I think Scarface with Al Pacino was clocked at having some very high number
of F-words, like over 200!
But that's a rather old film...

I don't know, Good Fellas (which I really liked) and Glengarry Glen Ross
(which I really didn't like) both had a lot of "that" word in them.

Scarface had the most, but that was a fairly old edition I read (1991).
As I recall, Jungle Fever has more than it, although surely Harlem Nights
is in with a shout.
Glengarry Glen Ross and Midnight Run both had about 120-130 fucks in them,
although Glengarry also had two cunts.
Is cunt considered more offensive than fuck? You hardly ever hear it said in
a mainstream film. Other than Glengarry, the only ones I can think of are in
Castaway, Christine, Withnail and I, Last Tango In Paris and An Innocent Man.
Any others?

Yes, but then a few minutes later, Clarice repeats the phrase with a lot more

You mean words like frolic and fruitcake and filibuster?
That is a tough one...
Of course if you mean words like fuck and fucker that's another story.
My guess would be _Scarface_.

There must be a reason this word is more taboo than fuck. In most parts of the

Midnight Run: "Here comes two words for you - shut the hell up!"
The bloke who edits films for the BBC actually admitted that they'd probably have
gotten less complaints if they'd shown Midnight Run unedited!
The art of editing films for TV in the UK actually has a name - "Funstering",
after Mel Gibson exclaimed "Let's get the funsters!" in a particularly badly
dubbed version of Lethal Weapon.
I liked one of the other lines cleaned up in Lethal Weapon - "Get in the YELLOW
car."

seemed surgical attached to the word. In the Australian

I think an honorable mention should go to Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.
The language is almost crystal clean through the whole movie, except one
part no more than sixty seconds long, where Steve Martin rattles off more
"f-----g" words than I've ever heard in such a short length of time.
The funny part is, I was cracking up, and I don't usually appreciate such
language. There's Steve Martin for you.

Leonardo DiCaprio rips off quite a string of F bombs in "This Boy's Life".
I really wasn't crazy about it, but I gotta admit it was a good movie
and he did a great job. What I really don't like is when they have really
young kids using the F-bomb like in "Big" and "RoboCop II".

My husband and I saw the movie "Green Card" a while back, and we
recall that at the end the immigration inspectors gave the hero his
green card when they saw that he and the woman he'd married had
actually fallen in love. However, last night my husband saw the movie
on TV, and the end was far more depressing -- in spite of the two people
being obviously in love, the hero was driven away and returned to France.
Are we remembering the movie wrong, or are there two versions?

Are you sure it's not? It is frequent practice to re-do dialog for films
here in the U.S. for television showing. When this is intended for a
major network, at any rate, the re-looping is usually done with a
significant budget, and with the original actors providing the new dialog.
The most extensive example I remember was the redone version of _Do The
Right Thing_, where they replaced every use of the (very frequently used)
adjective "fucking" with "stinking". It didn't hurt the flow of dialog at
all; by the sound of it, they actually reread all the lines! On the other
hand, the looping wasn't as carefully matched visually as it might have
been -- you could see that the dialog was a bit out of sync with the film
at times.

Well, in Britain, it depends on the TV channel, and when they are showing it.
Network TV (ie NOT satellite) can show some pretty nasty films uncut, (recent
examples include Blue Velvet, Wild At Heart, The Godfather part II, The Deer
Hunter, Total Recall etc) but it varies wildly!

In the UK, the networks don't really have a consistant policy regarding the
editing of films. If they do choose to loop out some bad language, it just isn't
as easy to get hold of the original actor than it is in America, so often you'll
hear a great big star sounding as if he's a technician at a British TV studio
putting on a terrible US accent!
Do they really cut every film drastically for US networks, even if they are very
highly acclaimed? "Do The Right Thing" was shown uncut here by the BBC a fair
while ago.
Sometimes, the main commercial network here (We have two BBC channels and two
commercial channels - each has one general and one minority channel) will buy
a version of a film from a US network and show it, and it usually causes much
amusement. Cutting words like "pee" (Someone To Watch Over Me) is a little
extreme! They've more or less stopped doing this now - for one thing the film was
usually supplied in NTSC format, and looked awful by the time it had been changed
to PAL.

Here in L.A., I remember a few years ago they showed "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's
Nest" uncut on channel 5 (broadcast TV). They left in all of the "fucks", and
after each commercial break aired a warning.

It's so nice that this conversation is broading into new heights.
The most memorable use of the c**t - word was in The Silence Of The
Lambs.
Dr. Lecter : What did Miggs say to you ?

I second that!
Someone posted a while back about the most imaginative use of expletives in a movie.
Well, I myself usually hate foul language, especially when it's self serving and
unnecessary. PT&A however pulled it off! The only movie so far that I can say this about
(Coming to America is close second - see below).
After all Neal Page has been thru, you can't help but sympathize with the guy. That, plus
the familiarity of the totally disinterested and rude attendant, perfectly built up
to Page's outburst. It was precisely because of the type of person he was that the
scene was totally hilarious. I was laughing real hard at that scene because
IT WAS FUNNY! As I mentioned (IMHO) one of only two scenes where expletives were actually
used in a funny way.
The other (from Coming to America):
Prince Hakeem (in his Queens apartment in NYC) goes out onto the balcony
early in the morning and starts yelling, exulting and taking in the fresh air.
This does not bode well with some of the neighbours who yell at him:
- Hey, fuck you!
Hakeem (innocently, thinking this to be some sort of greeting):
- Yes! Yes! And fuck you too!
Now *that* was also truly funny.
