KineticSeoul This movie does drag a bit at certain points. Personally multiple times I just wanted it to just fast-forward to the next Jackie Chan action sequences. This one really does bring out Jackie's acrobatic skills. At some parts it's like watching the Chinese Three Stooges, and the trademark Jackie Chan humor works. This one is more story focused, not a great story but a watchable one. But sometimes just didn't seem to have enough action. The main highlight fight is the one with Jackie Chan vs. Benny "The Jet" Urquidez. It's one of Jackie's highlight fights in movie history for a reason. Sammo Hung is amusing as this kid detective guy, that is amateurish but persistent. His fight sequence with the fencing expert was a entertaining watch as well. The trio does a good job of bringing in that humor and tenacity on screen. When it comes to the plot it seemed like a live action Chinese version of "The Castle of Cagliostro". Except with kung-fu and stuff. Overall it's cool to see Jackie during his prime. Despite few dragged out parts and parts that are a bit rushed. This is still a fun movie with flashy but entertaining fight choreography.7.3/10
Andrei Pavlov It is one of those rare examples when I get absolutely disappointed by a Sammo Hung Kam-Bo movie and by the mighty trio. It simply bores me on each level: fighting choreography, jokes, gags and slapstick, and stunts. For me this movie does not work at all and it succeeds only in embarrassing me. The only good thing is that this DVD did not cost me much being a "cheap" release.If I need high-quality "fighting choreography, jokes, gags and slapstick, and stunts", I spin my "Sing si lip yan" DVD, "Long xiong hu di" DVD, or "Long xiao ye" one. It never gets any better than that. In my very humble opinion of course.Sorry, Mr Jackie Chan and all his fans, but I simply dislike this flick. Maybe Spain and China is like milk and salty cucumbers. A mixture that refuses to digest.Once I mentioned everything that I didn't like about this movie on Jackie Chan board (even the so often praised Benny vs. Jackie fight looks poor to me). I am not in the mood to repeat it all here again.3 out of 10 (there are still a few highlights and you know them, if you've watched it). Thanks for attention.
gridoon How much you'll enjoy this film depends on how much silliness you're willing to tolerate. Sample exchange:"I know seven ways to break into that castle""Why not six or eight?""Because seven is my lucky number!"It's all rather shoddily made, but at the same time winningly lighthearted. There's very little action until the last 10 minutes....then there's some really good action (Jackie's fight, Yuen Biao's amazing acrobatics). (**)P.S. Doesn't the pretty Lola Forner look a lot like Carole Bouquet?
FinnishChanFan What can i say? It was great. Second best movie from Jackie, Sammo and yuen have done together. The best is Dragon Forever. Movie includes awesome stunts, great fights and a few cameos by the "lucky stars". end fight sequence has been titled the best! Although, i dont understand the name. Wheels on Meals? It would have been better as "Meals on Wheels".
