This is another old and rather amusing Jackie Chan movie. This one is set in Spain where Jackie (Thomas) and his best friend David operate a mobile food van and service one of the market places in the country. It is a little unusual to see an Asian population in Spain, particularly when David's dad is in an insane asylum where he is now in a relationship with a woman named Gloria.At first it seems that things are disconnected. David's Dad's relationship with Gloria, a pickpocket, and a rather hopeless detective hired to find a girl whose only photo is when she was 12. However as the movie progresses things quickly fall into place. At first it appears that people are after the pickpocket simply because she is a pickpocket, however it becomes evident that she is actually the heiress to a fortune, a fortune whom the brother does not want going over to her because it brings shame to the family name (not that shame is a huge European quality).It is interesting how the concepts of shame and the actions of a guest play strongly in Asian movies, but it is something that is important to their culture that does not interplay strongly within our culture. We have a guilt based culture where if we treat people wrongly we will feel guilt, but then guilt is always tailored to our existential view of reality. To the Asian shame is something that one seeks to avoid, and thus will act so as not to bring shame onto their name, or that of their family. Family is another important aspect as we in the western world are an individualistic lot. We bring guilt upon ourselves, but not onto our family, however the strong family ties in the Asian world mean that they will act with their family's honour in mind.This does not necessarily mean that the Asians are better than us, but it is a culture that I have a deep respect for because it acts in a way that is far more honourable than the actions of those of us in the west.But onto the movie, not that there is much more to write on this film, or whether there are any really deep themes in here. There aren't. This is a typical (and enjoyable) Jackie Chan film with sight gags and the standard martial arts. Sammo Hung, who directed the film, also plays a major role as the bumbling detective. The bumbler is a character that Sammo seems to always play, and I must say that an Asian with a perm does look rather odd, but then Sammo Hung once again always does seem to play those odd characters.

'Wheels on Meals' is an action- comedy starring Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao, Sammo Hung, Lola Forner, Keith Vitali and Benny Urquidez. The 3 Dragons (Jackie, Sammo and Yuen) have done 3 big movies together: 'Project A', 'Wheels on Meals' and 'Dragons Forever'. WoM is my favorite out of them for several reasons. It has better balance between the 3 dragons rather than Project A which was more of a Jackie flick. The international feel with the Spanish and Chinese is great fun too. I love the soundtrack as well.The action scenes are the best though. Sammo Hung has slightly less screen presence than Jackie and Yuen but its fine because he does a wonderful job of directing. His swordplay in the climax is fantastic as well. Yuen does a very good job in the movie and is very charismatic as the innocent guy fallen for the pickpocket. Jackie's climax battle with Benny is still hailed as one of his epic best which is true. Lola is very sexy in her role. Keith and Benny do a fantastic job as the thugs.If you want to laugh out loud and be wowed by some fantastic stunt work and fight sequences, Wheels on Meals is just for you. Not to be missed by a Jackie Chan fan.

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.

What can i say? It was great. Second best movie from Jackie, Sammo and yuen have done together. The best is Dragon Forever. Movie includes awesome stunts, great fights and a few cameos by the "lucky stars". end fight sequence has been titled the best! Although, i dont understand the name. Wheels on Meals? It would have been better as "Meals on Wheels".
