Like most of Tarantino's movies, Reservoir Dogs boasts its fair share of profanity, with an impressive 421 uses of blue language over its mere 99 minutes runtime, including 269 instances of the word "f**k", which is the 27th-highest usage of the word in any single movie.

The fact that Pulp Fiction's total swear count is only slightly higher at 469 despite lasting almost a full hour longer is a testament to just how foul-mouthed this movie truly is. That's an average of 4.25 curses per minute, including the credits.
