Wheels on Meals (1984)

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Meals on Wheels is a good Jackie Chan flick that takes place in Spain. What makes this film stand out from some their other films is that some of the actions scenes in this film are iconic of the martial arts actionI cannot deny t that Jackie Chan and gang bring and have been bringing to the screen.The action sequences are iconic because this is one of the films where people might have seen a cut scene and say "wow that sword blade was really close to him!" and such. Some of the martial arts action sequences are incredibly well done. The strikes are so close and done so well and filmed well, that the fight choreography had to be precisely timed. There were a couple stunts where I thought "if he didn't complete that stunt or fight sequences successfully, he would probably have been dead or very very hurt." Also there's a lot of gags and comic relief in the film as well as innovative props, such as the food truck they drive around. Some action and scenes take place on Spain's some tourist traveled areas. The way the story is actually a very good work in its own since they take literally a few stories that eventually intertwine. Sylvia, the main protagonist of the film is a conniving young lady who cheats and steals money from men who think they will be sleeping with her. Sylvia is no stupid girl and out schmoozes her way around men taken by her beauty and charm, but she's very divisive and causes a lot of trouble.Good flick, it is a different film from My Lucky Stars, which is more dramatic comedy with physical comedy. This film is an action comedy with great martial arts sequences. I do recommend this one, it is a fun watch if you're into the jackie chan genre of movies.

It is one of those rare examples when I get absolutely disappointed by a Sammo Hung Kam-Bo movie and by the mighty trio. It simply bores me on each level: fighting choreography, jokes, gags and slapstick, and stunts. For me this movie does not work at all and it succeeds only in embarrassing me. The only good thing is that this DVD did not cost me much being a "cheap" release.If I need high-quality "fighting choreography, jokes, gags and slapstick, and stunts", I spin my "Sing si lip yan" DVD, "Long xiong hu di" DVD, or "Long xiao ye" one. It never gets any better than that. In my very humble opinion of course.Sorry, Mr Jackie Chan and all his fans, but I simply dislike this flick. Maybe Spain and China is like milk and salty cucumbers. A mixture that refuses to digest.Once I mentioned everything that I didn't like about this movie on Jackie Chan board (even the so often praised Benny vs. Jackie fight looks poor to me). I am not in the mood to repeat it all here again.3 out of 10 (there are still a few highlights and you know them, if you've watched it). Thanks for attention.

i think the summary says it all. i love project a, and my lucky stars, dragons forever,and winners and sinners, but wheels on meals in the best out of all of them. one of my friends put me on a lot of Jackie Chan films right after rumble in the Bronx, and the first two movie he gave me as a birthday gift, was ProjectA and Wheels on Meals. it's a prefect fit of comedy, action, and martial arts. Thomas (Jackie)and David (Yuen Biao)are cousins and have a food business in a van, and run into a girl, who is nothing but trouble, and Sammo Hung is a detective, who is looking for the girl.The comedy is great, and the action is brilliant, and this is one of the film i would love to remake. Rent or buy this movie if you are a fan.

This movie contains the apparent 'best jackie chan fight' ever, which is why I bought it, I guess I expected too much. The last fight really is excellent, but didn't top Drunken Master, or 'Gorgeous' for my standards.What really stunned me about the last scene was the excellent choreography, and Benny "The Jet"'s great skill. The actually thought this may be Jackie's best "Movie" even if the fight scene at the end was his 3rd best IMO. Sammo Hung is really quite a character, good acting skills and a unique look, not to mention he is a skilled Martial Artist. The plot, as simple as it is, leaves you quite entertained through-out the movie, and Lola Forner is great too. I only wish my DVD has better English subtitles!10/10
