Taxi 2 is a 2000 French movie directed by Gérard Krawczyk. It is a sequel to Taxi written by Luc Besson and directed by Gérard Pirès in 1998. It was followed by Taxi 3 in 2003.
Plot
Taxi 2 tells the story of a Japanese ambassador visiting Marseille 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 (played by Frédéric Diefenthal) is determined to rescue the ambassador and officer Petra (Emma Sjöberg) (his girlfriend), who was also kidnapped, and restore the honor of his department. Once again, speed demon taxi-driver Daniel (Samy Naceri) is called upon to save the day with his high-speed driving skills.
Accident
A cameraman was killed and his assistant badly injured during the filming of the movie when a stunt went badly wrong. This was a career setback for veteran stunt coordinator Remy Julienne, who accused the production company of cutting corners on safety, which Besson has publicly denied.External links
