Martin Scorsese is known for his profane protagonists, but The Wolf of Wall Street starring Leonardo DiCaprio even broke a record for most F-bombs.
The Big Picture You'll likely never hear Martin Scorsese swear, much less utter the dreaded f-word. When asked of his favorite curse word on Inside the Actor's Studio, the renowned filmmaker coyly replied, "I'm too Catholic. I can't say it. I think Joe Pesci could express it better." But despite his reticence, he's never hesitated to let his vulgar freak flag fly via potty-mouthed characters in his films.
While most audiences were able to bask in The Wolf of Wall Street's record-breaking barrage of language with unrestrained glee, some international viewers were robbed of such an opportunity. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Scorsese's film was banned in parts of the Middle East and Asia.
How Many Swear Words Are in 'The Wolf of Wall Street' in Total? After one watches The Wolf of Wall Street, this profanity-laced distinction should hardly come as a surprise. In keeping with the film's overall excessive content, its pervasive use of language is only fitting in depicting a world without boundaries, limitations, or general decency.
