Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3 features the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first-ever "f-bomb," with Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) swearing at Nebula (Karen Gillan) for not being able to open the door of a car.
3,” Peter Quill — the Star Lord — uses the f-word when talking to Nebula. Collider said this seems to be the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first use of that word. James Gunn said it would be the only use of that word in the series, so the film could maintain its PG-13 rating.
Everyone is saying that gotg 3 is the first marvel movie that has the f-bomb. But all the way back in Iron Man 1, in the scene just after where Tony refuses to build the missile for the terrorists, you can hear a faint "f**k you" that is made a bit clearer by the captions.
In addition to the violent scenes and scary visual images mentioned above, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has some scenes that could scare or disturb children aged 8-13 years. For example: Rocket is seen bleeding from the chest and looks like he will die.
As one commentator notes, Hollywood “uses the f-word as a sort of signal to attract the audience it wants: the 15-to-25-year-olds who rush out to opening weekends and put a movie on the map.”
“It is violent, dark and brutal. They definitely push the PG-13 rating as far as possible. Disturbing imagery and thematic elements.” “Just got back from Guardians 3 and it definitely pushes it's rating,” another person wrote.
What is inappropriate in Guardians of the Galaxy 3?
Violence & Scariness. Several upsetting scenes involving Rocket's past, which is revealed to be a traumatic story of grief and animal torture/death (hybrid creatures made through experiments may be alarming to young kids). Massive destruction.
Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 also seemed to want to cram in way too much into one movie. We could have just had the Rocket origin story and the film would have been just fine. Trying to cram in so many story elements ultimately hurt the exposition of those elements.
3. In the third and final Guardians of the Galaxy film, Chris Pratt's Star-Lord dropped an F-bomb, a moment that came as a shocker to many filmgoers at the time.
Gunn said in a now-deleted tweet that Baby Groot "drops about 50 f-bombs in Guardians 2." They can't be heard since Groot only says, "I am Groot," which is how the director was able to get away with so many uses of the F-word without the movie being rated R.
Unfortunately, as tree people, flora colossi possess wooden larynxes that make speaking very difficult. The only words they can manage are "I am Groot." (The MCU's Groot's use of "we are" during his sacrifice was apparently not a light undertaking.)
I'm baffled by reviewers who rate this as only appropriate for those aged 12 and up. There's punching and kicking, there's spear-chucking and shock wave blasting, and there are apparent deaths from said physical conflict—but all of it is very cartoon-like.
“So Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3 definitely earned its PG-13 rating and I would advise caution if you're planning on taking kids under 13,” one viewer wrote. “It is violent, dark and brutal. They definitely push the PG-13 rating as far as possible. Disturbing imagery and thematic elements.”
Absolutely phenomenal in my opinion. Guardians of the Galaxy 3 was not only super emotional (after Endgame I'd say the most emotional Marvel movie), the CGI and the action scenes were incredibly good as well. In some scenes it was super messed up and weird, but exactly these scenes made the movie so good.
While Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is visually stunning and has an all-star cast, it is important to note that it is rated PG-13 for violence, adult themes, and language. James Gunn has said that this film is his love letter to Rocket, and he turns all the dials up to the next level.
"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" is officially rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, strong language, suggestive/drug references and thematic elements.
It's Joe Pesci, who's said the F-word 272 times in his various movies. But check this out: 241 of those were from a single movie: “Casino”. Al Pacino is second, with 197, followed by Jason Mewes of Jay & Silent Bob fame and Jonah Hill with 183 apiece, Leonardo DiCaprio with 144, and Seth Rogen with 140.
Believe it or not it is Joe Pesci has the record for most F-bombs in his movies, at 272. He's followed by Al Pacino with 197, Jason Mewes and Jonah Hill with 183 apiece . . . and Leonardo DiCaprio with 144.
So in this clip regarding to the Galaxy, Volume 3, star drops what I think is the MCU first F bomb, except it's bleeped out. Now, James Gunn has already said it, but in the movie he does say it, and it was absolutely clean, pristine delivery by Chris Pratt.
See below for our full tabulation of every time an Avenger swears in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, counted up through Avengers: Infinity War. There are almost no surprises on this list. The Avenger with the worst potty mouth, by far, is Tony Stark. He clocks in at 44 swear words, mostly of the “ass” variety.
