Reviews of the movie: Taxi 2

More stunts, more action, more tougher enemy...and of course, more Petra.

Now I liked Taxi, it was a good fun, car chasing type movie that was funny, etc, and the sequel is just about as good...it is a brainless movie which you can switch your mind off...

Whilst I enjoy watching subtitled films, I had a real problem finding one Dubbed in English for my uncle.

Anyway, the film is just like the first, the taxi driver is hired by the cops, but this time to protect a high-ranking Japanese official from the Yakuza.

The cops, lead by a dumb and annoying captain must protect him at all costs, but when Petra and the official are kidnapped, its up to the Taxi driver and co to rescue them.

With more stunts, and danger (costing the lives of several people), it owes more to a Jackie Chan film rather than to any french film, it still suffers from the same Americanisation problem, and whilst it does slightly better than the first in terms of action, it lacks the story or characterisation.

Most of the jokes rely you to have seen the first film.

As for the ending, I couldn't understand how Petra, who knew how to do Karate and Judo could beat Ninja Commandos...not only that, but the continutity problem of her panties...

Anyway, its a good film...but you'll probably forget it about as fast as the previous film.
