When “Deadpool & Wolverine” crashes onto Disney+, it’s expected to shatter records for the most f-bombs on the platform. In fact, the superhero duo makes quite the expletive-laden spectacle, hurling a staggering 118 f-words within its two-hour and seven-minute runtime. While this sets a franchise record, surpassing “Deadpool 2” with its 90 f-bombs, it falls short of dethroning other profanity-laden classics.
For context, let’s compare “Deadpool & Wolverine” to some legendary f-bomb champions. Oliver Stone’s iconic “Scarface” (1983) notorious for its linguistic liberties, clocks in with 226 f-bombs. The unforgettable Al Pacino as Tony Montana gave us lines like, “You fuck with me, you fuckin’ with the best!” providing memorable quotes that still resonate.
Quentin Tarantino’s masterpieces also shine in this vernacular. “Pulp Fiction” (1994) boasts 265 f-bombs, with Samuel L. Jackson delivering a variety of iconic and colorful quotes. Similarly, Tarantino’s “Reservoir Dogs” (1992) packed 269 f-bombs, cementing its place among the all-time greats. The Coen Brothers didn’t lag far behind with “The Big Lebowski” (1998), which surprisingly featured 260 f-bombs.
In the music biopic genre, “Straight Outta Compton” (2015) is a frontrunner, detailing the rise of N.W.A. with 392 f-bombs. Moving up the list, Martin Scorsese’s “Casino” (1995) hits a new high with a whopping 422. But the real heavyweights are “Uncut Gems” (2019) with 560 f-bombs, and “The Wolf of Wall Street” (2013) claiming the crown with an eye-watering 569 f-bombs.
While “Deadpool & Wolverine” may not clinch the ultimate title, its audacious attempt adds a bold flavor to Disney’s lineup. Let’s hear from you!
