Line 6: Notable for a) being one of the few modern films that unites Yuen Biao, Jackie Chan, and Sammo Hung, and b) an epic fight sequence between Jackie and Benny The Jet. Not to be confused with the nonprofit organization, Meals on Wheels. {{tropelist}} ~~----~~ ~~=== ''Wheels On Meals'' provides examples of: ===~~ * [[Acrofatic]]: Sammo Hung's trademark, although Moby still isn't as agile as Thomas or David. {{quote\| '''Thomas:''' Let's climb the trees!~~<br />~~ '''Moby:''' ...elephants can't climb trees! }} * [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]: Aside from {{spoiler\|Sylvia's father and uncle}} being pretty horrid people, David and Thomas are [[What the Hell, Hero?\|called out]] by Moby for thinking of abandoning Sylvia once they find out that Sylvia is {{spoiler\|the daughter of a count.}} * [[California Doubling]]: Averted.

Where did he even ''get'' a crossbow that shoots grappling hooks?! * [[~~Whos~~Who's Onon First?]]: Moby is talking to two insane people. Pretending to tell him a secret, Moby tells one of them, "Don't tell anyone else." The other asks what Moby told him, and he says truthfully, "He told me not to tell anyone else." This starts a fight between the two of them. {{reflist}} [[Category:Films of the 1980s]] [[Category:Wheels Onon Meals]] [[Category:Film]] [[Category:Martial Arts Movie]] [[Category:Hong Kong Films]]
