Taxi	comment	Taxi is a 1998 French action comedy movie written and produced by Luc Besson and directed by GÃ©rard PirÃ¨s, and the first of a series of five.The main protagonists are Daniel Morales (Samy Naceri), a Badass Driver from Marseille who quits his job as the city's fastest pizza delivery boy to become the city's fastest taxi driver with his tuned and souped-up Peugeot 406, and Ã‰milien Coutant-Kerbalec (FrÃ©dÃ©ric Diefenthal), an eager but ditzy cop who has been trying and failing to get his driver's license for a long time. Ã‰milien only manages to confiscate Daniel's license after the latter drove him through Marseille at 217km/h (135mph), who didn't know that the man on the backseat of his taxi is a cop. They end up as a team chasing a German gang of bank robbers driving Mercedes cars because Daniel knows more about fast cars than Ã‰milien and can drive him around, and because he needs his license back.Other notable characters in the movie are Daniel's girlfriend Lilly Bertineau (Marion Cotillard) who tries quite hard to spend intimate time with him (and who turns out to be the daughter of an army General in the second movie), Action Girl and German exchange cop Petra (Emma SjÃ¶berg) for whom Emilien out of all people has the hots, and bumbling, chaotic Commissaire Gibert (Bernard Farcy) whose plans always fail spectacularly.The movie's success spawned three direct sequels over nine years, Taxi 2 (2000), Taxi 3 (2003), and Taxi 4 (2007). All of them were directed by GÃ©rard Krawczyk, who already directed some scenes in the first film when GÃ©rard PirÃ¨s had health issues.After a 11 years-long gap, Taxi 5 was released in France in April 2018 for the 20th anniversary of the franchise, with new leads, Franck Gastambide as police inspector Sylvain Marot and Malik Bentalha as Eddy Maklouf (Daniel's nephew). Samy Naceri and FrÃ©dÃ©ric Diefenthal did not return. Only Bernard Farcy and Ã‰douard Montoute (from the previous movies' police cast) came back. Gastambide also directed it.There is an Americanized remake from 2004, also titled Taxi. Neither should be confused with the 1932 James Cagney film Taxi!, or with the TV sitcom Taxi.A spin-off series, Taxi Brooklyn, debuted in 2014. It takes place in New York City where a plainclothes officer named Caitlin "Cat" Sullivan (Chyler Leigh) and a French-American taxi driver named Leo Romba (Jacky Ido) work together to take out criminals operating in the city.The films have a character sheet.

By Taxi 2, Daniel is Crazy-Prepared: a vomit bag pops up right in front of the backseat when the taxi stops. In Taxi 3, Sylvester Stallone impresses Daniel by not throwing up after the ride.

Taxi / int_a655d21c	comment	Calling the Cops on the FBI: The first attempt of Gibert's brigade of regular cops to arrest the Mercedes Gang ends up a total disaster when a confused shootout erupts between the brigade, a CRS company and the special forces in the convoy of the French Minister of the Interior who just showed up on the site, just because the latter caused a road accident. The German bank robbers simply use the occasion to flee. Fortunately with such a shootout, no-one gets hurt.

They've got one car, one license, and two drivers, one of which drives the car while the other one sleeps in the trunk. Daniel says nobody in Marseille can tell one Korean from another, so nobody notices this. Then Emilien has the brilliant idea to infiltrate the German bank robbers by hiding in the trunk of one of the Mercedes while they stop at KrÃ¼ger's shop to buy new tires. What he didn't take into consideration is that they have to put the tires somewhere.
