I interviewed Jack Betts there (the guy having the heart attack) a few years ago. Nicest guy in the world. His girlfriend of many years had just passed away (Doris Roberts, the mom from "Everybody Loves Raymond") so he had moved out of their house and into a modest condo east of Hollywood. He was extremely outspoken about his early career and had a lot of nice things to say about working in Spaghetti Westerns in the 1970's.

@@orange_cat I humbly and respectfully appreciate your feelings and feedback. But being locked up in jail and maximum security ,I witnessed people being rude ,talking arrogant to other violent and dangerous inmates as this golfer was ,and then to see the look of fear and terror in their eyes when he sees four or five people approaching him because now he knows there’s consequences for his rude and ignorant behavior, is priceless. See, people think they can be rude and disrespectful to another human being only to realize the times have changed ,and a lot of people will not tolerate those who treat them so disrespectfully as this golfer was!! I’m not being rude ,I’m just trying to help society wake up and realize the way things really are sometimes these days.
This scene really shows how Bill Foster goes. He flips from trespassing as reasonable person to shotgun-waving lunatic and from that can actually show some compassion which flips back to mockery. Great scene in a great movie.
When I saw this movie, in '93, I was amazed at just how close we all are to snapping. 30 years later and many have snapped with most on the bitter edge of coming unglued. So much has changed and not for the better. I could completely identify with everything he went through. The word is exasperated.
@@lonestar6709 You incorrectly quoted two of the three lines you posted. Lol. You're about the equivalent of every fast food worker that finds it difficult to make a hamburger as ordered.
One of my favorite scenes....this movie wasn't as appreciated as it should have been. An actual classic AND masterpiece of the broken person. Personal favorite.
2:11 even as he's dying, he still defiantly mouths "my... golf... course". A man of principle, determination and firm resolve to the very end, right up to the moment of his death, wearing that stupid little hat.
Indeed. Instead firearm owners, who are far more populous and numerous than golfers, have to drive over a hundred miles to enjoy their hobby at any reasonable range with 100 years or more and not just a 25 yard indoor range only suitable for handguns.
There is more than enough space to build houses and having golf courses. Humans populate only a little part of earth. Problem is just everybody wants to live in a city and them complains about missing space
"Would you get off my golf course?" "I am!" He actually was leaving the course. Obviously the old guy should have heard that, kept his cool, and let D-Fens simply pass. He even refused to listen to his more rational friend. Too many people out there blow their tops too easily for whatever reason. A lot of people would have thought a random guy walking through the golf course was pretty funny even.
I guess he started to rethink how to handle that situation once D-fense pulled out that shotgun. Keep your cool guys, especially on the road, you never know who might be armed and is having a bad day already.
“Your heart? Something’s wrong with your heart? Well what can I do?” is one of my favorite lines in cinema ever. I think it is metaphorical for our society, and possibly for the entire human species. DEFENS realizes there is something vitally wrong with our society, yet feels angry and frustrated at his powerlessness to provide a remedy.
I see a different metaphor. An error of heart can also mean "heartless" . Which would fit into the context of an overly possessive wealthy man seriously endangering another human being just for trespassing.
in my opinion the crack is becoming bigger and bigger. on one Side the philantropists who gave for example Ukraine Refugees Home and food and care and in the Others Side those you wrote about.. A hang to extreme is never good, the Balance does not exist any more
My interpretation was that this movie represented a fantasy - something that many fed-up people would like to do, but never physically do in real life because of their inhibitions. That was why so many people could relate to this masterpiece.
Holy cow; this was my grandfather walking with me as a boy. They gave us a hard time for walking down a path near the golf course, and he asked all 4 of them to stop him. He mocked them, said something to them quietly, then told them to leave and they did. No cops, ever.
"I guess your little cart is going to drown." This movie exemplifies class warfare. Great movie! Michael Douglas was the perfect actor to play it. He probably plays golf also.
@@xisotopex if you follow MD character that's exactly what he does. He doesn't act like one of these psychos shooting anyone in a shopping mall or school. He directs his rage at particular bullies and he doesn't even really want to kill them. Just teach them a good lesson

One of the all time greatest commentaries on the culture of America, and the world at large. Every scene a gem of truth from the standpoint of the deteriorating ethos of “love thy neighbor.” This movie spoke to the moment of our culture at the time of its release. It’s a classic. Michael Douglas was truly the only actor who could have played this part. Brilliant.
everybody criticizes America, and sometimes rightly so, but in my estimation, America, more than any other country, has a long history of introspection and trying to get things right.
it was amazing how today that golfer would be called childish and they'd have him arrested for assault and battery by trying to hit someone with a golf ball.
@@donaldmiller4386 Here´s the script. FORE ! is a warning before hitting the golf ball. FIVE ! is his answer because he heard "four". www.script-o-rama.com/movie_scripts/f/falling-down-script-transcript-douglas.html
ive been a golfer for 35 yrs and love this scene. there's certainly some assholes that fit the bill of this guy, & although side with MD here, have seen quite a instances of members of the public (that how golfers differetiate non-members) who dont respect anyone's space or right to enjoy themselves (like they want to), even on their own land, so can understan why some get a tad mad. you see fools walking out in the line of the shot, picnics on fairways, portable barbeques, motorbikes, burned out cars, drinking 'clubs', RC vehicles, football games, but the best I saw was a guy just walk out and started training his bird of prey on a fairway in the middle of the day.
Wow it's only a guy passing through a golf course. There's no need to freak out about it! He'll be gone in a few minuets. I don't understand some guys like Frank
FunForAllTheFamily10 I said politely asking him to leave. I don't know what you see as polite but to me it's not yelling "GO BACK THE WAY YA CAME! THIS IS MY GOLF COURSE, IF HE GETS HIT, THAT'S HIS OWN FUCKIN' PROBLEM". His pills were for a heart condition, that's no reason for him to flip out when he doesn't get what he wants
FunForAllTheFamily10 I have flipped out before, that's no lie but I have never yelled and assaulted someone for it. I think those that do assault others for this need anger management before they do something they regret... like Frank. Also, what have I not read properly from your previous comments? They seem pretty clear. All I don't really understand is "No tawk". did you mean 'No talk'?

In rural nowhere, a little small talk is nice, but keep it to 25 words or less if you don't get much response. If you get a Chatty Kathy then it's OK to talk all day.

his friend was a good guy. "let him pass through", "Help my friend is having a heart attack". i rly lyk his friend fr
I know the old geezer is having a heart attack, but this is freaking hilarious! Subtle the way the scene builds up and in the end, our "hero" turn the table.
It strikes me for the first time watching this, that these guys are acting exactly the same way as the gang members in the first part of the movie that tried to take his briefcase. Everyone is an asshole guarding his little piece of land.
Uggghhh, country club members are the worst! They think they are so much more better than everyone else, maybe they don’t own a mirror? Look at how they dress…. Lol bunch of dolts.
The guy with the green visor actually seemed like a good guy 🤷🏻♂️🤣
Its so true. Even the homeless guy was bitching about him being in his park, after he showed multiple ways of being a dipshit moocher 😂
I agree @JK-47 He actually tried to warn his golf buddy that the main character seemed unhinged and to not antagonize him.
@@shottashabazz6721 Exactly! This is why you treat people with kindness, or leave them alone if you don’t agree. Let your day roll on and let the storm pass 💯👍🏻
The fact that so many people have discussed this film for hours on end...for decades, is evidence of its artistic merit. Brilliant, brilliant movie.
Lesson: don't f*** with someone that has nothing to lose
Very true the older you get and a man's dignity is been stripped can be very dangerous I used to say f... around f... you won't be around haha
...hahhahahhhhahahau
Most times you don't know who they are until you provoke them
Or someone with everything to lose
I really appreciate the fact that he left the other guy alone - the one who was willing to just let him pass, wasn't really an asshole. He focused entirely on the person who had wronged him (and later just on the people who had wronged him, and thusly never became the egomaniacs he hated.
that is not how it works in real life, just because you are a good safe person does not mean you will not be stricken with colon cancer and bleed out urass or die of a brian tumor
@@fitnesspoint2006 What does that have to do with anything? I never said the guy on the golf course couldn't die some other way, I said William didn't kill him.
People die, that doesn't mean William only directed his rage at the ones who wronged him.
wow, the movie's point fly over your head, fcuking dumb as bricks
"Yea, and now you're going to die wearing that stupid little hat" my favorite line in this entire movie lol
I like he was chuckling when he said it.
@@markherring3513 lmao! That's one of the of the main reasons why this line was funny imho.
I LOVE the look of fear and terror in someone's eyes when they realize that they messed with the wrong person, and now they know that there are consequences coming for their rude and ignorant behavior!! They should have thought about that before they were disrespectful!!
I do not enjoy the fear or terror part. Hitting the delete button has a bit of satisfaction, but not the fear or terror. Nope. Just make them gone like I do mosquitoes, houseflies, wasps, things like that.
@@orange_cat
I humbly and respectfully appreciate your feelings and feedback.
But being locked up in jail and maximum security ,I witnessed people being rude ,talking arrogant to other violent and dangerous inmates as this golfer was ,and then to see the look of fear and terror in their eyes when he sees four or five people approaching him because now he knows there’s consequences for his rude and ignorant behavior, is priceless.
See, people think they can be rude and disrespectful to another human being only to realize the times have changed ,and a lot of people will not tolerate those who treat them so disrespectfully as this golfer was!!
I’m not being rude ,I’m just trying to help society wake up and realize the way things really are sometimes these days.
Lolll chill😂
As a former golf course groundskeeper, I appreciate this a lot.
@Tyler Braden 100%
last time he won't repair a divot
The fact that this movie is still relevant really speaks to a sadness in America
This scene really shows how Bill Foster goes. He flips from trespassing as reasonable person to shotgun-waving lunatic and from that can actually show some compassion which flips back to mockery. Great scene in a great movie.
"Now you're going to die wearing that stupid little hat." Priceless.
The last line was SAVAGE AF. Such an underrated classic film
I dont think anyone thinks its underrated
When I saw this movie, in '93, I was amazed at just how close we all are to snapping. 30 years later and many have snapped with most on the bitter edge of coming unglued. So much has changed and not for the better. I could completely identify with everything he went through. The word is exasperated.
I can see the epitaph now:
*Died wearing his stupid little hat*

One of my favorite scenes....this movie wasn't as appreciated as it should have been. An actual classic AND masterpiece of the broken person. Personal favorite.
I own the DVD.
Watch it at least once a year.
"I'll give you something to fix!"
The older I get, the more I understand Michael Douglas' character.
we all do, it's an old man thing, but started with me when i was about 30 :)
2:11 even as he's dying, he still defiantly mouths "my... golf... course". A man of principle, determination and firm resolve to the very end, right up to the moment of his death, wearing that stupid little hat.
God damn, i never get tired of this flick.
This conveys about half my feelings about golf courses. A waste of land that could be used for something much more urgently needed - A Rifle Range.
lol you made my day .......
Indeed. Instead firearm owners, who are far more populous and numerous than golfers, have to drive over a hundred miles to enjoy their hobby at any reasonable range with 100 years or more and not just a 25 yard indoor range only suitable for handguns.
You should see George Carlins view on golf courses.
Yeah, just Imagine how many houses you could've put on that land.
There is more than enough space to build houses and having golf courses. Humans populate only a little part of earth. Problem is just everybody wants to live in a city and them complains about missing space
"Would you get off my golf course?"
"I am!"
He actually was leaving the course. Obviously the old guy should have heard that, kept his cool, and let D-Fens simply pass. He even refused to listen to his more rational friend. Too many people out there blow their tops too easily for whatever reason. A lot of people would have thought a random guy walking through the golf course was pretty funny even.
And to think the hot headed one was supposed to be D-fens... the guy was surprisingly calm
I guess he started to rethink how to handle that situation once D-fense pulled out that shotgun. Keep your cool guys, especially on the road, you never know who might be armed and is having a bad day already.
Just leaving him alone wouldn't have cost the old man anything. A little patience would've saved a lot of trouble
This scene is perfect, almost 30 years later I still think of this scene whenever I see a golf course
One of the best movies ever produced ‼️🗣On my list of all time favorites.
“Your heart? Something’s wrong with your heart? Well what can I do?” is one of my favorite lines in cinema ever. I think it is metaphorical for our society, and possibly for the entire human species.
DEFENS realizes there is something vitally wrong with our society, yet feels angry and frustrated at his powerlessness to provide a remedy.
You shouldn't really care about things you have no power to change, I think is the lesson.
I see a different metaphor. An error of heart can also mean "heartless" . Which would fit into the context of an overly possessive wealthy man seriously endangering another human being just for trespassing.

Freaking awesome. Tell me that all of us can't associate with him at least once in our lives.
Matthew Sexton - I gave up on L.A. a long time ago, it's relentless
Mark Turney Yes, but the word you were looking for is ‘Sympathize’ not associate.
It's kind of like the dramatic version of "Office Space" that way

The world is full of assholes. It'd be nice to just unleash on all the deserving.
"Frank listen, I don't like the looks of this guy. Leave him alone, will ya"

Discretion is the better part of valor.
The way the cigar drops out of his mouth is not only hilarious, but extremely satisfying. Priceless.
Many might be surprised how many people in (real life) feel this way - ready to react in this way.
True!
You go around interviewing people?....lol
My interpretation was that this movie represented a fantasy - something that many fed-up people would like to do, but never physically do in real life because of their inhibitions. That was why so many people could relate to this masterpiece.
@ r/iamverybadass
yeah we watch the news too sherlock!
It’s almost comedic, seeing the cart go into the lake! The man is dying, and Douglas asks him, “Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?”
Holy cow; this was my grandfather walking with me as a boy. They gave us a hard time for walking down a path near the golf course, and he asked all 4 of them to stop him. He mocked them, said something to them quietly, then told them to leave and they did. No cops, ever.
"I guess your little cart is going to drown." This movie exemplifies class warfare. Great movie! Michael Douglas was the perfect actor to play it. He probably plays golf also.
Every hard working man wishes he could act out this scene in real life
just as long as those who end up as targets are those that actually deserve it.
@@xisotopex if you follow MD character that's exactly what he does. He doesn't act like one of these psychos shooting anyone in a shopping mall or school. He directs his rage at particular bullies and he doesn't even really want to kill them. Just teach them a good lesson

Isn’t that the same attitude that dying golfer had?
I think it's funny how I got a golf ad when I clicked on this video.
When he shot the golf cart I couldn't stop laughing because this is what everyone would love to do to golf carts.

George Carlin: The Movie.
That would have required at least one scene where religion is the problem surely.
He was more liberal this guy was more conservative.
Still one of my all time favorite movies. I see why Michael Douglas said it was his favorite to make. EPIC!
1:03. The moment you realize you should have listened to your friend and let the guy pass.
That's just it. The asshole realized nothing. At the end he was still whimpering "my golf course". We own nothing in life. We are only custodians of the things we share.
This movie I feel resembles everything we feel but don’t act out on, it’s a masterpiece
Watching this scene again for the first time in ages totally made my day after a really bad day at the office.
This movie had zero cgi and special effects. It only used acting and relating to everyday people. Excellent work
"Now you're gonna die, wearing that stupid little hat" sounds like something Bill Burr would say xD
@Dustin Cleveland Now i can hear that line with Bill Burr's voice and i wouldn't be surprised if it was one of his favourite movies , it is one of mine ... be safe out there.
Something furio would say
ZIPPPP.....
Even in the moments of dying he still says "MY golf course"...
Wow I never noticed that !! That’s crazy..
Maybe they will burry him at the 18th hole.

Falling Down is my favorite golf movie of all time. Caddyshack and Happy Gilmore pale in comparison.
Dude watched one clip and then compares it to other golf themed movies....
Nah ain't got nothing on Caddyshack 2
It's the only one that's up to par.
i agree.
Only thing missing is Judge Smails.
One of the all time greatest commentaries on the culture of America, and the world at large.
Every scene a gem of truth from the standpoint of the deteriorating ethos of “love thy neighbor.”
This movie spoke to the moment of our culture at the time of its release.
It’s a classic.
Michael Douglas was truly the only actor who could have played this part.
Brilliant.
Bryan Cranston has played a similar character. There are a lot of great actors that have that range.
everybody criticizes America, and sometimes rightly so, but in my estimation, America, more than any other country, has a long history of introspection and trying to get things right.
The actor who played the golfer did an awesome job!
it was amazing how today that golfer would be called childish and they'd have him arrested for assault and battery by trying to hit someone with a golf ball.
@@neglectfulsausage7689 thought the actor portrayed him well. He made you hate him
This movie is criminally underrated. Douglas completely disappears into his character.
7,6/10 on imdb, hardly underrated.

ive been a golfer for 35 yrs and love this scene. there's certainly some assholes that fit the bill of this guy, & although side with MD here, have seen quite a instances of members of the public (that how golfers differetiate non-members) who dont respect anyone's space or right to enjoy themselves (like they want to), even on their own land, so can understan why some get a tad mad. you see fools walking out in the line of the shot, picnics on fairways, portable barbeques, motorbikes, burned out cars, drinking 'clubs', RC vehicles, football games, but the best I saw was a guy just walk out and started training his bird of prey on a fairway in the middle of the day.
Golf Sucks.
@@Stephen647 hahaha even golfers who love the game say that
FOUR....FOOOURRR.....*PULLS OUT SHOTGUN*....FIVE!

I thought it was either "five" or "fine" hahaha! sounded funny as fuck
***** no your right its five i honestly thought it was fine too but after you said five i listened through and i am 100% sure he said five.
No idea. But if it is on the official subtitles then most likely five. either way still funny as fuck!

jokoreich Exactly. I think most people would politely ask him to leave instead of freaking out like Frank or FunForAllTheFamily10.
FunForAllTheFamily10 I said politely asking him to leave. I don't know what you see as polite but to me it's not yelling "GO BACK THE WAY YA CAME! THIS IS MY GOLF COURSE, IF HE GETS HIT, THAT'S HIS OWN FUCKIN' PROBLEM". His pills were for a heart condition, that's no reason for him to flip out when he doesn't get what he wants
FunForAllTheFamily10 I have flipped out before, that's no lie but I have never yelled and assaulted someone for it. I think those that do assault others for this need anger management before they do something they regret... like Frank. Also, what have I not read properly from your previous comments? They seem pretty clear. All I don't really understand is "No tawk". did you mean 'No talk'?
FunForAllTheFamily10 are you seriously trying to justify rude behavior?
+Noface Bailey Rude ones always do. It's the paradoxical nature of rude people in denial to attempt to justify their actions while ignoring any stance that their actions were universally inappropriate and should not have occurred.
This conveys about half my feelings about golf courses.
Yes, the water wasted. if we're such engineers their should be a waterless golf course for this useless game
Shout out to his friend for being wise. Too many people are obsessed with their egos, willing to escalate things physically for no legit reason. You NEVER know the mental state of the strangers you encounter. Play it safe.
William's cynicism is unreal. I like how he doesn't even bat an eye when the old guy is dying from a heart attack.
When I saw this as a young child. I thought this was an awesome film laced with dark humor.
Now as an old man... I see it as a heartbreaking film. I've seen some people in my life whose lives fell apart
much like his (although they did not lose it like this guy).
I just realised he says 'your little cart's gonna drown' but I always thought he said 'your little heart's gonna drown' which works just as well.
