A Japanese minister of defence is traveling to Paris to sign a weapons contract between Japan and France, but first, he is visiting Marseille to view and rate the city police's anti-gang tactics (using fake attacks on him). During the visit, however, he is kidnapped by a group working for the Japanese yakuza. Emilien (Frédéric Diefenthal) is determined to rescue the minister and detective Petra (Emma Sjöberg), his girlfriend who was also kidnapped, and restore the honour of his department.

A group of thieves calling themselves the Santa Claus gang are wreaking havoc, and the Marseille police are, as usual, unable to keep up. Superintendent Gibert (played by Bernard Farcy) is distracted by a Chinese journalist (Bai Ling) writing a story on his squad. Detective Emilien's wife, Petra, has just announced that she's pregnant and taxi driver Daniel (Samy Naceri) is in the midst of a relationship crisis. His long-suffering girlfriend Lilly has walked out on him after finding him customising his taxi at four o'clock in the morning, and complaining that their house has become a mere garage. After a string of mistakes in which the thieves outsmart the police time and time again, a journalist is kidnapped. It is revealed that the journalist is the leader of the Santa Claus gang. The police go in search, but Emilien is captured after another botched attempt to arrest them. The journalist sets a trap; she leaves Emilien tied to a chair in an old warehouse, directly in the path of a giant ball which will crush him five minutes later. At the very last moment, Daniel rushes in with his taxi and rescues him. They track the gang to their hideout in the Swiss mountains, where the journalist and her accomplices are arrested by a crack team of Alpine troops. Gibert lands in an ice-bound lake after leaping from an aircraft with them. Petra gives birth, Daniel proposes to Lilly and a Gibert is seen being pushed around in a wheelchair covered in ice.

Sylvain Marot, pilote d'exception, est un super-flic parisien qui vient d'arrêter un truand et, parce que celui-ci est d’humeur râleuse, décide de lui offrir quelques dérapages et pics de vitesse dans les grandes rues de la capitale. De retour au poste de police, il apprend être sanctionné pour avoir couché avec la femme du préfet : ce dernier le mute dans une brigade de police municipale de Marseille alors qu'à la base, il rêvait du RAID. Sur place, Alain Trésor, idiot logorrhéique en poste depuis plus de 20 ans à la Criminelle de Marseille et maintenant à la tête de la Municipale, lui présente l'équipe de bras cassés en place : Ménard, un grand dadais des farces et attrapes. Michel, un nain agressif. Régis, un pervers incontrôlable. Et Sandrine, une policière obèse et nymphomane. Lors d'un contrôle de routine, Sylvain est renversé par un chauffeur VTC calamiteux et intellectuellement limité. Il tente de poursuivre la Renault Laguna à travers les rues de Marseille, mais le passager du véhicule vomit sur le pare-brise de la voiture de police qui plonge dans le Vieux-Port. Casse-cou peu au fait des mœurs marseillaises, Sylvain est pris à partie par deux agents de la police nationale, qui connaissent ses origines parisiennes.

Eight years after the events of the first film, Miami Police Department (MPD) narcotics division detectives Marcus Burnett and Mike Lowrey are investigating the flow of highly-potent ecstasy into the city. Their surveillance of boats coming in from Cuba leads them to a Ku Klux Klan meeting and drug drop in a swamp docks outside Miami. The subsequent raid on the Klan members proves to be a disaster; malfunctioning radios delay back-up, causing a firefight when Mike accidentally shoots Marcus in the buttocks, while the Klan members are revealed to be mere small-time buyers and not the distributors of the ecstasy. The incident leaves Marcus to further question if he still wants to partner with Mike, while Mike fears that Marcus may discover his new relationship with Marcus' sister, Syd.
