Taxi Taxi is an action comedy from 2000 directed by Gérard Krawczyk based on a script by Luc Besson . The film is the sequel to Taxi from 1998.
action
Daniel's friend Lilly would like to introduce him to her parents, but Daniel has another important journey to make as a taxi driver. When he finally met Lilly's father, Général Bertineau, he believed Daniel was a medical student, drove an ambulance to earn additional money, and that the taxi belonged to Daniel's brother (who didn't even exist) and he should just "drive it in".
When Daniel takes the Général to the airport to pick up a Japanese minister, he meets his old friend Émilien. Due to an unfortunate coincidence, Daniel also has to drive the minister through a "terror trail" to the hotel, but the minister is kidnapped by the Japanese yakuza on the way there . Daniel and Émilien finally manage to get the minister to safety.
Of course, like its predecessor, this film contains many high-speed car chases .
criticism
"Entertaining action-comedy that combats racist prejudice and comes up with numerous allusions to French mentality, politics and film history."

Effect technique
After the first part of the film, in which a Peugeot 406 (phase I) built in 97 with the XFZ V6 with 140 kW (191 hp) played the main role, seven new and two used 406s (phase II) were provided by Peugeot, which come from the 2000–2002 series. The engines were developed in collaboration with Porsche, among others, and are the latest version of the well-known 3.0 24V from Peugeot and have 152 kW (207 PS) ex works. The vehicle type is also used in Taxi 3 and only externally modified for some scenes. As in the first part, the vehicles were revised with extensive tuning , for example the cars in Taxi Taxi and Taxi 3 have a different engine control from Maxituning and an exhaust system from Cheril. Otherwise rally cars are usually used as sound generators in the episodes (hence the four-cylinder sound). In the first part of the film, a real STW touring car was even borrowed for the film set, which had to be withdrawn after a few days of shooting due to an engine failure in a car used in a real race.
Five vehicles were used to represent the taxi, each of which served a different purpose. Cars 1 and 2 had neither engine nor seats, but hydraulic technology with over 100 m of installed cable. This was used to film the scenes in which Daniel converts his taxi into a racing car at the push of a button. Vehicles 3 and 4 were equipped without spoilers or tuning and were used in the scenes with normal city driving. The vehicles were also equipped with sophisticated technology such as microphones and camera frames. Taxi numbers 5 and 6 were used only for racing scenes in the city or on the highway. Cars 5–6 also had engine tuning and changes to the chassis and body. There is no precise information about the changes or the performance of the V6 engines during filming. The engine sound of the Peugeot 406 3.0 in the famous racing scenes, inside or outside the city, was recorded by a Peugeot 306 GTI EVO II rally car. These were later mixed into the editing and setting as sound files. The vehicle that was used to record the engine noise can be seen at the beginning of Part 2 Taxi II in the hill climb scene and was loaned out by the film team for an extra three weeks for the recordings. Vehicles 6–7 + X were only externally adapted to the design of the taxi and used for jumps and stunts and destroyed. The difference to the vehicles used in the racing scenes can mostly be seen optically in the film.
music
The music for the film from Al Khemya is kept very minimal and relies primarily on hip-hop elements as typical film music. The title song for the German version comes from the German hip-hop group Massive Töne ( Zwei Mille ).
Death
A 41-year-old cameraman was killed while filming a stunt scene , and his assistant suffered serious leg injuries. After a public prosecutor's investigation against director Krawczyk, producer Besson and stunt coordinator Rémy Julienne , the latter was found guilty by a Paris court in 2007 for having calculated a jump too short, so that the Peugeot 406 did not end up in a pile of cardboard boxes as intended, but 15 meters beyond flew.
