StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
utshavsubba '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.
ebiros2 Great movie with, trio of world's most famous kung-fu action stars (Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Bao) in their prime. This is the movie that basically established Jackie Chan's style of combining slap stick humor with action in international settings. The trio broke the barrier of traditional Hong Kong movie making style in this film. Being from the same Peking Opera school, their friendship can be seen even through their acting.Jackie and Yuen operates a food wagon and Jackie plays a waiter on roller skates. They get entangled with a prostitute who are hunted by gang of thugs which gets them entangled in trouble as well.You can see that they were having fun making this movie, and you'll also see the incredible physical prowess of the three actors.Masterpiece for the three actors who became international stars in the coming years.I just wonder about the title though. Shouldn't it be Meals on Wheels instead of Wheels on Meals ?
FinnishChanFan 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".
EL BUNCHO This is a pretty good film of its type, but let's cut right to the chase: skip ahead to roughly the last 20 minutes since the rest of the movie isn't anything you haven't seen before (not that that's meant to be an insult). What you'll find is a series of kung fu battles (Yuen Biao vs Keith Vitali, Sammo Hung vs Richard Norton) that are okay, but the highlight is the four-star fight between Jackie Chan and Benny "the Jet" Urquidez. That fight is a real bone-rattler and is probably the best one-on-one fight put on film in the last twenty years.
