''D.C. Cab'' is a 1983 movie co-written and directed by JoelSchumacher. It featured an ensemble cast including Gary Busey, Paul Rodriguez, [[NightCourt Marsha Warfield]], [[RealTimeWithBillMaher Bill Maher]], AdamBaldwin (in his second major role after ''MyBodyguard''), and Creator/MrT (though only T is [[BillingDisplacement featured on the cover]]).
The movie focuses on a [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits down-on-their luck]] [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin cab company in Washington, D.C.]] as they attempt to make their way to respectability, fighting City Hall and rival cab companies all the way. After a kiss with that respectability, a [[HalfwayPlotSwitch kidnapping]] knocks them back down to earth, and the boys have to rescue one of their own and a couple of cute kids, fighting City Hall and rival cab companies all the way.
The movie was a modest earner, making $16 million domestically. It was critically panned, however; many people complained about the movie's heavy use of Creator/MrT in its advertising (he was coming off of ''RockyIII'' at the time), despite his character [[BillingDisplacement being just a small part of the ensemble]].

!!This film provides examples of:
* AdvertisedExtra / BillingDisplacement: Creator/MrT is so associated with this movie, it's called ''Mr. T and Company'' in some markets, despite the small amount of screen time he actually gets.
* HalfwayPlotSwitch: Turns from a standard struggle to survive as a cab company plot to a kidnapping plot for the third act.
* NaiveNewcomer: Albert Hockenberry (AdamBaldwin).
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits
* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The fact that Tyrone (Charlie Barnett) is a fan of Irene Cara is a plot point. Irene Cara today is best known for singing the theme to the movie ''{{Fame}}'', and she's also featured on the ''{{Flashdance}}'' soundtrack.
