Taxi (film): Difference between revisions

* [[Car Meets House]]: Emilien's attempts at acquiring a driver's license ''all'' ended in some store front.

* [[Catch Phrase]]

* [[Chase Scene]]: Naturally, all movies love these.

* [[Code Name]]: The teams during Operation Cobra (''Taxi 1'') had snake species as names.

* [[Cultural Translation]]: The 2004 remake was relocated from Marseilles to New York City, Belle drives a Ford Crown Victoria instead of a Peugeot 406, and the car chases are a lot more Hollywood-like because even a "tuned" Crown Vic can't be driven like a rally car.

* [[Cunning Linguist]] / [[Omniglot]]: Petra. She speaks French perfectly, her mother tongue is German, and Gibert had to find out the hard way that she's the only one in his team who is fluent in Japanese.

'''Gibert:''' "Guess I stopped there." }}

* [[Dad the Veteran]]: Lilly's father, Général Bertineau, is an Algerian war veteran. He tests every visitor in his house by telling war tales.

* [[The Ditz]]: Washburn. Also, Commissaire Gibert.

* [[Drives Like Crazy]]: Daniel and Belle, even when they're on two wheels (a pizza delivery guy and a bicycle courier, respectively).

'''Daniel:''' (laughs) "I thought it was for the skateboards!" }}

** The Yakuza in ''Taxi 2'' are crazy enough to drive on Paris Métropolitain tracks if need be.

* [[Double Standard Rape (Female on Male)]] / [[Black Comedy Rape]]: The villain of the third film, Qiu, forces oral sex on {{spoiler|Emilien}}.

* [[Running Gag]]: The Cobra's [[Unusual User Interface|voice-controlled]] engine starts up and shuts down when you say "Ninja" and "Nip" respectively. ''Whenever'' someone says these words within the microphone's range. And "nip" is what Gibert calls the Japanese secretary.

'''Both:''' "NINJA!" }}

** Emilien's attempts at acquiring a driver's license.
