    Celluloid verdict

    A Barcelona-set comedy that exists mainly for Jackie Chan versus Benny Urquidez — still one of the cleanest fights ever filmed.

    Wheels on Meals (1984) Review: Kung Fu to Go in Barcelona

    Wheels on Meals reunites Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao for a Barcelona-set action comedy whose loose plot is redeemed by some of the finest fights of the 1980s.

    Yes, with reservations. The comedy is broad and the story thin, but the fight choreography is superb. Essential for Jackie Chan and Hong Kong action fans.
