Nice find.

Oh, that sequel was a joke. They really were working on a sequel, directed by Lars Von Trier though, but it got cancelled. They were also doing a video game...
thankfully.. it got canned too.
What's funny is the concept is even worse than my fake sequel idea above.. as Travis, you go around killing mob bosses, pimps, and drug dealers, while saving young prostitutes.
That was seriously the concept for the Taxi Driver video game. The Taxi Driver...
VIDEO GAME. Where you get to play as Travis Bickle with a mohawk. And
AN UZI?!
...I wonder if alka seltzer in water was a powerup?
Anyway, one last shot..
TRAVIS BICKLE RUNNIGN HIS TAXI INTO A LIGHTPOLE AND KNOCKING THE LIGHTPOLE COMPLETELY OVER WHILE BARELY SCRATCHING UP HIS (APPARENT) COMBAT ASSAULT VEHICLE.
What's funny is people probably think these screenshots are fake, but nope, this is real. It almost came out, too -- the developers simply ran out of money. I wonder if they even SAW THE FUCKING MOVIE THEY WERE BASING THEIR GAME ON? "Action" comprises roughly, oh, 3 minutes of the movie, if that!
