I was on the golf team for my highschool i got kicked out because some old asshat claimed that i wasnt "club material" man how i wish i could have wrapped a putter around his head
Terrific film when i was 40. Still terrific at 70. Excellent soundtrack. True antihero. True statement on our society. Michael Douglas nailed the character
The whole notion IT MATTERS if every player simply played at their own speed...acres vs a tiny little ball, who cares who's on a hole? We live in abundance but people act as if we are all starving to death. gee wonder where that one comes from? oh yes the profiteers again.
I remember watching this movie in the cinemas, and we were all cheering for D-Fens guy all the way through, a lot of the shit he faced is what we wish we could do as well. Michael Douglas, you sir summed up modern society.
Xaveric, to say a movie has one singular "point" is kind of missing it. Movies are best when no one character is perfect, and Falling Down is a great example of that. Even Pendergrast, the morally upstanding veteran cop, clearly made mistakes in his life, marrying his chubby wife, retiring from a job he loves, and moving to a shithole in Arizona for her for example. D-Fens is certainly not without his flaws, no one is. But a simple fact of movies is that different people will watch the same movie and identify most with different characters.
@@talbertobarbossa75 Prendergast actually decides not to retire because of the encounter with bill foster. This is revealed when he talks to adele and says my name is mud... (Adele)Na uh... Well it will be when my wife finds out I'm still a cop.
The Angry White Male I wasn’t rooting for the cop, but he had no faults. He was a normal person, who happened to be a cop. Normal issues. D-Fens went off the deep-end.
you can see at the end when he asked if he was sorry that he didn't let him through, you can hear the old man say ''my golf course''. so even when he was dying, the old man didn't apologize to him, good riddance.
I wouldn't waste my dying words apologizing to the psychopath who was basically the cause of my death, even if I did try to kill him first. The old man didn't know it, but Michael Douglas's character DID deserve to die! Not only was he trespassing, he was trespassing while in the middle of a murderous rampage. Regardless, he was right about one thing: it WAS his golf course.
@@bridgettebianchi9315 I understand that the movie is supposed to be about a crazy world, which is a big part of why I find the movie so deplorable, but to say that the main character is acting in a "sane" way is just ridiculous. Sane people don't hold up fast food restaurants and threaten to kill people in order to gain a hamburger sandwich that is like the ones in the commercials. Did he not do this in the film, and do you regard that as sane?
Totally agree, this was one of the finest examples of the "common person" finally getting even for the injustices done by so many. Bravo Michael, hope you live as long as your esteemed father did. And George Carlin is probably going in heaven, "now that was a classic line from a classic movie".
Calling a man out about his selfish and stupid ways (including talking about his attire) then on top of it all asking him "How does it feel?" while he's dying...priceless.
Extremely under rated movie. Excellent in every aspect. In the theater I watched the audience go from laughing and cheering what he was doing to being completely silent as he went too far.
It was definitely disturbing the way he was coming after his ex wife and kid. High strung, angry, obsessive and stalker-ish, with a complete lack of self awareness to be able to see himself objectively, and why he scared them. O.o And no regard for how they may have felt. That's where I imagine the theater wasn't laughing much anymore.
@@halleck3 Seems that way when you're younger and made some good decisions so aren't boxed into a corner. Wait until you're in your 50's.... If you're working for someone else and they decide they can replace you with a younger person for less and then no other employer wants you because you're over 50, you'll be in the same spot Douglas' character is in this movie... It happens every day...
It's no joke, a quick ball or stone to the head is a lot like a bullet; not quite, but it's just as devastating. That's why warriors thousands of years ago used slings with stones.
I was at a party where the idea was to dress as a character from a 90's movie, so I came dressed as D-FENS in this scene. To my surprise, a few people actually knew the character.
After 24 years that this movie was releases I still can't forget about it. Every time I see a construcción site I think about this movie or a Hamburger stand selling there crappy Hamburgers LOL.
Isaac Espinoza I think of everything you said and I when I see banks I also think about this movie too when the black guy that was protesting about the bank turning a loan down. The black said that they’ve turned him down because he was economically inviable.
I honestly feel more bad for his friend. Golf is fun and all he wanted to do was have a nice day out of the golf course and his friend had to pick a fight.
It's funny how you see the old golfing partner as, if I understand you correctly, an innocent victim, yet you point only to his friend who "picked a fight" as the evil one who caused his troubles. Meanwhile there was a man carrying a sawed off shotgun deliberately across a private golf course just waiting for someone to give him an excuse to pull it out, who is the man that actually threatened to shoot him and his friend, and deprived him of his life saving medicine, about whom you apparently had nothing bad to say. Of whom was that golfer a victim, really?
@@honestdave I merely made an observation about your choice of emphasis, that the only cause of that man's troubles which you bothered to name happened to be the one not carrying the shotgun. Yes I think it implies that the man not carrying the shotgun is guiltier in your mind, but I didn't say that was what was truly in your mind for certain. Anyway I'm not trying to drag you into any argument you don't want a part of. But I really hate this movie.
@@seeker.8785 well that honestly makes sense cuz you're not supposed to sympathize with Foster but you're also not supposed to sympathize with the world around him this movie is not for everyone trust me. I'm sorry if I offended you with my comment but I'm just speaking my mind
A lot of people were [ and are] under the impression that this was as simple as being either a "conservative" or "liberal" movie. WRONG. Falling Down took on shit from both sides; that's why it works. A lot of people also overlook the way that Robert Duval's character copes with his own ill-treatment as a [ soon to be retired] member of the "Establishment".
Thought he was out of contract. I could be wrong. Been YEARS since I've watched it, but I thought his contract had not been renewed, and that he was actually out of a job, and had been for a while now. But he kept going out every day with his briefcase as if he still had a job, in denial of his actual situation.
@@amandeepgill5206 "Sawed off is like the boomstick from evil dead" Generally it means a shotgun that has had its barrel sawn off To make it shorter But yeah Boomstick Dont even have to aim
Logically we need to take less bullshit. The world and society itself is becoming more convoluted and complicated with each year. One day there will be a “snap”. Realistically that will be scary because total anarchy will enact. NO ONE would be safe. It would be a scary time if we all hive mind hit the proverbial edge. In a fictional sense I relate to Michael Douglas as this character. We all want to do this. The only thing stopping us, is that others haven’t.
Nah. It's ultimately entitled behavior. Movie is brilliant but this guy was mentally ill and brought endless grief to everyone who loved him. If you're sympathozing eith him it speaks volumes. He's far from a hero. Don't like prices? Shop somewhere else. Don't wanna get divorced? Work out anger issues. His wife was terrified of this guy. Terrified. Like I said far from a hero.
@@mjpthetrucker9485that's what you would call a anti hero he's a hero in some ways but does do stuff that morally aren't considered good by the public or law enforcement
Worse in the uk the whole worlds great divide. You got some really rich and powerful people and powerful organisations like the CIA that are up to no good interfering with other countries. And then straight down to the poor who camt afford to eat while billionaires waste hundreds of dollars on designer clothes and shoes or cars or just pure luxury. They couldnt have done anything better by investing money in charities for animals or the poor rather than some random 5000 pound shoes.
The entire movie has a studied ambiguity. The characters he encounters always bring about their own downfall. He is just the occasion for it. And in the end he is shot for pulling a water gun. Who is falling down? Is it he? Or is it the society he lives in? Notice that detective Prendergast has learned something from all of this. He will no longer put up with his wife's antics and demands his dinner be ready when he gets home. And the home video at the end: A man losing mildly losing his temper... Is this the enemy of mankind?
@@KISSHOOTERS6969 I personally don't like golf because of how much of a huge waste it is. Like D-FENS says: all that land can be used for so much greater and more fulfilling things, but it's wasted on small balls, flagpoles, and glorified go-karts. That being said, it is still just my opinion.
This is one of the best movies ever made to this day. For years I was hoping there would be a part 2. Yes, I saw the ending of the movie of course but Hollywood can make Anytime happen.
Anyone notice how this scene is an exact reflection of the Mexicans earlier in the film? Race, class and wealth seperate them yet theyre still one in the same. Both use violence to claim land on top of a hill as theirs. Both threatened by a man who did nothing to provoke them and unwilling to share or listen to reason. This movie has so many metaphors and statements on society, its hard to believe its the same guy who made fucking Batman and Robin!
Steve Kaczynski dude the golfer tried to kill him. If a rock could kill Goliath, imagine a 80 MPH fast hard golf ball. The golf guy and the Mexicans were BOTH in the wrong. D could’ve just went around the hill with the Mexicans as well, dude.
@@stevekaczynski3793 They both threatened his life. It may be argued that the golfers were actually more likely to kill him given the Mexicans seemed to be posturing more than anything or they would have stabbed him when he was making some grandiose speech. The golfers actually aimed the ball in his direction with enough force to legitimately kill him before they even had a chance to exchange greetings. Though the Mexicans return to make an actual attempt as well later on. So both were equally likely to kill him in their attempts.
The video is flipped to avoid being auto-deleted by TH-cam's copyright bots. This is the reason why so many movie and TV clips on TH-cam show people clutching their right side when clutching their heart.
btw the reason the people grab their chest with their right arm is because the right arm is not affected. there is actually a medical term for it en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levine%27s_sign
@Matt S I agree. OP called them selfish, but hes given the wrong reason. When he said 'there should be families pickinicking, he was just making a point at how land is wasted. They were selfish, because they were bothered by a guy passing through. Almost nothing.
@Matt S if my small garden is the ONLY route to an important place and you are urgent in my presence, I'd let you pass. Also, do you REALLY think that my small 2x5 metre area garden is comparable to 10,000 square metres of land for golfing?

@@DemocracyManifestunderrated comment 😂
Did you also wear a silly little hat?
I remember watching this movie in the cinemas, and we were all cheering for D-Fens guy all the way through, a lot of the shit he faced is what we wish we could do as well. Michael Douglas, you sir summed up modern society.
the point of the movie is that you should cheer pendergrast, not D-Fens
Xaveric, to say a movie has one singular "point" is kind of missing it. Movies are best when no one character is perfect, and Falling Down is a great example of that. Even Pendergrast, the morally upstanding veteran cop, clearly made mistakes in his life, marrying his chubby wife, retiring from a job he loves, and moving to a shithole in Arizona for her for example. D-Fens is certainly not without his flaws, no one is. But a simple fact of movies is that different people will watch the same movie and identify most with different characters.
@@talbertobarbossa75 Prendergast actually decides not to retire because of the encounter with bill foster. This is revealed when he talks to adele and says my name is mud... (Adele)Na uh... Well it will be when my wife finds out I'm still a cop.
Yeah... but he still would have if he hadn't had the encounter with Foster
The Angry White Male I wasn’t rooting for the cop, but he had no faults. He was a normal person, who happened to be a cop. Normal issues.
D-Fens went off the deep-end.
you can see at the end when he asked if he was sorry that he didn't let him through, you can hear the old man say ''my golf course''. so even when he was dying, the old man didn't apologize to him, good riddance.
I wouldn't waste my dying words apologizing to the psychopath who was basically the cause of my death, even if I did try to kill him first. The old man didn't know it, but Michael Douglas's character DID deserve to die! Not only was he trespassing, he was trespassing while in the middle of a murderous rampage. Regardless, he was right about one thing: it WAS his golf course.
@Seeker.87 you do not understand the movie. He is becoming sane. It is everyone else that is crazy and psychopathic. 😉
@@bridgettebianchi9315 I understand that the movie is supposed to be about a crazy world, which is a big part of why I find the movie so deplorable, but to say that the main character is acting in a "sane" way is just ridiculous. Sane people don't hold up fast food restaurants and threaten to kill people in order to gain a hamburger sandwich that is like the ones in the commercials. Did he not do this in the film, and do you regard that as sane?

Oooh.. Yeah.. I'm gonna have to go ahead and sort of disagree with you there.. Yeah
I never saw that ratio before. Great catch.
I love the fact he was threatening, menacing and sarcastic all in one 😂😂
Extremely under rated movie. Excellent in every aspect. In the theater I watched the audience go from laughing and cheering what he was doing to being completely silent as he went too far.
It was definitely disturbing the way he was coming after his ex wife and kid. High strung, angry, obsessive and stalker-ish, with a complete lack of self awareness to be able to see himself objectively, and why he scared them. O.o And no regard for how they may have felt. That's where I imagine the theater wasn't laughing much anymore.
The guy acting as the old golfer is underrated, great character acting.
Yeah he was really great nobody really mentions that, everyone is just glad he died lol
He went down on his principles, MY...GOLF COURSE!!
0:38 Jack Betts has a hell of a filmography - General Hospital, Seinfeld, Spider-Man (2002), there's a lot there.
ironic thing is Michael Douglas is actually an avid golfer in real life
Omg
Isn't it ironic how he's not like the character he played in the film?
Ironically he has never pulled a TEC9 at a Mcdonalds.
@Dustin Sudbrink That's a funny comment!!! XD
Golfers is one thing, country club motherfuckers are another.
this movie was 20 years ahead of its time. They paint this guy as a psycho in 1992 but today I think half the american citizens feel this way.

This was really the most cathartic part of the entire movie for me. I always think of it as the feel-good part of the movie. 😂

I honestly feel more bad for his friend. Golf is fun and all he wanted to do was have a nice day out of the golf course and his friend had to pick a fight.
It's funny how you see the old golfing partner as, if I understand you correctly, an innocent victim, yet you point only to his friend who "picked a fight" as the evil one who caused his troubles. Meanwhile there was a man carrying a sawed off shotgun deliberately across a private golf course just waiting for someone to give him an excuse to pull it out, who is the man that actually threatened to shoot him and his friend, and deprived him of his life saving medicine, about whom you apparently had nothing bad to say. Of whom was that golfer a victim, really?
@@seeker.8785 dude don't get into this. I'm not saying Fosters an innocent character either no one did you just made a stupid assumption.
@@honestdave I merely made an observation about your choice of emphasis, that the only cause of that man's troubles which you bothered to name happened to be the one not carrying the shotgun. Yes I think it implies that the man not carrying the shotgun is guiltier in your mind, but I didn't say that was what was truly in your mind for certain. Anyway I'm not trying to drag you into any argument you don't want a part of. But I really hate this movie.
@@seeker.8785 well that honestly makes sense cuz you're not supposed to sympathize with Foster but you're also not supposed to sympathize with the world around him this movie is not for everyone trust me. I'm sorry if I offended you with my comment but I'm just speaking my mind

Golf is kind of a snobby sport anyway. I agree, that's a waste of land.
Herbert The Pervert yup

Florida alone has like 30,000 golf courses. The sport can be fun, but is really necessary to build more golf courses than are requested by the public.
Well, snobs will never admit they are snobs, are they?
Not enough kids involved right?
A lot of people were [ and are] under the impression that this was as simple as being either a "conservative" or "liberal" movie. WRONG.

Thought he was out of contract. I could be wrong. Been YEARS since I've watched it, but I thought his contract had not been renewed, and that he was actually out of a job, and had been for a while now. But he kept going out every day with his briefcase as if he still had a job, in denial of his actual situation.
That is correct, from what I remember of it.
He threatens old men and minimum wage earning young women equally.

Logically we need to take less bullshit. The world and society itself is becoming more convoluted and complicated with each year. One day there will be a “snap”. Realistically that will be scary because total anarchy will enact. NO ONE would be safe. It would be a scary time if we all hive mind hit the proverbial edge. In a fictional sense I relate to Michael Douglas as this character. We all want to do this. The only thing stopping us, is that others haven’t.
Nah. It's ultimately entitled behavior. Movie is brilliant but this guy was mentally ill and brought endless grief to everyone who loved him. If you're sympathozing eith him it speaks volumes.

His friend actually said: "I don't like the looks of this guy" and the other friend completely ignored it.
The entire movie has a studied ambiguity. The characters he encounters always bring about their own downfall. He is just the occasion for it. And in the end he is shot for pulling a water gun. Who is falling down? Is it he? Or is it the society he lives in? Notice that detective Prendergast has learned something from all of this. He will no longer put up with his wife's antics and demands his dinner be ready when he gets home. And the home video at the end: A man losing mildly losing his temper... Is this the enemy of mankind?
Did you say “mildly losing his temper?”
“Demands his dinner ready when he gets home”

This is one of the best movies ever made to this day. For years I was hoping there would be a part 2. Yes, I saw the ending of the movie of course but Hollywood can make Anytime happen.
Anyone notice how this scene is an exact reflection of the Mexicans earlier in the film? Race, class and wealth seperate them yet theyre still one in the same. Both use violence to claim land on top of a hill as theirs. Both threatened by a man who did nothing to provoke them and unwilling to share or listen to reason. This movie has so many metaphors and statements on society, its hard to believe its the same guy who made fucking Batman and Robin!
sergeantbigmac
Great job observing.
best comment on the movie i've seen.
Steve Kaczynski dude the golfer tried to kill him. If a rock could kill Goliath, imagine a 80 MPH fast hard golf ball. The golf guy and the Mexicans were BOTH in the wrong. D could’ve just went around the hill with the Mexicans as well, dude.
Like others have said, excellent observation!
@@stevekaczynski3793 They both threatened his life. It may be argued that the golfers were actually more likely to kill him given the Mexicans seemed to be posturing more than anything or they would have stabbed him when he was making some grandiose speech. The golfers actually aimed the ball in his direction with enough force to legitimately kill him before they even had a chance to exchange greetings. Though the Mexicans return to make an actual attempt as well later on. So both were equally likely to kill him in their attempts.
This movie connects with lots of people. We have all been there at one point in our life.
