Falling Down

Movie • 1993 • Crime  

Report
On the day of his daughter's birthday, William "D-Fens" Foster is trying to get to the home of his estranged ex-wife to see his daughter. His car breaks down, so he leaves his car in a traffic jam in Los Angeles and decides to walk. He goes to a convenience store and tries to get some change for a phone call, but the Korean owner does not oblige, tipping Foster over the edge. The unstable Foster, so frustrated with the various flaws he sees in society, begins to psychotically and violently lash out against them.

In the opening scene there's a fly buzzing around in Bill's car. There's a shot of it crawling up his neck but nothing too close up

Sort of. (Spoiler) in the end Bill is shot by Pendergast and falls off a pier into the water.

From the clip, it looks like she just spits it out. However, I saw a comment on the clip that someone said:

"she's listed in the credits as "lady who vomited"

To me it's not triggering, but yes she does.

Ultimately I'd say yes, as Prendergast is portrayed as "one of the good cops", even though he technically doesn't do anything unlawful.

A car crash happens shortly after the main character is targeted by its occupants in a drive-by shooting, where the vehicle with the attackers swerves into traffic before crashing into a parked car. The crash itself is offscreen but is audible. The driver and passengers are injured and at least one is implied to have died.
