RUNNING TIME: 67 minutes.
Edit without Shepherd (completely cut out) and no voice-overdub of De Niro.
Some music overdubs by Jay Chattaway and sound effects are used in the shooting at the end.
In my version Bickle is a loner, and his loneliness is killing him, so he decided to execute Palentine who is running for president,
just to make some kind of statement before he ends his miserable life.
Although he likes him, he chooses him as the victim.
That fails and then he decides to rescue a 12-year-old hooker from her pimp, who he met earlier.
