PG-13 movies only get one F word allowed. With Mark Wahlberg in the film, who can deliver a good "F bomb" as well as anybody in Hollywood; Why did they give their one F bomb to itty bitty Mila Kunis? It sounded so awkward coming from her. If you only have one to give, Let Mark Wahlberg deliver a good "F" so the whole audience feels it.

I'm sorry, what the hell does this post mean?
For this kind of rating, you're allowed to say "fluck" (without the l) once in a movie?
Edit: I hate this stupid censoring here. *beep* *beep*.
Yes. PG-13 movies are only allowed to use the big F once in a movie, generally speaking, there may be exceptions but for the most part that is the rule.
I'm just saying they should have let Wahlberg deliver it because it sounded stupid coming from Kunis. It wouldn't have saved this terrible movie, but something I noted.

Mark Wahlberg is in a dark ally when Mila Kunis puts a gun in his back and says something like, "Drop the F-ing gun,". But that's not an exact quote. Anyway, as soon as I heard it I was pissed they gave her the one *beep* a PG-13 is allowed.

BB Heansley says it too - at the end on the wharf: he says Joe to calm the F down
shareUh, I've seen plenty of PG-13 films with the f bomb used well over once. Where did you even hear that?

No you haven't. Really. This is a general rule put out by the ratings board. And only films made in the 70's or earlier may have gotten away with it. If there is more than one F word it get an R rating.
shareOk, so I'll erase every movie I've seen that was rated pg-13 that had the F word used more than once from my memory, because you said so.

Yeah or you could try actually watching those movies again. Until very recently it was a rule that two F words were not allowed. There are only 1 or 2 exceptions that I'm sure you haven't seen. And within 5 years there has been some relaxed standards because of shows like South Park that push the limits but you will still probably never see more then 2 *beep* in a movie. If you want to be a little shlt then go ahead but I'm right. Look it up f-ck face.
share*ahem* I'm pretty sure "Forrest Gump" (A PG-13 movie from the '90s that used the "f" word more than once) would like to have a word with you.
GetITpapi is a dumbass.

Interesting fact. Unless I'm wrong, I'm pretty sure PG-13 was invented and first used for Gremlins.

If that is the case, then why was The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button rated PG-13? That movie had the F word in it twice, xx.
shareIt's not the word, it's the context. It can be used in a "What the *beep*?" kind of way, but not sexually suggestive. There is no arbitrary number as to which rating can use the word how many times.
"Nothing says "OBEY ME" like a severed head on a fence post."
Speaking of F-word(s), it was a shame that the movie didn't have that much kind of language since Max Payne is an adult concept.
I've noticed in the unrated version that it contained more F-words here and there. M.F. words has also been used especially in the Aseir shooting sequences. You'll hear it if you listen good enough.
Go watch The Social Network, they say it twice as well.
shareI'm really curious why this even matters. Does more F-words and who it comes from increase your enjoyment of the film? I know it sounds awkward coming from people at times, like in From Paris With Love it sounded really awkward from Trovolta for some reason, but why does it matter? Anyone can answer this question as to why it matters as I'm really just curious. I think it's used so much in many movies that you don't even notice it and it has no effect on the audience. I got to the end of the departed and thought they said it maybe 60 times, turns out it was over 200.
shareThe Ocean's Eleven remake has the f word used in it at least twice, and that's PG-13.
shareI guess you were trying to respond to the OP, but if you hit reply on my comment it only sends a notification to my email and he will probably never see it. Although I replied to him a while back and he never responded.
shareOk. So maybe pg-13's get 2 F's. I guaruntee there is a limit. But so what? It is just like IMDB users to focus on a trival part of a post and ignore the question altogether. My question still stands. Why give Kunis that lame attempt at an F-bomb?
But than again, I'm foolish for ever thinking real information or answers can come from IMDB members. Few here even have a good opinion. Like the rest of you losers I'm looking for movie discusions, but it always turns into a forum for people trying to sound more intelligent or funnier than they are in real life.

To be perfectly honest, it was already stupid enough to make such a dark, serious and violent theme of the games presented in the PG-13 kind of a movie. That's a disease that haunted the original Mortal Kombat adaptation, among many others. But yes, it's the Hollywood way of watering down and washing out perfectly good stories and concepts in favor of the wider audience (which most of the time leads to both of that wide audience and the game fans to average or disappointed responses).
share... that's your problem with this.... "movie"?
