Taxi 2
Taxi 2 mistake picture

Deliberate mistake: When the chase enters the tunnel blocked on the other end by the tanks, the Yakuza are firing machine guns at Daniel's taxi. The spent ammunition drops straight to the floor as if someone has thrown a handfull of shells. If they were fired from a fast moving car they would scatter all over the place. (01:16:50)

Continuity mistake: When Daniel is being chased by the Yakuzi in their black Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 6s, one of their Lancers crashes into the tanks. The car used for that crash is however a Lancer Evo 4, which is older than the Evo 6, and has a different front bumper, bonnet and rear spoiler. (01:17:25)

Continuity mistake: When Petra is fighting the three ninjas, her thong underwear is white at the beginning of the sequence, but changes to a flesh colour during the scene. (01:08:10)

Continuity mistake: When Daniel arrives at Lilly's house (precisely when he takes the shirt out of the car) stock hubcaps are visible, whereas the car normally has alloy rims. (00:09:10)

Revealing mistake: When Daniel is being chased along the rail tracks, both the Peugeot and the Mitsubishis' wheels change from road wheels to train wheels (with fake tyres on) and then back again when they move back onto the gravel. Clever cars... (01:11:05)

Continuity mistake: When Commissaire Gibert presents the bullet-proof Peugeot, it has smoked windows. When the airbag opens, it has transparent windows, then smoked windows again after that. (00:28:30)

Visible crew/equipment: Lilly and her mother are watching the television at the end of the film. In the close up of her mother there's a shadow moving behind her. They are supposed to be alone. (01:18:25)

Continuity mistake: When Daniel gives Lilly's dad a lift to the airport to meet the arriving guests, he transforms the taxi. We see all the transformation take place, but when he lowers the car down from the gas rams the front spoiler is not there. (00:18:05)

Visible crew/equipment: When Émilien is chasing after the Ninjas on foot, they jump from a bridge onto the top of an orange lorry. The orange crash mats that the 'Ninjas' land on are visible in the overhead shots. (00:47:35)

Plot hole: The bullet-proof car has a vocal recongition system. When they change the pilot for Daniel, it works even with his voice. What's the purpose of such a security system if it can work with everybody?

Other mistake: When the airbags are deployed on the "indestructible" Peugeot they stay inflated, making it difficult to get the driver out of the car. Comedic effect aside, real airbags do not deploy when the vehicle is stationary or hit by a hand on the roof and also begin to deflate immediately after deployment due to the gasses cooling and leaking out of the vent(s) in the bag. A previous correction speculating about modified airbags cannot be proved and is irrelevant as they are a legal safety feature of the vehicle and cannot be modified.

Video

Factual error: The Lancer that gets lost on the train tracks can't come back into Paris the way it did by taking the metro, as the Paris metro is not connected to the railways. Also, if the movie depicts it going out at Trocadéro, the station is on lines 6 and 9. However, the sign to enter the metro shows the station connects with lines 2, 5 and 8 - no such station exists in Paris.

Trivia: The producer, Luc Besson, makes a cameo appearance as the man whose boat is destroyed by the stray missile. (00:37:35)
