Trivia
This is a remake of a very successful series of French movies, also called "Taxi". Queen Latifah's character was originally a man, and her Ford was a Peugeot. See more...
Continuity: When Washburn is trying to get the Daewoo out of the parking spot, there is a leopard print pad on the seat belt strap, and at times the strap moves because he is bumping the cars in front of and behind him. However, when Belle gets out of the passenger side and tells him to move over the position of the leopard print pad changes from on his shoulder in the wide shot, to behind his shoulder during close up, to back on his shoulder in their wide shot.
Continuity: This happens towards the end of the film, when the bank robbers are about to change the girl for the money. When they begin to make the change we can see that at first the side rear windows of the BMW on the driver's side of the cab are up. In the next shot however, the windows are rolled down and immediately after that, in the next shot, they're up again. After that they disappear and don't show again.
Other: When the taxi and the BMW are driving down the alley, the robbers are trying to escape, the cop is running after them on foot, they reach the end of the alley the BMW takes off but the taxi stops for the cop and he shows up shortly after. There is no way he could've caught up to them that fast. Not unless he can run at 30mph.
Continuity: When Latifah is let go from her first interrogation, Jimmy Fallon runs out after her with a pretzel in his hand. She gets angry and pushes him against the wall. In one shot he is still holding the pretzel,and then the next shot Latifah is, and then the next shot no one is. It's not on the ground after so they didn't drop it.
Factual error: The scene where the BMW's jump the bridge and get caught on the other side couldn't happen as they showed it. If you trace the arc at which they should have traveled, they both should have either hit the edge and fallen, or lifted slightly and had the bottom of the car get caught for a split-second and flip the cars into a spiral. Also, what they show the cars landing as was probably the cars launching off a small ramp, you can even see them go slightly up before they hit.
Factual error: There are many police interactions that would not take place in reality. For example. (1) All officers would be trained in vehicle use. Failure to be able to handle the vehicle would result in termination. He would have been booted from the academy. (2) When an officer is suspended, the badge, ID AND weapon are all removed by the officer in charge. In this case, only the badge was taken. (3) The officer in charge would likely only have the option of offering suspension without pay pending an emergency suspension hearing with a recommendation for termination. She could not fire him on the spot. Also, once officially fired, based on the merits of the inappropriate activities, he could not be taken back, regardless of the good deeds - past, present or future.
Continuity: In the scene where Washburn and the other undercover cop are attempting to buy calling cards from the Cubans, Washburn asks for the guy hiding in the other room to come out. The guy does come out, and he leaves the door open to the room he was just in. The next few shots go back and forth between Washburn and the head Cuban guy facing the two other Cubans. Each time they show these two guys, the door behind them is open. After they all stop laughing, they show the guys again, and the door is closed. In the next shot, the head Cuban guy yells that Washburn is a cop, and runs through the now open again door.
