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

4.0 out of 5 stars A complete non-stop, tongue in cheek, blast of a film., 4 Jun 2004
By Chris Hall "Dreadlocksmile" (Cardiff, Wales) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Marsielle Mayhem (with Nijas!), 20 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Taxi 2 [VHS] [2001] (VHS Tape)
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...

5.0 out of 5 stars An action packed funny film, highly recommended, 5 Oct 2002
By A Customer
I think this sequel is better than the original, it is more funny, and has more action. The car chase in crowded Paris towards the end is not to be missed. Daniel has also added some interesting features to his taxi, which I wont say. The action scenes include almost no special effects, and they certainly don't make them like this anymore. overall its just very entertaining.
Of course to fully appreciate it you should first see Taxi 1, which is also very good. The dvd does allow you to switch the french subtiles off, unlike the Taxi 1 dvd, which i appreciate. Also included is 'the making of taxi 2', the trailer, and some filmographies.
