Of the top of my head, "Kindergarten Cop" must have one instance of poop.
I imagine something older, but where “poop” is used to mean “information/gossip.”
This makes sense too. It wasn’t used in the fecal sense in the movie I saw it in.
Technically Music Man (1962) is earlier, a character mistakenly says "Not one poop out of you" as a joke https://clip.cafe/the-music-man-1962/not-one-poop-out-of-you/
However if you allow usage like "I'm pooped" meaning "I'm tired" then you can go back further.
Also if you allow references to the "poop deck", a deck on the back of a ship, you can find even older references still.
This is what I was looking for! But yeah I wanted the specific word poop independently - also nicompoop doesn’t count either.
But now begs the question: what is the first movie that used the word poop to refer to feces?
3 Men and a Baby (1987) features a baby and they mention poop (feces) multiple times. I can't find any clips but it's a popular enough movie that it should be easy to verify.
I'm sure there is an earlier reference, but that's all I've got for now.
