Before Falling Down (1993), Michael Douglas planned to take a break after shooting 2 films back to back until Joel Schumacher told him to read the script, which Douglas liked the script so much that he even accepted a lower salary and still considers it his favorite performance.

Joel Schumacher on the surprising & frightening opening of the "Politically incorrect" 'Falling Down' (1993) & how it impacted American culture: "When we first showed it to an audience, the marketing people at Warner Bros, predicted we’d get sixty to a hundred walkouts because people would not tolerate that kind of politically incorrect tone in a him. No one left. They cheered. That was one of the most surprising, most frightening things for me. When Michael Douglas walked into that Korean grocery store and started beating this guy the audience cheered. When he took a baseball bat to the street gang they cheered. When he took out the gun in the Wham Burger, which is my favorite scene in the movie, there was pandemonium to create that kind of response. At the same time, that wasn’t the point of the movie. 'Falling Down' became a news story in itself. It was on the cover of Newsweek. Ebbe’s script had touched a nerve in the culture. There was a lot of ink in those days about the fading white middle-class American male, which is what the Newsweek cover story was about. They used Michael’s character in the film as an example of that. That’s some of what the movie was about also. There was endless debate, some of it pro and some of it con, about whether Michael Douglas’s character was the good guy or the bad guy. Not for one minute did Michael or I ever think he was the good guy. We always knew he was the bad guy. He’s a man who winds up on the end of a pier waving a loaded gun at his ex-wife and child." ("The Directors: Take Two", Robert J. Emery, 2002) P.S: On this day, 33 years ago, Joel Schumacher's "Falling Down" (1993) starring Michael Douglas & Robert Duvall was released in the USA.
