Wheels on Meals (2K Restored Version)

Directed by Sammo Hung and featuring the legendary trio of Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung himself—all three being members of the ‘Seven Little Fortunes’, renowned apprentices of Peking Opera master Yu Zhanyuan—Wheels on Meals showcases the unparalleled talent that defined 1980s action comedies. Set in Barcelona, Spain, the story follows two Chinese cousins who run a fast-food van while honing their martial arts skills in their spare time. Their lives are turned upside down when they encounter Sylvia, a beautiful pickpocket who turns out to be the estranged heir to a wealthy earl’s fortune. When Sylvia is kidnapped by the earl’s scheming brother, the cousins join forces with a private investigator on a daring rescue mission.

Jampacked with exhilarating action sequences, Wheels on Meals is a landmark in martial arts cinema, featuring spectacular performances by three of Hong Kong’s greatest kung fu icons. The climactic showdown between Jackie Chan and American kickboxing champion Benny ‘The Jet’ Urquidez is widely regarded as one of the greatest fight scenes in cinematic history. Shot entirely on location in Spain, the film is a testament to Hong Kong cinema’s global significance, blending action and comedy in a way that continues to captivate international audiences.
