The briefcase is a metaphor for his old life. It is empty, shallow and all that resides is the bare essentials (sandwhich and an apple). He finally gives it up for his new life when he finds the bag of guns (destruction and chaos).
One of the best edited films I've ever seen. Excellent acting all around. This film deserved more recognition than it originally received when it came out back in the early 90s.
I was 16 when this came out and watched it sometimes in the mid 90s. now that 'm 41 & a working slave. This movie rings true more than anyoen can imagine

Great actor, but I could just not believe his character, no way did he look like he could pull off that scene with the Mexicans, they would have killed him.
Specially after the trauma of lockdown under COVID. People has become more short tempered. I remember shuddering when I first watched Fallling Down. This is a very complicated and complex movie, it mirrors the most complicated and complex thing in the universe: man. At the end of his rope, he suffered injustice yet he turned self righteous. There’s a very good saying in English though: two wrongs don’t make a right. Even though I can identify with his emotional pain, violence / revenge is never the answer. But yeah, this a classical and visionary movie. It will always be current. It deals with mental decay, the man is really falling down, breaking down before our eyes. And this is very real, everywhere, all the time. Sad. I would really love hearing Dr. Jordan Peterson analysis on this character.
Easily his best role. I still don’t understand why so few people know this movie. Maybe it just resonated with me. But then again i am just a middle class white guy.
This movie is actually dealing with some serious subjects,but i couldnt stop laughing when he said 'You forgot your briefcase' and the dude was running away!

This was such an underrated film, not played too often and that's unfortunate. It shows someone who was pushed to the point that he snapped, and once he did, or was EPIC!
...probably the reason it ends as it does ...he was an "anti-hero" ...who went "off-track" ...one step away from being the sort of guy who would go on a workplace-rampage ...or go on to become a "domestic-terrorist"
MetalThunderForce he lost his sanity?? He is right about everything!! He just say everything everybody wants to say but never say or do but never do..,
Yeah, when the movie starts and he's sitting in the congested traffic lane he's already in prime meltdown. He doesn't snap after awhile, he's already gone.
This was such an under-appreciated movie. I think the critics didn't praise it too much, because it was so un-PC. Mike Douglas steps right into his dad's shoes as another great actor.
Critics liked it just fine. It's modern critics that don't talk that much about it, mainly because it never really caught on as a classic/cult classic. More people seem to remember Frank Grimes than DFENS.

Agreed. A great movie. Had Duvall and Tuesday Weld and Rachel ....
I had an engineering professor in college that dressed and looked just like this. ....hair, glasses.......everything...... when he saw the movie he started carrying a bag like that.......
Not one duped vet has done anything to defend the freedoms here in the states, not one has stopped the enemies within this country which are actually taking our freedoms. They just killed innocent civilians of other counties trying to live their own lives which retaliated back. All for the rich elite's games of power and profit.
This movie is genius, it's actually ironic in some way. The main character is considered a psychopath, but in reality, he isn't that crazy, maybe it's just society itself that made him that way. In other words, there's nothing wrong with him, he's just the product of our flawed society, it just so happens that he couldn't handle it.
@@logicalnotes5007, what evidence is there that they are not cowards? Did you not see them running? It takes a punk to mess with somebody innocent who doesn't seem threatening.
One thing in this movie that’s often overlooked is the weapons. Each time he is confronted by the sickness of society, it upgrades his weapons. Becoming more and more violent and punishing to society, thus society gives him the upgrades of weapons. It’s a subtle symbology. He started with nothing, but the violent interactions each time, upgrade his response.
Listen. When you walk up to a man and threaten him, and just talks calmly to you, maybe its a good sign to walk away. They're usually the crazy ones. Just saying
No, we are not crazy. We just don`t care and won`t be intimidated. Its like - if you want all I have, then you are going to have to take all I have....
One of my favorite movies. It really does a good job at explaining how a man can act once everything is taken away from him. It explains very well the bullshit that is happening even today.
lol, no. You guys keep thinking the people who call him nuts are on the side of the gang kids. No, it's because he watched the movie to the end. th-cam.com/video/cXPTzmUaptY/w-d-xo.html
It's hard to believe that this awesome flick was directed by Joel Schumacher. The same guy who made the infamous Batman & Robin. One a masterpiece & the other.... well, you know.
Tobias Chance The guy is pretty good at making Psychological Thrillers surprisingly, another one of his films, Phone Booth resonates with me in a similar way to Falling Down, albeit it focuses more on the terror than the dark comedy shown in Falling Down but I like it. I share your confusion on how he could fuck up Batman and Robin so badly, maybe he had his hand forced and had to make decisions on the film he didn't want to do, I wouldn't know, all I do know is that he made Falling Down and Phone Booth, two really well made movies.. :D
immigrants actually lower crime. When people flee violence the last thing they want is trouble. I do wish Trump supporters would actually do a little research. Fox news is brainwashing you.
@@ivv6721 This film predicts what all white men will go through over the next 30 yrs or so...once he's had enough of all the bullshit and once he's sick of being penalized for being white... eventually the white men are going to unite and rise up against the shit... starting with those evil traitors..'the white liberals' those stupid fuckers fuelling their own demise and not intelligent enough to realize it...yep we'll exectute them first... then we'll take power over all governments and return to a christian way of life where people can prosper as families, we will reinstate education systems that work, like the one's our fathers and grandfathers had, we'll make the world a fair place, rewards for effort and hard work, we'll make sure the lazy will never be able to live off the state benefit system..we will take control of mass media and regulate it heavily to stop the destruction of young minds and promote wholesome and realistic values. people will live in a world were privilege is earned and not simply expected...
The only bad thing about this scene was that he threw his bat at the thug coming up the steps. He should have gone after him and given him a wallopin'.
@@jimskelton7531 well at least us radicals dont drink bleach like the trumpers do...lets see if their hero pays any legal costs of the insurrectionists
The briefcase was basically worthless, but in the mind of the character, that was all he had, so it mattered a great deal to him. It was worth fighting for. When people try to steal, there’s no consideration for relative worth. If there were, they might not steal as much.
If it mattered as much as you think it did, he wouldn't of given it to the the bum at the park. If I had something that I don't need or even want and someone came up to me demanding that I give it them, like in this clip, I am going to tell them to go fuck themselves. If they asked nicely however, I would say "Go ahead, take it, it's yours!". Get the picture? RECAP: Why did he not give the briefcase to the thugs? They were aggressive and violent. Why did he give the briefcase to the bum? He was only being annoying (non-violent), and he also wasn't getting the picture. Giving him the briefcase was the final "don't harass me, I ain't gonna help you, get off my back!", the bum annoyed him no more.
Well it wasnt worth something because thats all he had. not in the monetary sense. it was a matter of principle. it wasnt because thats all he had. its because its what he had. he had a lot more than a brief case.
I just love how Foster just casually walks away while toying with the gang member's knife just after his life was in danger a few minutes ago. "...how they do that?" 🤣
Clearly, they didn't learn, because criminal punks never learn. The only thing they learn is pushing and killing people around. They only stop when they're unable to do those things due to disability, incapacitation or their own death, not because they become good/better. Wiping them out is a noble deed.
Well paced and some damn good acting. Michael Douglas could have easily over acted in this film but he played it just right. Satiating and entertaining.
Say what you will about the last 4 years -- you can't deny that Donald Trump's presidency has been eventful. In this video, we revisit every phase of Trump's presidency and analyze his accomplishments! | WATCH ==> th-cam.com/video/FcQRWgxCYdE/w-d-xo.html
I so relate to this film....and for me it's less to do with race and more to do with an ordinary hard working man who has had enough of the bullshit, hatred and injustice and sometimes just plain rudeness of the world....
Just dl'ed the movie to see what it's about. The racist bullshit starts about 5 minutes in when he basically holds up some convenience store owned by a Korean guy with some nationalistic bullshit rhetoric about how Koreans are overcharging for soda, and "do you know how much money we gave your country". Like the U.S. didn't fucking invade Korea.
I agree completely but unfortunately I doubt anybody is going to pay much attention to this comment as class consciousness is regrettably not on people's minds anymore.
I like how he upgrades his weapons. Started off with nothing, then upgrades to a bat, then a knife, then a gun, machine guns and shotguns, then a bazooka. Lol oh it's World War 3 for him

@@logicalnotes5007, what evidence is there that they are not cowards? Did you not see them running? It takes a punk to mess with somebody innocent who doesn't seem threatening.

Bullies are cowards.
"There are NO bigger cowards than bullies."
Another words, bullies are the BIGGEST cowards on earth.
One thing in this movie that’s often overlooked is the weapons. Each time he is confronted by the sickness of society, it upgrades his weapons. Becoming more and more violent and punishing to society, thus society gives him the upgrades of weapons. It’s a subtle symbology. He started with nothing, but the violent interactions each time, upgrade his response.

+Don't ask Is that why my chicken dinner is getting cold, that you're telling me that society excuses his destructive behavior?
Somebody was paying attention.
It's called survival dude, and they did a great job is this movie
..and wasn't he laid off from a weapons job?
Love how he upgrades his weaponry along his journey. Brilliant movie
Listen. When you walk up to a man and threaten him, and just talks calmly to you, maybe its a good sign to walk away. They're usually the crazy ones. Just saying
No, we are not crazy. We just don`t care and won`t be intimidated. Its like - if you want all I have, then you are going to have to take all I have....
They don't have to be crazy. They could just be armed.
I have a Texas LTC and I'm ALWAYS packing.
...& they've usually been
driven crazy.
Yeah.....but u forgot.......human pride
Sometimes you get pushed enough that nothing matters anymore. At the point of having nothing left to lose a man becomes very dangerous.
Are you talkin about a Republican or a Democrat?

@@MarkaLeech Yeah!
One of the greatest classics of all time
One of my favorite movies. It really does a good job at explaining how a man can act once everything is taken away from him. It explains very well the bullshit that is happening even today.
When a man is pushed to far, he becomes more dangerous
'Too'. It's too far.
the most dangerous man is the man that is pushed too far and yet still insist's on acting Civil and calm
because when he explodes.... You're fucked

Sounds like your on the side of the thugs?

lol, no. You guys keep thinking the people who call him nuts are on the side of the gang kids.
No, it's because he watched the movie to the end.

It's hard to believe that this awesome flick was directed by Joel Schumacher. The same guy who made the infamous Batman & Robin. One a masterpiece & the other.... well, you know.
Lmao well he directed DC CAB also which was stupid imo
fashizzle78 DC Cab was a masterpiece compared to Batman & Robin. lol
***** That's very true & it had Mr. T & Gary Busey in it too. Hard to top that. Haha.
Tobias Chance The guy is pretty good at making Psychological Thrillers surprisingly, another one of his films, Phone Booth resonates with me in a similar way to Falling Down, albeit it focuses more on the terror than the dark comedy shown in Falling Down but I like it. I share your confusion on how he could fuck up Batman and Robin so badly, maybe he had his hand forced and had to make decisions on the film he didn't want to do, I wouldn't know, all I do know is that he made Falling Down and Phone Booth, two really well made movies.. :D
***** Phone booth is class as is Falling Down. I think Kiefer Sutherland is the phone man yeah?
Anyone else cheer during this scene? I sure did.
....or later on when he told them "you missed" 😆😆
I was bummed out at the end, it wasn’t a happy ending for me but a damn good movie.
Now we're all starting to feel like him
I know. But I'm going to do some thing about it. Trust me.
immigrants actually lower crime. When people flee violence the last thing they want is trouble. I do wish Trump supporters would actually do a little research. Fox news is brainwashing you.
@@ivv6721 This film predicts what all white men will go through over the next 30 yrs or so...once he's had enough of all the bullshit and once he's sick of being penalized for being white... eventually the white men are going to unite and rise up against the shit... starting with those evil traitors..'the white liberals' those stupid fuckers fuelling their own demise and not intelligent enough to realize it...yep we'll exectute them first... then we'll take power over all governments and return to a christian way of life where people can prosper as families, we will reinstate education systems that work, like the one's our fathers and grandfathers had, we'll make the world a fair place, rewards for effort and hard work, we'll make sure the lazy will never be able to live off the state benefit system..we will take control of mass media and regulate it heavily to stop the destruction of young minds and promote wholesome and realistic values. people will live in a world were privilege is earned and not simply expected...
The only bad thing about this scene was that he threw his bat at the thug coming up the steps. He should have gone after him and given him a wallopin'.
Or Whammyburgered him.
If he was Charles Bronson...
i think its better that he doesn't. shows his mercy. he is not really looking for the fight.
He's just upgrading. Vid game style
Agreed. The fact that the piece of shit wouldn't run was reason enough to break his other arm and legs too.
One of my all time favorite movies. I still have it on VHS. Brilliant.
Just imagine this film made today? CNN & Don Lemon would accuse him of white-privilege, hate speech, unconscious biass and micro-aggressions.

The best line of all - "Fellas I've had a rare morning"
The briefcase was basically worthless, but in the mind of the character, that was all he had, so it mattered a great deal to him. It was worth fighting for. When people try to steal, there’s no consideration for relative worth. If there were, they might not steal as much.
If it mattered as much as you think it did, he wouldn't of given it to the the bum at the park.
If I had something that I don't need or even want and someone came up to me demanding that I give it them, like in this clip, I am going to tell them to go fuck themselves. If they asked nicely however, I would say "Go ahead, take it, it's yours!".
Get the picture?
RECAP:
Why did he not give the briefcase to the thugs? They were aggressive and violent.
Why did he give the briefcase to the bum? He was only being annoying (non-violent), and he also wasn't getting the picture. Giving him the briefcase was the final "don't harass me, I ain't gonna help you, get off my back!", the bum annoyed him no more.
Well it wasnt worth something because thats all he had. not in the monetary sense. it was a matter of principle. it wasnt because thats all he had. its because its what he had. he had a lot more than a brief case.
Damn good movie this was, I need to see it again.
Tim Scott hmm if you want to see the movie again I think you should give up your briefcase!!
Tim Scott frustration of every common coporate working man
When you've taken everything else away from a man, the only thing left is rage.
I just love how Foster just casually walks away while toying with the gang member's knife just after his life was in danger a few minutes ago.
"...how they do that?" 🤣
He disciplined them the way their parents should have. At least he didn't kill them, he just taught them a lesson.
Ahhh yeah, about that last sentence...
He killed them later and laughed at them.
Clearly, they didn't learn, because criminal punks never learn. The only thing they learn is pushing and killing people around. They only stop when they're unable to do those things due to disability, incapacitation or their own death, not because they become good/better. Wiping them out is a noble deed.
Randy Boring how did he “kill them”? They did a drive by and shot innocent people and crashed. Darwinism.
"if you had written it F#@#$ English I would've been able to read it"..ahahahahaha
Andre Janssens love it
I did like THAT line. Lol.

"I'm going home. Clear a path!!!"
Best line EVER
Read this right when he said it. Lol
I loved this fuckin movie when it came out over 20 years ago and still do...it’s as relevant today as it was then....brilliant
I like how the further he goes in the film, the less fear you hear in his voice. Great film
I liked when he wiped out that Nazi shop owner
"It says all that???" LOL
The “how’d he do that?” after he picked up the knife killed me 😂
Well paced and some damn good acting. Michael Douglas could have easily over acted in this film but he played it just right. Satiating and entertaining.
"I mean, I wouldn't want you people in my backyard either..." 😂🤣🤣😭👍💯

A threat to his family. Mostly to be pc.
To me he was a bloody hero
You didnt live with him maybe he was a bastard indoors he obviously has anger issues.
@@glenhawkett661 maybe, maybe she was the bastard at home
By the end he was going to kill his ex and kid and do himself. He had killed already and was spiraling out of control.

One of my all time favorite movies ever Falling Down forever a classic
"Well maybe if you wrote it in fuckin' English I could fuckin' understand it".....fuckin' classic ha ha
Way ahead of its time. This us how it all started.
I so relate to this film....and for me it's less to do with race and more to do with an ordinary hard working man who has had enough of the bullshit, hatred and injustice and sometimes just plain rudeness of the world....
Yup, his reaction to the insanity everyone is accustomed to
Just dl'ed the movie to see what it's about. The racist bullshit starts about 5 minutes in when he basically holds up some convenience store owned by a Korean guy with some nationalistic bullshit rhetoric about how Koreans are overcharging for soda, and "do you know how much money we gave your country". Like the U.S. didn't fucking invade Korea.
@@haystack292992 The U.S. didn't invade.

he literally was going to walk away without the briefcase until they said they wanted it then he turned around for it lol
Lol
That's the one line I remember of this movie: " I'M GOING HOME!"
I like how he upgrades his weapons. Started off with nothing, then upgrades to a bat, then a knife, then a gun, machine guns and shotguns, then a bazooka. Lol oh it's World War 3 for him
Funny, I just wanted to write the same thing. XD
