Given its rarity, here is your realistic roadmap to experiencing this lost dub:

To understand the appeal of the English dub, one must first understand the source material. Taxi was released in France on October 28, 1998. It was the brainchild of legendary French filmmaker Luc Besson, known for serious, stylized hits like Léon: The Professional and The Fifth Element . With Taxi , Besson (who served as producer and writer) wanted to create something lighter, faster, and purely entertaining.

Fans who own the rare English dubbed DVD report that the audio was mixed poorly. The engine sounds (the glorious Peugeot 406) are often louder than the voices, or the ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement) is slightly out of sync. Many fans have opted to create their own "fan-dubs" or sync the rare audio track to HD video files.
