Taxi is a 2003 French action-comedy that is the third installment in the Taxi film series. Written and produced by Luc Besson and directed by Gérard Krawczyk and set in Marseille, Christmas 2003, the film finds Comissaire Gibert (Bernard Farcy) and Émilien (Frédéric Diefenthal) having to face a new gang: the Santa Claus gang, which members are all disguised in Santa Claus, when Qiu (Bai Ling), a reporter, joins the french Police.
The following weapons were used in the film Taxi 3:
WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Handguns
Desert Eagle Mark I
Before the intro, starring, Sylvester Stallone as a cameo, a kid is seen with a Desert Eagle Mark I when Stallone tries to steal their skateboards. Hard to see, but the safety lever matches better the Mark I than the Mark VII. The muzzle size also matches better to a .357 Magnum. During the James Bond style opening titles, several Desert Eagle are seen, both wielded by Émilien or displayed on the background. It is however not possible to identify the version.
Ruger Super Redhawk
Before the intro, starring Sylvester Stallone as a cameo, two kid are seen with Ruger Super Redhawk when Stallone tries to steal their skateboards.
Colt Python (?)
Before the intro, starring Sylvester Stallone as a cameo, a kid is seen with a revolver when Stallone tries to steal their skateboards. Not quite sure, but it looks like a classic Colt Python.
Walther P99
During the James Bond style opening title, Daniel is seen holding a Walther P99 fitted with a fake suppressor (too thin to be real). Not sure, but I think a policeman is also seen holding one. If it's not a P99, I don't know what gun it could be.
SIG-Sauer P228
Émilien's issued weapon is a SIG-Sauer P228 which is mostly seen at the beggining, and holstered for the rest of the movie. Extra: the P228 is also seen during the James Bond style opening credits, where Émilien poorly draws it and drops it on the ground, instead of shooting the camera.
Manufrance Le Français
When Émilien browses the Police's firearms database, a Manufrance Le Français is seen.
Manurhin F1
Several Manurhin F1 revolvers are seen, mostly as the issued weapon of Gibert (Bernard Farcy), Alain (Edouard Montoute) and some other policemen.
