The phenomenal success of Taxi 2 cemented the series as a major franchise. It was followed by four more sequels: Taxi 3 in 2003, Taxi 4 in 2007, and Taxi 5 in 2018, all of which continued the adventures of Daniel and Émilien or introduced new characters. The series spawned a video game adaptation for the Game Boy Color, released by Ubisoft in 2000. The franchise was so successful that it even inspired an American remake in 2004, titled Taxi , starring Queen Latifah and Jimmy Fallon. While the remake failed to capture the magic of the original, it is a testament to the strength of Besson's concept. A television series called Taxi Brooklyn also aired in 2014.
