4:50 This is one of the most epic car chase shots ever. The shaky handcamera focussed on the Taxi and on the other Mercedes makes you feel like you're on the passenger seat in that moment. No CGI, no explosions, no bullshit. Just real cars with real stunt drivers swerving through real movie-traffic, including wrong way driving and passing oncoming cars with more than 100 km/h. The amount of professional drivers during this scene is insane. Movies will never be that good again, because back then, people had the balls to do such a scene...
I so agree with you! I can watch this scene so many times and never get tired of it. Compared to the new fast and furious, I can’t even watch those movies.
but in fact there a lot of typos... on begging you can see how "police" are getting out "visitors" from road, its funny, i didn't remember that when i saw movie first time, but now its so cringe
Love how this is edited, because except for the sped up part, it isn't. No jumpy editing, cars that seem to go a million miles per hour, no soundtrack like the world is ending. Long takes, fast cars and a sick beat. A perfect example how to do it right.

If you die tonight, do you know where you're going? Did you know that Jesus Christ is THE Truth, the life and the only way to Heaven?

He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteous, but rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). God gave us free will and since Adam sinned in the garden, sin is the nature of our flesh and we ALL have sinned. (Romans 3:23) The law demands death to those who sin (Romans 6:23).

We all have broken God’s commandments, we all have sinned in our lives so none of us are good. ‘’For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.’’ (James 2:10). Our carnal mind is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's moral law and it never will (Romans 8:7).

So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.” (Luke 11:13) ''What then?

If you have repented and have genuine faith in Jesus Christ then you will receive the gift of Holy Spirit and be born-again spiritually. When you believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession - to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14) Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36) ''You will know them by their fruits'' (Matthew 7) If you have been truly born-again with the Holy Spirit and He has regenerated your heart, you will desire righteousnes - to do what is good and righteous in God's eyes, to seek God everyday in His Word and prayer, to strengthen your relationship with God. You will no longer desire to willfully continue living in sin but will want to obey God out of your love for Him because of His amazing grace revealed to us through the death and resurrection of His Son. ''Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.'' (2 Corinthians 5:17) ''For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.'' (Eph 2:10) You will have a testimony - of what your life had been before and how has it changed now when you have surrendered it to Lord Jesus Christ. As a declaration and affirmation of your faith in Jesus Christ, get baptised in water because He commanded us to do so.

(Romans 6:4) ''Having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.'' (Colossians 2:12) Please get right with God and get to know Jesus Christ personally today before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left! "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32) Get to know Christ through God's Word - Bible. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you! Jeremiah 29:13 - ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''
MB W124 E500 and BMW E34 M5 (not in this movie) were the miracles of engineering, I've driven so many cars but nothing can beat these two. Comfort, speed, dynamics, reliability and etc in a one regular family sedan. These two cars were made in a different era, an era when cars were built by engineers and not by marketing managers (unlike today). I remember them as a teenager in the 90's. These two cars seemed our of this world. Endless respect to the teams who worked on building them.
у меня тоже были когда то и w201, w210 несколько, w163 и бмв е30 и е38 и альфа ромео 33 , пришел к выводу что мерседес выигрывает у бмв по очень многим параметрам а там где редко но уступал -уступал незначительно. бмв всегда стараласт догнать во всем мерседес, это и означает что опа всегда была на втором месте и это правда w124 е500 застал сначала е28, потом е34 и чуть е39 и все это время бмв толком не мог сделать м5 толком разгоняющуюся лучше чем w124 е500 с неизменным мотором м119 и прежней неизменной коробкой передач. то есть мб было плевать он шел без оглядки, а бмв создавало миллион модефикаци и версий и моторов для м5 чтоб хоть разок обогнать е500. и в этой погоне бмв м5 проиграло по всем остальным параметрам и в комфорте, и в практичности и в стиле и в добротности и в ресурсности🙂🙂 но все же бмв хоть и не на первом но на втором месте и это тоже серьезный подвиг. но мерседес на века. меня радует и сегодня мой w124 1986 года , отреставрировал его так как мне хотелось и пользуюсь повседневно с удовольствием

вы немцы создавая w124 и остальные машины 80-90 создали вечные машины, сейчас я отреставрировал w124 1986 года и езжу на нем каждый день и сидения дорестайлинговые родные стоят, пружинные и они комфортнее чем сидения на w222 и w213 , то есть чем старше тем они комфортнее. собираюсь отреставрировать w126, w123 хотя w123 мне не очень нравится по дизайну и если повезет то очень хочу w115
According to my father most German rentals used to have plates with WI back then. It would make sense for a movie. However he could've been totally wrong though, lol

yeah! the music is amazing, it create all the tension needed for this car chase. and the band IAM manage to make the whole OST in just 3 weeks, they were really invest in the project.
A great original non CGI car chase and you don't need to speak French or German to enjoy the movie as a whole. The original, unlike the US remake, is the best
The interestinf part is, Luc Besson (the original writer and producer of the original Taxi) also involved in the US remake, yet somehow worse ratings, lmao
The V6 engine that was later on fitted on the 406 (like Daniel made) could be easily tuned to 220 BHP. Related to the car's weight, that actually gave it a better power to weight ratio than a factory 500e - so yes, as long as they were in Marseille's crowded, narrow, really-not-flat streets, that particular 406 could "smesh a 500e". On the highway, as mentioned by the German guy, the 406 is toast as total HP is king (hare to the "turtle" 406 - "hé ducon, La Fontaine, tu connais ?!")... But Daniel had a head start and managed to slam the door on the 500e long enough to pull them where he wanted them.
@@mitch075fr Et tu crois vraiment à tout ce tuning 😅🤣🤣,genre la 406 c'est devenu un avion de chasse,vas-y, un vrai gamos t'as pas à faire le 'jacky",et regarde juste la côte d'un 500e ,by Porsche,du con, avec celle de la 406🤣🤣🤣
@@mitch075fr That's not an ordinary tuned 406, that's very likely a Super Touring spec one which had 300+hp. More or less equal to the 500E's HP, but combined with its inherent light weight the 406 could pull away quicker as the 500E is much heavier.

Little trivia: the camera car for the chase was a peugeot 306 Maxi Group A rally car. At 4:34 was an actual accident on the set but in the end they left it in. (even tho the front left of the Mercedes was KO in reality)
At the broadcast resolution it would be hard to tell. In fact, my Czech rip of the movie (probably a DVD copy, who knows) is in 540i and I couldn't tell until I saw this video.
Как владелец w124 Mercedes 3.0 которым я владею уже десять лет, для меня это самый лучший автомобиль на этой планете. Каждый день за рулём этой легендарной машины, одно сплошное удовольствие. И для меня это уже не просто какой то автомобиль, это уже настоящий друг на все времена.
I’ve owned and loved every Taxi movie since the original release……… Have the double vinyl soundtrack also…❤ Richard Sammel is the most German looking German actor I’ve seen on the big screen 😊
The stunt drivers are real pro's, no comment about that! But here it's all about the camera work, which is outstanding! The way they edit it and shot it, really gives you the thrills!
What amazes me most - is the pure skill and the brave craft of the stunt-drivers. Like here 6:13 , driving 100+ on a highway in "traffic". Nowadays scenes like 3:07 and 7:45 are extinct because they deemed "too dangerous". Now everything is shot at 40 and then sped up😮💨
scene at 3:07 "traffic" is doing at most 20 kph, the chase is going at 60-70 kph. 7:45 scene has fake braking sounds so the back & forth on that pillar is done at slow speed. a bit more danger but they could have used remote controlled cars. possible with normal cars even back then.
@@verliebt3465 About the shot at 3:07 : in the making-of the film you have a stunt drivers who complains that the "traffic cars" drive too slowly and he asks them to drive faster , finally they keep this shot where the traffic are slow and they don't have listen to the stuntdriver
Dude, they don't drive fast there... the other cars are not even driving 30 km/h, can't you see it? The protagonists and antagonists maybe drive something around 50-70 km/h, but definitely not higher... and for the "speeding" sequences, they change scenes... if you drive full speed from 30-70 ofc it looks like. Don't you remember the one fast and furious scene, where they followed a starting airplane by car ( I think it was Vin Diesel ) and he shifted about 21 times forwards... which manual car has 21 gears?! They just made it look like... it's not happening in reality, that's the film. Imagine having cameras in 1998 to catch a 160 km/h car chase in such a quality... they simply did not exist (and maybe even don't exist today)
@@Snakehad95 on that shot yes but well on the making of they show a shot in the interior of the benz and we see the speedometer at 180km/h on the highway with a 306 maxi rally car used to film
2:18;For those who dont understand this scene here is what the french guy says Hello the bavarian(feminine) How is it going ? Still driving your tractor ? Im sorry last time i forgot to disengage my handbrake that is why i was not fast. Hey listen to me, now it is much better let's redo a little dual ( race ) or do you stay ridicule ( seemingly stupid, ashamed, )
Awesome movie, very enjoyable. The best part is, the Mercedes have the numberplate from my hometown in Germany. WI stands for Wiesbaden. Never noticed it before!
500e is one of the craziest car and most badass car ever built. Even though it’s a classic now but I was one of the few people who bought one of these cheap at young age and enjoyed that car.It was truly a great experience that I will never forget.
Germans understands and speaks french, then starts chaseing a taxi with the money from the heist in the trunk. Not likely, but still the best of the Taxi movies.
I recently had two girls my age come by, they though we were going to watch a Christmas movie, we weren’t, I put this movie on, the only time they paid attention was during this chase, it is one of the best chase scenes I have ever seen, no CGI, no goofy fake explosions or crashes (during the chase), just the driving
This movie and 2f2f what get me into cars when i was a child. now being in my 30's cant live a day without thinking about car related thoughts! Love the movie
This here completely shatters F&F lmao I remember watching this as a kid back in Europe when it came out omg…. Best movie of the 90’s they just don’t make movies like this anymore! Germans played SOOOOO SO SO GOOD here haha 💪😎
this car chase is in my top 2 of the best movie car chases ever (it's impossible to beat the car chase in Bullit) i can't find another good car chase in a movie (except in fifth element but it's no longer cars)
Снято ну просто круто для того времени, все ясно, кто где куда, очень красиво и правдоподобно в рамках погони, насколько это может быть для такого фильма❤
Très belle scène je m en souviens au cinéma ! mais les 2 Mercedes E500 Impressionnantes... dommage qu'il n'y avait pas de Mercedes 190 2.5 16V , mais c était le meilleur des films Taxi 👍
The most coolest and greatest mid 90s and early 2000s car action high speed chase movie of the year and after that more famous predecessor such like gone in sixty seconds 2000 remake movie from the 70s movie one then the second one is the fast and the furious 1 movie with 2 fast 2 furious,the fast and the furious 3 Tokyo drift.But this one is the best and no ridiculous visual special effect and cgi animation special effect on the movie,the taxi movie series was the best and fun to watch when I'd felt never get bored with it 😂😂😂.Whether is not a Hollywood English language movie from America or England,these one is from the country of French one.
I like fair use statement in the beginning, that clearly points out things it covers and this video is none of them. Copying whole scenes is not criticism, transformative or whatever
Cest filmé d'une façon magnifique avec la camera en zoom depuis une long distance, les autres taxi cest pas filmé comme ça la camera est toujours proche est fixe
LOL, I've prolly watched the sequels a million times. But I forgot the original was a classic. Couldn't even remember the Mercs. The sequels stories and jokes though ring to mind. Or perhaps I'm getting too old to remember the original now, since avoiding a rewatch must've been due to memory saturation with it. Makes sense, I prolly had like some potato 360p rip of this in 1999. Since I was a rich kid and had 8/1 ADSL LOL. The computers at the time had a difficult time decoding MPEG2 much less DivX at any decent resolution. An AMD K6-2 400Mhz and no hardware acceleration for video (other than perhaps MPEG2, with bespoke decoder card indeed) could not push much bitrate.Didn't take too long though, for that to change. ROFLMAO. By 2001 it was a 700Mhz Duron overclocked to 1GHz and a Radeon 8500. Which had GPU offloading of video decoding. And CPU could do DivX decode on its own at dazzling DVD 576p quality and 25fps! (Yes, PAL DVDs were 720 × 576. NTSC inferior at 480p and 24fps but US is a developing country so thats normal) Gonna go rewatch this. It is truly a master piece of french cinema.
As someone who's been fascinated with computers from a young age, I did find what you wrote interesting but I can't help but wonder if you have ADHD?

who raised him from the dead.'' (Colossians 2:12)
Please get right with God and get to know Jesus Christ personally today before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left!
"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32)
Get to know Christ through God's Word - Bible. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you!
Jeremiah 29:13 - ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''

MB W124 E500 and BMW E34 M5 (not in this movie) were the miracles of engineering, I've driven so many cars but nothing can beat these two. Comfort, speed, dynamics, reliability and etc in a one regular family sedan. These two cars were made in a different era, an era when cars were built by engineers and not by marketing managers (unlike today). I remember them as a teenager in the 90's. These two cars seemed our of this world. Endless respect to the teams who worked on building them.
у меня тоже были когда то и w201, w210 несколько, w163 и бмв е30 и е38 и альфа ромео 33 , пришел к выводу что мерседес выигрывает у бмв по очень многим параметрам а там где редко но уступал -уступал незначительно. бмв всегда стараласт догнать во всем мерседес, это и означает что опа всегда была на втором месте и это правда w124 е500 застал сначала е28, потом е34 и чуть е39 и все это время бмв толком не мог сделать м5 толком разгоняющуюся лучше чем w124 е500 с неизменным мотором м119 и прежней неизменной коробкой передач. то есть мб было плевать он шел без оглядки, а бмв создавало миллион модефикаци и версий и моторов для м5 чтоб хоть разок обогнать е500. и в этой погоне бмв м5 проиграло по всем остальным параметрам и в комфорте, и в практичности и в стиле и в добротности и в ресурсности🙂🙂 но все же бмв хоть и не на первом но на втором месте и это тоже серьезный подвиг. но мерседес на века. меня радует и сегодня мой w124 1986 года , отреставрировал его так как мне хотелось и пользуюсь повседневно с удовольствием

Damn I've seen this movie plenty of times and I never noticed there was an I after the W. Always thought the cars were from Wuppertal
вы немцы создавая w124 и остальные машины 80-90 создали вечные машины, сейчас я отреставрировал w124 1986 года и езжу на нем каждый день и сидения дорестайлинговые родные стоят, пружинные и они комфортнее чем сидения на w222 и w213 , то есть чем старше тем они комфортнее. собираюсь отреставрировать w126, w123 хотя w123 мне не очень нравится по дизайну и если повезет то очень хочу w115

A great original non CGI car chase and you don't need to speak French or German to enjoy the movie as a whole. The original, unlike the US remake, is the best
The us made a remake??
@@jaidensmith4304 they did. It stars Queen Latifah and Jimmy Fallon and was made in 2004. The stunt driving was good but not the best movie.

Sick ride. Absolute boss.
As a french guy ,I must recognize the existence of metaverses,...only french cinema can make you believe that a 406 can smesh a 500e 🤣🏁
The V6 engine that was later on fitted on the 406 (like Daniel made) could be easily tuned to 220 BHP. Related to the car's weight, that actually gave it a better power to weight ratio than a factory 500e - so yes, as long as they were in Marseille's crowded, narrow, really-not-flat streets, that particular 406 could "smesh a 500e". On the highway, as mentioned by the German guy, the 406 is toast as total HP is king (hare to the "turtle" 406 - "hé ducon, La Fontaine, tu connais ?!")... But Daniel had a head start and managed to slam the door on the 500e long enough to pull them where he wanted them.
@@mitch075fr Et tu crois vraiment à tout ce tuning 😅🤣🤣,genre la 406 c'est devenu un avion de chasse,vas-y, un vrai gamos t'as pas à faire le 'jacky",et regarde juste la côte d'un 500e ,by Porsche,du con, avec celle de la 406🤣🤣🤣
@@mitch075fr That's not an ordinary tuned 406, that's very likely a Super Touring spec one which had 300+hp. More or less equal to the 500E's HP, but combined with its inherent light weight the 406 could pull away quicker as the 500E is much heavier.

It wasent in the 90s /2001...
@@ponchiklrus1333 late 90s actually, the first taxi movie was released in 1998
you only see Daniel shift once, unlike the fast n furious where you see them shift fifty times.
Yep! And here - it's sequential shifter with a manual transmission, and in F&F they shift AUTOMATIC!!!
Parece cambio de camión de la cantidad de velocidades...
The trashtalking at the end always gets me 🤣 Daniel and Emilien had great chemistry
They don't make movies like these anymore.
Taxi 1 & 2 are absolute masterclasses in action comedy!
Little trivia: the camera car for the chase was a peugeot 306 Maxi Group A rally car. At 4:34 was an actual accident on the set but in the end they left it in. (even tho the front left of the Mercedes was KO in reality)
now that you mentioned it, the rims on that car are definitely rally rims.
@@caerxm No, the red car that got hit was a 205.
I love how the car chase is entirely real but the standing on the edge of the unfinished bridge is green-screened!
haha yes, all the difficult shots were real. maybe it was a last minute addition done on a different day / location.
At the broadcast resolution it would be hard to tell. In fact, my Czech rip of the movie (probably a DVD copy, who knows) is in 540i and I couldn't tell until I saw this video.
Как владелец w124 Mercedes 3.0 которым я владею уже десять лет, для меня это самый лучший автомобиль на этой планете. Каждый день за рулём этой легендарной машины, одно сплошное удовольствие. И для меня это уже не просто какой то автомобиль, это уже настоящий друг на все времена.
Really I liked all parts of this movie and like Peugeot because this movie is awesome 😎👍
I’ve owned and loved every Taxi movie since the original release……… Have the double vinyl soundtrack also…❤ Richard Sammel is the most German looking German actor I’ve seen on the big screen 😊
What including that diabolical version with Queen Latifah? That was an affront to the Taxi Franchise,
This movie is gold... ❤ I saw in 2000 in the channel The Film Zone the movie Taxi 2 here in Mexico and was a hit on TV in the entire country.
The stunt drivers are real pro's, no comment about that! But here it's all about the camera work, which is outstanding! The way they edit it and shot it, really gives you the thrills!
What amazes me most - is the pure skill and the brave craft of the stunt-drivers. Like here 6:13 , driving 100+ on a highway in "traffic". Nowadays scenes like 3:07 and 7:45 are extinct because they deemed "too dangerous". Now everything is shot at 40 and then sped up😮💨
scene at 3:07 "traffic" is doing at most 20 kph, the chase is going at 60-70 kph. 7:45 scene has fake braking sounds so the back & forth on that pillar is done at slow speed. a bit more danger but they could have used remote controlled cars. possible with normal cars even back then.
@@AB-ww2um the green car might be doing 60. but look how slow the SUV/pick-up is aproaching the zebra crossing.
@@verliebt3465 About the shot at 3:07 : in the making-of the film you have a stunt drivers who complains that the "traffic cars" drive too slowly and he asks them to drive faster , finally they keep this shot where the traffic are slow and they don't have listen to the stuntdriver
Dude, they don't drive fast there... the other cars are not even driving 30 km/h, can't you see it? The protagonists and antagonists maybe drive something around 50-70 km/h, but definitely not higher... and for the "speeding" sequences, they change scenes... if you drive full speed from 30-70 ofc it looks like.
Don't you remember the one fast and furious scene, where they followed a starting airplane by car ( I think it was Vin Diesel ) and he shifted about 21 times forwards... which manual car has 21 gears?! They just made it look like... it's not happening in reality, that's the film. Imagine having cameras in 1998 to catch a 160 km/h car chase in such a quality... they simply did not exist (and maybe even don't exist today)
@@Snakehad95 on that shot yes but well on the making of they show a shot in the interior of the benz and we see the speedometer at 180km/h on the highway with a 306 maxi rally car used to film

Awesome movie, very enjoyable. The best part is, the Mercedes have the numberplate from my hometown in Germany. WI stands for Wiesbaden. Never noticed it before!
The magic mercedes mirror glued itself back on before leaving the intersection.
Luc Besson make great chases. I love Taxi I and II.
This movie you can watch every day...very good.
500e is one of the craziest car and most badass car ever built. Even though it’s a classic now but I was one of the few people who bought one of these cheap at young age and enjoyed that car.It was truly a great experience that I will never forget.

I recently had two girls my age come by, they though we were going to watch a Christmas movie, we weren’t, I put this movie on, the only time they paid attention was during this chase, it is one of the best chase scenes I have ever seen, no CGI, no goofy fake explosions or crashes (during the chase), just the driving

The most coolest and greatest mid 90s and early 2000s car action high speed chase movie of the year and after that more famous predecessor such like gone in sixty seconds 2000 remake movie from the 70s movie one then the second one is the fast and the furious 1 movie with 2 fast 2 furious,the fast and the furious 3 Tokyo drift.But this one is the best and no ridiculous visual special effect and cgi animation special effect on the movie,the taxi movie series was the best and fun to watch when I'd felt never get bored with it 😂😂😂.Whether is not a Hollywood English language movie from America or England,these one is from the country of French one.
It never gets old!

LOL, I've prolly watched the sequels a million times. But I forgot the original was a classic. Couldn't even remember the Mercs. The sequels stories and jokes though ring to mind. Or perhaps I'm getting too old to remember the original now, since avoiding a rewatch must've been due to memory saturation with it. Makes sense, I prolly had like some potato 360p rip of this in 1999. Since I was a rich kid and had 8/1 ADSL LOL. The computers at the time had a difficult time decoding MPEG2 much less DivX at any decent resolution. An AMD K6-2 400Mhz and no hardware acceleration for video (other than perhaps MPEG2, with bespoke decoder card indeed) could not push much bitrate.Didn't take too long though, for that to change. ROFLMAO. By 2001 it was a 700Mhz Duron overclocked to 1GHz and a Radeon 8500. Which had GPU offloading of video decoding. And CPU could do DivX decode on its own at dazzling DVD 576p quality and 25fps! (Yes, PAL DVDs were 720 × 576. NTSC inferior at 480p and 24fps but US is a developing country so thats normal)
Gonna go rewatch this. It is truly a master piece of french cinema.
As someone who's been fascinated with computers from a young age, I did find what you wrote interesting but I can't help but wonder if you have ADHD?
