Video: Scooter Delivery Guy in Taxi

[Golden_Eternity]

I saw this on the CEII forum, and I guess it may be making the rounds... Looks like the opening sequence for a french movie.

Jgy posted that one on the chatter box earlier. That guy kicks all kind of ass. :D

I love the spark action.

I noticed a familure name in the opening credits... the guy that directed La Fem Nakita and 5th Element.

Anyway the film is Taxi, Luc Besson wrote the screen play and it was a huge hit in France:

I showed this to some coworkers, and someone mentioned they had seen Taxi and Taxi 2 while they were in France. I gotta dig up a copy!

[Shizznid]

OK, that is the coolest shit I have ever seen. I'm selling my SV and buying a scooter.

(And moving to France, and buying some tennis shoes, and having my frontal lobe removed, and delivering pizza's)

[NukleoN]

Damn what a dismount! Try that at your local bike gathering. :)

Whats the deal with that site?
They burn DVDs and sell them?
They have movies that are still in the theater....

Is it legal?


EDIT: I did some research on them (whois) and it looks to be out of malaysia, so a piracy thing of course. Also some posts from google groups say the quality on their DVDs is sub-par.

Has any one ordered DVD's from this place??

They have whats in the theaters NOW for only $8 bucks:confused:

There has to be some catch??

[doub1etap]

That movie has some great scenes. I never thought the older boxy mercedes looked very sporty until I saw them in this movie. Now I want a red one.

WHY DOES IT ALWAYS KEEP BUFFERING!! AHHH!:sad:

I'm better...

Seriously, I can never watch these videos because it will never just play continuously without buffering every 3 seconds. Very annoying...

Does anyone know how I can prevent this?

Did you save the video to your local drive first? (ie, right click on the link, select save target as, then open/play the file) If that's still causing problem, then maybe you don't have a fast enough computer.

[Kurt'sSV]

Wow! I bet that guy gets the pizza to you while it's still hot.

[Mapuda]

Luc Besson Rules! Here is what IMDB says (http://us.imdb.com/Title?0152930)

Not that you guys are interested, but Giselle Bunchen is acting for her first time in this movie...

If you don't know who Giselle Bunchen is, go to the nearest victoria secrets store and take a look at her.... of course, she is brazilian... :cool:
