Literal title translation: 'Million Dollar Heiress'

Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao are friends who run a fast food business together in Barcalona and spend each day helping each other in and out of trouble. However, they both get involved with a prostitute (Lola Forner) after saving her from an angry client. As a result she stays at their flat and becomes the object of both of their affections.
Meanwhile private detective Sammo Hung is hired by a rich butler to find the count's daughter. Of course this is the woman who Jackie and Yuen are looking after and the three brothers paths cross. It all comes to a head when the woman is kidnapped and the three must plan a raid on the enemies castle.

Wheels on Meals (so named because films with an 'M' beginning their English title were seen as bad luck in Hong Kong) see's Jackie, Yuen and Sammo at the peak of their physical fitness. Jackie especially seems to be able to flip and kick like a monkey and executes some spectacular acrobatic feats. Sammo's direction is also solid with him delivering some good comic scenes between the action sequences. This is one film that does not lag in the middle when no action is present as the excellent cast are very likable and the locations make a suitable backdrop (but when did everyone in Spain start speaking fluent Mandarin?) The end sees arguably Jackie's best one on one fight ever. He fights Benny Urquidez and you can tell these guys are hitting each other for real! This film has dated badly in the fashion stakes though - check out Sammo's dodgy perm and Jackie's pink jacket. Also Yuen has more running to do than fighting which is a shame as he is usually an excellent kicker.

All in all one of the three brothers best with Jackie taking centre stage and Sammo developing his directional skills. Jackie seems to really come to life with Sammo to egg him on and he also makes a brilliant double act with Yuen Biao. It's a tough call what's the better film out of this and 'Dragon's Forever' but the end fight here is by far superior.
