Before becoming Hong Kong's answer to Stallone and Schwarzenegger (by way of Harold Lloyd), Jackie Chan was probably known better to Chinese audiences as a physical comedian than as an action star.
Along with fellow actors and childhood friends Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung (also a well-known director in his homeland), Chan starred in a series of popular action-filled comedies during most of the mid- and late 1980s.
One of these, "Wheels on Meals," is more comedic than action-oriented, although things do end with a bang.
Chan is again paired with Biao, and the two play Thomas and David, Chinese entrepreneurs selling fast food in Barcelona. To help their struggling business, they decide to hire a beautiful streetwalker, Sylvia (Maria Delores Forner), as their waitress.
And as it turns out, Sylvia is the illegitmate daughter of a Spanish nobleman and stands to inherit a fortune. But she is also being pursued by a private investigator, Moby (Hung, who again directed), as well as some vicious thugs, who kidnap her. The three leads team up to get her back and storm the bad guy's castle, where they fight his henchmen (including Urquidez).
Despite Hung's fluid direction, much of the film is a snorefest, with unfunny gags that seem to go on forever. Chan's climactic comic battle with Urquidez almost makes it worthwhile, however.
"Wheels on Meals" is not rated, but would probably receive a PG-13 for violence, profanity, a couple of vulgar gags and brief partial nudity.
