Wrong, this is the problem with society. The construction worker said: "He is nuts!" as soon as there were immediate consequences for his actions. His actions meaning stalling a population of civilians trying to get on with their day for NOTHING. That is one construction company, one man, and it costs the population significant TIME. Imagine millions of companies and systems doing this stuff, is it any wonder people are the way they are!? Now, imagine this corruption on all levels of society. It is built in such a way to force your compliance, or render you "nuts". It is just a reaction to the extreme society we live in. Oh, so as soon as someone reacts, we are nuts? Get the hell out of here, you bunch of scared paranoid mortals. Death is what awaits you, and you stand compliant in a world that robs you of everything that is to be cherished about life, hypocritical ignorant fools calling other "insane" when they are a waste of their own oxygen.

It's not their responsibility and if they don't want to do the job their bosses demand, then they will be homeless and out of work. I think it was stupid for him to blame these workers rather than the real crooks which are state governments doing these projects for budget reasons.

Is anybody going to honestly say they haven't felt what Douglas portrays? How many people want to do what he portrays because of the mass stupidity and cultural wasteland that seems to be invading America? We are seeing people like him starting to crop up in every city, town, even homes. Such a visionary movie of the sad future that awaits America at the rate it is going, a true "Falling Down".

After you’ve popped the front cap open, extended the tube, and taken aim, you pull the handle about 2” to the rear and release it. That’s the last stage in arming the weapon 😎. Don’t forget to do the most important thing - have fun! 🤩 It’s the American Way 🇺🇸!

[@airdriver]

Funny, This was made back in the early 1990's. back then the road workers worked directly for the government and everyone was asking the same question DFense was asking here. "What's wrong with the street?" And then everyone was saying,"You're tearing up the street in order to justify your budget." Sooo now all this work has been privatized so the taxpayers wouldn't be burdened with the cost of paying civil service wages to these "lazy" roadworkers doing "useless" work. We have construction contractors(private construction companies) doing the roadwork with lousy designs, shoddy workmanship and 2nd rate building materials. The reason being so they can keep rebuilding the same stretch of road again and again and keep sucking off the taxpayer's tit year after year. They also "bribe" the government inspectors with lucrative jobs for "Team Players" once those inspectors reach their 20th year of government service and are eligible for retirement and a pension. And our infrastructure(Roads, bridges, sewers, water) is collapsing around us and the contractors are getting rich.. Dfense was an ignorant asshole. The old way was better. the work they were doing back then was called "PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE.

[@ulikemykungfu3995]

Could have done it at night.

[@Tee-Dot-Tv]

Interesting. I live in the UK, in London, and don't get disturbed too often by road works, or any work to do with construction. Since a city is like a body, if one thing vital "doesn't work" it's a ricochet effect, causing problems in many things. The roads without a doubt are one of, if not the, most important piece to a city, they're like blood vessels in the body. When one main vein is ruptured a whole limb can be decommissioned, so when one main road is out of service many vital tax paying places of commerce are affected, meaning the government won't get their money because the road isn't done, meaning the contractors won't get their money. Doing it half hearted from shabby materials, I can understand (I'm not saying its right, but I do get their point) the contractors don't want to build a road that will last 1000s of years like Roman roads, where they build it once and that's it, they want to keep the money coming in so they take their time, and just slap together some shit that they know they'll come back to in 5-10 years. It's a shame though, in London this city is good, the rest of the UK is questionable.

[@My-Name-Isnt-Important]

Each State has their own Department of Transportation, which handles everything having to do with roads, bridges and highways, especially with designing the roads and highway systems. Small States or States that don't have a lot of funds, typically use private contracting firms, since they can not manage or pay for their own construction workers. Private contracting firms actually save taxpayers money, due to them having deadlines they must meet, and requirements for them to keep their contract. Government workers do not have these same standards, deadlines, and requirements a private company must meet, so their work is sloppily done and not carried out in a timely manner. Preventive maintenance has always done, even today, but the Federal Government has not been, due to a whole host of reasons, been funding at the same levels as it once did. Mainly due to government waste and mismanagement. The money for infrastructure has mainly been redirected to pointless endeavors that don't actually help anyone, and are a waste of time. Especially the recent "infrastructure bill" supported by the Biden administration, it actually doesn't help deal with the many infrastructure issues that have cropped up since the mid 90s, and were compounded in the early 2010's.

@@My-Name-Isnt-Important it's time! It's so obvious but I didn't see it, thank you young sir.

The minions are often part of the racket, too: either they can't be bothered to stand up to their bosses wasting taxpayers' money, or they don't have the moral courage to do so. It's one of the weaknesses of the public sector, contributing to waste and inefficiency.

​@jamesbussey2911👌👌👌👏👏👏

[@chuckselvage3157]

Hell of a right hand he's got as well. Knocked the guy out cold.😂

[@DavidKalnbach-vm3xc]

love🥰the way the 12 year-old is already proficient in heavy weaponry...back when they taught 'useful knowledge' in public school...😆

[@gigitulip7935]

“But aim first man” *shoots* ok that scared me lmao 😂

[@ryanh.739]

Even though he was crazy.. he still didn't hurt the kid. 💯

[@callthebigman]

he wasn't crazy, he was just realising society is shit.

[@jwzero]

That kid will grow to be Carl Johnson from Grove Street

[@pantera29palms]

Never forget: This movie come out in the mid 90’s. 👍

[@simonreeves828]

3:15 Michael Douglas's look down 😂✅👌👌

[@Charlimarteli]

Ive always seen this movie as a comedy...i can relate to his frustration and have felt like him many many times...like im on a razors edge and anything can just set me off😊

[@bob-p7x6j]

He actually becomes a villain, but a villain that so many can relate to, like another commenter has said, like a Walter White...

[@renderuntocaesarwhatiscaes2300]

My favorite scene from the movie because of the little kid and Micheal’s interaction. Shooting a action movie lol..

[@socialtraffichq5067]

Oh my god I used to have that yellow datsun b210 in the background

[@6catalina0]

If this movie was made in the last ten years, all of the construction workers would be Latinos that don’t speak English, only Spanish.

[@benjibanks7894]

If you think about it he's really not a bad guy he's just fed up with most of humanity and how people treat others.

[@bryansanchez8448]

His face drops the second he sees the gun.

[@traploli2214]

I mean he is kinda right. Every person who’s just treating any average citizens like crap bc it’s just so normalized amongst us can trigger even the nicest of ppl into doing horrible acts.

[@SKG1941]

The last time I went to Myrtle Beach. The road crew had well over 12 vehicles plus several earthmovers and it was 11:40. I made a note of that with my friend because only one person was doing anything. 15+ so-called workers were leaning on their trucks And I said to her what the heck is going on. She said they’re on their lunch break. I said lunch does not start till 12 o’clock as far as I know. You get the drift. One guy in the hole one guy on the backhoe,everyone else shuffling plans around on the hood of their trucks. Amazing.

[@x_d3bug_x]

those kids must have the anarchist cookbook. Schooled him lol

[@Hengahangezange]

2:12 If this movie was made today, that kid would have said he plays COD.

[@matthewpaul6904]

It's great because something so ridiculous is happening in a movie, the characters don't think it's real.

[@briansukhu4392]

what movie are you making?

[@matthewharris5232]

I always found it comical how the kid taught him how to use that rocket launcher.

[@shanebell2514]

It IS Los Angeles LOL.

[@valerykolganov9565]

Some nice humor in the movie with the sad end.

[@BiseUshery]

Майкл Дуглас шикарный актёр. Джоэл Шумахер отличный режиссёр. Этот боевик С меня хватит! (1993) - это конечно шедевр социальной сатиры про американский городской капитализм, на все времена 👍👍👍

[@nickycotton6137]

Masterpiece ❤️

[@Quantom1314]

Under construction. Love this...

[@castolano]

The little kid also played in Boys in the hood he said “ my daddy from Crenshaw mafia “

[@oliverl.9004]

That scene where he walks with the music is so badass

[@aigr6821]

Movie is ahead of its time

[@erikcox8749]

Strangely I was 15 years old when this came out, I saw it and related to his character for some reason, non vengeance but his frustration with political corruption and just frustration with life, now 43 I really understand but definitely not blowing people up or killing others which many do we see it everyday, and a lot of them are feeling like Michael's character. Recent subway shooter, why did he do that? Idk maybe horrible things were happening to him in his life and every corner he never was shown any compassion. Not at all justifying his actions but my point is, I was 15 this was a problem way before that, I'm 43 speaking on a recent incident, if nothing changes nothing changes. Show compassion whenever you can. ✌️💙

[@CarmelitanoScalzo]

Perfect movie

[@solarplexus4003]

Inflated Budgets - so typical.

[@solarplexus4003]

+Jan Folke Rørvik In the army we had to GO shooting range full auto towards the end of the year to make sure we got all the amo we "needed" for NeXT years, through the Budgets.

[@DeepEye1994]

I love this movie, but this scene was genuinely "...really?" inducing. I mean, come on, the random kid giving the instructions, the way the rocket flew underground even though it was tilted so it shouldn've hit end exploded in front of them. It just got goofy and unrealistic.

[@ButteredToast32]

It's a movie.

[@MattachineFGC]

He should have said "You're toast".

[@ButteredToast32]

mattachine Touche.

[@DeepEye1994]

Buttered Toast Let me put it this way: this was a realistic movie but the rocket flying like that like took me out because it didn't fit. Imagine if something like The Elephant Man or another down-to-eath movie suddenly had a scene with cartoon physics.

[@technusknight5074]

do u know how much cod that kid plays???

[@FPInvention]

Back in the 90's where you can stand around with a bazooka and no cops will come

[@Pikkabuu]

You can still see that the safety is on.....
