The premiere of the Wolf of Wall Street (The Wolf of Wall Street) took place in December 2013, and the picture reached the Russian film distribution only in February 2014. The film is based on the memoirs of the same name by Jordan Belfort, a former successful New York broker, who in the late 80s created a large brokerage company, but eventually went to prison for financial crimes. The main character, performed at that time, is still not an Oscar -winning Leonardo DiCaprio, participates in a pile of wild parties, enters into erratic sexual ties with prostitutes, uses many narcotic substances - it is clear that all this is accompanied by a plentiful amount of mat.

And the film really set a world record according to the special commission of Guinness World Records. So, on September 3, 2014 on the website "World Records of Guinness" appeared A small announcement of the entertainment achievements that fell into the anniversary collection of 2015 (in honor of the 60th anniversary of the publication; the first book with records I went out in 1955).

The description of the record stated: "In the picture from DiCaprio and Scorsese, at least 687 curses were used - an average of 3.81 curses per minute." Everything is just like in the previously mentioned posts.

Sonoda I went out In cinemas at the end of August 2014, and in September - in the USA, where Received The highest age rating: NC-17 (Persons under 18 years old is prohibited).

However, due to the low popularity of the new and still remaining record holder on the network, they continue to honor his predecessor.
