Trivia

  • Gisele Bündchen’s debut.
  • Almost all shots in which you see the taxi or other cars in the street, or car stunts performed in the streets, were really filmed in Los Angeles, not New York.
  • This movie is based on the French movie Taxi 
  • In an ongoing parody of a standard scene in action movies, Jimmy Fallon inserts his pistol’s magazine and racks the slide to load it. He does this over and over, although the pistol was obviously loaded the first time.
