Line 64:
* [[Femme Fatale]]: The villainesses from the remake.
* [[Gay Paree]]: The second movie takes Daniel and Emilien to Paris to rescue a French State Secretary and Petra from the Yakuza.
* [[The GeneralsGeneral's Daughter]]: Daniel dates Général Bertineau's daughter Lilly. And he does the personal chauffeur's part deliberately. But it's the Général who convinces (read: shanghais) him to drive the Cobra through the urban obstacle parcours.
* [[Girl On Girl Is Hot]]: In the American remake, one of the bank robbers pats down Lt. Robbins for weapons in a suggestive way, much to the pleasure of all the guys present.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: A group of criminals drive three slightly tuned black Japanese cars–in a movie that was released one year before ''[[The Fast and The Furious]]''.
* [[Hollywood Skydiving]]: It's perfectly okay to jump off a flying Transall in a Peugeot 406 on which three parachutes are mounted (because one or two might fail). At least for Général Bertineau.
* [[Housewife]]: Camille Coutant-Kerbalec is perfectly this despite [[Disappeared Dad|lacking a husband]].
* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja]]: The Yakuza [[Mooks]] in ''Taxi 2''.
** In the same movie, Gibert believes he can increase his awesome by adding a bit of ninja to himself. He fails.
* [[ItsIt's Always Mardi Gras in New Orleans]]: It just happens to be Bastille Day in Paris.
* [[Large Ham]]: Commissaire Gibert.
* [[Lemming Cops]]: While trying to chase the Yakuza, the Paris police wreck several dozen of their cars of various sizes in one big [[Blues Brothers]] 2000-style mass crash scene, accompanied by a chanson by Gilbert Bécaud.
Line 80:
* [[Modesty Towel]]: [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] in that it's Emilien who wears one in the first movie. Plus a pair of socks.
* [[More Dakka]]: ''Everyone'' at Krüger's workshop is carrying a loaded submachine gun and ready to fire it when someone just as much as looks like he's a cop.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Emilien's attempt at investigating at Krüger's workshop the usual police way ends up with Krüger and his team shooting at him and Daniel with SMGs and escaping.
* [[Nitro Boost]]: Daniel's 406 in ''Taxi 3'', but with pastis instead of nitrous oxide.
* [[Obvious Pregnancy]]: Not so obvious for overworked Emilien that Petra is pregnant in ''Taxi 3''–eight months in, even.
