They should do a new movie like this but modernized for the now times.
There are so many stupid things to lambaste now from Karen's to colleges to snowflakes.
The script could write itself.
I think it would have to set during a city-wide power outage or something, since mobile phones and CCTV cameras everywhere would have a big impact on how one man can go through a city doing stuff like that.
shareIt would need to be a completely different movie, but maybe kee[ the "follow the guy" concept. Maybe he is on his way to a shrink or divorce lawyer, but his car broke, the Uber snubs him and he has to walk, encountering all the whack jobs
shareOr just in a Black Lives Matter riot, when anyone can commit any crime they want.
shareThe phone/CCTV footage might add to the satire. As the guy goes from one situation to the next, different people document it and he becomes an internet sensation in seconds with different people debating on whether or not he’s doing what’s right.
shareI’d love to see people lose their shit if we got a faithful remake. The only movies I think came close to that were the Crank movies.
sharehahaha they couldn't make this movie NOW. shocked this version doesn't have trigger warnings all over it... then again, EVERY movie should have trigger warnings because people are offended by everything now.
shareThat's why I said "if" we could get a faithful remake.
shareWe couldn't even make a Crank movie now lol
shareI agree.
shareUnhinged.
shareExactly. He's basically the guy from Unhinged. A mediocre middle aged guy with anger issues who thinks the whole world owes him something.
I enjoyed the movie, but the amount of hero worship heaped on D-fens is kind of creepy!
Unhinged is nothing to do with this. Unhinged starts out with the character as a violent psychopath. FD hardly even gets there
shareI think hero worship is because of his setup. if you don't relate to it, he's just some insane person we follow around, doing bad things. if you do relate to him, as myself and millions of other generic guys do, you totally relate and see what happened.
"I'm the bad guy? How'd that happen? I did everything they told me to. Did you know I build missiles? I helped to protect America."
Not condoning his actual crimes - at first, it was self D-FENS - but the story itself is a tragedy about how society F's people over. most people can relate to that.

I fully agree, but it made for a good fictional adventure... who hasn't looked at the ads verses the real burger products and thought "shouldn't there be laws against false advertising?"
shareI had a friend who always order from the counter, not drive through, so he could unwrap his food right there, and if it didn't look like the picture he'd make them make it over. I'll admit, his food was always amazing the second time, but it was pretty embarrassing to be standing there while he grilled a teenager about his shitty looking taco.
shareDude there’s not a director who would touch this lol. Woke Karens and snowflakes are seen as a positive in Hollywood. It would have to come from outside Hollywood, with outside funding.
Best chance is Dailywire producing if they’re still getting into movies.
Joker is the closest you’ll get. But it doesn’t have the appeal of Falling Down, in that it happened to pretty much a regular guy with a regular job.
This would be great!!
Middle aged veteran works a blue collar job
Refuses to acknowledge workplace pronouns, keeps calling tranny coworkers he/him
Coworkers band together to get him fired for discrimination
He goes on social media to plead his case
ANTIFA doxxes him, ruins his life, media portrays him as the bad guy
Dude snaps, goes on a rampage
I would love that movie.👍🏻
shareIn that workplace scenario, he pretty much was the bad guy.
shareincel joker wannabe loses his cool during covid lockdown and begins shooting karens, chads, and any girl with buzzcuts and blue lipstick. there is a rant about society, cellphones, and why fedoras are cool every 5 minutes.
