D. C. Cab is not an entirely bad movie -- it has its moments -- but if it had used more actual taxi-riding incidents and more recognizable driver types, it could have been a little masterpiece.

D.C. Cab jumps you in the spirit of a big, shaggy and affection-craving pooch. You may wish it weren't quite so sloppily demonstrative, but it's too full of zest and good will to be resisted.

This movie should have never been made. Everyone involved in this film should have reconsidered their careers after this one.

This is one of the worst "comedies" I have ever seen. There were so many scenes that made no sense. It was a painful viewing experience.

...an inessential but inoffensive hang-out movie...

It's lewd, crude, and rude, but it deserves a salute for featuring as eclectic a cast as can be found this side of Otto Preminger's Skidoo.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Crazy and witty movie fun from the 80’s. Best line is why are women unhappy….they get half the money and all the P. Lol at this joke and many other moments in this movie!

I appreciate older movies, no GCI or special effects.

Hailing a third act that involves kidnapped and shutting down a cab company. It has Mr T, Bill Maher, Gary Busey and Casey from chuck fumbling from scene to scene have more fun than the audience watching it. I don't know what to make of this film, but it left a smile on face so not all that bad.

Sure it's silly, but it's a blast of nostalgic fun. I love the colorful, outlandish group of cabbies they collect here to save the day.

Saw this with my brother, in the theaters, when I was 11-12yo. I've seen it a few times since. Typical film for the times.
