Storyline

The Japanese ambassaor is visiting Marseilles to view the city police's anti-gang tactics. During the visit, however, he is kidnapped by a group working for the Japanese yakuza. Young officer Emilien is determined to rescue the ambassador and officer Petra (his girlfriend), who was also kidnapped, and restore the honor of his department. Once again, speed demon taxi-driver Daniel (from the first Taxi movie) is called upon to save the day with his high-speed driving skills. Written by Jean-Marc Rocher <rocher@fiberbit.net>

Goofs

Revealing mistakes: The Mitsubishi cars used by the bad guys have Japanese license plates and were presumably imported from Japan. However these are the cars with the steering wheel on the left, not on the right, as the imported Japanese car should have. See more »
