Default Taxi. The original from 1998.

I hated yankees made a remake version with Queen Latifa of this crazy and great film... even they copied some dialogues... ARghhhh!!!

Well, but the original ROCKS !!!


Directed by Gérard Pirès
Writing credits Luc Besson
Runtime 86 min
Country France


In Marseilles (France), Daniel, an ancient pizza delivery boy, changes job to become a taxi driver, but his dream is to become an F1 pilot. Caught by the police for a huge speed infraction, he will help Emilien, a loser inspector on the track of German bank robbers, so he doesn't lose his license and his job.

The opening secuence of the film CRAZY !!

The original Taxi is the only one worth watching. I saw the American remake and it was rubbish.

I adore the French taxi series. Have both taxi 1 and taxi 2 on DVD and i saw taxi 3 with the thanks to some tricky subtitle software a while back.

/\/\/\ Those French are nuts. It looks like someone has butchered up a few postbox's sprayed them wite and glued them to the car in a seemingly random order. Crazy stuff. Hope they sub taxi 4 in english - they didnt bother with taxi 3 for some reason.

TV stations will usually subtitle them if they're shown.
