Adam Sandler’s film Uncut Gems has the seventh most f-words in film history, it has been revealed.

In a recent update on the list of films with the most f-words, the thriller now features in the top 10 with 408 mentions, which equates to three per minute.

Topping the leaderboard is Swearnet: The Movie ,which includes 935 mentions of the word. The next scripted film on the list is Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street ,which contains 569 f-words in 180 minutes.

Uncut Gems is just behind Scorsese’s 1995 film Casino, in which the word features 422 times.

Uncut Gems is the latest film from acclaimed directors Josh and Benny Safdie, whose previous credits include The Pleasure of Being Robbed, Daddy Longlegs, Heaven Knows What and Good Time.

The movie, which has garnered rave reviews, stars Sandler as a gambling addict and has been hailed by critics as like “being locked inside the pin-wheeling brain of a lunatic”.

Uncut Gems will be released in UK cinemas on 10 January and on Netflix from 31 January.
