Rating of 3 stars out of 5 Radio Times

Swinging wildly from full-speed action to dozy interludes, this is an extremely strange mix of comedy, romance and kung fu. Jackie Chan plays one of two brothers who run a fast-food business in Spain. It reaches a witty high by spoofing The Three Musketeers, yet even during the longueurs there is a compelling sense of the weird which keeps the film ticking. There's also an explosive one-on-one fight between Chan and American martial artist Benny “The Jet” Urquidez (seen to similar effect in Grosse Pointe Blank).

Halliwell's Film Guide

Bizarre kung-fu comedy with a little romance on the side. Too slow and with not enough action to interest fans of the genre, even if it does include a parody of The Three Musketeers.

Time Out

Jackie Chan is more than the sum of his stunts: it's his knack for comedy, as much as his martial arts virtuosity that... Read more on www.timeout.com

Rated - 4 starsTOP MOVIE !!!

A customer from GLASGOW , 21/04/2006

The oddly titled Wheels on Meals is the second of three features all starring friends and former Chinese opera school brothers Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao. It's also one of the best Hong Kong action comedies of the '80s that contains some wild vehicular stunt work and concludes with two spectacular fights featuring American martial arts champions Benny 'The Jet' Urquidez and Keith Vitali.

The story takes place in Spain and focuses on a pair of carefree street vendors named Thomas (Jackie Chan) and David (Yuen Biao) who sell burgers around town out of a high-tech and tricked out yellow van while serving food on skateboards. After using martial arts to deal with some unruly bikers (led by Blacky Ko), the pair fall in love with a troublesome, but beautiful pickpocket named Sylvia (Lola Forner) who is on the run from thugs and an amateur private eye named Moby (pronounced 'Mo-bey'). It turns out that she is the heir to a fortune that her dastardly uncle covets. After she's kidnapped, Thomas, David and Moby team up to save her. But they will have to get through her uncle's thugs first.
