What the hell are you talking about?

You guys all need to look into Paul Schrader's work. All of the movies he's done have been just as deep and intense as taxi driver: Light Sleeper, Mishima, Hardcore, American Gigolo, Affliction even Cat People. The man is SUPER underrated. He also wrote Raging Bull, Bringing Out the Dead and Last Temptation for scorsese.

Somebody ought to ask this ungrateful deadbeat when he's gonna pay his debts.

All you may think you know about this film is nothing but pure bullshit. This film was commissioned by the late pederast director Stanley Kubrick as a means to defame the true character of the person who made national headlines by actually accomplishing the rescue which serves as the one redeeming value of this sensationalist film. In return for stealing the wind out of the actual taxi driver's sails these three rats then put a mafia hit on him which although proved near fatal failed miserably.

@freezazoid yea he had, but he's referring to when he tried to get involved with the project around 1971/ 72 as it had been written then. Julia phillips never took him that seriously until he had success with mean streets, then Paul Shrader wanted him and Deniro as a team who had success with the godfather part 2.
