Amazon.co.uk Review

Why change a winning formula? On the surface Taxi 2 appears to have been re-purposed from the original high-octane movie, so that a guaranteed hit is assured. There are certainly enough stunts, punches and one-liners sprinkled here and there for good measure. It isn't, however, a simple sequel. True, it gets as close to a carbon copy of the original as possible, but the pace is oh so much faster. Set in Paris on Bastille Day the leading characters are chased by Ninjas, which allows the inclusion of karate action and Jackie-Chan-style moves into the pace of the film.

On the DVD: The disc boasts superb DTS sound, transforming your living room into a Peugeot dealer's idea of heaven, as well as a formidable Dolby Digital 5.1 sound that's as sleek as a freshly polished 406. The image is clean and perfectly transferred. Regrettably there is a distinct lack of bonus features; only a "Making of" featurette, basic filmographies, interviews and two hidden Easter eggs are included here.--Alex Fréau, Amazon.fr

Product Description

United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: French ( Dolby Digital 5.1 ), English ( Subtitles ), WIDESCREEN, SPECIAL FEATURES: Documentary, Filmographies, Interactive Menu, Making Of, Scene Access, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: The cast and crew from the 1998 Gallic megahit Taxi return for this high-octane sequel about a crime-bustin' cabby and a defrocked cop. The film opens with Daniel (Samy Naceri) rushing a pregnant woman to the hospital in his souped cab through the streets of Marseilles. Meanwhile, taciturn cop Emilien (Frederic Diefenthal) finally passes his driving test after flunking 27 times in a row. The action really gets rolling when blonde bombshell police woman Petra (Emma Sjoberg) gets kidnapped on the toilet by ninjas and added to their collection of hostages, including the Japanese minister of defense. The yakuza are out for trouble, and nothing stands between bedlam and civil order but two guys and one wicked-cool cab.

By Chris Hall TOP 100 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD
Taxi 2 roars onto your screen from the starting line with more of the same high speed racing mixed with it's quick witted nature. For a sequel, it shows that it can stand alone as it's own film yet keep in lane with the original. Being a French film, it offers subtitles for the non-french speaker, which are clear and bold, which is a refreshing change for a subtitles film. The stunts are impressive, with the classic 'taxi' style pile-ups you've been longing to see. A complete non-stop, tongue in cheek, blast of a film. Recommended!

We catch up with megaspeed taxi driver Daniel once again in Luc Besson's stunning sequel to the 1998 original Taxi.
The story this time follows Daniel, his soon to be father in law (Who, by the way, happens to be a senile old general!) and his bumbling cop friend Emilien on a mission to stop a Nija gang from terrorising the streets of Marseille. Fully packed with high speed car chases, stunning Ninja sequences and sharp witted humour, this film far excels the original. The adrenaline pumped Daniel is once again played with precision by Samy Naceri, Whilst the ever sexy Marion Cotillard plays the long waiting girlfriend Lily. Look out for cameos by Jaques Chirac and Lionel Jospin.
One more thing for you die hard fans, Mr Besson's Taxi 3 is out in French cinemas later this year...

Forget what you think you know about cliched French cinema. Do not be mistaken. This film is neither arty, nor sophisticated, nor is it in black and white.

Taxi 2 (like Taxi 1) is effortless viewing. Above all it is comedy, interspersed with great car chases. It is the funnier and more excillarating European cousin of the Fast and the Furious. The film neither takes itself too seriously, nor does it waste time with digitally enhanced this and that. The chases are just excellent, and really look like they have sent a stunt driver out into the rush hour traffic to do his worst (or best)to frighten us.

The humour is largely slapstick and there are plenty of non-politically correct stereotypes (policemen, japanese, german & french alike). It is an odd association but if like me you grew up with TV characters from BBC's Allo Allo, or Inspector Clouseau (pink panther films)and enjoyed car films like Italian Job (original),Cannonball Run and Monte Carlo Rally, etc you should like this.

The plot is simple. After dinner at the future 'in-laws', Daniel (a taxi driver) just pops out to give his girlfirend's father (a General) a lift to the airport where the Japanese ambassador is arriving to sign a military contract. When the ambassador is kidnapped, Daniel feels obliged to come to the aid of the embarrased French dignitaries. With the police and army in tow, Daniel attempts to get the ambassador back as quick as possible. All the while, he is trying to get home to his frustrated girlfriend who is waiting for him with the promise of 'dessert'.

None of the jokes or action have been spoilt in this review. Go see it!

If you enjoyed Taxi 1, you'll enjoy Taxi 2 - simple
This film is definitely for Taxi fans. The first film was a romp through a bunch of characters that could have you on the edge of your seat in fits of laughter. Read more

I d give this 5 stars just for the dozen police car pile up in Paris. If you liked the first episode, this is more of the same blend of action and humour.
