Movie Critic: Meals on Wheels

If you just that this is another one of Jackie Chan's movies, you'd be wrong. Compared to "Heart of Dragon", 1985, this movie is off the charts.
The opening camera angles give the movie alot of flavor; but it seems to loose that until the ending of the movie. Thomas (Jackie Chan) and his friend David (Yuen Biao) live together. They run a restaurant from their car; thus the title, meals on wheels. David's father is in a mental institution. While visiting them, they run into a gorgeuos woman, whos mother is dating David's dad. They later find out, unfortinately for them, that she is a thief. When some men try to attack her, they are forced to try to hide her in their car. On a side story in the movie, Hung (Sammo Hung) is a private that is looking for a woman. He was hired to do so by a decently dressed man. I am not going to say any more because i will give away the movie and you will not want to se the movie.
The plot of this story is believable. If you like action scenes, then you will like this movie. Chan and Biao make a good martial arts duo. The light of the scenes are pretty straight forward, and the scene changes are a tiny bit jumpy. If you want to see a movie just to enjoy it and laugh, then this is a good movie for you to watch. If you care alot about the cinematics of the movie, wait to see this movie. I advise all people to see atleast one Jackie Chan Movie. This would be a good choice. Since this movie is directed by one of the characters, the camera's have a greater insight of the characters.


This is Jake L's. Over and out

Haha sounds like a good movie, is this on the dvd you gave me? If it is I'll go watch it haha. There are a lot of Jackie Chan movies I have not seen, most of them are of him jumping around doing flips and beating up bad guys, but that is still pretty fun to watch eh?

Jackie Chan is awesome (shown by user name). I think that Waylan is right, you can't really expect an Oscar winning film from him, but you can get some hilarious multiracial dialog when you throw in Chris Tucker or Owen Wilson. And there is always a forty year old Chinese man doing flips to draw your attention. The point is his films are fun.
