Wheels On Meals [VHS]

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...

Badly dubbed but some soild action scenes.

Having previously watched a dubbed copy of this movie in the 90s, the picture, and soumd quality is amazing.The comedy may not travel to well, but the action scenes show casing the 3 stars skills, are still has dropping.

Such a phenomenal movie! All JC classics are but this is one of his finest, along side the lightening fast Yuen Biao and directed by Sammo Hung, yes, that unreal trio! The fights are just stunning! Fast and furious! The story is hilariously entertaining and very engaging throughout. This is a childhood favourite that hasn't aged a day! I was fortunate enough to spot it remastered by HKL (Hong Kong Legends) and now its on Blu-Ray! If you enjoy classic Jackie, fast fights that are well captured and funny wit then this is one of those movies you won't regret buying. Don't rob yourself or future generations of the greatness! Enjoy.

Another brilliant movie family comedy action

This is easily one of the best Jackie Chan movies ever made, the fight sequences, chase scenes are all top notch and the incredible trio really deliver an incredible finale to an incredible film.This was one of the first Jackie Chan films I watched back when I was a kid, and it felt great to watch a film that I havent watched for more than 20 years at least.Only one thing upset me about this DVD release from Hong Kong Legends, the entire cheesy dubbing and the fantastic music has all been completely changed and I find that quite annoying. I may sound nostalgic here, but I prefered the original cheesy dubbing, especially Samo Hungs voice was such a laugh but in this version they all sound completely different.This is not the first Jackie Chan film to be dubbed, almost all of Jackies movies such as Police Story 1&2, Project A 1&2, My Lucky Stars, Winners and Sinners, Armour of God and others have all had remastered dubbing, so if you were a collector of Jackies films like I was when they were available on VHS, you'll surely be disappointed about the change of voices.Apart from that, the film is still excellent as I remember it, especially the highlight being Jackie vs Benny the Jet. As this is the single disc edition, the DVD contains trailers only and nothing else.

Thomas (Jackie Chan) and David (Yuen Biao) run a mobile food-stall in Spain catering to tourists during the day and the working girls at night. A detective friend Moby (Sammo Hung) tries to persuade them to help in the search for a missing heiress, and despite their refusal to help him, they have already become unwittingly involved in the case.The storyline concerns the missing daughter of a Spanish nobleman and a former servant and unless both are found, her uncle will inherit. Naturally, the uncle has no intention of allowing her to cheat him of his inheritance and has sent various thugs to impede the search. Soon, these three mismatched allies are involved in a series of comic misunderstandings, chases, fights and kidnapping, leading to a spectacular show-down in a Spanish castle.As usual, the three leads display a fine comic talent combined with spectacular martial arts skills.The DVD is packed with many special features including a commentary by Bey Logan and interviews with many of the actors, including Sammo Hung.

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!
