URGENT NOTE: The back of the DVD says that there is an English audio track, but there is not. All features listed on our site have been manually verified. This is the All Region version of this DVD, not the version coded for Region 3 only. While this version of Taxi is uncut, the transfer isn't quite as nice as the Korean version and is not anamorphic. Also, this DVD does not have the English dub.

Overview:	In Marseilles (France), Daniel, an ex-pizza delivery boy who holds the town record for speediest deliveries, changes jobs and becomes a taxi driver. An F1 racer at heart, Daniel regularly drives his fares at 135mph through 30mph zones, and boasts that they never vomit while inside his cab...only once they exit. He doesn't drive a small yellow go-cart either, at the flip of a switch his car can transform from street-legal to street-menace: hidden spoilers emerge, the wheels move out, and the steering wheel gets replaced. Caught by the police for one of his trademark speed infractions, Daniel agrees to help Emilien, a loser inspector on the track of German bank robbers, so he doesn't lose his license and his job. What follows is a film that is surprisingly engaging, funny, and exciting. The action sequences are adeptly filmed and paced, the comedic scenes are well done and rarely sappy, and the storyline--though admittedly thin--is always taken care of and progresses nicely throughout the film. This is easily one of the top action-comedy films we've ever carried, and offers an incredibly good time. Copyright © 2000+ HKFlix, all rights reserved.
