Curiosidades

During filming, Keith Vitali accidentally kicked Jackie Chan in the throat after numerous takes for a particular fight scene. When Keith hit Jackie, he realized the danger of the situation and broke character by concern for Jackie's health. By doing this, Keith was yelled at by the entire crew as he was supposed to wait for the director to yell "Cut!", no matter what had happened in the scene.

There have been many rumors as to what happened during the filming of the big fight scene with Jackie Chan and Benny Urquidez, ranging from the film makers threatening to fire Urquidez for hitting Jackie too hard, or that the two actors did not get along. While they were somewhat competitive during rehearsals and filming for the fight, they respected each other and at the end of filming, gave each other a big hug.

The reason that this is titled "Wheels on Meals" instead of "Meals on Wheels" is because of superstition. Golden Harvest had produced two movies beginning with "M", O Esquadrão do Terror (1982) and "Ménage à Trois" (also known as Antes Tarde do que Nunca (1983)), both of which were major flops. So the company's executives changed the title hoping this movie would avoid the same problems, which it did.

Benny "The Jet" Urquidez has a kickboxing record of fifty-three fights. Forty-nine wins, one loss, one draw, and two no contests. Holding a black belt in Kenpo, Judo, Jujutsu, Shotokan Karate, Taekwondo, Kajukenbo, and Kendo.

While on-location for this movie, Benny Urquidez (Mondale's Henchman) and Keith Vitali (Mondale's Henchman) decided to visit the various dojos throughout Spain to test their skills against the local black belt talents.
