Nick the Neo-Nazi

"I'm with you. We're same, you and me. We're same, don't you see?"

- Nick, as he questions Bill Foster's actions

Nick (played by Frederic Forrest) is an Army surplus store owner and a minor character and antagonist of Falling Down (1993).

Though many of the people that William Foster came across are simply regular jerks, Nick is the one that can most certainly be considered a Villainous Jerk, and the only completely villainous person in the movie.

Nick is one of the many people that Foster came across. Foster stopped at his shop to buy himself a new pair of shoes. Nick talked to Foster whilst insulting a pair of gay men, causing the two to leave the store in anger.

Foster then saw a police car arriving at where he was, so he hides in one of the changing rooms. Detective Sandra Torres walked in and asked Nick that she was looking for a man in his late 40s, with a white shirt and tie and carrying a gym bag full of guns. Nick tells Torres that he didn't see a person matching the said description, all the while addressing her as "officer-ess".

Nick then shows Foster his private stash. This stash was of Nazi items such as a used canister of Zyklon-B, a gas which is used to kill the Jews in the Holocaust. Nick then offers Foster his rocket launcher, then congratulate him for shooting up the Whammy Burger restaurant, having heard about said incident via police scanner. Nick reveals his hatred towards black people thinking the employees were black, and assumes Foster shares his Neo-Nazi views. Foster however was sickened by Nick and his beliefs, and claimed he was sick. Angered, Nick pulled out a pistol and threatened Foster, he then searches his bag, he notices a snowglobe, then throws it away. Nick then attempts to handcuff Foster, but Foster stabs him with a hidden butterfly knife. Nick realizes that the knife isn't his, then stares at a nearby mirror. Foster proclaims to Nick about whether or not it's good to "exercise your rights", before shooting the latter with his own gun, killing him.
