00:04Music

00:14So, the taxi saga

00:16It's true that, from that perspective, one might think there's not much to dig into.

00:18beneath the surface of these productions, which are, admittedly, quite superficial

00:21That's certainly what I told myself when I started writing this video.

00:24Because it's a video I've wanted to make for a while.

00:26And at the same time I kept putting it off because I kept thinking there would be

00:29Nothing to say about the taxi

00:30Well, you should know that there's actually a lot to say about this saga.

00:33There is some positive aspect, despite what one might think.

00:35There are negative aspects, of course, and we'll come back to that.

00:38There are many controversies.

00:39But one thing that stands out most is the overall expertise, particularly in terms of

00:42stunts and action sequences

00:44Because when you watch the making-of videos of the first three films

00:46We realize that there is a real need for coordination and control surrounding the stunts.

00:51Then, of course, there are other films that drown in questionable humor.

00:54Directed by filmmakers who bring nothing particularly appealing to the table.

00:57Taxi is 5 films, 3 directors and more than 30 million viewers spread over 20 years.

01:02Yet no one saw this success coming when the adventure began 27 years ago.

01:06The first taxi was released in 1998

01:08We'll follow Daniel, who's going to leave his job making pizza ivory to become a taxi driver.

01:13And I emphasize the word "reckless driver" because of the unique nature of his profession.

01:17It lies in the speed of his improved Peugeot 406

01:19Which allows it to reach incredible speeds and therefore save its customers precious time

01:23The problem is that the road, well, it's not a racetrack.

01:25And one fine day he'll find himself doing 200 km/h in the city with a passenger who will turn out to be...

01:29to be Emilien

01:29A somewhat incompetent cop who will use this infraction to force Daniel to work with him

01:34In order to stop a gang of German robbers nicknamed the Mercedes gang

01:37So we're dealing with a very classic body movie.

01:40But this will prove to be extremely effective thanks to the chemistry between two characters who are complete opposites.

01:44The narrative will rely on this structure

01:46Daniel, the self-assured, intelligent driver, allergic to authority

01:50Who meets Emilien, a clumsy cop who lives with his mother

01:53Constantly overwhelmed by events

01:55The two will eventually complement each other and become friends.

01:57And it is this association that will constitute the narrative engine of the film

02:00Everything is built around that

02:01This whole story about robbers is just a pretext for a series of chases and gags.

02:05Which will accentuate the difference between the two characters

02:08Dynamics are universal

02:09And in my opinion, that's where the film's success lies.

02:11A film directed by Gérard Pierès

02:13Who has already proven that he knows how to combine comedy and action

02:15Including the Knights of the Sky, double zero

02:18And who also made a name for himself in advertising

02:20With this James Bond parody in particular

02:22Who is promoting the 205 GTI?

02:23And where we can already see glimpses of what Taxi will be like

02:27I almost waited

02:29Caution is advised due to the slippery roads.

02:31205 GTI, more GTI than ever

02:35Because yes, Taxi is a comedy

02:36But it's also action.

02:38And that's what will be the film's strength.

02:40I love the way they're going to introduce the car to us.

02:42And its capabilities

02:43With an almost video game-like appearance

02:44We're a bit slow here, but as soon as we get on the motorway

02:46It's going to run better

02:47Oh, okay then.

02:48The editing is not for nothing

02:50And the César awarded to editor Véronique Lange for this film was well deserved.

02:53She manages to perfectly enhance the famous Peugeot 406

02:56Who will obviously occupy a central place in the saga

02:58It's based on the same principle as Batman and his Batmobile

03:01The two are inseparable.

03:02And Daniel is going to turn this ordinary vehicle into an exceptional machine.

03:05This will enhance a certain fantasy

03:08And to make the car instantly recognizable even if you haven't seen the movie

03:10In fact, there will be six taxis on set.

03:13The 406 Super Touring

03:15French Champion in 1999 and 2000

03:17Who will be used in the chase scenes?

03:19A basic 406

03:20One used simply for transformation scenes

03:22A fourth one to film the customized interior

03:24A fifth one with a right-hand drive

03:26In order to film Samina Siri

03:27Simulating fast driving while a professional driver takes care of driving it

03:31And one last one serving as a camera car

03:33The city of Marseille will also contribute to the film's identity.

03:35Yet it was Paris that was chosen initially.

03:37But for budgetary reasons

03:38And because of the permits to film the stunts

03:40They are easier to obtain outside the capital

03:43The film moves very quickly to the south

03:44A good choice, since Marseille is now inextricably linked to the saga.

03:47And it will allow for all the slightly crazy stunts in the film.

03:49Pileups will even become a signature

03:51Offering pure moments of slapstick

03:53I identified the car

03:54I repeat, we note

03:58I identified the car from Camp Lisse

04:01On board were 4 highly trained men

04:02But also some real action moments

04:04In the purest tradition of Belmondo's cinema

04:06He, too, knew how to play with cars in his time.

04:08When the film was released, its success far exceeded expectations.

04:11With 6,500,000 admissions

04:12It became one of the most profitable films in French cinema.

04:15And a true phenomenon

04:16The then-unknown cast became indispensable

04:18A certain Marion Cotillard in particular

04:20Even the film's soundtrack will surpass 600,000 records sold

04:23And platinum certified

04:24Behind this success is a man you know well.

04:26Luc Besson

04:27The man of all records in French cinema

04:29But also the man of all controversies

04:30He claims to be the creator behind this story

04:32But upon the film's release, screenwriter Gérard Dardé

04:35And police inspector Pierre Krombeck

04:37They will file a complaint for plagiarism.

04:38They accuse the director of Léon

04:39By stealing the plot of their script

04:41They called it a false start

04:42A screenplay submitted to the authors' union

04:44And composers in 1994

04:46Several sequences from the film are also

04:48Heavily inspired by this scenario

04:49And that's not the only plagiarism accusation.

04:51Besson will receive

04:52He's actually quite a regular.

04:53The most famous one is the one worn by John Carpenter.

04:55Who accused Besson in 2012?

04:57For having used his screenplay for New York 1997

04:59For the film Lockout

05:00Of which he is the screenwriter

05:01Carpenter won the lawsuit

05:03Not forgetting the controversy surrounding Arthur Curse

05:06A horror spin-off of Arthur and the Minimoys

05:08After the film's release

05:09Students from the city school

05:10Founded by Luc Besson

05:11And involved in the project as part of their training

05:13Several testimonies were given.

05:15Referring to difficult working conditions

05:17They describe a plateau marked by a failing organization.

05:19And an overall lack of experience

05:21Furthermore, a young student filmmaker

05:23Also at the Besson school

05:24He emphasized the concept of the film

05:26It presented disturbing similarities

05:27Along with that of a short film

05:29Which he had achieved 5 years earlier

05:30And with Talia Besson, of course.

05:32Luc's daughter in the lead role

05:33But even if with them it

05:35It wouldn't be a big deal, to be honest.

05:36We can also point out the accusations

05:38Psychological harassment

05:39Unfair dismissal

05:40Through his production company

05:41Europa Corp

05:42And sexual violence as well

05:44Particularly worn by the actress

05:45Sanne Van Roy

05:46That we will see

05:47In Taxi 5

05:48A complaint that was dismissed.

05:50After several years

05:50From a fierce battle by the young woman

05:52So that justice may be done

05:53I should point out, moreover

05:54A dismissal does not mean acquittal.

05:56Words matter

05:57And to make the transition to Taxi 2

05:59I will also talk about the tragedy

06:00What happened during the filming of the movie?

06:01Where a member of the team lost his life

06:03The filming of Taxi 2 is taking place

06:05During the summer of 1999

06:06This scene that we see in the film

06:08And which is filmed using computer-generated imagery.

06:10Originally intended to be filmed

06:11Live-action footage

06:12For the purposes of this scene

06:13The production company obtains approval from the police headquarters.

06:15Authorization to stop traffic

06:16On a section of the Boulevard des Maréchaux in Paris

06:18August 16, 1999

06:20As can be seen in the film

06:21The sequence anticipates the taxi

06:23Emerging from a tunnel

06:23Get a running start on a ramp

06:25Rises into the air

06:26Cross two positioned tanks

06:27Across the road

06:28Then it falls back onto an impact zone

06:30Made of mattresses and cardboard boxes

06:31At 9:30

06:32A first attempt is filmed

06:34But the jump proves insufficient

06:35The vehicle touches the ground

06:36Before the reception area

06:37Rémi Julienne

06:38The stunt coordinator

06:39He then decides to modify

06:40The parameters of the jump

06:41By raising the ski jump

06:42And by increasing the speed of the taxi

06:44But during this second attempt

06:45The opposite effect occurs

06:46The taxi passes the reception area

06:48Unable to stop in time

06:49He slips on the road

06:51And collides with two members of the team

06:52Cameraman Alain Dutartre

06:53Mortally wounded

06:54And the prop master Jean-Michel Barr

06:56Seriously injured in the legs

06:58With three months of incapacity for work

06:59The stuntman behind the wheel

07:00He is also injured

07:01Resulting in temporary disability

07:03Two months

07:03Filming is immediately suspended

07:05He will only resume a week later

07:07But neither the prefecture

07:08Neither the town hall nor the mayor agrees to authorize

07:10A new filming

07:10At the Dauphine Gate

07:11According to some witnesses

07:12The film's director

07:13He then expressed a profound feeling

07:15Guilt

07:16And a state of intense psychological distress

07:18Legal proceedings are initiated.

07:19And it will extend until 2011

07:21As the investigation unfolded

07:22Luc Besson and Rémi Julienne

07:23They disagree on responsibilities

07:25Rémi Julienne claims to have identified

07:27This sequence is considered particularly risky.

07:28Before filming

07:29He mentions a lack of budget

07:30And time to prepare his stunts

07:32According to him

07:32This warning was not followed by any action.

07:34By the exclusive producer

07:35Working for Europacorp

07:37Luc Besson

07:38So, producer and screenwriter

07:39He completely disclaims any responsibility for this story.

07:41Put the stunt coordinator in charge as much as possible.

07:43And emerges completely exonerated

07:45And it won't be the last time.

07:46On the set of Taxi 3

07:47A stuntwoman loses the use of her legs

07:49After a chase

07:50Which went wrong

07:51She will denounce a lack of organization

07:52Evident on set

07:53She will fight for years

07:55To have any hope of obtaining compensation

07:57No longer able to work

07:58But Luc Besson

07:59He will prefer to sue him

08:00For defamation

08:01So that's all for Luc Besson.

08:02And I stayed on the surface, of course.

08:04I'll let you find out for yourself.

08:05More details about the man

08:06If you're interested

08:07And as for us

08:08Let's move on to Taxi 2

08:19Taxi 2 is a pretty strange movie, though.

08:21I mean, the timeline is very strange.

08:23Because it happens over a single unit of time

08:25So short

08:26That we get the impression

08:26It's just an extremely long scene in the end

08:29Especially since the film is only one hour and twenty minutes long.

08:30This will amplify that feeling tenfold.

08:32Even if it's not so bad

08:33That the film lasts one hour and twenty minutes, obviously

08:35And above all, Taxi 2 is Taxi 1 on supercharged.

08:38Some sequences are starting to become a little improbable.

08:40The car almost becomes a fantastical element.

08:42I have an unidentified object

08:50We are approaching runway number 1

08:52The waterfalls are now part of

08:53In a sort of deliberately cartoonish style

08:55The readability and the physical sensation of pursuit have disappeared

08:58This leaves room for more grandiose plans.

09:00With some not-so-pretty digital effects

09:02In short, the whole film is about one-upmanship.

09:04Humor is also much more visual

09:06Even more farcical

09:07The characters' traits are accentuated even further.

09:09The payoff setups don't serve the narrative.

09:11But the joke

09:12I have requested a transfer

09:13I'm going up to Paris

09:17So hard

09:30This whole story about the Japanese triad is just a pretext.

09:33And that's perhaps what the film is missing.

09:35An identified antagonist

09:36Like in the first taxi

09:37Ouch ouch ouch ouch

09:38If he goes on the highway he's dead

09:39We have more power

09:41And if some jokes hit the mark

09:43Many others will unfortunately prove to be excessively troublesome.

09:46The problem is that all of this is quite astonishingly boorish.

09:50The blatant racism directed at Japanese people is frankly disturbing.

10:04And romantic relationships aren't any better.

10:06I mean, at no point did Daniel and Lily manage to speak to each other without making an allusion.

10:10to sex

10:15Screenplay by Luc Besson

10:16In short, Taxi 2 is a sequel that maintains a well-oiled machine.

10:19Who takes no risks

10:20The film was part of Europa Corp's strategy at the time.

10:22Made of action entertainment

10:24Easily adaptable

10:25Easily exportable

10:26Meeting the expectations of the general public

10:28And therefore very profitable

10:29And it will prove to be worthwhile.

10:30Since this sequel is the biggest success of the saga

10:32With over 10 million cinema admissions

10:34So, logically, in 2003 we tried again with a new taxi

10:37And I know there aren't many people who like Taxi 3

10:39But I have a rather personal history with this film.

10:42I can still see myself as a child

10:43Trying to pull all-nighters with my cousin

10:45By playing the film on a loop on our old CRT television

10:48With built-in VHS player

10:49Does this mean that my passion for cinema began with Taxi 3?

10:53I'm not going to answer yes because you're going to unsubscribe.

10:55But let's just say I have a hard time hating this movie.

10:57Now you know that I like nuance

10:59And I'm going to sprinkle in quite a few examples during this analysis.

11:01Because yes, we're still dealing with something very poorly written.

11:04Extremely awkward at times

11:05I mean, we have Emilien who is literally raped in the movie

11:09And his pretexts for humor

11:10And I'm not going to explain why that's a problem.

11:12I consider you intelligent enough to discover it for yourself.

11:14The taxi has become a science fiction object.

11:16Who is hiding those enormous snow-covered tracks? We don't really know how.

11:19Who runs on pastis

11:20One improbable situation after another unfolds.

11:22The characters show no development.

11:24Worse than that, their archetypes are accentuated.

11:26Daniel is becoming increasingly perceptive

11:28When Emilien becomes increasingly stupid

11:29Consequently, this total lack of narrative development

11:31Starts to wear out the general concept

11:33But despite everything

11:35Well, there are some good things about this film.

11:37The introduction is already so cool

11:38With this group on rollerblades who are chasing

11:41Sylvester Stallone

11:42Okay, very good.

11:43That was the time when he needed money.

11:44Then there's Daniel's famous race to get to the airport as quickly as possible.

11:47Then that James Bond-style opening sequence

11:49And one might have believed in a scenario along the lines of

11:51Not at all

11:52We are still facing Emilien

11:53Who fails to do their job properly

11:55And who's going to call their taxi driver friend?

11:56Now the character from the film

11:58It's still Commissioner Gibert

12:00With Bernard Farsi completely off the leash

12:02Famous

12:03Which offers us pure moments of comedy

12:04The scene of the meeting at the police station

12:06It's a gem.

12:07It's simple

12:07He elevates the film with each of his appearances.

12:10He has a pretty amazing sense of rhythm

12:12He places his dialogues at the right time

12:13He has an incredibly infectious energy.

12:15Brief

12:16It's time for a little best-of compilation.

12:17I wanted to spend a few days shadowing a high-ranking commissioner

12:20And I was told you were the greatest

12:22Well, that is to say, it's somewhat true.

12:23Because at 1.92m it's quite tall

12:25For the police, that's rare, you know.

12:28Wow, that's impressive!

12:29Me too, sometimes in the morning in the ice

12:32I always impress myself personally

12:35I want perfection

12:36Impeccable

12:37Clean

12:38Super clean

12:39Because last summer

12:40I did an internship with the American police

12:43That's why I still have some language reflexes.

12:45That's crazy!

12:48Yes

12:49What do you mean you're a genius?

12:50No, that's nothing, just a little talent.

12:51There is a gift at the start, I've thought about it, it's true

12:53But it's mainly a question of training.

12:56And when you watch the making-of of the film

12:58We realize that there is also real expertise in managing waterfalls.

13:01Everyone needs to do their part.

13:02When you see what the stuntwomen and stuntmen in the film have to do

13:05For example, to carry out this simple plan

13:07It was a real puzzle.

13:08When the taxi parks in front of the pharmacy

13:11It's a little bit violent

13:13It's a tiny bit

13:15More violent than expected

13:22Something we are often forced to do

13:24It's like putting gasoline on the tires

13:26So that it slides

13:28Overinflate the tires

13:29To be able to slide it

13:31Because otherwise she won't slide

13:32And then this is what happened

13:33I don't know

13:34There was something

13:35That's because we're in Marseille.

13:38So we're stuck

13:39He takes his run-up

13:39He really has a great head-to-the-ass to do

13:43And it slipped way too much

13:52That wasn't planned.

13:59Anyway, even if I had wanted to do another take

14:01I couldn't

14:02Because the car

14:02She's not going to fix it in fifteen minutes.

14:04So we kept the grip

14:05Which is quite funny, actually.

14:06Because the car

14:07She hits the sidewalk

14:08And then she gets up

14:10The music of this work

14:11It is also particularly successful

14:13The sound during the ski chase

14:15It's really great

14:15And if we remove the implausibility of the moment

14:17Well, I think the scene is pretty cool.

14:18Which is reminiscent of the ski chase

14:20In On Her Majesty's Secret Service

14:21So there is indeed

14:23A nod to James Bond in this film

14:24Then the taxi there

14:25It's not fake

14:26There really is a guy

14:26Who descends a mountain in 406

14:28Brief

14:28I still find it better than the previous installment.

14:30And success continues.

14:31Since more than 6 million people

14:33They will go to the cinema to see the film

14:34I actually find it crazy

14:35The consistency of this saga in terms of success

14:37For now

14:37Regarding the figures

14:38It's quite impressive

14:39But from there

14:40Taxi has reached its peak

14:42And he inevitably cannot

14:43What to go back down

14:45Good

14:45That's when things really start to lose momentum.

14:47The formula is repeated for the fourth time

14:49Without the slightest change

14:50You can feel the weight of the years

14:51On the backs of the characters

14:52But absolutely no progress

14:54Daniel is practically non-existent

14:56Just like the taxi that's just there for show

14:57There are no chase scenes

14:59Worthy of the name

15:00And when there are some

15:00It lacks readability

15:01Impact

15:02The difference between the authenticity of the first film

15:05And the implausibility of this fourth

15:06Is quite remarkable

15:08I mean

15:08The transformation of the car

15:09Don't even try to be realistic anymore

15:11Emilien will push his level of incompetence even further.

15:13Towards extremes

15:14To justify the advance

15:15From such a bad story

15:16We're following this Belgian mega-criminal

15:18Who robs banks

15:19And who finally pulls out his costume?

15:21From Tony Montana

15:21And that's saying something.

15:22Because the climax is about to start all over again

15:24The codes of Scarface

15:25To serve us this poorly made parody

15:27With a Gibert under the influence of cocaine

15:28He too is losing his luster

15:30And becomes a mere parody of himself

15:31So much less funny than in the previous films

15:33The only positive point

15:34This is François Damien

15:35Who is the only somewhat funny actor in the film?

15:38Oh, well, thank you boys.

15:39Eh ?

15:40Brief

15:41This is clearly one film too many.

15:42So for some

15:43You're going to tell me

15:43This is one film too many since the second installment.

15:45But really

15:45We have a saga that's running out of steam.

15:47With a film that resembles a kind of giant advertisement

15:49Who comes with difficulty to glean

15:51These last euros

15:52In order to replenish the meal funds

15:54Now 4.5 million admissions

15:56It's not disgusting at all.

15:57And it wasn't a sure thing.

15:58Given the disastrous communication surrounding the film

16:00Marion Cotillard is already out

16:01Who decides to put an end to the franchise

16:03But above all

16:04Samy Nasseri is going to make a name for himself.

16:05Because he is simply absent

16:06From the film's communication

16:07Samy Nasseri did not appear

16:09In no show

16:10Alongside the other cast members

16:11It's simply

16:12Because he was serving

16:13At this same time

16:14A prison sentence

16:15The actor had been sentenced

16:16A 6-month prison sentence

16:17And an 8,000 euro fine

16:18In December 2006

16:19For contempt

16:19And racist insult

16:21Towards the police

16:21A sanction

16:22Who then deprived the film's promotion?

16:23Of its main actor

16:24Perhaps he was rehearsing

16:25The dialogues from the film at the end

16:26We don't know

16:29And there will be others

16:31Controversies surrounding Samy Nasseri

16:32Which will happen little by little

16:33Burying one's career

16:34And the taxi saga

16:35At the same time

16:36For 11 years

16:37We won't hear about it anymore.

16:38From the franchise

16:38Then in 2018

16:39Frank Gaston Bide

16:41Which lives up to its name

16:42Decides to dust

16:43The old 406

16:44In order to reshape the saga

16:45In his image

16:48The production of Taxi 5

16:50It is part of a context

16:51Quite unusual

16:52Because the saga has come to a standstill

16:53For over a decade

16:54Marked by creative wear and tear

16:55Human tensions

16:56We just saw it

16:57And a profound change

16:58From the cinematic landscape

16:59Whether it is French

17:00Or international

17:01It's a time for nostalgia.

17:02We'll take what worked

17:04And do it again

17:05Not as good

17:05But we make sure anyway.

17:07From a fairly substantial income

17:08Thanks to perception

17:09From the spectator

17:10Who can't help

17:11To go and stir up his memories

17:12Of children and teenagers

17:13And that's kind of to talk

17:14Of this kind of film

17:14That this format exists

17:16You know

17:16One sequel too many

17:17There are very few franchises

17:18Those who haven't experienced it

17:19Here we are in the same dynamic

17:21A soft reboot

17:22Whose ambition

17:23To relaunch a franchise

17:24But who doesn't arrive

17:24To break away from the heritage

17:25From the latter

17:26Because of fanservice

17:27Too present

17:28We therefore have a hybrid object

17:29Who will start from scratch

17:30But who's going to give us a best-of?

17:31Literal from the old films

17:32In the middle of the story

17:33Who puts forward

17:34New heroes

17:35But who wanted to bring back

17:36The former cast

17:37To play the unnecessary cameo card

17:38That's the short story.

17:39He told me

17:40So you know how it goes

17:41Uh

17:46You'll explain it to us on the phone.

17:48You're retired

17:49You're by a swimming pool

17:50In Miami

17:51And you explain it to us over the phone

17:54How do we do it?

17:54To stop the Italians

17:56Because the thieves

17:56It's the Italians.

18:21At this point, it's pretty clear.

18:23Reviving the saga

18:24It does not stem from an artistic desire

18:25We're operating on a commercial basis.

18:27The name taxi still exists

18:28In collective memory

18:29He evokes a time of success

18:30For popular French entertainment

18:32And yet the public

18:33He did not show up.

18:34For this taxi 5

18:35This is the weakest installment

18:36In terms of box office

18:37And that makes sense.

18:38Because outside

18:38Of everything I come

18:39To list you

18:40The film is so poor

18:41Abyssal

18:42At all levels

18:43So much so that the only scene

18:44A little bit funny

18:46And that's because

18:47I have a shitty sense of humor

18:47It's Jiber who sings about djoule

18:49She has a look that silences

18:51Chiquita

18:52Long hair like Nikita's

18:53If she doesn't leave me

18:55I'm not leaving her

18:58She has a look that silences

19:00Chiquita

19:00Take, for example, just

19:01The dynamic between the two protagonists

19:03In other films

19:04The relationship between Daniel and Emilien

19:05Based on the gap

19:06What separates them

19:07A guy who's a bit clever on one side

19:08A slightly stupid guy on the other

19:09It's easier to pass the buck.

19:11This leads to what we call

19:12Alchemy

19:13Here we have two idiots

19:14And it breaks completely

19:15The dynamics of the duo

19:16The script doesn't take itself too seriously.

19:17And picks up the plot of the first film

19:19By replacing the Mercedes

19:20By Ferrari

19:21The action scenes are unwatchable.

19:22And as for humor

19:23It would be too complicated to explain to you

19:25So I'll leave you now

19:27And the dwarf over there

19:28It's standard practice in the police force.

19:32She is beautiful

19:34Yes, yes, yes

19:37Whoa!

19:39Don't touch her

19:40She's my girlfriend, okay?

19:41You don't want her

19:42What do you want?

19:43I will protect her

19:44You don't stroke its pistil

19:45So, you little faggots

19:47We do this, we ask for a marriage

19:48Jokes about fat people

19:49About the dwarves

19:50Vomit

19:51Poop

19:52Anything you want

19:53That's great!

19:53It's pure pleasure

19:54This is what we've been reduced to.

19:56Luc Besson today

19:56Who managed to almost sink

19:58One of the biggest production companies in the world

20:00With shitty movies

20:01So I know it's a video

20:02A bit critical of Luc Besson

20:03And I'm sorry if you like it.

20:04But I think he's an artist.

20:05Of poor quality

20:06Who has had one or two moments of grace

20:08Or rather, who was lucky

20:09To be well surrounded at times

20:10And who continues to make films

20:12Finally

20:12Who continues to copy the neighbor

20:14Despite all the accusations against him

20:16Brief

20:16I believe Mosey North

20:17Wasn't very far from the truth in the end

20:19So Luc Besson

20:20Tell us

20:20What's the magic formula?

20:21To produce a successful film

20:23The hero must

20:24It needs to be strong

20:25And that he protects a girl

20:27Against the bad guys

20:28And there you have it.

20:29You think we're idiots?

20:32I think it's you

20:33Who writes the scripts?

20:34I use a computer

20:35Oh yeah?

20:36It's a generator

20:37Random scenarios

20:39It comes from the States

20:41And there you have it.

20:41A taxi driver protects a prostitute in the suburbs

20:43That's not a bad idea, actually.

20:47Regarding taxis

20:48The saga will at least have had the merit

20:50To demonstrate French know-how

20:51In terms of cascade

20:52She brought out talents

20:53Like Marion Cotillard

20:54Or even Bernard Farsi

20:55And above all, it's a saga

20:56Who at a specific moment

20:57He was able to make a difference

20:58Without transcending the genre

21:00And who today belongs

21:01Definitely

21:02In the past
