"Taxi Express 5" showcases French humor, winning praise for comedy version of "Quick"


1905 movie network news Drag racing comedy hit theaters across the country last weekend. The film not only fulfilled the wish of the original IP fans to be the first to feed the big screen in 20 years, but also refreshed the awareness of drag racing movies for many new audiences. It won more than 20 million box office in the first week, and also occupied a place in this extremely popular schedule.


It is worth mentioning that the film has achieved a good reputation among the media and film critics, with a 100% recommendation rating from V Tao, and there are also many "China Film Report" and well-known racing drivers who take the initiative to appear and call. The golden signage of the 20-year classic series, the style characteristics of its own school, and the only drag racing comedy genre in the same period make this film bound to climb to a new high in the box office this week.


Distinctive features won praise Comedy version "Quick Excitement" detonates unique refreshing pleasure


This year, the Chinese film market broke through the 40 billion in 217 days. This is not only the credit of Hollywood and Chinese films, but also the "small language" movies with outstanding style and distinctive characteristics are enriching the current screen with stunning gestures. "Taxi Express 5" is the purest French drag racing comedy. With its unique French humor mix and match drag racing, it is obviously different from similar Hollywood films. In the past 20 years, it has created a well-known golden signboard. Stallone made a surprise cameo appearance as a fan in the third installment, and the second one featured a parachute jump section, which was also re-engraved as a tribute.

The fifth installment of the current reboot tells the story of troublesome detective Sylvan and waste wood driver Eddie taking over the sky-defying taxi that runs through the series for 20 years, and battling wits with Italian transnational criminal gangs. Speed, infinite drift, extreme leap, unlocking a variety of unexpected drag racing poses, so that the audience who loves drag racing elements is satisfied and pleasantly surprised. Some viewers said that "the drag racing scene is enough to burn, especially the serial crash and the two sections of the flying car Pengci yacht, which are not too exciting! It is completely comparable to’Fast and Furious’!"


The speeding scenes and dense jokes of "Taxi Express 5" allow the audience to immerse themselves in the novel experience of jumping on wheels. The French humor element is particularly eye-catching, highlighting the difference between the film and similar drag racing movies. As netizens commented, "the brain hole is very big, even the drag racing is full of joy". Segments such as the serial crash of the brain hole breaking through the sky and the meat bomb smashing the car caused the audience to burst into laughter.


French humor highlights complaining and self-deprecating skills, and there is no lack of grassroots care behind the amazing laughter


The French humor in "Taxi Express 5" is cute, stupid and heavy, and even mixed with a little high-energy warning of excrement and fart elements. Young audiences are very receptive, believing that "it is easy to eat immediately after opening the bag", "it can be called a French feast, with dense laughter points, good rhythm, and very smooth drag racing." It was even surprised that many middle-aged and elderly audiences expressed their love for it. "French humor is very special and has a comic effect."


The director and star Frank Guestampeter and his old partner Malik Banzela, who were originally experts in cheap comedy, are completely released this time. The film targets Italians with their complaining skills, which not only allows French Peugeot to win the Italian sports car, but also buries the revenge terrier that Zidane was given a red card in the 2006 World Cup. Inadvertently, it also reflects the reality of the French team winning the championship this year. These Easter egg-style jokes are widely popular, and even some netizens lamented: "French fans can enjoy a Zidane terrier all day when they see it on the big screen." And the self-deprecating skills of French humor are also brought to the extreme. From the mayor and police chief of Marseille, to the special car drivers and police geeks who inherit the genes of drag racing from generation to generation, all have the performance of emotional intelligence rushing and IQ dropping. The audience laughed one after another, "Every actor is using his life to laugh and play tricks, laughing all the way, this is a real comedy blockbuster!".

However, these little people in the market can also do great things, no matter how useless the special car driver can counterattack, and no matter how strange the police officer is, there is also a place for it. This kind of grassroots care is the essence of French humor, just like the battle between grassroots taxis and luxury cars in the film. And this is where the film critic Iris believes the real charm of the film: "While maintaining the visual impact of the drag racing genre film with sensory stimulation as its greatest selling point, deconstructing this high-end popcorn into a laughing and scolding local citizen comedy is the biggest confrontation and satire of Taxi Express 5 to the box office bomb of the drag racing film, and even Hollywood itself." I believe that whether it is purely enjoying the audio-visual of drag racing or having a soft spot for French humor, this film can satisfy your needs for easy decompression when you enter the cinema.


The only drag racing comedy of the summer season, Taxi Express 5, is currently in theaters.
