I’m watching this movie, no plot whatsoever, and I start to wonder… I don’t care, it’s not like I’m offended or something, I’m just wondering. And who was bored enough to count? Oh wait, that movie wasn’t exactly one which someone watches intently, probably a few people had the time.
oh, another movie title (this one was a good one) “Good Will Hunting”.
Great movie.

Here’s a transcript. Why don’t you check, and get back to us with what you found?

Yup. I read a page of it, and based upon my skills in computer programming I could save them some paper:
1 PRINT “Fu#k you!”
2 PRINT “We’re fu#king lost!”
3 PRINT “What the fu#k did you do with the fu#king map?!”
4 Goto 1
(yes I have no life)
I just did, and the answer is 145.
(No I didn’t count it myself, it’s trivial with some Unix commands.)
I’m moving this to Cafe Society. Not because it’s about art or entertainment, but because it’s about a movie.
I don’t know or care how many times any word was said in The Blair Witch Project; I couldn’t watch it all the way through. Gave me a headache.

145? That’s nothing. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back has 227 f-word variations, according to screenit.com. 
On cable, I caught about thirty seconds of this movie that ran along the lines of:
“Hey! We’re fucking lost.”
“I know we’re fucking lost. Where’s the fucking map?”
Well, put down the fucking camera and help me fucking look!"
“Hey, both of you shut the fuck up!”
Watching my tonenails grow suddenly seemed like a much more intellectually stimulating activity, so I turned off the TV.
Unix commands? Sheesh, just do it in Word. Do a find and replace for “fuck” and you’re told, “Word has made 145 replacements.”
Could anyone do a count in the movie American History X?
I don’t know if it set a record, but I imagine the person with the most F bombs in a single film would have to be Dennis Farino in Get Shorty. That man revolutionized ways to use the f word.
This is easy to do. Get an ATI video card (I have two), select for it to capture the closed captions, put in video,
let it play, come back & look at the closed captioned transcript & search it with Word & youll
have your word count…
“Could anyone do a count in the movie American History X?”
How about for “Do The Right Thing”? When I saw that, my mother’s comment was that if you broadcast it, it would sound like an Emergency Broadcasting System test because it would be a constant bleeeeeping of the “F” word.
“Repo Man” seemed to use the F-word a lot as well…
American History X: At least 205 “f” words (11 used with “mother” and another 3 used sexually)
Get Shorty: 96 (2 used sexually, 1 with the prefix “mother”)
Both from http://www.screenit.com - he didn’t review Repo Man or Do the Right Thing.
What about Pulp Fiction or Scarface or South Park? Those have got to be the champs.
We have a new champ!
Pulp Fiction: At least 260 “f” words (40 used with “mother” – with another written on a wallet – and 4 used sexually)
South Park only had over 130.
Hmm… The Capalert guy only counted 136. Looks like someone was sleeping on the job…
As well, “Love and a .45”- a friend of mine reccomended it to me and told me how many times it was said; it was quite a few. But I don’t remember the number.
Not necessarily. The script linked to above is the Sundance version, which is longer than the widely-released version. So, more "fuck"s.
My South Park count: 144 "fuck"s.
My Pulp Fiction count: 185 "fuck"s.
My American History X count: 181 "fuck"s.
My Do The Right Thing count: 63 "fuck"s. Surprising.
My manual count of Scarface: 145 "fuck"s.
The Champ: Casino. 439 "fuck"s. It’s a much longer movie than the others, so they could fit in quite a few more.
