Wheels On Meals [Blu-ray] (Japanese Import - Region A - English Dub)

The movie literally starts with a sweaty workout scene of a couple of well-groomed, neatly dressed, confirmed bachelors who live together. The couple have a brightly colored food truck where David (Yuen Biao) cooks while Thomas (Jackie Chan) skateboards to take orders. One day they come across a pretty girl in trouble and offer her to stay at their apartment. After she comes out of the shower she asks if either of them would like to "have" her, but the boys in unison say "No, thanks!", turn around, put an arm around the other and walk back into their room. She leaves in the morning, but their paths are to cross again, thanks to an inept, novice private investigator and a meandering, slow-moving plot. That leads to a rather predictable ending featuring a very good fight scene, employing a popular trope for Hong Kong movies of the 80's where the clever Chinese man defeats the big bad white man. This movie is also a shameless ad for Mitsubishi motors where, I swear to God, a chase scene is interrupted just to show a Mitsubishi sports car perform a wild jump, an old lady comes out of the car and exclaims: "I could've been dead, but thankfully I have a pretty good car!" Oh and also their food truck is a tricked-out Mitsubishi van. And they serve the food under a huge sign 'Mitsubishi Motors'.At the end our two heroes and the chubby PI risk their lives and all get pretty badly beaten up, but are still together. And then the girl shows up and gives them a half-hearted hug.Hooray for the 80's and hot pink blazers!

My review is for the film itself, not the vendor I purchased from who sold me what seemed to be a blatant bootleg copy of the movie. The aspect ratio was all over the place and the film's cover looked like a cheap print from a crappy color copier.Wheels of Meals is a wacky, goofy comedy that just so happens to feature one of Jackie Chan's all time most intense and brutal fight scenes. The action as a whole is intense and doesn't always mesh with the lighter tone of the actual story. Jackie and his costar Yuen Biao are roommates who also share a business as 1980's style food truck owners. While David (Biao) does the cooking, Thomas (Jackie) skateboards around the crowd serving up orders. They cook out of a crazy food truck that features a bizarre 80's style computer that automates all the doors (for some reason). One night the duo come across Sylvia (Lola Forner from Chan's classic Armor of God): a pickpocket and thief who poses as a prostitute for easy marks. Both David and Thomas fall for Sylvia and take her under their collective wing, despite her thieving tendencies. Meanwhile, their Private Eye pal Moby (Sammo Hung from Chan's other classic Project A) learns that Sylvia is actually the long lost daughter of a rich tycoon who recently passed and willed his fortune to her. The rich man's family is now hunting for Sylvia hoping to use her to steal the fortune, while Moby's employer wants her to get the inheritance she's owed. This puts Chan and his pal on a collision course with the family's henchmen who kidnap Slyvia. The three pals break into the estate and take on the family's thugs to save the girl.Craziest Shit You'll See Jackie Do: The film is a light-hearted action comedy for the most part, but again it is now mostly remembered for the final fight between Jackie and Benny "The Jet" Urquidez (a real life kickboxing champion). The fight scene is quite lengthy and downright brutal. Rumor has it that to make some of the slow-motion punches look more authentic, Chan and Urquidez decided to hit each other for real while packing their mouths with cotton balls for "cushioning." The fight scene is well worth checking out and you can find it in its entirety on Youtube, but the movie as a whole is worth checking out for fans.

Movie is good but It came before Jackie chan movies were made in English or dubbed well. The dubbing is pretty bad. I would say watch a subbed version if you can find one. I think it would be better to read the English and hear the Chinese then to hear this dubbing.

I LOVE this movie so much since watching it through Amazon Prime streaming. I wanted a physical copy before it is inevitably taken off Amazon. HOWEVER this not the same dubbing as the one you can currently stream through Amazon Prime. This one is actually WORSE. I can't speak towards the translation, but the sound quality of the voices is muffled, the Italian accents are even worse, and I understand the lips don't always match the dubbing, but this one seemed to have more instances where they dubbing would start noticeably before/after someone was talking.Additional Note: If you bought this and are looking for the English dub, its the second option under 'Sound'. The menu is in English/Chinese, the settings are all in Chinese.

First of all, let me just say Wheels on Meals is a GREAT movie, one of Jackie Chan's finest. However the picture quality of this particular release is TERRIBLE, it's practically VHS quality, and it's non-anamorphic. Audio is serviceable and offered in both Cantonese and English. Subtitles in English are available.3 stars is for the quality of the release. As far as Jackie's movies go this is a 5-star. Maybe 20 years ago a release of this picture quality would be at the bottom end if acceptable, but it just doesn't fly today. I would only recommend this DVD version if it's cheap and your only option.

As an old martial arts movie aficionado, I've seen a lot of classic Jackie Chan films, and this has always been one of my favorites. As a kid, I must have watched it twenty times. I can't tell you how delighted I was to find it on Amazon Prime, included in my membership! Watching it again reaffirmed my belief that it's one of the great kung-fu films of my generation. Of course, having Yuen Biao, Sammo Hung, and Benny "The Jet" Urquidez in it helps, making it a star among cheesy old martial arts classics. Great comedy, good characters, and fantastic fights! After all this time, it's still a five-star kung-fu flick!

Eureka and Jackie Chan is fast turning out to be one of my favourite collaborations. Having already produced superlative editions of Drunken Master, Police Story 1 and 2, and Project A 1 and 2, they now turn their attention to one of my all time favourite classic JC films, Wheels on Meals. This is old school Jackie at his best featuring the dream team of Yeun Biao, Sammo Hung, with Benny Urquidez and Keith Vitali providing some of the most memorable and inventive fight scenes to have ever come out of a VHS store in the 80s. Firstly the transfer is absolutely superb. This is an all new 2k restoration and is absolutely stunning to look at. Colours are vivid, with great skin tones, black levels and detail that actually looks like a film made in the last few years that's been designed to look retro, rather than something that's just hit 35 years old. Eureka have also treated us to a really amazing suite of sound options, including the original dub, LPCM mono Cantonese, and a terrific alternate soundtrack I've never heard before (and I've owned this film in about 10 versions over the years).There's some really awesome and unique extras here to, including wonderfully insightful interviews with Keith Vitali and Benny Urquidez, and a brilliant alternate blooper real from the Japanese release which contains footage I've not seen before. Also in the initial pressing there's a very nice essay booklet with loads of interesting detail about the film and Chan and production photos.This is unquestionably the greatest release of this terrific slice of old school Jackie Chan that ticks every box you could possibly hope for. Oh with one teeny exception, and that is Eureka's slightly annoying trend of never giving us a scene selection menu. Why? The film is broken very neatly into scene breaks, but come on guys, let us choose! But seriously, release Dragons forever and the Armour of God and all will be forgiven...

EUREKA have done it again brought an amazing fun classic movie back to life, with 2k restoration, packed with features and an amazing booklet packed with tones of info which makes this a great one to add to the rest of the Jackie Chan collection for any true fan of martial arts cinema this is a must have.

If you are a fan then you’ll already know the film so won’t talk about that. Blue ray quality is epic, plenty of audio and subtitle options so if you prefer dubbed or text. Extras are good ( but not as good as police story extras in my opinion). If you are a chan fan, his best work was in the 80s so lap this up along with police story and project A double packs from eureka as they give the films the care and attention they deserve. P.s. tried to explain the plot to work colleagues and realised it is totally bizarre but the fight choreography is fantastic!

I bought this because it had some great reviews, thwy let them reviews fool you. This is ok at best but not a great film like most would have you believe. The restoration looks pretty good for the most part but not as good as the drunken master. I gave this a 3 because of the slip case, artwork and booklet otherwise it would get a 2.

Film picture lot clear than old pictures and lots action. I please with blue ray dvd and delivery to my house safely without damage.
