The "Taxi" that everyone has heard of is a TV show, not a movie.
The yellow cab was used in the DeNiro movie and the TV show, but as the quiz is movies only.....

I didn't know that was the real taxi from taxi driver - if that's the case then you're probably right.

I think the point is that lots of them are ambiguous and could be other things. Add to this that I am the most indecisive person in the world and I could be stuck here for hours trying to figure it out!
There are definitely some tenuous ones there, for sure.
Just look at the domino at the bottom right for example.
Exactly which domino is that?
A 9-4??

I saw that one on IMDB, but IIRC it's set in France and the image in the quiz is of a NYC yellow cab.

I briefly googled for the answers, and the few results I found suggest that I'm wrong.
I just think it'd have made more sense if the answer was the DeNiro movie.

Meh,

But then you've got the real dragon from Pete's dragon. They're tricking us DAMN THEM!

Still, got everyone talking, which I suppose is the point!
What kind of lily-livered reply is that?
Don't you know who I am, goddammit?

I'm the argumentative and secretive one from the place we don't talk about.....so fight with me, damn your eyes.

It could be either of the very famous Taxi movies which are critically acclaimed. I'd have put Taxi Driver, but there is no cabbie anywhere.
