      Are there still nagging assholes walking around asking for money while coming up with a miriad of easily disproved stories about how they are not employed ? As a Ukranian I found that scene to be insanely funny. The guy is so see-through, so hard to believe such morons actually exist. Sure, we've got bums of our own over here, but not one of them is, I think, drugged-up enough to actually believe anyone will believe their bull.

    I think the fact that this film is pretty much shot entirely on-location is remarkable. Even up to using the actual buildings' interiors that are right there. No movie magic junk for the most part, shot directly on-location throughout LA like a long stroll. Makes it realistic and gives me vibes of old 1940s-50s era Italian neorealist cinema. This is an excellent video, man. Thanks so much for it.

    Surprising how man of the buildings have been torn down or completely altered in the last 30 years.

      @mjwbulich Год назад +9

      Three things as someone born, raised, and currently residing in Los Angeles.
      1) It's always changing here. The population is transitory with new people always coming and going. Old buildings and homes are torn down and newer ones are built in their place.
      2) The Los Angeles of the 1980s and early 90s (when this movie was made)was so much worse than it is today. Things were run down. Smog was awful. Crime was off the charts. Parts of 'Falling Down' were filmed in areas no sane person would set foot;gang ridden, crime infested,shitholes. Now those same neighborhoods are completely transformed.
      3) Don't think of those people as homeless. What the majority of them actually are is drug tourists. They migrate to Los Angeles because drugs are decriminalized here. Drugs are easily available, very high quality, and dirt cheap compared to most of the country. Throw in perfect weather and now it's a Mecca for every loser that wants to waste their life sticking a needle in their arm.

    a little side note. Falling Down had to wait several months to film in some locations due to the 1992 Rodney King riot.

    @TaldrenMGMoonGuard 3 года назад +7

    Thank you so much for making this video! "Falling Down" is one of my all time time favorite movies. I first saw it in 1993 when I was still in Army training for AIT (Advanced Individual Training) on movie night. Our company bought out an entire movie theater so it was just us for one night and we watched 2 movies for 4 hours and got to eat whatever junk food we wanted. The first movie was "Dennis the Menace" and I hated it. Sorry, I just didn't like it but it was the first time I seen a movie in months or had seen anything from the outside world because that's how military training is in the beginning for recruits. The second movie of that night was "Falling Down" and I absolutely loved it! Michael Douglas was AMAZING! I loved the idea that after the cold war ended that this dude down on his luck just snapped after getting laid off and did all the things we've all thought of doing to terrible and annoying people which was hilarious! The only thing that didn't sit well was the domestic violence part of this movie, however I am glad they included that because that's what happens when times get tough. We're seeing this again now because of the pandemic so this movie is so relatable even for younger audiences who weren't even born when it came out because of it. There is no shame in laughing at some of the things that D-FENS does. All of us have a dark side to ourselves and it's okay to laugh at it and it doesn't make you a bad person. What separates good and bad people is acting on those dark emotions which thankfully most of us don't.
    So if you never saw this movie, I highly recommend it. It's one of the best movies of all time!
    And thank you 80s Life for bringing us to all those places from the movie. I was a bit sad to see that some were gone. I'm from NJ and I had made a bunch of videos of a lot of the famous places from "The Sopranos" that I never uploaded to RUclips. I did it to share with my friends I played with on World of Warcraft who were also fans of the show back then and this was like early 2000's. These videos are a lot of fun to make. I should have uploaded them lol

I believe where D-Fens is approached by the gang members closer to Toluca Street then Edgeware. That's the street the Mexican gang member ran down after D-Fens threw the bat at him. That's the 100 block of north Toluca. He was running down Toluca towards 1300 block of west 1st Street.

    Hey hey! One of my favorite movies. Thanks for all of your hard work on these videos. I lived in San Fernando until I was 11 years old. I remember a lot of things about the valley. You always do a great job of bringing back good old memories. Thanks again. Looking forward to more.

    Awesome video, man! “Falling Down” is one of my favorite movies. As others have said in their comments, it’s a shame that Hollywood doesn’t make movies like this anymore. Now everything is CGI for the most part.

    I live a couple of blocks from Angelo's Burgers. The burger mural and the burger on top of the building were done strictly for the movie. The mural just wore away because they never bothered to touch it up. They use to have TVs in the booths that charged a quarter for a few minutes but were taking out years ago.
