Classic film. My life is dominated by rampage fantasies...I have Falling Down moments daily. Great choice for a review...

[Mockery]

Now you're gonna die, wearing that stupid little hat. How does it feel?

[executioneer]

this movie makes me cry

[Pentegarn]

This was a really good movie that had a decent crop of classic lines.

[Dungeonbrownies]

he practically lives what we all expect to happen and are quite surprised to find has not quite yet happened at all

[Protoclown]

Quite possibly the only good thing Joel Schumacher has ever done in his life.

Quite possibly the only good thing Joel Schumacher has ever done in his life.

Besides Batman Forever and Batman and Robin! ;)

[NightProwler]

D-FENS is one of my favorite anti-heroes. Poor guy just wanted to see his daughter on her
birthday,but the world was dead set against it. Man,his wife was a cunt,too.
I don't know about you fellas,but I thought that chick that worked at the "Whammy burger" was hot. I'm whippin' up a batch of "special sauce" just thinking about her.

Iron Maiden's "Man On The Edge" is about this movie.
And a good movie it is.

[Colonel Flagg]

Great movie. I saw it based solely on the tagline "I'm standing up for my RIGHTS .... as a consumer." which occurs right after he strafes the "Whammy Burger" with his semiautomatic.

[Nick]

Joel Schumacher is history's greatest monster!

[Fathom Zero]

This is in my top five. I could watch this over and over and over.

[The Fourth]

Now you're gonna die, wearing that stupid little hat. How does it feel?
That's definitely my favorite quote from the movie, and I cracked up after his whole rant leading up to that. It does get pretty serious further into the movie, and I found the backstory about his job in weapons interesting, actually. Also, I hated his wife, but the video at the end was kinda sobered me up.

[BoMToons]

gotta love military-issue glasses.

[autodidact]

I've heard those government issue specs referred to as 'bcgs', birth control glasses.

[thecatillaccat]

Wonderful movie, which is odd, considering it's a Schumacher vehicle. My favorite part was when the kid teaches him to fire the rocket launcher. Only in LA...

[Lombaszko]

Great movie! I always laugh when Robert Duvall climbs up the hill and yells to the store owner, "D-FENS!"
I also love the look Michael Douglas gives when he is asked if can read what the graffiti on the wall says. "Maybe if you wrote it in fucking English I could fucking read it." Then he gives this smile. That look reminds me of being in school and the one kid in class who wasn't afraid to talk back to the teacher. He's so proud of what he just said, he almost can't believe he said it. Classic!

[Fear N Loathing]

Great Movie that lets me 'live the fantasy' Lord know I don't know how many times I've dreamed of just whipping out a Magnum and ventilating some assholes head and making a rorshach with their brains... Sad tho how he became a "Bad Guy' and totally loses out in the end.

[Poxpower]

Yes, I have been looking for this movie for ever :O
I kept picturing that cover yet I could never find it in video stores and I didn't know the name.
Ultra-swell

[GRUMPYNZ]

Falling Down is a great movie!

[Ashmodai]

One of my favorite movies.

[Blev]

Joel Schumacher has in fact done two good things...Falling Down is one, D.C. Cab is the other. Schumacher is responsible for the whole of human misery, but I'll give him credit where it's due.

[El Sammo]

Finally! This flick gets the love it's always deserved!

[Kitsunexus]

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!

[MilesMayhem]

for everybody shitting on Joel Schumacher, i believe you're forgetting a little film called Flatliners

[Odium]

Yup - Flatliners is another flick I really enjoy. Didn't he also direct Tigerland? I thought that one was pretty good too.
