:Point 1 - Robert DeNiro played Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver. Scorsese directed it.

:Point 2 - Bickle wasn't aggressive, he was very self-destructive and emotionally distant, apart from the end, where his killing spree was driven more out of a desire to be 'known' than simple rage or jealousy. There's hardly any meaningful comparison that can be drawn between them. [[User:Sawbones|Sawbones]] 14:38, October 20, 2009 (UTC)

You misunderstand me. I wasn't refering to Bickle. I was refering to the character Martin Scorsese HIMSELF plays. He plays a passenger in Bickle's cab who goes into an insane rant about his wifes infidelity.
I can provide a YouTube link to the scene. Frankly I think the two characters are quite similar.

Check it out and see for yourself. I'm going to add this to the article. Because I feel it is relevant to discuss possible points of inspiration for certain characters. Okay? - Emperoraaron
==Wife's alleged guilt?==
This article is rather awkwardly written and sparse on information. It doesn't emphasize the fact that Jeff's wife considered the man she was with (Jeff's friend) to be a platonic male friend (even though Jeff's friend wanted to get into her pants), and thus Jeff's suspicions are a fabrication of his insane, deluded irrationality. In fact this article pretty much states she was cheating on him and Jeff killed her in retaliation. I might try to do a clean up. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 12:23, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

Could you please explain why we cannot include an image of Jeff's wife, the main focus of Jeff's missions? --AZNWonton 21:14, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

The article is about Jeff, not his ex-wife, so the image used is of Jeff. The other image should be used on an article detailing Jeff's missions as a random character. A-Dust 21:38, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Wife's alleged guilt?

This article is rather awkwardly written and sparse on information. It doesn't emphasize the fact that Jeff's wife considered the man she was with (Jeff's friend) to be a platonic male friend (even though Jeff's friend wanted to get into her pants), and thus Jeff's suspicions are a fabrication of his insane, deluded irrationality. In fact this article pretty much states she was cheating on him and Jeff killed her in retaliation. I might try to do a clean up. --FFN 12:23, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

Jeff Not Part of 100 Percent

When the article mentions that Jeff's random mission don't count for completion, and there is no reason why not. I think it is because the concept matter has todo with wife beating(Killing), domestic violence, and ingame Niko hates it when women are beaten. Just an ideaDrogo 18:44, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
