Taxi Driver

Reflected in a storefront window, in a drive-by shot of the campaign headquarters.

Fare on meter when Travis' passenger is the cuckolded husband.

The length of Travis' sleeves (after cutting one off).

Iris's sunglasses change from green to blue when they're having breakfast.

This is a character quirk; she changes her glasses periodically, as the person Iris was modeled on did this.

Number of slices of toast when Iris and Travis are in the diner When Travis meets with Betsy the first time at the Palantine office, an overhead shot shows him beginning to sweep his arm through the air above the desk.

In the next shot, from the front, his arms are in a different position.

When Travis gets back into his cab after buying the 'Kris Kristofferson (I)' (qv) album, the beacon on the top reads "3S96".

That's consistent with real New York taxis, which have their medallion number (1 number, 1 letter, 2 numbers) on their roof beacon.

In the next shot, the roof beacon reads "TAXI", which is never on a New York City taxi's roof beacon, but often appears in movies and TV shows.

When Iris eats dinner with Travis while wearing green glasses, her hair changes throughout the scene.

In Travis' anniversary note to his parents, he refers to Father's day in July.

It's actually in June.

In an earlier version, Iris's timekeeper discovers a weapon on Travis, disarms him, then returns it to him as he's leaving.

The scene was edited out, but the gun is still in the timekeeper's hand when he looks at his watch.

In the shot from Travis' point of view, when he passes the Palantine office and sees that Betsy is not at her desk, the cameraman and dolly grip are clearly reflected in the window.

When Travis puts the 380 Walther on the suitcase with the other guns, they are are side by side at the same angle.

In the next shot, the Walther is at a different angle.

When Travis leaves the garage after applying for a taxi driving job, his jacket is unzipped.

In the next shot, Travis emerges onto the sidewalk with his jacket halfway zipped.

Travis burns the flowers in the sink.

Soon after, when he puts money in an envelope, the flowers are on the floor behind him.

The black-market gun dealer misidentifies the.

380 Astra Constable in his case as a Walther PPK.

The guns are very similar, so it could be an easy mistake or a deliberate lie.

He tells Travis the Walther PPK.

380 replaced the P-38 as the standard German military sidearm in WW2, which is false.

The P-38, a full-size pistol, replaced the P-08 (Luger) as the standard military sidearm.

The PPK was a compact pistol for use by police (PP stood for Polizeipistole) and personal protection, not as a combat sidearm.

When Travis sits down with Wizard and Doughboy at the Bellmore, he orders a cup of coffee.

Seconds later, when he puts the Alka-Seltzer tablets into his water glass, a hamburger is on his plate.

When Travis buys the guns from Easy Andy, he buys a S&W model 61, which he was told was a Colt.

Later, at the range, he fires a Colt.

In the second range scene, Travis's Colt.

38 Special becomes a Colt Detective's Special.

When the store clerk beats the dead robber, the body goes from sitting up against the counter, to lying down, to sitting up again between shots.

When Travis is talking to the Wizard, facing the street, flashing lights from a police car appear on Travis' face.

The camera immediately goes to Wizard, who is facing Travis, with no police car behind him.

Seconds later a police car pulls up, lights flashing, across the street.

Easy Andy claims that the.

44 Magnum revolver will "stop a car at a hundred yards, put a round right through the engine block.

" It actually won't penetrate an engine block at that range, and the shooter will have little hope of damaging or disabling a component of the engine that will disable the vehicle (such as shorting out the battery or causing the coolant to drain out).

However, it's obviously part of his sales pitch.

When Iris' john shoots Travis in the arm, the gunfire sound occurs a split second after the trigger is pulled.

When Travis is shot in the shoulder, he drops the.

38 down the stairs.

In the next shot, the gun drops to the floor, to his right.

When Travis is negotiating with Matthew for Iris' services, an off-camera voice says "But no rough stuff.

" just before Matthew says it.

The first time Travis has coffee with Betsy, Travis' voice-over states that he had black coffee.

A few moments later, milky coffee is visible.

In some viewers' interpretation, the last segments of the film are a dream sequence, so many "errors" are simply the experience of being in dreams.

That interpretation is not universally held, so these goofs are included on this page for your judgment.

When Travis is dry firing the.

380 pistol towards the camera, his jacket is on.

In the next scene, his jacket is off.

According to the exterior shot, and the Then-and-Now Special Feature on the 2-disc DVD, Iris lived at 226 East 13th Street.

Travis writes "240 East 13th Street" on the envelope containing the letter and $500.

The glass into which Travis drops the Alka-Seltzer tablet suddenly appears in front of him.

Only a coffee cup was there before.

While Travis is checking the.

44 Magnum revolver offered by the gun dealer, the cylinder emits a clicking sound while he spins it.

In fact, the cylinder of a double action revolver such as this one does not click when it is rotated.

While Travis is examining various guns with the gun dealer, the latter states that the German Walther PPK pistol replaced the P.

38 pistol during World War II.

In fact, only a small number of PPK's were issued to German forces during the war.

Most German sidearms were P.

38's and Lugers.

When Travis is buying the guns, he holds the gun in his right hand, but he sights down the weapon with his left eye.

Although this is uncommon there are a number of right handed shooters who are "Left-eye dominant".

This can be uncomfortable when shooting high powered handguns as the hammer tends to kiss the shooters forehead.

At the end, (after the police arrive) the camera does an aerial shout over the scene.

Sport is still holding his weapon.

Whether wounded or dead, the police having passed by, he would not have left the weapon in his hand.

Before the climatic shoot out scene near the end, Travis approaches Matthew and begins conversation.

Matthew becomes agitated and kicks Travis leading him getting shot in the abdomen.

As Matthew falls you can see a wire on his left side dangling below his thigh presumably from the gunshot squib.
