Hi there! 
As the title says, I'm looking for an American movie shot in the 80s or maybe early 90s. The plot revolves around a guy who basically fights against all the injustice and absurdity of the modern world. Later on we learn that he's divorced, has a son, lives with his mother and had been fired for a month without anyone noticing (he goes out in his suit every morning, takes his suitcase, breakfast with him etc.).
At the beginning though we see him entering a store, which is being robbed. He overpowers the robber and steals his baseball bat.
Later he's ambushed by some trumps because he allegedly didn't heed a grafitti symbol denoting the frontiers of "their area" and he's made to open his suitcase. And so he does, an apple falls out and along with it the bat he stole earlier. He again overpowers the offenders and steals their guns in a sports bag.
Then he enters a snack bar and orders breakfast, which he is refused because it's 5 minutes past the last hour at which they serve breakfasts. After a row, the manager comes out of his office and confronts the main character, who takes a machine gun out of his sports bag. The gun accidentally fires off into the ceiling, which he attributes to the trigger being extra sensitive. Meanwhile customers start vomitting but he orders them not to leave the bar. He gets his breakfast burger, complains about how it looks like an old tire, then gets another one, pays for it and leaves. Later on the police officer interviewing the manager asks him, bemused, "He paid?"
Then there is a scene with road works, workmen sitting and doing nothing. He asks them something like, "So that's how you liquidate budget surplus? There's nothing to repair here? Well, now there's gonna be something to repair" and fires a bazooka into the sewers; the missile miraculously travels a few hundred feet and goes off at a far away spot.
I also remember the guy waiting for a lady to free a phone booth at last, gets into an altercation with her as well, she calls him selfish, starts a rant on him, he yanks her out of the booth, shoots at the telephone and says it's out of order now.
Then he finally meets his ex-wife and forcefully takes his child from her (don't remember that quite well).
The last scene shows him on a bridge, the cops surrounding him, he exchanges a few words with the cop neares him, says he has one more little gun, which turns out to be a plastic toy but the cop shoots him and he falls down into the river.
And I also remember the cops working out a clue that his car plate "D-FENS…something" should be read "defense" and I swear this tells them something but I don't remember what it is.
Anyone has any ideas? I've been looking for this movie for years…
