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
