Yep, just like Taxi, this second installment offers up a hotchpotch of muddy slapstick, sloppy stunts, borderline-offensive stereotypes and semi-clad babes that would make Steve Guttenberg's heart swell with pride. You even get Frédéric Diefenthal essaying a fair impersonation of The Gutt as the cretinous French copper forced once again to turn to his loopy taxi-driving mate Samy Naceri for help when ninjas - - yes, ninjas - - kidnap his leggy German girlfriend (oh, and the Japanese ambassador). It's very silly stuff.
