WHEELS-ON-MEALS

Wheels on Meals  Two Chinese food truck owners and their private detective friend, who’ve made a home in Barcelona, get mixed up with a clever pickpocket, sending them on a surprise adventure. When the pickpocket turns out to be the heiress to a vast fortune, the Three Dragons team up to protect her from a distant relative looking to take the money for himself. Featuring what’s often considered Jackie Chan’s greatest one-on-one fight scene, versus real-life kickboxer Benny “The Jet” Urquidez, Sammo Hung’s blend of comedic lightness and shocking action reached new heights for martial arts films.  

Dragons Forever  In the final film starring the Three Dragons, Jackie Chan plays against type as a slick lawyer hired by a chemical plant to represent them against... a fishery suing over pollutants. When he hires two friends to look into the fishery’s owner to discredit her, they uncover the dirty secret that the chemical plant is actually manufacturing drugs. When one of them ends up in trouble with the drug operation, the other two come to the rescue, fighting their way through an army of henchmen, leading to a climax that features a rematch between Jackie and Benny “The Jet” Urquidez.
