Taxi (1998)

Taxi is a 1998 French action-comedy film written and produced by Luc Besson and directed by Gérard Pirès. In Marseille, skilled pizza delivery driver Daniel finally has his dreams come true and gets a taxi license. Meanwhile, bumbling police inspector Émilien has failed his driving test once more and struggles to gain respect amongst his colleagues. When Daniel picks up Émilien as a fare and blatantly disregards virtually every traffic law on the books, Émilien detains him, but soon enlists his help to track down a cunning gang of German bank robbers. The film would spawn four sequels, a 2004 American feature film remake starring Queen Latifah and Jimmy Fallon, as well as a 2014 NBC television series adaptation Taxi Brooklyn.
