"Wheels On Meals" is actually a great fun Jackie Chan movie, despite it being from 1984, it is still fun to watch today.
The story is about Thomas (played by Jackie Chan) and David (played by Yuen Biao) who are running a mobile fast-food service in Spain, when they happen to come across beautiful Sylvia (played by Lola Forner). She is being chased by a group of people, and the two restaurant vendors find themselves in a plot like none other. Hired to find Sylvia and bring her back is aspiring detective Moby (played by Sammo Hung).
Of course you have the trademark slapstick comedy action as in most Jackie Chan movies, but also a funny story (again another trademark of his) and the amazingly choreographed martial arts and action sequences.
I got the CineAsia / Hong Kong Legends collector's edition, and the extra material is well worth getting this version for alone. The movie contains both the Cantonese language track and a poorly dubbed English language track. I really don't understand the fetish about dubbing foreign movies into English, subtitles is your friend here!
One thing that I did find odd though, was that everyone spoke Cantonese in Spain, even all the local Spainards. That was just hilarious and stupid at the same time. But hey, it just added to the charm of the movie.
"Wheels On Meals" is entertaining and fun, not to mention fast-paced and full of action; everything you'd expect from a Jackie Chan movie. And it is a well deserving movie in any DVD collection for fans of Hong Kong cinema and Jackie Chan's movies.
