Taxi (film): Difference between revisions

* [[Gay Paree]]: The second movie takes Daniel and Emilien to Paris to rescue a French State Secretary and Petra from the Yakuza.

* [[The General'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.

* [[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.

* [[Punk in The Trunk]]: This is how Korean taxi drivers manage to work 24 hours a day—seemingly. They've got one car, one license, and two drivers, one of which drives the car while the other one sleeps in the trunk. [[All Asians Are Alike|Daniel says nobody in Marseilles 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 Krüger's shop to buy new tires. What he didn't take into consideration is that it's right there where they'd put the tires.

* [[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.
