Falling Down

When D-Fens shoots out the phone booth, a man in the background dives off of his bike twice.

Bill's hands on his wife's face.

In the burger bar, D-Fens holds a burger in a wrapper.

When he turns around to show it to the other customers the wrapper is missing.

When Bill's wife leads the lady police officer out of the house, she turns, closes, and maybe locks the gate to her front yard.

When Bill finally arrives, when his wife leaves the house from the back door, he runs through an open gate up to the front door.

In D-Fens' home videos, there is a close up of his wife's face while she is crying.

Her mascara is running, then not running (and not smeared).

At the drive-by shooting, the driver turns the wheel to the left to avoid crashing into another car, but the car turns to the right.

During opening scene the Steadicam operator is reflected in a car In the opening scene, the woman in the "Garfield" car putting on lipstick in the side-view mirror disappears for one shot.

In the first shot of the opening scene, if you look closely, you can see that the driver's side front door of Bill Foster's car was taken out in order for the camera to move freely out of the car.

In the opening scene, when the camera first pans onto the car with the Garfield doll, two big flat light-diffusers can be seen in the half-open rear window.

If you look even closer, the boom mic and some people are visible standing behind the diffusers.

Visible in Prendergast's car window reflection at the Koren's convenience store.

Artillery shell is still visible inside the rocket launcher immediately after being fired.

Prendergast's revolver clearly rotates to the empty chamber when he fires.

Products seen on lowest shelf during the fight between D-FENS and Mr.

Lee change from chips to cereal to maxi-pads and also change position.

When D-fens is on the gang's property fixing his shoe his socks are black.

Earlier in the film they can be seen to be white.

In the burger scene, after Bill shoots, an old man tries to escape.

At the beginning of the next scene, you can see the same actor, dressed differently, in another restaurant.

Both events are supposedly occurring simultaneously.

Bill buys a snow globe, and the vendor wraps it in newspapers for him.

Later, when the neo-Nazi takes it out of the bag, it is unwrapped After D-Fens fired his missile under the pavement, the cameraman's sneaker and part of his leg is visible as he starts running for his shot.

M-72 LAWs are unguided rockets, not heat seeking missiles like the neo-Nazi character implies.

This may have been an intentional mistake by the film-makers for that character.

When shooting the phone booth, the man watching as happens in front of his eyes is changing hands from inside his pockets (in the long shot) to waving them around (the closer shot).

There is no time between these shots to move his hands.

Just before the park scene when the people are getting on the crowded bus, you can see a black woman with shorts and a blue shirt all the way to the right get on the bus; you can see her in front of Bill as he tries to get on the bus, that is the top of her head as he gets bumped in the crowded line.

However, in the next scene she is dancing in the park with a headphone radio.

When Bill Foster (D-FENS) is walking up to the Korean store owner's food mart, his socks are white.

Throughout the rest of the movie, his socks are black.

Prior to firing the M-72, D-FENS does not pull the safety out, hence he should not have been able to fire the rocket.

Asking for Prendergast's signature the delivery man says, "put your John Doe right here".

A signature is often called a John Hancock, but never a John Doe, which is law-enforcement lingo for a male suspect whose name is not known.

The crack on Bill's right lens in the second half of the movie appears to vanish at some points but this is just a trick of the light - when Bill faces directly into the camera, because the frame is undamaged and holding the cracked lens firmly in place, the crack is very difficult to see but still just about visible if you look closely.

When Bill is at the Whammyburger and tells the employees to turn around and look at the picture of the burger on the menu board, the boom mic is clearly reflected in it.

When D-Fens is running on the pier and the aerial camera is following him, film trucks can be seen in the background before the camera pans towards him.

The first shot of the license plate reads "D-FENS" later when the Prendergast bumps the motorcycle the plate is "D FENS", the hyphen is not present.

In the opening shot, D-Fens is wearing his seat belt.

For the rest of the traffic jam sequence, his seat belt is off.

In the final confrontation scene on the pier, all the chambers of Prendergast's revolver are clearly empty while he is pointing it at D-FENS.

As the two gay men leave the Nazi's store, one of the tips over the sun glasses display, and yells "Facist!" However, neither one of the men's lips move.

In the Whammy Burger scene, after D-FENS holds the place up, he asks for his breakfast, and then he changes his mind and asks for lunch.

After he goes around the room talking to customers, Rick the manager has his order on the counter; a Whammy Burger, a shake, and fries.

D-FENS grabs the burger box and fries, but when he opens the burger box, the fries disappear.

In the opening scene some people think that Bill is trying to roll his window down when the crank mechanism stops working, making it impossible for the police officer to reach through the window to steer the car off the road when it's being pushed.

But Bill is not rolling the window down - he's trying to roll it UP to block out the sound of the outside world.

In later shots you can see that the window is about half open, making it possible for the police officer to reach through to steer the car.

Or have we all had days like this. I give it 5 stars for the relatability.

At first I didn't know what to expect from this film, but as i dived into the movie and the plot I was pretty impressed by the story. how a man in society becomes mad and starts a rampage over people just because of thier actions.

What a film! 9 is a really high rating for me, seriously, but this film deserves it.

Michael Douglass has already become unstable in the first scene he's in when he's sitting in his car, hands firmly on the wheel and looking very frustrated. His first moments of really snapping come in the first ten minutes of the film when he first, jumps out of his car in the middle of traffic jammed LA highway.

In "Falling Down" William "D-FENS" Foster (Michael Douglas) is a defence industry engineer who, after having been divorced and laid off from his job, is confronted by a series of situations which provoke him into outbursts of extreme violence. His increasingly irrational behaviour is the response of a man whose personal life has unravelled at the same time as he believes that changes in society have transformed L.

Domestic violence, guns, street gang intimidation, random killing, mental health indifference. Does making a movie of it help any?

Shot like a preschooler and written like an edgy teen trying to bank on "LOL RELATABLE." If I could give it a 0 I would.

I'm sure I'm not the only person who thinks this, but my favorite character in the movie is "Not Economically Viable Man." He's another version of the Michael Douglas character and they even dress the same---short-sleeve white shirt & tie.

What cannot be taken away from the film is pretentious plot psychologism, which is replete with acute social and a little political unrest and should flare up from the caricatured stupidity of most of the characters. William Foster, signed in the credits as D-Fens, does not carry the mystery that is usually laid in the main maniac characters.
