If you're looking for high-octane car chases and a healthy dose of French humor, the original Taxi (1998)
Set in Marseille, the story follows Daniel Morales (), a former pizza delivery boy who becomes the city's fastest taxi driver in a heavily modified Peugeot 406. When he is caught speeding by Émilien ( Frédéric Diefenthal )—a bumbling police inspector who has failed his driving test eight times—Daniel is forced to strike a deal. To keep his license, he must use his driving expertise to help the police catch a gang of German bank robbers who use high-speed Mercedes-Benz cars as getaway vehicles. Review Summary
