10 Action-Packed Jackie Chan Movies You've Likely Never Seen

8. Wheels On Meals

Ignoring the rather unusual title, Wheels on Meals is a special piece of action-comedy cinema. Made at the height of Chan's collaborative era in the 1980s alongside other action comedy stalwarts Sammo Hung and Biao Yuen, Wheels on Meals provides audiences a thrilling movie with a triumvirate of Hong Kong's biggest stars.

Set in Barcelona, two cousins (Chan and Yeun) who own a mobile food van agree to help a bumbling private investigator (Hung) in his effort to find a relentless pickpocket and save her from the clutches of dastardly men. It's a real treat to see these Hong Kong superstars play off one another as they frantically blaze around the streets of Barcelona, fighting their way into a castle run by an evil gang. It also has the distinction of featuring one of the greatest fights ever committed to film, where Chan faces off against the genuine kickboxing world champion Benny Urquidez. It's stupidly brilliant.
