This is a list of commercially released films containing more than 100 spoken uses of the word fuck (or one of its derivatives), ordered by the number of such uses.
The data in this list are derived from various sources, but the statistics from the Family Media Guide (FMG) are considered the most reliable. FMG derives its statistics from the independent film revenue organization PSVratings; each statistic from PSVratings was compiled by a panel of three reviewers. If FMG does not cover a particular movie, other sources may be acceptable; see the Resources section for these.

Notes
edit- ^ An earlier cut of the movie, shown at the AFI Los Angeles International Film Festival, incorrectly stated the movie contained 629 uses of the word fuck.
