It's a somewhat old looking movie, looked like it was dated sometime in the 80s, and I was shown clips of it at a convention this weekend. The movie is about this homicidal guy working as a waiter when he kills a guy with an umbrella. He also kills one guy with a jumper cable hooked to the guy's car battery, his girlfriend with a car antenna (both kills in the same scene), and blew up a car by shooting the engine (sounds a little like a Charleton Heston movie). One notable scene is when he is confronted with cops sometime after he shoots a guy who was simply taking out the trash, and points the gun to his own head, but finds that he's was out of ammo. You hear him laughing before the movie cuts to him being in this psychiatric place a couple minutes before he kills the therapist. I'm afraid I can't tell you more than that.
Can anyone help me with the title of this film?

Sounds like the old version of Hitcher but I may be wrong. Or it could be one of the hannibal lector movies.

It sounds a little like Unleashed but that's a newer movie and I don't remember a waiter. It's sure sounds familiar though.
Try posting on IMDB.COM I usually get my movie questions answered there within 24 hours sometimes 24 mins.
Good luck

Maybe The Ugly? It's been a long time since I watched it..
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120401/plotsummary (not much to go by on here.. )
http://movies.aol.com/movie/the-ugly/5682/synopsis
that one is a bit better..
This movie was made in 97, and released on 98, but it seriously looks and feels 80's.. And the order of the kills was off.. because most of it is in flash backs.. and he didn't always go in order. but I know he talks about killing the girlfriend not long before the therapist.. (the last is the only one that isn't a flashback)
Edited because I had the name slightly off.. and to add stuff..
