Lol

There's a Richard Bachman (Stephen King) short story that came out before this movie that I think inspired that's called 'Road Work'.

Now that is the best comment I've read in a while, probably because I don't read alot of 'em, but I read this one :P

thanks for the laugh..lol

Careful what you wish for. It way yet be made starring Steven Segal!

It's kinda cute I think(in a wierd way) hahaha, if this were modern times he'd just know it from videogames or KZfaq videos.

Cool man...

He made the only one friend in the entire movie

@EL STINK haha

There's something even more magical about a grown man asking a little black kid how to use a rocket launcher given to him by a Nazi enthusiast who thought he hit up a restaurant full of black people.

They have taken 2 years for like 300 meters.

To be fair they normally fixing potholes or painting new lines so just because its fine do not mean they do nothing its just they do nothing after its done so they can charge more hours for more money.

its canned felony theft

They used to tear up roads around elections where I lived. I guess they thought it would make people support more bonds to fix the streets... Just pissed everyone off.

Exactly I totally agree. See it all the time

hey hank, how's the fight against the aahw going

Or as we call it in Latin America: A Day of Fury. Go figure.

"whats the name of the movie?" "Falling Down, 1993, starring Michael Douglas, you like it?

Ben Gonzales I find it both hilarious and kinda disturbing that the kid not only knows how to work a bazooka but is so casual about it 😂

I agree !!! . My favorite line toooo!! And this will be me now, rather sooner than later!!! I keep saying that for the last 10 years - but now it’s really time!!!! 👺☠️💀👹👿🤮😵🤬🤯😭😖😫😒☹️😒😖🙄

Monster? We're sick of the BS so that makes us human.....

@@russellmcgurn4217 I guess I read that as the personification of one of these facets of humanity. This is what happens when you strip away the control, empathy, higher thinking or, if your Freudian, only the id. Hopefully, "sick of the BS" isn't what defines us.

I have no mouth and I must scream.

You took the words right out of my mouth. This is one of my all-time favorite Mike Douglas films. This film is cathartic.

but they were making a film

Yet he could've been responsible for that child now becoming an unknowing accessory to murder. For all we know, witnesses told police about that boy later on and said he showed him how to shoot. For a kids defense to say he thought it was a movie being shot might not hold up in court if the witness didn't hear the full conversation

Well said

This scene is symbolic about the relationship between societies old and young. Its about the corruption of youth and the desensitization and glorification of violence and how it blurs the lines between whats real and whats not real.

Its a movie mate, you're reading too much into it.

Well spotted. Not a lot of viewers seem to pick up on that...

@@PeteTheGrouch you right. Good call

He pulls out a gun right before he approaches his daughter- about to do a murder/suicide. He’s a sympathetic villain, but still a villain.

@@michaelb9537 Yet he puts his gun down every time he talks to his daughter.

He wasn't a good man. He was a violent psychopath who abused his wife and kid. If you actually watch the movie you will realize that Michael Douglas' character created his own problems.

Dr. Psychedelic the worst is when something like this makes me late for work. Then, I’m losing money from my paycheck which includes deductions that pay for the road construction that made me late in the first place. We’re all getting screwed!

Alamo James If there was an epidemic of road workers getting ran over all over the country, maybe this shit would stop lol

Precision penaltyshot Or just run them over until it’s more costly for them to do it than not do it.

Precision penaltyshot More of a joke, but if there was some strange epidemic where people were just running them over, I don’t think they’d be out there tearing up the roads like they are now. But honestly it’s insane to pay taxes for a road just for it to get torn up and put back down and repeated. It doesn’t take over a decade to fix a god damn city block.

@Precision penaltyshot People have anger issues big time in the comments section. They PP Smol. They dont have big PP like man with gun they got smol PP. Give me big PP

I can attest to the truth re budgets. If you don't spend it now, you'll get less next go round. Idiocy.

Same in both public sector, and large private sector companies smh

School districts too , which it's the biggest percentage of your property taxes.

Thing is…. They could actually spend it doing some good. Actual, useful modernization that improves people’s lives. However, if they did that.., there’d be nothing for them to do next year or the year after. And THAT would dry up their budget.

Right on 😊 in fact all the scenes you can relate to being 100% dead on if you think about them.

Maybe they lying

The best kind of actors are method actors. Keith Ledger was a method actor and he was the best actor to ever portray the Joker.

I'm a just and sane World he would of.

@@vitalityfox Keith Ledger played the Joker? And I always thought it was his brother, Heath. Boy, am I dumb.

@@vitalityfox Who the heck is Keith Ledger?

Tell you he is human enough but has cracked because all the bullshit going on around him

@@seventhuser904 to make him look not racist. That's why

@@serendipityculture1679 This is like a 30+ year old movie, just shutup and stop seeing race in everything.

@@serendipityculture1679 He took that bazooka from a literal neonazi after condemning his ideology. He was never racist.

@@serendipityculture1679 niggah

Too bad there is no budget for that since all the money has been spent to fix the street 😅

No it isn't

Billy Red Yes it is.

Why is this film under rated? The film was popular and highly rated by critics when it first came out, it has a 7.6 rating on IMDB, %72 on Rotten Tomatos and to this day has a massive cult following. I don't think people know what the word 'Under rated' or 'Over rated' means.

Billy Red Well, it's not hugely famous, and it ought to be. I know exactly how he feels, never before have I seen that feeling so well illustrated.

Lol, It was hugely famous when it came out and to this day is still a well known movie despite the fact that it is almost two decades old. Pretty much everyone has seen this movie and I've never met anyone who didn't like this film. It was a great movie at the time and it still holds up great to this day, definitely not under rated at all. Hell, I'd have a better time understanding if you said that this film is over rated (Even tho it sure as hell isn't). Sorry, it's just a pet peeve of mine. Seems like everything nowadays is either over rated or under rated.

Arya Putra lol he probably just got off balance, i never learned to probably squat until i was 14

They missed the perfect opportunity to have him say “Falling down”

No, you don‘t.

Ain't that the truth.

Do you also pull out a handgun and hold it while greeting your daughter before a murder/suicide is prevented by being shot?

Life, and the people in your life just make you crazy😜🤯

@@bobbov8277 yes I’m certain when the dad heading to his daughters birthday with a bazooka in hand, only stops to pick up a snow globe for her when he’s almost there as an afterthought, then greets his little girl saying hello darling with pistol in hand you at 13 were thinking “I relate to this man who’s about to murder his wife and daughter”. You’re the one who gets it. I’m sure you still do. ...

Don't think this movie looks like "today's reality." The movie delves into the psyche of a man having a complete meltdown. Almost everything in it is shown from his warped perspective. The only redeeming thing* about "d-fens" is when he calls the guy at the army surplus store a "sick, sick asshole." He was totally right about that, and in today's reality, that type of "sick, sick asshole" is all over the Internet. So, maybe that part of the movie was prophetic. (* I guess the other redeeming thing about "d-fens" is that he is trying to get a birthday gift to his daughter.)

@@MkeKen67 Good day Ken. I had the priviledge to live in a ghetto and the behaviour of "meltdown" was over the place. I believe that nothing has changed since (before 25 years), except that today the people shout you without to directly get ungry at you -which I consider a cultural decadence. In very developed societies (USA is not a developed society), I would have agreed with you, but then again, I live in Switzerland, and I can walk at night without fear of losing anything.

@@christopherneufelt8971 - Well, "meltdown" is a not-so-specific term I was using to describe what d-fens individually is going through. I highly doubt that even in a "ghetto," melting down is a constant thing for much of the population. Sure, there's violent action and reaction, like with revenge killings and what-not, but not necessarily a lone individual going out and attacking everything he sees wrong with "contemporary society." The character, d-fens, is not living in a ghetto, at any rate, but, rather, Joel Schumacher's amped up version of L.A. at a certain time in its history. All of the tension is heightened on purpose to try to put us inside d-fens's head, which is a rather unsettling place to be. I would say it's meant to be more metaphor than reality, kind of like the atmosphere created in Natural Born Killers.

@@MkeKen67 Of course a leftist only thinks a blatant nazi is real and everything else is fake. You don't live in reality. If you did you wouldn't be a leftist.

Too true

Captain Hook THEY just keep VOTING left handed trash in to office time after time and it keeps going down hill.

Correction: Sounds like America.

“What are you, nuts?!”

This movie is telling the truth about government budgets. I worked for the school board and they wasted money 💰 like crazy in order to justify the next years budget. Of course, they didn’t spend it on us workers. We were stuck with a pay freeze for Five years! Figures, doesn’t it? We should have went on strike but our Union was weak and worthless!

+HighSpeedNoDrag Yes, even better than Wall Street..He deserved another Oscar for this movie..

Absolutely

Yes. He has something many, many actors today don't have - talent and versatility. He was a producer first, 'one flew over the cuckoos nest' was his project.

Actually, even with his Oscar, I still feel like Douglas is underrated as an actor. I just think the timing of him winning worked out, but some of his best performances came AFTER he won Best Actor, like in this film Falling Down, The Game, The Wonder Boys, and Traffic.

drlee2 Years ago while in my mid 30s the whole family (i.e. parents, brother sister) went to the movies to see Fatal Attraction. Well the Industrial Loft Elevator scene caught me off guard and sitting between my parents made me uncomfortable to the hilt. Yet it was another masterful performance with Glenn Close and Douglas to say the least.

It only becomes more relatable as time goes by.

Government and economics too

Well I gueeessss so

Where I live there’s always “road construction” going on. I use air quotes because half the time there’s fuck all going on just all but one lane blocked off

@@skwisgarskwigelf7191 in vienna theres a construction going on for idk maybe 10 years , the whole road , about 400m is not passable with any vehicle , its such a pain in the ass to even find a parking space

Sometime it looks ok but when you drive, some roads are bumpy or sometime it tilts to the right making your car not moving straight. They always try to balance it so they repair it.

We're fixing it what the HELL does it look like!!!!

@Azrael yeah but kids weren't using virtual versions of them all the time every day until recently. duh.

Just wanna say that I misread azrael's comment. I thought he said "rocket launchers have been around for a long time." duh @me

Automatic 3 stars

@Azrael Not in 93, idiot.

@Azrael Doom was released in '93, that's pretty much the first FPS rocket launcher in a video game.

The title?

And he did. I think we have a tagline for "Under Construction".

Damn right!

Kedbuka Yuppp, Lmao it was lights out for that dude

Yeah, he took that lick to the face like a champ.

Most things he does in this movie, i had dreamed about doing myself. Apart from killing someone of course.

You'd get 20 years for that now. It'd be a hate crime

@@baburao87 or going toe 2 toe watergun vs policeman.

Same with my town, it's pathetic

At least in CA, they are determined to work on these projects during the day time at rush hour.

I wish Philadelphia had that problem. Potholes everywhere.

75lexluther hey you can

'cause it's part of the making-of. It's on "Director's cut" DVD edition of "Under Construction". Lot of bonus there.

Especially as this was made so soon after Desert Storm, when Western news was broadcasting clips of high tech weaponry all the time.

Agreed!

Even i rocked back in my armchair .

haha yeah. That guy deserved it too

That guy deserves an Oscar. So angry lol

true, having an unconscious person in a car in that gridlock though was not going to help things, thankfully it turns out it does not matter.

+jzep789 I here ya...ready to go hulk on that sh*t everyday.

+jzep789 Then you may be psychotic...

+jzep789 you could try that on my site but your car would likely get crushed by an excavator

MASTER BLASTER OO6 Lol. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if somebody actually rolled onto your site with a bazooka you wouldn't do a damn thing.

don't kid yourself a bazooka needs to be setup then aimed and finally fired, but my quick moves with a 3 ton excavator bucket can crush a car in seconds and it swings at you from out of knowhere in seconds if you put my men in danger you will be stopped safely

That was the final straw.

+hardstyle905 No, that part was ridiculous. I mean if they have some breakfast left over he can have it, but they're now on the lunch menu and can't go back.

Yes but they will lock us up with assholes and take all our stuff do we drudge on

@G E T R E K T 905 just think how God feels....he has to watch 8 billion of us fucking up at once

no

u just dont get it i ment that in positive way

john hoskins I hate society too, to a degree, but I don't put my problems on the "libcucks" or vote for shit fucks to fix all my issues. Reality is never that simple.

john hoskins See, you do that because you're not intelligent. Call people names and blame them and undermine those who do not agree with you. Can't argue with idiots, I guess. They put you down to their level, and then beat you with their experience! That's not my quote, by the way.

Well, what about the part where your mom got out the bazooka? Don't leave us hanging.

You hopefully mean like that kiddo, right?

@@manoman0 carry on

I dare not, sir! I dare not!

Then we’d be in an apocalyptic wasteland ruled by individual gangs and fiefdoms, an anarchist state.

Christopher Bostic well yeah but he got them from the gangbangers.

@Notorious MCV it does when they are stolen and you are murdering people with them

@Notorious MCV Most people walking around with a duffel bag full of guns aren't quite right in the head.

The screenwriter has a cameo as the guy who helps the cop push Douglas's Chevette off the freeway.

You are absolutely correct. And it's getting way worse every day.

Nothing...nothing is wrong with the street 😥

Don't mess with D-Fens.

Oh god run

@@konigeurichderwestgoten4460 I'll give it to this one. Although batman forever is one of my favorite movies and I love the client too. 8mm is pretty fucking good too. Schumacher has made some hits. I didn't realize. I had to look em up lol

well I guess this would happen to anybody without weaponry training. I don't know for shit what to do with a gun either. I am pretty afraid of the thought standing around with lethal thing in my hand

***** It's only lethal if you let it be.

***** They're definitely dangerous, but you pretty much have to have intent to pull the trigger.

it is not a bazooka it is a recoiless one shot rocket launcher, a bazooka takes two men to handle and can be realoaded.

He staal ma basebaa bat

Lol he does.

I thought that too.

Its like him and Douglas' characters fused and Dale was born.

Lol

Yes he does look like me!

LOL

Ozkurl He wasn't going to kill his wife and child at all, you moron

Couldn't agree more Deborah, the wife and kid thing are part of the plot but the message of the film is just as relevant and significant as it was when the film was made, maybe even more.

I dunno he's a pretty huge dick in this movie, threatens a lot of innocent people

The wife is probably a trifling bitch and we just don't know it.

He was just threatening the douchebags. All justified. The only person he actually killed was the Nazi.

hero, coward

He have a daughter so of course he gonna instinctively shield this kid

i think the implication is there was actually something wrong with the street
