Why might another site give a different swear word count for Bullet Train?
Our count comes from automated analysis of the English subtitles, and we count every time a flagged word appears. A word that is bleeped, mumbled or not written in the subtitles is not counted, a different subtitle release of the film can give a different number, and every site decides for itself what counts as a swear word.
How we counted
The count comes from automated analysis of the film's English subtitles, not from a person listening to the film. Every time a flagged word appears it is counted, and each one is placed in a category. Other guides can give a different number for the same film: a word that is bleeped or not written in the subtitles cannot be counted, different subtitle releases of a film differ, and each site decides for itself what counts as a swear word.
What Family Filter TV can filter
- Profanity, matched against your chosen filter profile (mild, family or strict).
- Subtitle-driven mute events — the sound briefly drops on a matching line and returns right after.
How filtering works
Open the title through a supported playback route such as Stremio. Family Filter TV analyses subtitle cues against your household filter settings and automatically mutes matching dialogue during playback. The picture keeps playing — only the sound briefly drops.
