Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMatthew McConaughey's scenes were shot on the second week of filming. The chest beating and humming performed by him was improvised and a warm-up rite that he performs before acting. When Leonardo DiCaprio saw it while filming, the brief shot of him looking away uneasily from the camera was him looking at Martin Scorsese for approval. DiCaprio encouraged them to include it in their scene and later claimed it "set the tone" for the rest of the film.
- GoofsDuring the Black Monday crash of 1987 all of the digital tickers in the background are green - which means the market is going up.
- Quotes
Max Belfort: What kind of hooker takes credit cards?
Donnie Azoff: A rich one!
- Crazy creditsThe film opens with a Stratton Oakmont advertisement hosted by Jordan Belfort. The film title appears only at the ending.
- Alternate versionsNews reports in local media have said the version of the movie showing in Abu Dhabi cinemas removes 45 minutes of content. Aside from nudity and sexual situations, most of the edits come from the film's 600+ curse words. Time Out Abu Dhabi reported offensive language was removed by "either by muting the audio temporarily or chopping chunks from scenes mid sentence, which produces a jarring effect for viewers."

Featured review
Decadent, shocking, brilliant.
Based on the true story of Jordan Belfort, from his rise to a wealthy stock-broker living the high life to his fall involving crime, corruption and the federal government.
Martin Scorsese isn't just a film maker, he's a genius, he's The Master of film, and this is another of his jewels. The Wolf of Wall Street is one of my all time favourites.
The remarkable story of Jordan Belfort, is love to know how much of this is actually true. There are multiple shocking scenes, my jaw dropped multiple times, one thing is clear, money talks.
It's shocking, but it's also hilarious, there are so many funny moments, that scene with the dog at the end of the bed, too funny.
Production values are off the charts, this film truly looks tremendous, it feels as though no one frame is wasted, no opportunity is missed to show off the wealth, the orgy of sex, drugs and money.
Another stellar performance from Leonardo DiCaprio, he is outstanding as Belfort, one of his very best, not only does he look the part, but he exudes the character's greed's and desires.
Robbie and Hill are first rate. It gets an extra point for featuring Joanna Lumley, albeit in a small role.
A fascinating story.
10/10.
