Since we got the film Taxi which will be out (or already is?) in the US... how do you guys think about re-makes? To me, the Taxi-trilogy is kind of a French cult-thing... I've watched a small piece of the 'new' American version and I have to admit that I love the girls in short skirts, but WHY... why does Hollywood has to make it ultra-commercial? Well guys, just check the French version, and compare it to the American one... Greetz |

Do you mean the movie with Fallon and Queen La Tiefa?I didn't think that the movie was a remake of the original Taxi........which I have never seen, either. |

look at the us version of 'la femme nikita'; not even close to the luc besson version. hollywood has gone too far into corporate sponsorship, they'd rather have the actors drinking coke with the label close-up than make a movie that was actually interesting as a movie. the recent emergence of small indie film makers will [i hope] turn this trend around. stuff like 'sky captain and the world of tomorrow' and 'garden state' are far more interesting than the latest he-man shoot-em-up anyday. |

The original is from France, 1997 and (again) made by Luc Besson... Believe me, some pieces are EXACT the same... Greetz |

I just hate hollywood. It is all cliche, and money concentrated. You just have to see the Wall, and look at the difference between hollywood music films! |

Then watch part 1, the 2 sequels (yes, sequels... AGAIN!) are nothing compared to the first movie. Greetz |
