Taxi Driver

Now, this is definitely the line everyone thinks of when they recall Martin Scorsese’s hit film, Taxi Driver. Yes, we’re talking about when Robert De Niro’s character asks, “You talkin’ to me?” That line was not in the script at all. In fact, the script only instructed De Niro to look in the mirror basically. The script read, “Bickle speaks to himself in the mirror.” However, Martin Scorsese let his actor take the reins.

Naturally, watching David Patrick Kelly play Luther was one of the highlights of The Warriors. Anyone thinking of the line, “Warriors, come out to play!” you’re exactly correct. Never part of the script. Kelly not only invented that line but repeated it again when he decided to claw three bottles in his hand. Clearly, the director had to keep that in the final cut!
