Why It Matters
The Taxi films, first launched in 1998, became a cornerstone of French action-comedy cinema, blending outrageous stunts with witty character dynamics. Taxi 2 (2025) aims to honor that legacy while modernizing its formula with cutting-edge chase sequences, global locations, and a cast that connects old fans with new audiences.
