In this episode we take a look at the Arcade & Dreamcast Classic Crazy Taxi ! Please scroll down to find more trivia about this game.

Film Director & Producer Richard Donner (Lethal Weapon, Superman) wanted to make a Crazy Taxi feature film but eventually bailed out as there wasn't enough material to make a plot out of.


The Crazy Taxi voice sounds a lot like the one hear at the begging in of the Sunny Beach music Video by Japanese Band Mad Capsule Markets.


DSI got a contract to produce a remote control crazy taxi car (DSI eventually went bankrupt).

Along with the Retro Reload Review, we would also like to share two television commercials (TVC's) and some promo material released at the time for Art of Fighting 2. Please scroll down to explore.

 Below are two of the Art of Fighting 2 Television Commercials. Produced in Japan, these TVC's aired before and during the launch of the game.
