Agreed with everything you said.
The scene in Basket Case was a Taxi Driver reference though wasn't it? I think the guy says the EXACT SAME LINES that the gun salesman says in Taxi Driver.. "need any uppers, downers, qualudes, black beauties..." etc etc etc. I figured it was cuz this was his first trip to New York so Henenlotter was trying to say that everyone in New York acts like the gun dealer from TAXI DRIVER?
Man I love the atmosphere in Basket Case... it would only be one-upped by Brain Damage, I think. New york in the 80's... sexy.
