10 Most Epic Uses Of F*ck In Movie History

2. Yippee-Ki-Yay (Die Hard)

The Scene: It's the moment that created arguably the most famous line in action-movie history, and there's a good reason for that; it's damn cool.

As John McClane (Bruce Willis) slowly murders his way through the Nakatomi Plaza, he acquires a radio and gets some quality one-on-one time with Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman).

After one of their conversations (involving John Wayne and Rambo, no less) ends with Hans questioning McClane's ability to take the terrorists down, McClane quips "yippee-ki-yay, motherf*cker" in response, leaving Hans completely speechless.

Epic stuff.

Humour Rating: The way Willis stays upbeat in this most dire of situations is incredibly fun to watch, and the fact that this moment of levity is juxtaposed with all the death and violence makes it that much funnier. Rickman's p*ssed off reaction heightens the chuckles. 7/10

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
