Martin Scorsese is no stranger to using the F-word in his movies

The 2013 Oscar-nominated biopic also made another bizarre record in Hollywood. The Wolf of Wall Street held the record for the most F-word in a film, with 569 instances and a rate of 2.81 times per minute. Previously, the record for a non-documentary was Spike Lee’s 1999 film Summer of Sam with 435 instances.
The Wolf Of Wall Street Created F-Word Record
Martin Scorsese helming The Wolf of Wall Street, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio as infamous Wall Street trader Jordan Belfort, can claim one triumph: no non-documentary film has ever dropped quite so many F-bombs.
According to a report by Variety, with 506 “f***” in its two-hour, 59-minute running time, Wolf uses profanity approximately 2.81 times a minute.

A breakdown of the profanity usage in the film by Vulture’s Gilbert Cruz reveals that Leonardo DiCaprio takes the lead in this explicit verbal onslaught, contributing a remarkable 332 expletives. Following him is his co-star Jonah Hill, known for his adept use of colorful language, with a substantial count of 107. Jon Bernthal’s character, the robust Brad, adds to the cacophony with 50 instances, while Margot Robbie‘s portrayal of Naomi registers a respectable 36 occurrences.
Martin Scorsese is no stranger to Using the F-word in His Movies
While Martin Scorsese may be a cinematic giant, his films aren’t shy about swearing, especially the f-word. However, pinpointing which of his movies holds the record for the highest number of f-bombs becomes an intriguing question.
Scorsese embarked on his directorial journey with Who’s That Knocking At My Door in 1967, marking the beginning of a career that would ultimately establish him as one of cinema’s preeminent auteurs.
Joe Pesci in Goodfellas
His films often wear their R-rating proudly, with many featuring brutal violence and a liberal dose of profanity. In fact, three of his masterpieces even crack the top 20 most swear-laden movies ever made!
The Oscar-winning director has two other projects in the f-word top 20- Casino (422) and Goodfellas (300), apart from The Wolf of Wall Street. The word “f*ck” appears 257 times in The Departed. That’s roughly once every two minutes, making it only Scorsese’s fourth most profane film.
