While not necessarily realistic in most circumstances (as my understanding is generally whoever draws first wins a gunfight), I've developed an appreciation for shootouts where both the good guy and the bad guy are able to get shots off (even if it's just one per person ;), and it seems to me older movies are better about this than new ones (especially R-rated ones). I'd be interested in seeing more shootouts like that, if anyone wants to link me.

What planet are we on where the laws of physics work in suc mysterious ways. But coming back to this film. If Travis who is an ex-marine how come he doesn't shoot the pimp properly only blows his fingers off a real marine would have shot him dead especially with a Magnum pistol. Travis couldn't have been much cop as a marine. A real marine would have shot them with ease not the clumsy way travis did it.

The acting here is incredible. The dialogue may seem stilted and awkward but that only makes it more realistic, as of course thats how people act in real life. Also, the fact that the man whose hand was blown off just stood there staring at Travis shooting the pimp, in complete shock of whats happened is absolutely true to reality. He was stunned and was in disbelief of what had happened, and only another gunshot snapped him out of it. This scene is an example of exact realism.

This is one of the most accurate Gunfights I have ever seen in a movie. It’s dirty, brutal, hectic, and not so quick over as Hollywood so often portrayed. It is not seldom, that a gunman gets hit several times, ends the fight, walks away and die in the car or when he leaves the car and walks or later in bed.

I find it fascinating that before Travis killed the old man (Iris timekeeper) she yelled don't kill him. These were the closest people she had to parental figures. The old man was probably nurturing to her in some way in the off hours. But in reality the men in Iris's world were all pedophiles. But a 12 year old isn't going to understand that. Travis did and he stuck his neck out for her...and it got shot.

It absolutely blows my mind that this movie was made 40 years ago... and it will be 41 years old on February 8th! And this movie contained one of the best and most graphically realistic shootouts that still holds up today. And for people who were born much later or haven't seen this film, you have take something into consideration. If you showed a person used to only modern movies this scene, they would probably laugh and say the sound effects were kind of corny and they have seen much worse in terms of violence. But this was 41 years ago... Audiences at that time had never seen a shootout this realistic and bloody! If I could transport you back in time to when this movie came out and wipe all your knowledge of movies, your mouth would be hanging open in disbelief from this scene. With movies like this, you have to take the release date into context with the quality of the film because in 1976, this type of graphic and realistic shootout was unheard of! The moment where the guy gets his fingers blown off by the .44 was probably the most gory and violent thing anyone had seen at that point. We have all sorts of movies like 300, Saw, Hostel, any Quentin Tarantino movie, etc that have desensitized us to this. Audiences at that time must have been absolutely horrified by this shootout!

Victor M Tarantino is one of my favorite directors, but I just rewatched Taxi Driver last night for the first time in a while, and I forgot how violent this scene really is...it's on a different level than anything Tarantino has done. I thought the violence in Django and The Hateful Eight was pretty lame. It's over the top and cartoony like this dude said...which wasn't the case with other Tarantino films. He's trying too hard these days. The Hateful Eight is basically the basement scene from Inglorious Basterds stretched into a 3 hour movie, and it just doesn't work.

De Niro not only has incredible talent and dedication, but knew how to choose his movies well. Incredible lifelong resume of groundbreaking movies and performances.

The sound of the .44 with the exploding hand is the most accurate sound of a .44 Ive heard on film. Everything else in virtually every movie by comparison has sounded like a 9mm or .38

Legend of a film. Watch it for yourself, and tell me how you would even start this review. Seriously an iconic movie, with a top-tier cast, soundtrack, and storyline. Saw this in the summer, and damn what a highlight. It's worth watching. And this will always remain legendary, just like Robert De Niro. So much action, emotion, and darkness. An extremely underrated film, that does not get its credit in modern times. 8.20.2020

That shot of Travis backing up the stairs is terrifying. When he turns to the side and you see him for what he is - a wiry, small man with a coat two sizes too big and a stunned look in his eye. Then, you see what he’s become in the moment. He moves robotically, a killing machine blinded by hatred and a need for vengeance. The grim reaper, who looks deathly himself.

Travis easily puts Rambo to shame. He doesn't need a rifle or machine gun, just a low caliber pocket pistol and he can make it work

I love the part when he says "You got a Gun?" it's just so funny and beautiful

Travis Bickle is the prime example of a 70s movie legend👍👍👍

Me when I question the minions where they were between 1939-1945

This movie is the epitome of great cinema.

I've watched tons of movies before but this shootout scene feels really heavy, it makes us (audience) feel like we were actually spectating them inside the dark claustrophobic walls

This scene is without a doubt the most guttural and in my opinion authentic shooting in any movie of all time. I remember literally having my jaw fall open when the mans hand literally exploded into pieces.

Fun Fact: His military jacket’s patches say King Kong Company and also show a parachute with wings. The winged parachute was exclusively issued to USMC FORCE RECON, the toughest marines, trained to jump out of planes into enemy territory, and work in small 3-4 man teams seeking out the enemy forces and reporting it back to HQ. The most prolific if these units was called Killer Kane Company, probably referenced by his King Kong Company patch. Ironically, when he buys the guns from that dealer, he avoids the 1911 .45, which would have been the very same model he was issued in the marine corps.

When Keitel told Roth a gut shot is the most painful way to get shot, he was speaking from personal experience.

Ahhhhh NYC in the late 70s...what a magical place.

This should be remanded to “Travis Goes Pimp Hunting.”

Even though he's a pedo and a pimp, he was acting in self defense, so it wasn't necessary to kill. He maimed his arm and he dropped the gun. Killing someone is a lot of headache even if your acting in self defense Travis had a gun with that little contraption inside his coat sleeve, which took the old guy by surprise

This scene explains why joker considers Murray as his Idle

R.I.P Sport. Youse didnt know him like I did. Shared many a slice with dis fella. Sure he had some shady deals but ya shoulda hoid him sing. Voice like an angel. And he always took great care of his mudda too. Miss ya Sport

I love how Travis pulls out his revolver from his jacket which appears to be a short barrel. but as he shoots the guy's hand, its long. must be a good switcher with guns.

The most realistic and perfect shootout scene ever filmed. Nobody dares to try the usual pathetic remake of this masterpiece Taxi Driver.
