The Iris is proud to support the In The House series at Event Cinemas on George Street in Sydney – helping bring classic films back to the big screen. This week, Taxi Driver was screened, and the trivia question was:

Well, this was something of a trick question, because it actually didn’t exist in the original script. All it said was “Travis speaks to himself in the mirror,”! Yes, one of the most famous lines in cinema was an adlib by the great Robert DeNiro. We wonder how many different takes he made? Could cinematic history have been forever changed if a different take had been used? Perhaps we’ll never know…
