What to Expect in Wheels on Meals (1984) – Jackie Chan in Spain
With a food truck as their base of operations and a knack for getting into trouble, the trio finds themselves pulled into a wild plot involving a pickpocket, a kidnapping, and some of the most creative fight choreography ever filmed.
The final fight between Jackie Chan and kickboxing champ Benny “The Jet” Urquidez is considered one of the greatest one-on-one showdowns in kung fu cinema history.

Untold Backstory
Despite being one of Jackie Chan’s most beloved international films, Wheels on Meals was originally considered a risk — shot in Spain with a European cast and a completely different tone than typical Hong Kong action flicks.
The film’s oddball title comes from Golden Harvest’s superstition after their previous two films starting with “M” flopped. They flipped the expected “Meals on Wheels” just to avoid bad luck.
Its cult status grew over time, especially because of the jaw-dropping fight choreography — some of which was improvised on location with real contact and no doubles.
