Taxi Movies: French Films
This watch order focuses exclusively on the original French Taxi series, created by Luc Besson and set in the vibrant streets of Marseille. The French films showcase the franchise's signature style of practical car stunts, rapid-fire dialogue, and the evolving partnership between Daniel and Émilien across the first four entries, followed by a generational handoff in the fifth film.
The French series maintains consistent tone and world-building throughout, from the original's introduction of the legendary Peugeot taxi through the soft reboot that passes the torch to Daniel's nephew. This watch order excludes the American remake, providing the pure European action-comedy experience that made the franchise a cultural phenomenon.
