Falling Down (1993)

Edit this Page
Joel Schumacher Director previously directed Dying Young

Bill Foster is having a very bad day: He's been fired from his job, gets stuck in a traffic jam and is forced to walk through the sizzling L.A. streets. As the obstacles mount and his temper frays, Foster begins lashing out at society's injustices.

Trivia:

In an arguable case of art imitating life, the Rodney King riots occurred just as filming on this movie was starting to wrap-up.

Quote: Captain Yardley

I never liked you. You know why? You don't curse. I don't trust a man who doesn't curse. Not a "fuck" or a "shit" in all these years. Real men curse.
