Schrader tells an awesome story about how he begged Marty to not act in this scene because it wouldn't work. It was one of Schrader's favorite scenes he wrote. So he really wanted it to be good.

Personally, this was always my favorite scene in Taxi Driver. When I watched it for the first time, I had no idea it was Scorsese as the vengeful passenger. Not just a great director, but the man had some serious acting chops as well. That was a very underrated performance.

Men, Martin Scorsese is actually a talented actor who has barely acted in the past 5 decades of his directing career, he played this dude in Taxi Driver, he played Vincent Van Goh in Dreams of Akira Kurosawa, and i remember that he even did terrific voice acting in "Sharks tale". I wonder why he doesnt act too much when he is a very talented actor who underuses his own talent that much.

Coked out of his mind. Look at his eyes lol, my favorite director!

I guess in this scene even Travis got scared or horrified by the passenger. He literally seems like a Psychopath.

This is one of my favourite scenes in this movie; firstly it clearly demonstrates Scorsese's skill at acting even though he isn't a trained actor. However the script is very good, but what does it for me is the way Scorsese says to Travis "Now THAT you should see, what a .44 Magnum can do to a woman's pu%%y", it's not what he says, it's the way he delivers it by over-emphasising the word 'THAT'.

Knew this was Scorsese from day one of seeing this movie. Good scene. Love how he only showed the woman’s silhouette. Behind the curtain. But you can tell she was attractive.

Legend says that for this scene they just left the camera rolling between takes and let Scorsese do his thing

Marty rocked a great full beard back in the 70s. His usual big brows are right on show also.

I’m a movie that is shocking and jarring and fast-paced and gut-wrenching as Taxi Driver, this scene stops the show. Unbelievably brutal. And quiet. It’s just one man talking, almost whispering. Spectacular scene.
