Lots of fun , laughs and car races . This thrilling as well as humorous motion picture blends action packed , car pursuits , comedy , shootouts , rip roaring and turns out to be pretty amusing . Displays nonstop action and is extremely bemusing and hilarious . The movie is developed in Marseille , as usual , there foul-mouthed Cabbie (Sami Narcery) join forces with a bungler police inspector , a loser named Emilien (Frederic Diefenthal) . A gang of thieves calling themselves the Santa Claus band are committing robbing , and the police can't keep up . Police Captain Gilbert (Bernard Farcy) is distracted by a Chinese journalist (Bai Ling) writing a story on his group , detective Emilien's sweetheart (Emma Sjöberg as Petra) has just announced that she's pregnant, and taxi driver Daniel is in the midst of a relationship crisis with Lilly Bertineau (Marion Cotillard) who is also pregnant . After a string of errors in which the thieves outsmart the police time and time again with a journalist there to record it all , the sympathetic Cabbie Daniel and his super-taxi go into action . Out to stop a new gang disguised as Santa Claus, Emilien and Daniel must also handle major changes in their personal relationships .The film displays action , comedy , intrigue , tongue in check and results to be entertaining , though predictable . There are chases galore in breathtaking velocity and with impressive finale race cars , causing wreak havoc and destruction , being realized by magnificent stunts and including excellent visual effects . From the start to the ending the action pace is fast moving , provides fast and furious entertainment with spectacular scenes . It's a run of the mill action-comedy film but from the initial to the final the fast movement and amusement is unstopped . Breathtaking scenes when take place alpine skiing , parachuting images and others in James Bond style . The laughters and chuckles are varied and giggles are based about diverse characters and differences of the protagonists , but they are the unlikeliest pals . The film is thrilling and humorous at times but is also ridiculous and embarrassing . However sometimes is fresh and diverting and on a couple of memorable occasions, it's frankly delicious . Likable and ordinary cast as Frédéric Diefenthal , Emma Wiklund , Bernard Farcy , Marion Cotillard , Sami Narcery ; even though they play a romantic couple that looks the same age, Samy Naceri was born 15 years before Marion Cotillard . Special appearance Sylvester Stallone, who appears in a cameo at the beginning of the movie, is dubbed for the French version . Lively and atmospheric musical score adjusted to the action by DJ Kore and DJ Skalp , composed by means of synthesizer . Glamorous and colorful cinematography by Gerard Sterin .This French buddy-cop movie is lavishly produced by great producer and director Luc Besson and professionally directed by Gérard Krawczyk (Wasabi , Fanfan La Tulipe , Heroines) . The original titled Taxi (1998) by Gerard Pires was followed by three sequels : Taxi 2 (2000), Taxi 3 (2003) y Taxi 4 (2007) , most of them directed by Gerard Krawczyc and same actors and an American version with Queen Lafitah , Jimmy Fallon and directed by Tim Story . The flick will appeal to adrenaline lovers and those young people looking for amusing and strong emotions . It's a must see for the cars buffs and Taxi series enthusiasts .

To like this movie, you gotta watch it in French. Otherwise you do not get all the humor in the movie and sometimes, the funny things said in Frech are not, usually, funny in English or other languages and this is true. I watch french movies in French during some of my French classes and when I re-watch them in Russian or English i don't like it, because the humor is not the same. It is like watching a funny tvshow in Russian and getting every joke, because you know the Russian culture. The same with the French movies. I loved the movie. It is a good movie. It is not a movie that you would be applauding standing on the premier, but it is worth watching. Most of the french movies are amazing, especially ones of Francis Veber and Luc Besson. I love every single movie of Luc Besson.

I absolutely LOVE this movie!!! Highly recommend it to everyone!!! My next vacation destination – Marseille, France!!! (June 2005) I love their acting, storyline is great too! i have seen that movie at least 20 times now and counting! If i didn't have a g/f, i d definitely fall in love with Marion Catillard - she is wonderful:) the only thing is - Luc Besson shows police as complete idiots, which sometimes little too much, but since i myself have lots of tickets for fast driving, i agree with him:)Samy and Frederic (Daniel and Emelian)- cool "couple" - police officer and a professional driver again together, this time they have to solve Emelian's case - catch gang of fake "Santa Clauses", who rob Marseille's banks (i was wondering - how much money is in Marseille, if they keep rubbing it for 3 movies straight!). At the same time they both find out that their g/friends are pregnant (Emelian finds out this goods news when his g/f is 8 months down the road!!!) cause he is so devoted to the problem of catching these gang dudes...Well - have a great time watching it!!!

Interesting. As much as I liked Taxi II (I haven't seen the first yet), I was very disappointed by this movie and barely laughed. Most of the time I had the impression that I was as bored as the actors seemed to be throughout the movie and that they never enjoyed the movie either.The whole story is very unimaginative; the jokes are lousy; the action scenes are poor (a show-off of what is technically possible as stunts leaving the viewer mostly indifferent); the characters have deteriorated to bad parodies.In all, a movie you should try to avoid watching to preserve the good memories of the first movie(s).
