Taxi Movie Watch Order in the correct order

How to watch the Taxi movies in order

Last updated: November 14 2026

Taxi is France's favourite high-speed action-comedy franchise, with five films and a Hollywood remake, so a watch order guide helps keep the pedal down.

Written and produced by Luc Besson, the original Taxi follows Daniel, a speed-obsessed Marseille cab driver played by Samy Naceri, and Émilien, a hapless cop played by Frédéric Diefenthal who can't drive. Together they chase down a gang of German bank robbers in Daniel's souped-up white Peugeot. The film's breezy chases launched a hit series, an American remake and a 2018 reboot-sequel led by Franck Gastambide.

🕐 Release Order

Here are all the Taxi films in release order.

  1. Taxi (1998)
  2. Taxi 2 (2000)
  3. Taxi 3 (2003)
  4. Taxi (American remake) (2004)
  5. Taxi 4 (2007)
  6. Taxi 5 (2018)

The American remake sits outside the main continuity, so the story chronology looks slightly different.

📖 Story Chronology

The French films form one continuous story, with Taxi 5 introducing new lead Sylvain Marot alongside returning characters, while the 2004 remake starring Queen Latifah and Jimmy Fallon moves the premise to New York.

  1. Taxi (1998)
  2. Taxi 2 (2000)
  3. Taxi 3 (2003)
  4. Taxi 4 (2007)
  5. Taxi 5 (2018)
  6. Taxi – American remake (2004)

Which Order Should You Choose?

Watch the French films in order, starting with the 1998 original; Taxi 2 is widely considered the high point for its Paris chases. Save the American remake for last, or skip it entirely if you want only the Marseille-set saga.
