Considered one of the greatest movies ever made, Martin Scorsese's 1976 masterpiece, Taxi Driver, garnered an Academy Award Best Actor Nomination for Robert De Niro and his stirring, riveting performance. Roger Ebert wrote, "Taxi Driver" is a hell, from the opening shot of a cab emerging from stygian clouds of steam to the climactic killing scene in which the camera finally looks straight down. Scorsese wanted to look away from Travis's rejection; we almost want to look away from his life. But he's there, all right, and he's suffering". A jewel for the finest die-cast cast collection is this 1:18 Scale Die-Cast Yellow New York City Checker Taxi Cab by Sun Star, similar to what's seen in the classic;1976 film Taxi Driver, and personally hand-signed by film legend Robert De Niro.
