Taxi
A quick‑witted New York cabbie teams up with a rookie cop to track down a daring crew of Brazilian bank robbers before they strike again, putting his street smarts against deadly crime and police bureaucracy.
“Take a Ride on the Wild Side.”
Synopsis
A brash and talkative taxicab driver provides valuable information to an inexperienced and eager New York City police officer investigating a series of bank robberies. The crimes are being carried out by a group of four female Brazilian robbers.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

✅ Made its money back — grossed 2.9× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
