The English-language term 'fuck' is exceptional as it can serve as noun, verb, adjective, exclamation, and others. There is no such equivalent usage of any word in the French language. Therefore the translation of 'fuck' into French depends on the corresponding part of speech.

Well there is an expression that is more or less equivalent to the english "Fuck", Frenches used to say "Putain" when something goes wrong or act in an unexpected way.
"Putain" can be litteraly translated as "bitch"...

they seem to use 'merde' a lot in films although this is just a french version of 'shit'.

Also, we say 'va te faire foutre', which is to say, 'Get fucked.'
