Wheels On Meals (DVD) * * * * 

If your looking for loads of on-the-edge action, this is not the film for you. But if your looking for mad cap comedy and utter stupidity, then this IS the film for you. Right from the very start of the film you see Jackie's comedic traits pull through and working together with Yuen Biao and Samo Hung makes this three brothers film a laugh a minute. 

Jackie and Yuen play two fast food cooks, also brothers, and after lusting over a pickpocket they find themselves deep in trouble. Samo plays a bungling detective searching for a missing heiress, who incidentally is the good looking pickpocket. 

Coming together as the three kung-fu fighting, musketeers, the laughter keeps on reeling and the kicks keep on coming. All in all, this is a very strange film, unlike any others I have seen.

The English audio track is lame as were most from the eighties, and the subtitles say completely different things than the voices do in many an occasion. Bust still worth a view.
