I counted the amount of F-Words in this movie and there's 429 and if anyone can try to prove me wrong they can actually watch the movie and stop screwin around.
Movies like this suck like when they rely on audiences that rent movies for this *beep* language. I mean casino was tolerable because it at least was entertaing and had a good plot but this one is like a *beep* comedy for the poor. Thats all i have to say.
Unfortunately thats exactly how the type of people portrayed in this film talk. Like it or not, the film is very realistic in its depiction of working class south east londoners. And counting the amount of swear words in a film is pretty sad.
shareI totally agree Leonard Pine, its the same here in the North East. Its meant to be a true picture of life for some people. Its awful, but it happens, and thats the way they speak.
shareProbably why i find watching Nil By Mouth such a gruelling experience is because it is so close to home. The people portrayed in the film are unfortunately a dime a dozen where i come from. Much as i think it's an excellent film, i do find it a very depressing watch.
shareI got a bit cheesed off with the amount of profanity in Scarface toward the end. To think that this film has got basically double, I'll give it a miss.
shareok counting the number of 'f-words' is used is a little over the top,i can imagine your one of those americans who don't 'cuss' but i could be wrong,you could just be easily offended.What makes this film excellent is the realism,things are actually like this in,i would imagine all large british cities. Where i live in Scotland people do actually talk like this,you have to recognise that this film isn't trying to make you smile or laugh,it trying to tell it like it really is - and a damn good job is has done - hats off to Oldman

Seriously, who *beep* gives a *beep*? "*beep*" is just another *beep* word. For *beep*'s sake, people, the vice *beep* president of the United *beep* States can tell someone on the floor of *beep* Congress to go *beep* himself. What the *beep*? If the word "*beep*" *beep* offends you, then why in the holy *beep* name of *beep* are you not *beep* offended by the copious *beep* uses of the word *beep* in this film as well? Isn't *beep* far more offensive than "*beep*"? Most *beep* women would *beep* say so, I *beep* dare to say. And yes, in case any of you *beep* want to start a *beep* thread or *beep* reply to this post because I *beep* decided to *beep* use the word *beep* as often as *beep* possible in this post, I did it to prove a *beep* point. "*beep*" is just another word. And while we are on the topic of "*beep*", which is one of the most versatile *beep* words in the English *beep* language, why can we not say "*beep*" in a post, but quotes, trivia, and parental *beep* advisory sections on IMDB can? *beep* explain that *beep* *beep* to me. *beep* hypocrisy. Ah, well. Welcome to *beep* America, where hypocrisy is welcomed and *beep* encouraged. To quote *beep* Cartman "It's just a *beep* word, bitch. *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep*."
shareLike everyone here has said, this is meant to be a realistic portrayal of life in that part of Britain. People talk like that everywhere, it just depends on who you're talking to. And Casino was crap, except for the pen stabing, that was pretty funny.
shareHave you ever considered getting a life? What sort of nutcase counts the amount of swear words then complains? Just dont show it to your kids if your that bothered.
sharethere are 470 F words in the movie
I've never had the kind of friends like those when i was 12. jesus, who does? - Stand By Me

I regret to inform you of your ingnorance in the art of film. The audience that views this type of film is not watching if for the language, but for the drama; realism in film.
One of your limited view of the world would do well to research a film's content before viewing it.
P.S. Duh.
but dont u think it was t little too excessive? the language...hell.this was worst than 8 mile...
shareFirstly, if you find this type of language offensive then quite simply... don't watch the film. And certainly don't sit there counting the swear words to then complain about them on the internet.
Secondly if you think the language is offensive then you are simply not taking into account the views of the people on this board and the user comments on the film. Put simply: This amount of language is exactly the same as the people use in real life.
That may sound hard to believe but it isn't. The character portrayals in this film are spot on and they are made all the more spot on because the profanity levels they use are true to life.
.
I'm sorry to say it, but there are lots of people who speak like that in this country. It was very realistic.
I watched this film for the first time last night. It was an emotional rollercoaster but at the same time it looked all too familiar. Great film but difficult to watch, but not because of the awearing but because of the gritty reality.
"*beep* comedy for the poor" - what? What' funny about this film? If you don't like swearing avoid Deptford and for that matter Sloane Square - Londoners swear a lot.
Isn't language odd - if I say sex or fanny no-one particularly minds (hopeflly) but if I say *beep* or *beep* I immediately cause offence - both words mean the same thing...
