Summary: one of the best!
Review: This is in my opinion one of the best films jackie chan has ever done and its a shame more people are not aware of it existence. The mix of comedy and the superb fight scenes make the film enjoyable from start to finish. As a recommendation this film is best viewed with subtitles.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "One of the very best, ever"
Review: This is one helluva Stunt flick! Well many would say: Which Jackie Chan movie is not? Well but this one is really one of my favorites! Especially the final bout between Jackie and Benny "The Jet" Urquidez! Later Jackie teams up with Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao! Very Good! Very entertaining from the beginning!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Funniest Jackie Chan Movie Ever
Review: This is the funniest JC movie ever. Samo is superb "I'm Looking for fatso". The Mental Hospital is great "I am a clock, measuring time". Sylvia is superb. A great movie, even if Kung Fu isn't your style

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: good to see this Jackie Chan classic on DVD
Review: This movie was originally to be titled "Meals on Wheels", but a superstitious Chinese movie exec reversed the title because previous movies starting with "M" had been box-office failures. In any case, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao deliver the goods in this action/comedy. The plot is a bit silly (it takes place in Spain, but nobody speaks spanish - Cantonese and Mandarin soundtracks are available) but the fights, stunts, and chase scenes are some of Jackie Chan's best. The video quality is quite good considering the source material, but I didn't like the audio mix - the stereo effects seemed overdone and distracting. Overall, this is a must-have for any Chan fan.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Kung Food?
Review: This movie was pretty average on the comical scale,but even though there wasnt that much action in the movie the action was top notch. The only reason I bought this movie was because of the Jackie and Benny fight. I dont care what anybody says that fight was probably one of the best jackie chan fights I have ever seen. It was the little things that made the fight great like when they were fighting by a table with three lit candles on it and Benny did a roundhouse kick on jackie and jackie ducked and his foot blew out the candles. The opening training scene between jackie and Yuen Biao was too short and had me begging for more, and why was Yuen Biao running from the white martial arts guy that nobody knows or cares about,and the fight between them ending kind of weak with the awesome Biao smashing a vase on the guys head. Get this movie to see the jackie and Benny fight which leads to the great rematch in the movie Dragons forever.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The best fight ever filmed
Review: This movies is high lighted by what has been called the Best Fight Ever Recorded, between Jackie Chan and Benny "the Jet" Urquidez. The two went at it with reckless abandon in the finale.

Before this scene however the action/fight scenes are sparse. This movie is mainly supposed to be a comedy vehicle. However, with Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao along for the ride fight scenes couldnt be too far behind.

This movie only gets 3 stars in my book. However the last fight scenes alone give this movie another star for its landmark battle.

Summary: must see
Review: this was a great movie if you see one Jackie Chan movie this year see this one, the stunts and fights are entertaining and upbeat

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: need i mention more than rollerskates and legwarmers
Review: this was a GREAT movie! But beyond the fabulous fight scenes you get to pay homage to the 80's on screen. Legwarmers, rollerskates, cheesy computer graphic, and the slow motion panning as the girls swing their hair around. A classic.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A typical chan movie
Review: wheels on meals is a prety typical film, its funny, there is kung-fu and the story is ok. But there are better Chan movies like drunken master or youn master.
