Taxi note goes under that title in the USA while New York Taxi (or something similar) is used in the many countries where the French originals were released is a 2004 American action-comedy directed by Tim Story. It is a Foreign Remake of the 1998 French film Taxi, starring Queen Latifah, Jimmy Fallon and Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen. Luc Besson (writer and producer of the French film) is still credited as a co-writer, but he's actually also co-producer here.Belle Williams (Latifah) is a bicycle courier-turned-taxi driver. Her souped-up Ford Crown Victoria is confiscated after she ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time, namely near a bank robbery. Andy Washburn (Fallon) is a Clueless Detective who doesn't know anything about cars and loses his driver's license early in the movie. The two of them team up to stop the gang behind the bank robbery. | |

Gratuitous Foreign Language: All scenes with Vanessa and her gang have them speaking Portuguese. Washburn is at first confused when he hears them speaking, mistaking their tongue for Italian or Spanish until Belle corrects him. | |

Cultural Translation | |
| Taxi (2004) / int_7d49d74a | comment |
Cultural Translation: The original film is set in the French city of Marseille, with its own specific street subculture and accents, local police and French cars. That film remakes it all with Big Applesauce, NYPD and American cars. The car chases are a lot more Hollywood-like because even a "tuned" Crown Vic can't be driven like a rally car. | |

Bad Cop/Incompetent Cop | |
| Taxi (2004) / int_a11f8240 | comment |
Bad Cop/Incompetent Cop: The NYPD is portrayed mostly as competent, except Detective Washburn. Not only is the guy incompetent (the first time we see him he ruins a drug bust and gets his partner shot) he's also a terrible driver, and bumbles along from one mistake to the other until the end, where he assumes the Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass position. | |

Artistic License – Physics | |
| Taxi (2004) / int_fc225bec | comment |
Artistic License – Physics: The ending chase culminates in a trick being pulled on the bank robber girls, which ends up with them being stuck on a section of highway that is incomplete (and about 60-70 feet in the air). While this was a cool looking stunt, it has zero grounding in reality. The BM Ws that end up on the section of highway are not going nearly fast enough to account for the 50-60 foot gap they clear, nor are there even any ramps present. Even if they had been going fast enough, the section of highway wouldn't have given enough time to stop their momentum. Realistically, the girls in the cars would have ended up hood-first in a pile of wrecked metal below the highway, quite dead or heavily injured. | |
