was it me or did anyone else notice all the times when the f word was looped over with another word?

it seemed like the script was alot more r rated at first but they re edited it to get the pg 13.

I caught it at least 3 or 4 times! They knew they were on a close side of an R rating so they had to loop. it is very clear that they are dropping that F-bomb. It made me laugh more than anything else.

The very first loop made me laugh out loud. Harvey Keitel is clearly saying "get the *beep* out of here" and they loop it with the word 'hell'.

I'm surprised James Toback would make a PG-13 movie. Maybe the studio forced him.

According to the MPAA files, the film went for an appeal when it was handed an R, but it lost the case. 20th Century Fox then edited it so they received their desired rating.
