Falling Down (1993) | Vintage Cinema Review — No Late Fees, Just Breaking PointsDave, Matt, and Zap return to Vintage Cinema Review to discuss Joel Schumacher’s Falling Down (1993), starring Michael Douglas as William Foster and Robert Duvall as Sergeant Martin Prendergast. They cover the film’s release details, cast, box office, and production notes, including filming around the LA riots, then walk through Foster’s escalating day as he abandons his car in gridlock and spirals through confrontations at a Korean store, gang members, a fast-food restaurant, a phone booth, and a neo-Nazi army surplus shop while Prendergast pieces the incidents together. The hosts debate how relatable the frustrations feel today, highlight key scenes and quotes, share fun facts and casting “could-have-beens,” and agree the movie still holds up, ultimately giving it a “late fee” recommendation.
