im from bournemouth in england an i just want to say this movie has been in my top ten for 20 years. quality not for the masses. great actors great movie.
Some of the movie was shot at the Chrysler plant in Detroit, the checker cab company is near me..Checker Motors, or Checker. They used to build those cabs in this fucking town but they shut most all of it down and lately in the paper it said GM stepped in to help it going completely under. It had Taxi cabs parked in the front windows before just recently they boarded up them too. This area is known for manufacturing but it aint. Also I would not work at that motherfucker even running full steam
I bought the DVD for $7.99 at my local video store.

Pryor is incendiary in this film. Pure genius from Paul Schrader.

I can't believe how much Yaphet Kotto did prior to 'Homicide'.
His performance here is priceless & the film is impressive.
