BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

KineticSeoul This movie does drag a bit at certain points. Personally multiple times I just wanted it to just fast-forward to the next Jackie Chan action sequences. This one really does bring out Jackie's acrobatic skills. At some parts it's like watching the Chinese Three Stooges, and the trademark Jackie Chan humor works. This one is more story focused, not a great story but a watchable one. But sometimes just didn't seem to have enough action. The main highlight fight is the one with Jackie Chan vs. Benny "The Jet" Urquidez. It's one of Jackie's highlight fights in movie history for a reason. Sammo Hung is amusing as this kid detective guy, that is amateurish but persistent. His fight sequence with the fencing expert was a entertaining watch as well. The trio does a good job of bringing in that humor and tenacity on screen. When it comes to the plot it seemed like a live action Chinese version of "The Castle of Cagliostro". Except with kung-fu and stuff. Overall it's cool to see Jackie during his prime. Despite few dragged out parts and parts that are a bit rushed. This is still a fun movie with flashy but entertaining fight choreography.7.3/10

david-sarkies This is another old and rather amusing Jackie Chan movie. This one is set in Spain where Jackie (Thomas) and his best friend David operate a mobile food van and service one of the market places in the country. It is a little unusual to see an Asian population in Spain, particularly when David's dad is in an insane asylum where he is now in a relationship with a woman named Gloria.At first it seems that things are disconnected. David's Dad's relationship with Gloria, a pickpocket, and a rather hopeless detective hired to find a girl whose only photo is when she was 12. However as the movie progresses things quickly fall into place. At first it appears that people are after the pickpocket simply because she is a pickpocket, however it becomes evident that she is actually the heiress to a fortune, a fortune whom the brother does not want going over to her because it brings shame to the family name (not that shame is a huge European quality).It is interesting how the concepts of shame and the actions of a guest play strongly in Asian movies, but it is something that is important to their culture that does not interplay strongly within our culture. We have a guilt based culture where if we treat people wrongly we will feel guilt, but then guilt is always tailored to our existential view of reality. To the Asian shame is something that one seeks to avoid, and thus will act so as not to bring shame onto their name, or that of their family. Family is another important aspect as we in the western world are an individualistic lot. We bring guilt upon ourselves, but not onto our family, however the strong family ties in the Asian world mean that they will act with their family's honour in mind.This does not necessarily mean that the Asians are better than us, but it is a culture that I have a deep respect for because it acts in a way that is far more honourable than the actions of those of us in the west.But onto the movie, not that there is much more to write on this film, or whether there are any really deep themes in here. There aren't. This is a typical (and enjoyable) Jackie Chan film with sight gags and the standard martial arts. Sammo Hung, who directed the film, also plays a major role as the bumbling detective. The bumbler is a character that Sammo seems to always play, and I must say that an Asian with a perm does look rather odd, but then Sammo Hung once again always does seem to play those odd characters.

Andrei Pavlov It is one of those rare examples when I get absolutely disappointed by a Sammo Hung Kam-Bo movie and by the mighty trio. It simply bores me on each level: fighting choreography, jokes, gags and slapstick, and stunts. For me this movie does not work at all and it succeeds only in embarrassing me. The only good thing is that this DVD did not cost me much being a "cheap" release.If I need high-quality "fighting choreography, jokes, gags and slapstick, and stunts", I spin my "Sing si lip yan" DVD, "Long xiong hu di" DVD, or "Long xiao ye" one. It never gets any better than that. In my very humble opinion of course.Sorry, Mr Jackie Chan and all his fans, but I simply dislike this flick. Maybe Spain and China is like milk and salty cucumbers. A mixture that refuses to digest.Once I mentioned everything that I didn't like about this movie on Jackie Chan board (even the so often praised Benny vs. Jackie fight looks poor to me). I am not in the mood to repeat it all here again.3 out of 10 (there are still a few highlights and you know them, if you've watched it). Thanks for attention.

Mauro Cosentino If you have seen Rush Hour and its sequel and you were impressed you have to see this one. If you have seen "Martial Law", and you were impressed you have to see this. And also you will meet the other star of this group of Masters of the Martial Arts and Comedy Yuen Biao.Jackie, Sammo and Yuen play a group of losers that get in trouble in Spain, the rest is a non-stopping adventure full of incredible fights, laughs and healthy fun. Wheel on Meals is probably the ultimate mix of Kung Fu, Acrobatics and Funny Gags spawned by the admired Sammo Hung, he's got an incredible eye for action, that's why he's one of the best directors alive.Jackie leading here is at his best along with his partners Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung Kam-Bo, they fight with an incredible physical ability, and not casually among the many thugs they kick are some real champs like Benny Urquidez or Keith Vitali. In the closing credit don't miss the bloopers, watching the bloopers the admiration we feel for the great Jackie increases. But Jackie not only uses his legs and fists to make you laugh he puts some funny faces that could make people fall off their seats laughing. The good thing in the movie is that there's enough of Sammo, Jackie and Yuen, every Fighter has their memorable moments on-screen. "Kwai tsan tseh" is a Masterpiece of humorous action.
