The famous statement about "God's Lonely Man" is a citation of the essay of the same name by author Thomas Wolfe. Similarly his "You talkin' to me?" line is closely paraphrased from Il cavaliere della valle solitaria (1953). Travis Bickle is named after Mick Travis, Malcolm McDowell's character in Lindsay Anderson's films Se.... (1968) and O Lucky Man! (1973) (and later Britannia Hospital (1982)). Also, in one scene in O Lucky Man, McDowell wears suspenders with no shirt, as DeNiro does in one scene here.
