Judge Dredd (1995).

Sofcom picture, 4WD taxi for Judge Dredd, jpg
Taxis (above) in Judge Dredd were based on Land Rover FC101s. This was taken at Billing.

Judge Dredd is set in the crumbling 22nd-century MegaCity-1 which has a strong resemblance to the BladeRunner set. That's where the taxi's come in, you must need four wheel drive to cope with decaying infra-structure.

The taxi's are based on Land Rover forward control 101"s. FC101's were originally produced for the British army and were also bought by some other armed forces; most have now been pensioned off. The film's taxis were created by adding fibre-glass bodywork.

Back in the film - it's the usual, Sylvester Stallone grunts his way through the dialogue between shooting people. As chase and shoot 'em up movies go, it's average.
