Taxi Movies: Original Timeline
The Original Timeline covers the core story of Daniel and Émilien's partnership across four films, from their first reluctant team-up through their established friendship as crime-fighting partners. This watch order provides the complete arc of the franchise's original protagonists, set entirely in Marseille with consistent character development and recurring supporting cast.
This timeline excludes Taxi 5 because that film shifts focus to new main characters, making it more of a soft reboot than a direct continuation of Daniel and Émilien's story. The original timeline offers the purest experience of the central relationship that defined the franchise's success and popularity across Europe.
