This fifth work in the cult saga begun by Luc Besson in 1998 serves as both a sequel and a reboot. Abandoned by these two stars, Samy Naceri (who had rejected the offer to appear in the film), and Frédéric Diefenthal, this film presents Franck Gastambide in the role of a “Parisian super cop” and exceptional pilot, who is transferred against his will to the Marseille Municipal Police. It is in the city of Marseille that he meets Eddy Maklouf, played by Malik Bentalha, the worst VTC driver in Marseille, and great-grandson of Daniel Moralès.
Both will have to ally themselves at the request of the former commissioner Gibert (again played by Bernard Farcy, who did not appreciate this experience), who has become mayor of the city, to corner the formidable “gang of Italians”, who wander around the jewelers of Marseille at steering wheel of powerful Ferraris.
Uploaded to Netflix France on April 1, Taxis 5 it quickly entered the top 10 most watched films. At the time of writing it is in second place.
Is there a sequel planned?
The Taxi saga includes five films, which have collectively attracted more than 31 million viewers. This is one of the most popular sagas in French cinema. This fifth part attracted 3.6 million spectators in theaters, the lowest score of the saga, although it remains honorable.
Regarding a Taxi 6, Franck Gastambide told our colleagues in 2022 of Tele-leisure that a sequel wasn’t on the cards, even if nothing was turned down in the future. On his part, Malik Bentalha, had been more directa few months later, entrusting it to our colleaguesAlloCinéthat a sixth film was not in preparation:
We got out of the taxi to have fun, to have a little childhood dream, but no, it will stop on the 5th
he has declared.
