty who has swearing down to an art form that lets him easily condition insolent new recruits, browbeating them into submission. The latter is a young, gung-ho military brat with a foolish, hot-blooded confrontational streak.
• Selena Gomez says even more profanities as Dot in The Fundamentals of Caring.
• The Kid from Getaway. She says a variety of profanities from damn to shit in nearly every sentence.
  The Kid: Hey, watch where you're going, asshole!!!
• Ray "Bones" Barboni in Get Shorty. "They say the fuckin' smog is the fuckin' reason you have such beautiful fuckin' sunsets."
• Girlfight: Diana is foul-mouthed, dropping a number of f-bombs throughout the film. Some other characters are dismayed and try to have her tone this down, but she doesn't.
• Zbigniew Religa in Gods. In one scene, the assistants keep count of his swears during a surgery, calling out "Blackjack!" when he drops his twenty-first one.
• Happy Gilmore: After he misses a putt, the censor-bleeps can't keep up with him.
• Lieutenant Vincent Hanna from the 1995 film Heat. Not surprising seeing as how he's played by Al Pacino, the same man who gave us Tony Montana from Scarface (1983). In fact, this Trope can be applied to any character played by Pacino starting with Scarface.
• Heavenly Creatures has John/Nicholas, who says "Damn" a lot.
• The Hunger Games: Catching Fire: Johanna Mason dropped the (censored) Cluster F-Bomb on live TV.
• In Bruges: Harry peppers every other noun in his speech with a "fucking" adjective.
  "Geez, he swears a lot, doesn't he?"
• James Bond: Sheriff J.W. Pepper from the James Bond installments, Live and Let Die and The Man with the Golden Gun swears noticeably often for any character from a James Bond movie. He even came close to being the first one in the entire series to use the F-word but was censored on a couple of occasions. That honor now belongs to M in Skyfall.
• Roman Moronie in Johnny Dangerously sends this up.
  "What a mouth on that guy!"
• Hit-Girl from the Kick-Ass movies, more notable due to her young age (12 in the first and 15 in the second). Quite tellingly, in the second movie her guardian had set up a swear jar at the start of it, and by the end, she finished filling the second one.
• Almost everyone in Kingsman: The Secret Service, even the snobs. Understandable given that the main character hails from a rough part of London.
• Lake Placid: Dolores Bickerman, played very much against type by the late Betty White, is an older widow with a very colorful volcabulary.
• Gawain MacSam from the remake of The Ladykillers (2004). A couple of the one scene characters shown near the beginning such as Weemack and the tv commercial director could qualify as well. Gee, The Coen Brothers sure like having these types of characters in their movies, don't they?
• Little Miss Sunshine has the grandpa, and later on, Dwayne, starting when he realizes he's color blind and therefore, can't fly planes. He breaks his vow of silence with an enormous Atomic F-Bomb, and from there, most of his limited dialogue consists of one small Cluster F-Bomb after another.
• Magnolia:
  • It's a pretty memorable trait of Tom Cruise's character.
  • Earl and Linda Partridge are also pretty good examples of this trope, especially Linda. This is already a movie where a lot of the characters are quite liberal when it comes to using Cluster F Bombs, but in just about every scene Linda's in, she exaggerates this trope, which is quite an accomplishment in a movie like that.
• Main Street Meats: When Cherry is riding the tow truck into town at the start of the movie, the radio DJ she's listening to says a LOT of words that get bleeped out.
• Charlie's "sons" in Me, Myself & Irene, mainly due to Charlie allowing them to watch Richard Pryor stand-up comedy at a very young age, and Chris Rock stand-up when they are older. Given their intelligence, this is also liberally coupled with Sophisticated as Hell, particularly when they're reading (in German) from a helicopter instruction manual.
• The Abe Lincoln Impersonator in Mister Lonely. "I'm Abe Fucking Lincoln!" indeed.
• My Days of Mercy: Lucy, who swears fairly often, especially in contrast with Mercy, who doesn't.
• A Nightmare on Elm Street: Freddy Krueger in later films. He especially loves calling his female victims ‘bitch’
• Inverted in The Objective. While other characters swear almost constantly, Benjamine Keynes does not utter a single damn, hell, or even goshdarn it in the entire movie, which is impressive considering the psychological trauma he experiences.
• Joe Pesci: He's this in almost everything he's in. His performances in Goodfellas and Casino are particularly infamous in this regard. Averted in Home Alone and its sequel, appropriately enough; instead of actual swear words, Harry curses in Angrish—the worst word we actually hear him say is "cojones". Allegedly, director Chris Columbus created a Swear Jar to discourage this sort of thing around the child actors, and Pesci was said to have filled it in a single day. In The Movies that Made Us, Columbus recalls that Pesci told him that outside of Martin Scorsese films, he'd usually pick scripts that had as much colorful language possible. Surprisingly downplayed in My Cousin Vinny, where, although he does his share of swearing as Vinny, Marisa Tomei (Mona) actually swears more than him.
• Precious' mother Mary in Precious.
• Tom Cruise is the sole reason for Rain Man's R rating. His character, Charlie Babbitt, is the only one who swears in the movie, which has no significant acts of violence or sex.
• Rambo IV: Louis, the leader of the band of mercenaries, is responsible for over half of the movie's profanity.
  Louis: Look at this fucking place. Only a fucking ape would live here. What the fuck am I doing here?!
• In Ready or Not (2019), none of the adult characters seem inhibited about language, but Grace is by far the foulest-mouthed character. Not that she doesn't have good reason....
• Nice Guy Eddie and Mr. Pink in Reservoir Dogs.
• Hob from RoboCop 2. Not one of the biggest examples, but he's a pre-teen kid who benefits from drug dealing and cop killing, so foul language, while surprising considering his age, isn't entirely unexpected.
  Hob: [to RoboCop] Can't shoot a kid, can you, fucker?
• Jeff in Safety Not Guaranteed.
• While some of them swear more than others, pretty much every relevant (and non-relevant with enough dialogue) character in the Saw series has a very colorful language. The one who swears the least is Jigsaw himself, John Kramer, and when he does it's meant to hit hard.
• Detective David Mills from Se7en.
  Mills: Fucking Dante! Goddamn poetry-writing faggot; piece of shit! Fucker!
• Don Logan in Sexy Beast. The rest of the cast are plenty profane by themselves, but Don leads by a country mile due to sheer inventiveness ("Honkin' jam-rag fucking spunk-bubble!"), cluster f-bombs in nearly every line, the fact that everything in the world makes him angry, and - for bonus points - being played by a genuine Sir, Sir Ben Kingsley.
• The Shawshank Redemption has abundant swearing throughout, but a lot of it comes from Captain Byron Hadley.
• In Shredder Orpheus, Axel dishes out a majority of the film's profanity and peppers his sentences with swear words, with other characters cursing only once or not at all. In the second half of the film, Linus frequently curses as he attempts to get Orpheus to move on from Eurydice and go to scheduled gigs, to no avail.
• Tiffany from Silver Linings Playbook. It's part of her tough-girl appeal.
• Star Wars:
  • If C-3P0 is anything to go by, R2-D2 has quite the dirty mouth… er… vocoder. The fact his speech is rendered entirely with beeps has certainly lent itself to Memetic Mutation in this regard.
  • Even more so in Star Wars Legends literature, where astromech droids as a whole have become an entire… er… race of foul-mouthed Deadpan Snarkers.
• Despite her cute looks, Jin-hee from Sunny was infamous in her high school for having a strong mouth.
• Charles and Cary from Super 8, especially Charles. If you pay attention, somewhere between 80 to 90 percent of that language in the film is from these two alone, in large part because of their tendency to drop Cluster S Bombs whenever the gang gets in stressful situations.
• In Transit, Shane Sidwell is a rebellious teenager who swers a lot primarily because it aggravates his father Nate. His mother Robyn's comments indicate that this behaviour may only have started since Nate was released from prison.
• People swear in Tropic Thunder, but Tom Cruise's character is possibly the king of this trope. He has a dirtier mouth than Eric Cartman and Jay put together.
  "First, take a big step back and literally FUCK YOUR OWN FACE!"
• Kevin Griswold from Vacation the younger son of Rusty who's around 10, constantly drops f-bombs.
• In The View Askewniverse, Silent Bob doesn't talk much, but Jay tends to cuss enough for both of them.
• Terrence Fletcher from Whiplash can't seem to voice one sentence in his music class without using foul language. (when he doesn't do so, he's probably screaming given how his method goes)
• Most of Laird Mayhew's sentences from Why Him? are laced with profanity, which he attributes as a nervous habit.
• Justified in Demolition Man with John Spartan and Simon Phoenix when they find themselves in the future society of San Angeles, a False Utopia where even swearing is banned via the Verbal Morality Statue and enforced by a Sinister Surveillance network. Because the two are Fish out of Temporal Water, they are unaccustomed to this law and wind up racking a hefty pile of fines throughout the film.
