More spectacular f-word alternatives

Question

I asked few people and couldn't get a satisfying answer. In english, expressing threat of violence sounds rather dull: "I'll f*ck you up". i hear this in bars a lot and it sounds childish and funny. So i'm wondering if there is a better way to express such intentions. In contrast, in russian (if you speak it) the expression is way more spectacular "uyobok! sha pizdi poluchish".

Sure. I"m going to get medieval on your a**

I believe I first heard that in Pulp Fiction.

(I can't spell, so that's probably not right.)

No it doesn't, it's just that you haven't gotten used to the language.

I do believe for native speakers it sounds cool and threatening.

On the other hand the russian expression you quoted won't raise an eyebrow in American bars if you say it out lout, because Americans generally don't speak russian, and those who do, will think that russian swearing is dull (and for them it is).

There are lots of ways to espress the same idea in a cool way (that figures, English vocablurary comprises upwards of 400,000 words, Russian vocablurary - only upwards of 100,000).
