- Freeways are clogged. Terror stalks our cities. At shops and restaurants, the customer is seldom right. Pressures of big-city life can anger anyone. But Bill Foster is more than angry. He's out to get even. Foster abandons his gridlocked car license plate D-FENS on the hottest day of the year and walks straight into an urban nightmare both absurdly funny and shatteringly violent. Academy Award winner Michael Douglas is Foster, an ordinary guy at war with the frustrations of daily life. Fellow Oscar winner Robert Duvall is the savvy cop obsessed with stopping Fosters citywide rampage. This spellbinding thriller is their story, asking "Are we falling apart?"

"In a world where movie trailers still had narrators..."
I miss them
u mean THE masculine voice narrator
@@murthi1987 The guy narrating this film trailer is my personal favorite trailer guy, Percy Rodriguez. I first heard him in the Jaws trailer. Everyone always talks about the other guy(Don LaFontaine)who I also like, but Percy was the best in my opinion.
I hope Ryan Reynolds does a narrator voice on the next Deadpool movie
Why don't they have them anymore?
This movie will only become more relevant as we head into the future
+Johnny Rico we already there!...this movie was 1993!!
And it was relevant back then..
We are in that era, it's relevant nowadays cause we've never changed since...
how do you know?
You did not watch the movie.
Here's a hint: yes, he IS the bad guy.
"I'm the bad guy?" My favorite line from the movie.
He is white.
That's what Trump said.
The whole ending was perfect. "I would've got you."

28 years after it’s released, and it’s more relevant now than it was back then. This film has aged like a fine wine and continues to do so.
Except for the part where places would have breakfast until ELEVEN THIRTY!! 😂 Now you're lucky to find a joint that'll serve 5 mins past 10:00
💯
I watched fightclub as a highscholer. Now im living that life. Trapped
Is it the film ageing or society deteriorating?
No, it was at least as relevant back then.
The best thing about this movie (besides the acting) is that it was one day. All of the shenanigans happened in one day.
pooanddoo just like the movie Training Day
Nick of Time with Johnny Depp runs in "real time".
pooanddoo
All it takes is one bad day.
Many of the actors are actually pretty terrible (Bill's ex-wife comes to mind). And this movie has probably a few of the most annoying characters in Hollywood history (the retiring cop's wife and that female detective's moronic assistant). That said, I really enjoyed the movie and rooted for Michael Douglas' character. He is the vigilante setting the scores on some of the shit in our society (false advertisement, mismanagement of public money, decadence of the wealthy, etc.).
@@dysonlu Barbara is a great actress, I don't know what you're talking about.
The more i grow, the more i understand Bill Foster
Same here.
So you’re a sociopath who’s willing to commit acts of wanton violence over minor inconveniences?
I am him. He is me
@@Scallycowell
Yes
@@Scallycowell I disagree. Most people turn a blind eye to everything, never questioning anything like mindless zombies. Bill Foster was tired of getting bent over.
I love stories like this, where the protagonist is both the villain but also undeniably the victim.
Agreed
But he's not the victim...like...at all
@@hazelbasil6451 nah the man is just misunderstood the wife’s a sensitive over dramatic ***** divorced him like it’s common in America took his money like women do and took his daughter without being able to visit her he just got tired of bullsh*t society and the stupi*d people who live in it that’s all.
He is.

“All it takes is one bad day”
-The Joker
I dont understand these comments. I thoroughly enjoyed Joker. This movie was good too. But, is it not obvious that these individuals suffered from severe mental issues and eventual breakdown? These movies do not portray that society leads individuals to act this way, particularly Falling Down.
@@zafran20 I think you missed the point. they serve more as catalysts for what we all want but will never have the nerve or guts to do. some people just want to run away from it all and others just want to take matters into their own hands, to rid society of all the injustice and fakeness, however small or insignificant they may be. However, most people will never even lift a finger. Those who do decide to do something about it are treated like they're crazy and evil people when in reality, to quote the Joker, they just had a really bad day.
@@zafran20 He's talking about what Joker said in the Killing Joke, not the movie.
@@davidmelara6304 The question is to me...How to help people not reach that bad day point?
this was better than the joker
I loved this when I first saw it in 2000, because it was a thriller combined with dark comedy. This man get swallowed up by all that's wrong with Los Angeles and early 1990's USA. But now that I'm close to the age of the protagonist, I can really feel his pain. When you reach a certain age, you have less patience for things that don't work, and you can easily feel alone and outnumbered.
Hands down one of the best movies ever made, to anyone that has not seen this movie, you will not regret it, I'd go as far to say it's Micheal Douglas at his very best
Bet I’m gonna watch it rn then
I love this movie.
I agree. His best role.
He's certainly starred in some damn good movies and this is definitely one of them.
I'm gonna watch due to you
The most dangerous thing in the world is a man with nothing to lose
You’re DADGUM right!
This is honestly one of the best movies I've ever seen.
Agree.
Memorable scene after memorable scene, and this movie really hits hard for a lot of people.
"Yeah, now you're gonna die wearing that stupid little hat...... How does it feel!?!?"
Best line EVER!!!!
My favorite line too.😂
😂
As time progresses, this movie becomes more and more relatable...
Absolutely. It's more relevant now than when it was made !
Ironic
What a film, just outstanding,,,,,,
This is one great movie, with one of Michael Douglas's best performances ever! Definitely check this one out!
+Christopher Walker Over looked by many. A lot of reality in it though.
From Optimism to Realism or Pessimestic or Both lmao
This movie doesn’t need a reboot, it’s fine the way it is.
This and The Game are possibly the two best Michael Douglas
“A tale of urban reality...”
That’s for damn sure.
pure class this movie has stood the test of time
This is one of my all-time favorite movies. It was relevant in its time and it's now ten times more relevant in modern times
Smokey I disagree
It's not more relevant today.
@@peterwhitey4992 obviously you live in a semi-isolated area. You don't seem to see the real world.
True story. I saw this movie the day it hit the theaters in the spring of 1993. I BECAME Bill Foster. I had it in my head that I was him. The following day at work, I was fired for going off on my boss, Bill Foster style. When my parents found out about the incident, they kicked me out of the house for it. So I went off on them, Bill Foster style. They called the cops and I was arrested for threatening my mom and dad. They eventually dropped the charges. It turns out that nobody took kindly to me acting out scenes from Falling Down. LOL. I was a 19 year old child and I had to learn the hard way that real life and TV shows/movies were 2 entirely different things. I also had to undergo counseling. Man, what a fucked up time in my life. But, I still love this movie!
Dude, nobody took kindly to what Bill Foster was doing either, not least the cops. It's not like the guy went off on some Hollywood romanticized rebellion against society and came out on top, like something you'd want to emulate in your own life. Guy ended up shot dead by the cops hours after his rampage began.

@@geoffreycarson2311 19 here in the States is not grown up. Well…not emotionally anyway LOL
William Foster’s standing up for his rights… as a consumer. Falling Down is one of the best 90’s films of all time!
For the love of God don't remake this.
BJ Chester I know right all they should do is just put it back in the theaters
@@jtheman4678 it's basically back in the theatres under the title Joker 2019 . Same premise , man is marginalised, outcast and snaps . Almost like taxi driver also
They already did, it’s called Joker lol
Főfasírozó oh god no
If they do, the main character will be a woman and all the "bad guys" will be white males
Everybody gets to this point in their life. What a masterpiece.
I had my "Falling Down" year in 2020 (not because of covid) and yeah... they almost called the securities on me in a furniture shop...
@@malte1984 what happened?😳
@@malte1984 Same. During covid. In a grocery store. They tried to rob me one time too many.
Best Schumaker movie by far. Completely nailed the mess of the sociopolitical divide we're in now.
There's always been a mess of a sociopolitical divide in this country... 🙄
RIP, Joel Schumacher. Thanks for a masterpiece.
I didn't know about this movie until a year ago. Really solid film and it speaks to a lot of people that are fed up with others treating them like shit.
Only solid?
When I saw this movie as a teenager, William "D-FENS" Foster was the villain - but seeing this film today, William "D-FENS" Foster is a fuckin' badass HERO!!!!
He wasn't a hero, he was just a broken man who couldn't take it anymore.
You were a bit slow as a teenager, huh?
@@goatwarrior3570 these are the people that think Rorschach is the hero of Watchmen
He was mentally ill tho, they implied it through those homevideos scenes where in he basically forced his kid to ride that wooden horse, and the other scene where his wife was looking very uncomfortable in his presence.
Probably Douglas's finest acting role, outstanding performance.
Rest in peace, Master Joel Schumacher... This film is a diamond. :'-(
Yeah...I was born in the 80s....grew up on most of his films.. this movie has always been one of my faves..came here to pay my respects...
He might’ve ruined Batman but Falling Down was excellent.
We are ALL Bill Foster, today!
A modern Shakespearean Tragedy. "Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad."
It's actually a greek anti-Odyssey tragedy.
"I'm the bad guy?... how did that happen.."
This is one of those unique movies that back in the day would always be out on rent in the local vhs video shop,always a high price to buy new or second hand and if you owned a copy every time someone who’d never visited your house would see it first time they did and either comment on how good it was and nine times out of ten they’d say oh my god i love that put it on or that’s supposed to be awesome,any chance we could watch it. Not many movies had that effect back then…and it’s still an awesome,amazing badass movie after thirty years..jeez thirty years this year,i can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched it
i like stories like that. and i grabbed it a month ago at the thrift store for $1. it is a really good movie
It was the beauty of discovering movies which is almost lost in this netflix Amazon combined with social media shite era
@@tonypine3434 I’m a member of a few Facebook groups and I’ve been a movie fan all my life which is over half a century and they put movies on there I’ve forgotten about or never heard of before
This movie is so epic
When you're about to turn 30 and understand this movie and main hero tooo goood)))))))
Children of 90s, anybody here?)))
Why ?
Every scene is genius.
Robert Duvall has looked exactly the same since 1982 hahahaha.
I was just blown away by this movie.. I never expected it to be that good..
A Classic Movie!! Like a fine wine, it keeps getting better with time.
Just Finished watching this masterpiece and i love it. best movie ever😍 can't believe i missed that one!! it's hurts when he said "Now i'm the bad Guy! all i wanted to go home"😭
Jeez, the trailers back in the day....
I like it. The narrator fits, the style... Everything.
It was a different time.
It sounds like the guy who did the gremlins trailer
The voiceover artist is Percy Rodriguez. He did dozens of trailers in the '70s and '80s.
are the trailers we have today supposed to be better? always trying to be emotional with loud music
And in 2021, it seems the film is now the reality.
should be put back in theaters and shown for free. great messages from this film
Now that I'm an adult I can relate to this character. Who doesn't feel like going crazy and letting go every once in awhile lol.
Hence the purge… 😂
Underrated and the undertone Is extremely relevant today.
It's very underrated. This is a powerful movie, it's not just a dark comedy. Anyone who has felt alone surrounded by people with no common sense will completely understand his mood throughout this film. This world is brutal. People talk about giving up on life all the time, but to see this man actually give up on life is powerful. There are very few people on the face of this planet who haven't felt the same way this man felt at some point in their life.
One of the best movies of all time.
Bill Foster... This is how I feel these days... best movie ever 👌🏻
Falling down, the best Michael Douglas movie.
This is literally me I now understand my angry ass grandparents
FRANK "GRIMEY" GRIMES
Omg, you are so right. He does look like Frank Grimes.
I was thinking the original 1985 George McFly who just would one day plain snap.
@@VanillaLimeCoke I dont think the Frank Grimes comparison was based just on appearance either. Whole thing of Grimey having enough of life's everyday nuisances and ending up going crazy and killing himself - his life really mirrored this film. Falling Down = Frank Grimes the movie lol.
You're right!
Kai McCook frank grimes was literally based off of this movie
Unhinged with Russel Crowe brought me here
Same here dude
sameee lollll
Same here
The character in Unhinged is pure psychopath without a leash.
I will always have sympathy for Douglass' character as he was not psychotic.
You take me there hahaha looks goddam great
Bill Foster had right reasons to feel the way he did. I don't blame him
Didn't we all wish we were Foster one day?
Michael Douglas was great in this. The soundtrack I really enjoyed as well. It painted that paranoia setting well where he was stuck in this concrete jungle and just trying to make his way through. Just watched it again tonight..
Released in 1993, but has the circumstances of 2023.... AMAZING
I remember scenes as a kid from my dad watching this movie, I’m now an adult and will finally watch with my family
RIP Joel....
i remember watching this movie 25+ years ago and it was good.
a movie ahead of its time
Nah..it was perfect for it's era but also applies today
I wonder how many of us here have felt this way...... just wanting to go off like this....
Everyday
@@harrisonread133 it is just a question of time
Lots of us. Especially - lately.
I'm very close to it...I've seen over 10 doctors in the last 17 months...all of them have bullshitted lied blatantly to my face..I've been in constant pain I can barely walk...my torn groin and herniated disc are now leading me towards a path of wanting to kill the fucking doctors that have caused this...I read stories of ordinary citizens who get help and good doctors help them within weeks.. why the fuck do I have to suffer? I'm not a fucking scumbag...I'm not a thief...not racist...not a low life...I'm actually the complete opposite of scum...yet im treated like a fucking animal...left to suffer...I was born in the this fucking country...now I'm ready to kill the foreign goddamn doctors who refused to help...I've been so fucking pissed these last 17 months...I'm only getting worse...I'm ready to fucking die...I have every right to be fucking pissed...
One of the best movies ever made, absolutely deserves a remake but only if they find someone who can even come close to michael Douglas performance in this movie.
Denzel can do it. But he already did a similar movie as John Q.
uwe boll makes falling down spree shooting clones all the time
It’d be interesting to see Adam Sandler or Jennifer Lawrence as D-Fens
R.I.P. Joel Schumacher
So Sad!! Nishikant Kamat is also died. He remade marathi movie 'Dombivli Fast' with this context.😥
Almost cried at the end :'(
I felt so bad for him :(
I'm kind of happy at the end because he's finally gone home.

A movie both ahead of it's time, and if it's time.
You can view this movie from any and all angles, and they would still be valid socio-political interpretations of this movie. Whether you are conservative, liberal, racists, humanist, this movie would have something that shows you just what is wrong with the US, no matter which side you are one.
In other words, this is a brilliantly done bi-partisan, or rather, multi-partisan movie about socio-economic state of the U.S. where, no matter how you view the problems of the US, they are all contained in this movie.
This is, one of the, if not the best, Joel Shcumacher film, ever made.
...and you will know us by the Trail of Dead I probably would have suicided by now if not for his channel tbh
It's non-partisan in terms of the US party political landscape. It's a very human story: guy gets ground down by the everyday shit in his life, so he snaps and takes it out on the shitty aspects of the world.
It doesn’t “show what is wrong with the US”. It shows what is wrong with people in nature. People unchecked are selfish, easily swayed to negativity, self centered, etc... It’s their behavior that is off. Leave it to some people to “blame the system” rather than correct the bad behavior of the citizens involved.
@@hyseptu1733 but the system is the cause no ? i meant society makes the bad guys at the end or youre gonna tell me we live now in a perfect society ? with double morality ? no wonder why people are getting more violent these days before and after the pandemic...
Progressives don't see the message at all
This is probably the most realistic film. It shows what happens when nice people are capable of when they're pushed to their breaking points
Movie scared me as a kid, now I relate to it. And yes, I have the same first name as him.
This was a really great movie, loved Michael Douglas's anger as the movie went on, the guy just had enough.
Not only "enough", he had a nervous breakdown. This is a little bit more than "having enough".😌
Had enough? He was just a psychopath who finally let loose. You have to have a certain mentality to do the things he does, he was never your "everyday person".
This movie was ahead of its time!
I just got a copy of this movie in the mail off eBay.
Probably the best 8$ I spent this year.
Watched the movie earlier this week.
I really liked how at the beginning of the movie Bill Foster was set up to be a somewhat relatable, frustrated guy and you as the viewer were even incentivized to side with him. Later they gave you reasons to dislike him twisting that the perceived 'good guy' is actually the 'bad guy', it creates this interesting joy to watch.
not economically viable
don't forget me
Olivier Jansen I'm nodding at you as they drive you away!
I love the dark subject matter with the voiceover making it sound like a comedy. Great film.
This was a fantastical movie. I can’t believe I forgotten about it. This goes in my 2019 watch list.
Michael Douglas should've won
a Best Actor Oscar for this.
love the movie and the character.
I like his glasses.
This movie was #1 the day I was born

@@x-a- Imagine this on the news: Today, a nerdy high school student went on a rampage on campus by smashing and shooting up everything, he stole a bag of automatic firearms after some Latino gang bangers almost killed him after they did a drive by shooting. He was mad over of the school system works, and couldn’t take it anymore. All of the glass in the school has been destroyed by the suspect, even the gym was smashed up as well. He was bullied too, his favorite movie is “Falling Down”, and he committed a similar destructive rampage with weapons similar to Michael Douglas as Bill Foster aka D-FENS. No one was hurt, it the school is suffering from vandalism of the rampage.
Also the suspect blew up a driver’s Ed course at the school with a RPG after arguing with a road repair crew member that there’s nothing wrong with it and assumes they’re tearing it up for unnecessary reasons.
All it takes is one bad day.
I thank God for You. Love, Light, Peace, Music and Joy
Bill Foster aka D-Fens is the hero America desperately needs but doesn't deserve.
I bet Michael Douglas’ role as Bill Foster was kind of an inspiration towards Frank Grimes in the old Simpsons episode, “Homer’s Enemy”. It’s where he sees what’s wrong with society, how badly it treated him, and getting very distraught with Homer’s actions.
He preferred to be called ‘Grimey’
The older I get the more I relate to this film
This one of my favorite 90s movie. Great performance by Michael Douglas.
Just watching this I already empathize with him
Big companies with terrible customer service responses must be near the top of the list
Empathy for a psychopath. That's a new one.
As a kid i thought he was nuts. I really identify with this guy now. It might be my favorite movie
If you can identify with some loser taking out his failures on others and have to use weapons to do it because he’s been a pussy his entire and never had to fight anyone with his hands. Then sorry for your life.
This is one of my all-time favorites.

This trailer is basically an entire movie in 3 minutes. I can go out for a cigarette break and come back having watched Falling Down.
Great film of a man who has had it and goes on a terrible downward spiral affecting many different walks of life in LA.
