Con🦅Air (1997) and Patrick S Tomlinson (1980).

An actual tough guy who can spoon feed you your own teeth. Hands are deadly objects. Unemployed. He gets into a bar fight with drunks, easily dispatching them. Is punished by a judge who did not listen and did not understand what did and did not occur. Pregnant wife raises his child without him.

Spends about a decade not seeing his daughter. Flies all around the place at the government's expense. Hangs around rapists, pedophiles, a tranny, and other assorted violent mental cases. Runs a lot. Hairline hasn't moved in 20 years.

Police can't keep up with him despite his efforts to inform them of dangerous criminals. Police completely underestimate the danger. Protects a black man by getting an injection. Stops a rape of a WOC.

Has an older vehicle. Goes to Vegas, parks it in front of the casino awkwardly. Destroys a Corvette with his vehicle.

Rides a motorcycle with skill and enthusiasm. Neutralizes his criminal mortal enemy, who pretends to be a police officer, while delivering heroic one-liner.

Gives a single soft-toy to his daughter with the expectation it would mean something to her. He's a virtual stranger and clearly dangerous to her.

Also, Steve Buscemi looks like a young Niki except probably more attractive.
