Yes, I found this sequel superior to the original. Action-wise they're on about the same level, but the comedy is much sharper here. The opening sequence alone, involving a woman giving birth right on the back seat of Daniel's taxi and his girlfriend on the phone mistaking the whole thing for something else entirely, is funnier than anything in the first film. There are good lines....
- "Petra, I didn't know you can speak Japanese"
- "It's on my file, sir. Right after my measurements"
- "Ah, I must have stopped reading at that point!"
...and even some elements of political satire. The energy level goes down a bit somewhere in the middle, but bounces back up in the last 20 minutes. Emma Sjöberg gets a more active part this time around, and there are some incredible martial arts moves performed by her, Tsuyu Shimizu, and a masked ninja. Daniel's taxi has increased capabilities, which include flying (!) and require the assistance of special effects, but the crashes (and the fast driving) still look smashingly real. There are also certain gags (how Emilien finally gets his driver's license, for example) that work much better if you know the original, so make sure to watch that one first. (**1/2)
