Trivia

The reason that the film is titled "Wheels on Meals" instead of "Meals on Wheels" is because of superstition. Golden Harvest had produced two films beginning with "M", Megaforce and a film titled Menage a Trois, both of which were major flops. So the company's executives changed the title hoping this film would avoid the same problems, which it did. See more »

Goofs

Continuity: When Jackie and the others are chased by the gangsters, they hit the cars with their rear bumper, the bumpers deform. Then in the next shot, the bumpers are okay again. See more »
