Summary: Yes!..The best fight scene
Review: I totally love this movie.I recommend you buying this movie soon as possible, especially the greatest fighting scene with Jackie Chan against Benny"The Jet"Urquidez.I think this battle is the greatest because it is just a one on one fight and IT JUST ROCKSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Take one..action! ..action?? Where *is* the action?
Review: If the first 5 minutes of this film had set the tone for the rest of the movie, this should've been a wonderful piece. As it turned out, this wasn't so much of a flop as it was a mild disappointment. The fight sequences are few and far between, while the comedy was...well, you know what to expect if you're a fan of this genre. :^) Sammo did a much better job directing Encounters of the Spooky Kind than he did with this movie--> I'd recommend Dragons Forever if you want to see Jackie, Yuen, and Sammo in some good action scenes. This film doesn't quite do any of the three justice.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Silly,silly,silly!
Review: If you get this movie, you can pretty much fast-forward to that Chan-Urquidez fight at the end, which is spectacular even to someone who is not a huge Kung-fu fan (like me). The rest of the movie was WEIRD, though. The plot was silly, and the dubbing was OBNOXIOUS, to say the least! I am a big Chan-fan, and I guess since I don't speak Chinese I didn't consider this to be the funniest movie of his career! I thought Twin Dragons was much funnier! But I'd have to recommend this one just for that boxing-match near the end. It really is fantastic!!

Summary: wheels on meals is raw!
Review: In my opinion, words can barely describe this film. Easily one of the very best Jackie Chan films - and he has made many excellent films. The action is superb and has rarely been bettered - encorporating loads of comedy, acrobatics, and props along with some amazing moves. As with most Chan films (i.e. excluding most of the Lo Wei movies and the rather serious "Heart Of Dragon") it is very funny, and contains some typically amazing stunts.
What makes it even better is that we have three stars for the price of one. Jackie Chan stars alongside his 'brothers' Sammo Hung and Yuen Baio, and the interplay is brilliant. Each star brings their best to this project, and it really shows.
It is directed by Sammo Hung so expect some beautifully choreographed fight scenes - especially the end battles involving kickboxing champion Benny "The Jet" Urquidez and karate master Keith Vitali against Jackie and Yuen which are a joy to watch. You will find yourself amazed at how action-packed and hilarious a movie can actually be!
The plot basically centres on two brothers (Jackie and Yuen) and their private-eye friend (Sammo) trying to protect a beautiful pickpocket (who is actually a wealthy heiress) from evil scheming bad guys who want the money for themselves. This may not the best plot ever, but lets face it: you're unlikely to buy the video just for the story anyway.
So buy it now.
Honestly, its too good to miss out on.
Go on, you'll love it.

Summary: I went to cinema 5 times when it first released.
Review: It's a fairy tale. And Silvia is a fantasy. Grand scenery of Barcelona, Spain. Nonstop spar, witty dialogue, solid stunts, action packed. You got everything here. Jackie Chan do have an international vision, not only because its foreign background,the cinematography not as coarse as most of H. K. films, never dated a bit to me, I love this kind of fairytale anyway, IMHO.

And don't miss the uncredit cast, when aged streetwalker Jennifer finally pay off and with a tiny tip to Jackie, get one more spring roll in return, and her bargain with customer, belly laughs. Enjoy !

Summary: Chan vs "The Jet" part 1
Review: Jackie Chan versus Benny "The Jet" in the last fight is all you need to know to buy this movie. It is the best fight I have ever seen in any movie ever.

Wheels on Meals is a comedy first, keep that in mind. Dont watch this expecting it to be an action packed Jackie Chan movie cause its not. This is the funnest movie Jackie Chan has ever done though. If you want a great comedy then this is for you.

Jackie and Yuen Biao sell food from a "hi-tech" (hi-tech for early 80s) van, all computerized with the works. This movie takes place in Barcelona, Spain. Jackie and Yuen both fall for a gorgeous woman, she keeps getting in trouble (being a thief and all)and they keep helping her out even though she steals their money everytime. Sammo pretends to be a Private Investigator and is hired to find the woman Jackie and Yuen keep helping. Lots of laughs throughout the film.

The only real action in the movie is the car chase scene involving there van, and the other action part is the great finale where Jackie and Benny "The Jet" fight in the GREATEST FIGHT EVER! You have to see this fight! IT IS THAT GOOD!

All in all this is a very funny movie with not much action, but definatley worth the money.

Summary: it was so boring my mom left in the middle of it.
Review: My mom who is a big fan of jackie chan hated this movie and so did I. The best part is when jackie fights benny "The Jet" in the finale. That is the only reason I gave it stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Action & Comedy... What a mix...
Review: One of Jackie Chan's all time best movies, and for good reason. What made Jackie Chan was seamless action, charm, and wit. This movie has more of each than anything else out there. It has some of the best fight scenes of Jackie Chan, Benny Urquidez, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao's careers (including the fight between Chan and Urquidez, arguably the best fight scene ever filmed)! It's also one of the funniest and most charming of all the movies Chan and friends have done. The memorable characters are what have defined Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao as actors! Somewhat of an obscure movie that didn't get the credit it deserved in the United States, this movie is a must see for anyone even remotely likes Jackie Chan movies. Also look for Project A, Armour of God, Operation Condor (Armour of God 2), Police Story, Supercop (Police Story 3), Rumble in the Bronx, First Strike, Mr. Nice Guy, and Dragons Forever.
