Taxi 3
When mischievous thieves known as the Santa Claus Gang wreak havoc across Marseille, fast‑talking cabbie Daniel must team up with a beleaguered police captain to catch them before the city’s chaos spirals out of control.
“No speed limits the next 90 min.”
Synopsis
A group of thieves who refer to themselves as the Santa Claus Gang is causing widespread disruption, overwhelming the police force. Police Captain Gilbert is preoccupied with a Chinese reporter conducting an article on his unit, while taxi driver Daniel is dealing with a personal relationship crisis. Following a series of blunders in which the criminals repeatedly outwit the authorities, Daniel and his exceptional taxi get involved.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 22
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
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.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 4.4× 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).
Worldwide gross
$64.5M
US & Canada: $497K — 1% of worldwide · International: $64.0M (99%)
