TWO F-Bombs?!

When Frank chastises Will for cutting in too many cars, Will says:

"You've been on my ass this whole *beep* trip!"

Then Frank tells him they'll just "green-sheet it and move on", to which Will says "Come on! If we green-sheet it, it's my ass, man! I *beep* up, alright?!"

They tried to hide the second one behind Frank's comment about Will's last name, but it was definitely there. Not that I have a problem with it, but I've gotta wonder how they snuck that by the MPAA...

You can put up to three (rarely more) F-bombs in a PG-13 film. I've heard five at the most; can't remember what movie it was, though. And I've heard 3 in a John Travolta movie. The fact that there's little else to fault the film for is probably why it got away with two F-bombs--that, and the fact that one of them was pretty much talked over.

I didn't know that i thought a PG13 film had to be mostly swear word free like the F word, especially the F word.

Sure, but it also depends on how much objectionable content surrounds the words, along with the frequency the words are used. Which is probably why this movie got away with it; only one person died (accidentally) and the rest of the movie simply involved stopping a runaway train from causing a disaster.
