What movie has the most swear words

I know south park BLU has 399 swear words, and 128 offensive gestures according to the book of world records is the worst one amongst animation, but what about live action?

All I know is whenever I tried to play the Reservoir Dogs drinking game, which is to take a drink whenever anyone swore, I never finished the movie.

JASBSB has like around 250 f words acording to screenit.com but Goodfellas sounds close since every other word out of Peci's mouth was the f word.

i've never been to "screenit.com" before, but i find these sites highly amusing. sure, parents need to screen movies for their kids. but isn't "hey, there's a lot of swearing and nudity" enough for someone to know not to let the kids see it? do we really need this:

At least 259 "f" words, 36 "s" words, 10 slang terms for male genitals (the "d," "c," and "p" words along with "rod" and "Johnson"), 1 slang term for female genitals ("beaver"), 22 "ass" words (6 using "hole"), 7 hells, 2 damns, 1 S.O.B., and 7 uses of "G-damn," 5 of "Jesus," 2 of "Jesus Christ," and 1 use each of "Oh Jesus," "Lord," "By God," "For Christ's sakes" and "God" as exclamations.

that's a bit obsessive. or this:

Bunny wears a cleavage-revealing bikini.
Bunny tells The Dude (upon first meeting him), "I'll suck your c*ck for a thousand dollars" and then tells a butler that he'll have to pay one hundred dollars to watch.
From a distance we briefly see Maude's bare butt (in a thong) and her bare breasts as she turns around.
Maude tells The Dude that her artwork is often called "vaginal."
Maude asks The Dude, "Do you like sex...coitus?" She then says that she likes it too and then mentions women who engage in it compulsively, referring to Bunny.
Maude shows The Dude a porn videotape starring Bunny who we see in a skimpy outfit that reveals part of her butt. Another woman then walks in and we see her bare breasts.
We see several shots of a bare-breasted woman being tossed up and down in the air on a large tarp.
When a porn publisher talks about everything going electronic, The Dude says, "I still jerk off manually."
The Dude uses the side of a pencil to shade in what was written on a pad of paper (the indentation) and sees a drawing of a cartoon man with a large, erect penis.
It's implied that The Dude and Maude have sex as we see them afterwards in bed together and she comments on conceiving.

i can just see people going slow-mo through some horribly violent slasher flick cackling out "there's another bare breast! ooh, wait, now it's dismembered... so which category does that go in?

What about South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut? It may not have as many as JSBSB, but I think it's got to be up there...maybe not on the f-meter, but the other ones.

Isn't it "sware" words, not swear?

Tarantino movies have quite a few. As do Scorcese's.

I'm fairly certain it's "swear" words, but that's interesting because both "swear" and "sware" are S-WORDS, or as Mr. Connery calls them "Swords".

As for movies with lots of profanity, I'm thinking of Kevin Smith movies. Midnight Run has a lot also.

I remember reading somewhere that South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut holds the record, with Pulp Fiction second. I can't remember where I read it though.

Now, I have no idea what film would hold the record for the most unique swear words (as in, the F-word would count as one, no matter how many times it is repeated). Obviously, SP:BLU gets its high number from repetition of certain words (especially the one in that song about Kyle's mom).

I was bored one time and counted the times the "f" word was said in Big Lebowski, and I swear it was at least 270 times.

Man, I thought for sure i'd see Glengarry Glenross mentioned in the top three - but perhaps the more memorable and colorful uses of profanity employed by Pacino and Baldwin tips it to the top in my mind.....Can't wait for this to be released by the way

According to the IMDB it was Scarface, then Goodfellas, then South Park. So far anyway, I don't remember as much bad language in Jay and Silent Bob though.

I heard on the news or some entertainment site not too long after south park came out, that South Park had the most per minute, and Pulp Fiction had the most
