Movie: Falling Down

The Whammy Burger scene is hilarious, and he has a point about how the food you get looks nothing like what's advertized on the picture.

It IS funny how a ten year old street punk had to show him how to use the missle launcher though 😀

Two Oscar winners star in this dark comedy by Joel Schumacher. It's a hot summer day in L.A., and Bill Foster (Michael Douglas) is having a very bad day. He's just been fired from his defense-industry ...

IMDB also lists it as being in the Comedy Genere
 
I :heart: Falling Down.

So many memorable scenes... the opening is classic: building tension of the traffic jam with all the noise, sweat, fly buzzing, &c. The guy wot played "Chef" in Apocalypse Now was awesome as the surplus store nut.

D-FENS!

Blasphemer!

It's not meant to be deep but it is a reflection upon American society at a particularly time (immediate post Cold War) and especially though not exclusively California, the military down-sizing and general disillusion &c.

Indeed, an argument could be made for Falling Down epitomizing that moment akin to MD's Wall Street.

Pedantic does not apply.
