Quentin Tarantino has never been a fan of linguistic subtlety. The legendary 1994 indie darling doesn't just push the envelope of profanity; it obliterates it. Over the 154-minute runtime, the f-word is fired off like a verbal machine gun, averaging almost two f-bombs per minute. At the time, it held the record for the most uses of the word in a major motion picture, essentially turning creative swearing into an Oscar-winning art form.
