Amazon.co.uk Review
A truly international production, Wheels on Meals teams up Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao in a comedic-action-crime caper that includes what some consider one of the greatest fight scenes ever filmed. Directed by Hung, the movie takes place in Spain, marking the first Jackie Chan vehicle set in a non-Asian location. Chan and Biao play two lunch-truck restaurateurs who are trying to make a living selling egg rolls and hamburgers in the busy squares of Barcelona. Hung is a novice private investigator searching for a beautiful pickpocket named Sylvia (Lola Ferner) whose thieving teams her up with Chan and Yuen. Sylvia is kidnapped after she discovers she is actually a wealthy heiress, and that's when Chan, Yuen and Hung join forces to free her and kick some bad guys' butts. Wheels on Meals is light-hearted fun with stunts and action scenes (including skateboarding tricks and a scene in which Chan and Yuen face off against a motorbike gang) that simply reaffirm the stars' physical and comic talents. The celebrated fight scene is a match between Chan and international kickboxing champion Benny "the Jet" Urquidez. The intensity of their scenes together spurred rumours of a rivalry beyond the film. Whether or not this was true, the two paired up again four years later in Dragons Forever. As for the nonsensical title, one theory claims the film's distributor (Golden Harvest) had little success with films whose titles started with "m" so they simply switched the two words around. --Shannon Gee, Amazon.com

Synopsis
Filmed entirely on the Costa Brava, this action-packed tale follows martial arts expert Jackie Chan as he gets mixed up with Lola Forna, a former Miss Spain. Unfortunately, Miss Lola is wanted by a bunch of rather nasty heavies......

Customer Reviews

Top-class Jackie
The first time I watched Wheels on Meals,I found it extremely entertaining,the jokes and fight scenes are tuned almost to perfection,especially Chan and Biaos' visit to a mental institution and the finale with Chan and Benny "The Jet" Urquidez beating the living hell out of each other.However,with this fight scene being so realistically violent,you cannot help but think it is a tad out of place in a film which contains so much comedy.This is only a minor gripe,however,because this film will keep you glued to your seat for the whole of its' duration.An essential purchase for any Chan fan.

Fantastic
