WHEELS ON MEALS (Kuai Can Che) (1984) - ♦♦♦

Directed by - Sammo Hung Kam-Bo

Written by - Edward Tang, Gwing-Gai Lee

Starring - Jackie Chan

"Martial arts thriller comedy about two buddies who drive a high-tech lunch van through Spain and get caught up in a ludicrous affaire involving the kidnapping of a would be heiress of a fortune. Entertaining, fast paced and exciting.

The film occasionally falls in all too silly territory and as expected the characters remain sketchy all throughout. But, of course, there is no thought provoking element in a film that is mostly made for the sole purpose of entertainment and the cast gets a fair chance to shine. Jackie Chan is charismatic, and the fight scenes are a lot of fun. Nevertheless, the story is far too structured and carries the usual elements one would expect – no more, no less."

Action, Hong Kong/Spain
