When I first saw Casino I remember thinking that it contained more f-words than any movie I had seen and someone has done this f-only edit of the film.
The world record for most uses of the word is a 2005 documentary called (appropriately) Fuck with 824 uses of the word, which works out at 8.86 per minute.
When it comes to feature films, Summer of Sam (1999) follows with 435 and then Nil By Mouth (1997) with 428.
Casino comes in on 398 and then Alpha Dog (2007) with 367.
Have you ever laughed or sighed when a film on TV has a ridiculous piece of editing to replace ‘offensive’ language?
This Basic Instinct video that compares the original film with the badly dubbed version altered for sensitive TV audiences.
Check out the differences between Scarfaceand the US TV cut (“this town is like one big chicken, just waiting to get plucked!”):
How about the safe-for-TV version of Die Hard 2? (“Hey turkey!”):
Or what about this scene from the TV edit of The Big Lebowski, with possibly the strangest substitute line ever? (“This is what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps!”)
And what about Casino, where the f-word is said 422 times?
This scene with De Niro and Pesci in the desert finds a way of avoiding it completely (“You better get your own fighting army pal!”):
