'''Taxi''' is a French action comedy movie from 1998 written and produced by [[Luc Besson]] and the first of a series of
This first movie spawned three sequels, ''Taxi 2'' (2002), ''Taxi 3'' (2003), and ''Taxi 4'' (2007), as well as an [[Cultural Translation|Americanized]] remake from 2004 which goes under the name ''Taxi'' in the USA and ''New York Taxi'' (or something similar) in many countries where the French originals were released. The remake features [[Queen Latifah]] as the bicycle courier-turned-taxi driver Belle Williams whose [[Cool Car|souped-up Ford Crown Victoria]] is confiscated after she was in the wrong place at the wrong time, namely near a bank robbery, and Jimmy Fallon as Detective Jimmy Washburn who's even more inept than Emilien from the French original, and who not only is too stupid to drive a car and loses his driver's license early in the movie but also doesn't know anything about automobiles at all. Besson is still credited as a co-writer, but he's actually also co-producer of the remake.
