Taxi Driver, another homage to the Searchers (as well as Arthur
Bremer's
Assassin's Diary and Dostoevski's Notes From Underground), has
been
influential in its own right, especially in England (I'm
talking about
in fiction, not reality, ie. Hinkley). The Brit blaxploitation
book Cop
Killer (forget the author, but it's printed by the same people
who first
published Victor Headley, X Press?) is a blatant, and not that
great,
rip-off. Helen Zahavi's Dirty Weekend is a harsh, but very
good
variation on Travis Bickle featuring a woman "who would not
take it."
