While coarse language in cinema is penalized by a 13 or 16-year-old rating (in American cinema), some authors don't care at all. This is the case with these 20 films that are considered the crudest of all time.
20) Narc
Released in 2003, Narc is perhaps Joe Carnahan's best film. Led by Jason Patric and Ray Liotta, Narc is a edgy, dark, uncompromising, and unrestricted thriller that boasts 297 fucks in its 1 hour 40 minutes.
19) Goodfellas
The immense classic with Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Ray Liotta is only the first Martin Scorsese film on this list. There will be others. With 300 insults in a 2.5-hour film, Scorsese is just getting warmed up.
18) Menace to Society
Released in 1994, Menace to Society is an African-American cultural reference. A real hard-hitting film, it tells the story of the descent into hell of young people in violent and disadvantaged neighborhoods of Los Angeles. Directed by the Hughes brothers, it is a cult classic driven by an iconic rap soundtrack. On the swear side, Menace to Society counts 305 fucks.
17) Martin Lawrence live: Runteldat
This is a relatively unknown documentary about the actor and comedian Martin Lawrence (Bad Boys). A documentary in the image of the actor: irreverent, free, and extremely crude, with its 311 fucks.
16) Sweet Sixteen
Just because Ken Loach makes social films doesn't mean he doesn't have the right to talk like a carter. Released in 2002, Sweet Sixteen immerses viewers in Scotland's underprivileged communities and follows the adventures of Liam, a 13-year-old teenager who has had to fend for himself since his mother went to prison. 313 insults that led to a ban for those under 18 in Great Britain.
15) The Fear in the Belly
Led by Paul Walker and Vera Farmiga, The Fear in the Belly is a little-known crime film released in 2006. A dark and violent thriller that wanders between the Italian mafia and the Russian mafia. Insults fly, bullets fly, and director Wayne Kramer creates a truly dark atmosphere. At the end? 315 insults.
14) Twin Town
A British crime comedy led by the Ifans brothers, Twin Town is a particularly crude little gangster film. Released in 1996, the film is worth seeing for its 318 insults alone. The English definitely don't have the most refined vocabulary...
13) State Property
Directed by Abdul Malik Abbott, State Property is a gangster film that follows a young criminal who wants to climb the ladder of the underworld. His rise will obviously not go as planned and also generates 321 insults.
12) End of Watch
End of Watch is undoubtedly the best film of David Ayer's career. Led by Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena, the film follows the daily lives of two cops in the rough neighborhoods of Los Angeles. It's violent, filthy, and terribly rude with its 326 fucks.
11) Fists against the walls
A hard-hitting British thriller with a poignant social message, Fists Against the Wall is a little gem released in 2014. Immersed in the prison environment, an uncompromising vision of the reality of British prisoners, Fists Against the Wall boasts 337 insults in 1 hour 46 minutes of footage. Not bad.
10) Alpha Dog
A little classic of the genre released in 2007, Alpha Dog is undoubtedly the most famous film of Nick Cassavetes's career. Casting-wise, it was a big deal, as the cast included Emile Hirsch, Justin Timberlake, Sharon Stone, Ben Foster, Olivia Wilde, Amanda Seyfried, and Bruce Willis. As for language, it reached 367 insults.
9) N.W.A. Straight Outta Compton
The highly successful biopic about the rap group NWA, unsurprisingly, counts no fewer than 392 fucks. It took at least that much to bring back to life Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, and Snoop Dog.
8) Uncut Gems
Directed by the Safdie brothers and released on Netflix in 2020, Uncut Gems offers Adam Sandler an impressive and exciting character role. The American actor, accustomed to mainstream comedies, transcends himself completely in this dark and suffocating thriller. Very talkative, the film counts 408 insults!
7) Casino
After Goodfellas, it's time for Casino.A huge classic with Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone and Joe Pesci, this immense thriller in the gambling world counts 422 fucks.
6) Do not swallow
Released in 1997, Don't Swallow is the forgotten film by Gary Oldman. Directed by him, the feature film is a poignant drama about an ordinary family living in South London. An autobiographical film about the youth of the Oscar-winning actor in which he sought to be as transparent as possible. As is often the case with English films, the characters' extremely coarse vocabulary raises the bar to 428 insults.
5) Summer of Sam
It would have been surprising if Spike Lee hadn't joined this list. Released in 2000, led by John Leguizamo and Adrien Brody, Summer of Sam sets its plot in the summer of 1977. A summer marked by a historic heatwave and by the serial killer The Son of Sam. Result? 435 insults!
4) Besieged
A B-movie released directly Direct-to-DVD in 2020, Besieged re-enacts a particularly violent battle that pitted 53 American soldiers against nearly 400 Taliban during the War in Afghanistan. Lots of violence and 445 fuck.
3) The Wolf of Wall Street
Scorsese is back with his famous The Wolf of Wall Street. Released in 2013, Martin Scorsese's juggernaut made a lasting impression thanks to the impactful performances of Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie and, of course, Leonardo Di Caprio. A freewheeling Leonardo, responsible for some of the 569 insults uttered.
2) Fuck
Steve Anderson's documentary film lives up to its name. It must be said that Fuck is a pleasant documentary that examines the mythology surrounding the word fuck. It examines its origins, history, influences, and place in society. So obviously, Fuck offers viewers a nice score of 857 fucks pronounced.
1) Swearnet
Released in 2022 on Netflix, Swearnet holds the record for insults with a score that approaches the 1000 insults pronounced in less than 2 hours of filming. A little-known American comedy led by the trio of Trailer Park Boys who boast from the start of using 76 times the word "shit", 79 times the word "cock"... and 935 times the word "fuck". Record broken!
