Buildoi Tolona

Having served 10 years in prison, Lam recalls his childhood and youth. Lam grew up with his older brother Hung in the most criminal district of Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon ) - in Cholon Chinatown . Their father died early, and so the brothers became “ ” - fatherless, rejected street children of a large southern Vietnamese port city. The elder brother Hung became the leader of the street gang of the whole Tolon. They began to call him that - Hung "Thelon". Hung taught Lama not to give up in fights. But Lam in childhood was frail, weak and weak-willed. When Lam grew up and became a young guy, he left his brother from Telon. But the criminal world is not letting go of the “buoys" so simply. One day, Lam made an acquaintance with a Hyong girl. And Huong turned out to be Tay’s friend “Dirt,” an influential leader of another big gang in Ho Chi Minh, who was distributing drugs throughout the city. Lam with Huong had no choice but to flee to the territory of Telon, under the protection of his brother Hung "Thelon" ...

The Vietnam Department of Cinematography finally banned the action movie "Chinatown" with Johnny Nguyen in the lead role. This means that the film is not destined to come out not only in Vietnam, but also abroad. Here is the conclusion of the Cinema Board of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism:

In “The Tolon Buidoi”, the law of cinema was violated, because it demonstrates glaring scenes of gang raids, chaotic fights with knives, swords, machetes, blood spills everywhere ... without any interference from the authorities, police, people or other social forces.

Not so long ago, producers sent an edited version of Theloid Buidoi, in which a number of violent scenes were cut and some corresponding scenes inserted. But the situation as a whole has not been corrected, so the decision was made not to issue a license to the film "The Toulon Buido".

Because of this decision, the film will go to gather dust on the shelf in the film archive. In the end, it turns out that 16 billion Vietnamese dong spent on the filming went nowhere.

If you believe the data of one of the well-known foreign resources, the hour and a half remounted version for the censors of the banned Vietnamese film "The Tolon Buoys" first appeared on YouTube, and then went to torrent trackers.

The response of the director Charlie Nguyen:

I am extremely shocked and saddened, as if someone desires death for my child. It was just a draft, with truncated content, sound, color grading, special effects and framing. I don’t want anyone to see this version, because it resembles a semi-finished product! We put a lot of effort into providing the audience with the perfect movie. And now we have to put up with the fact that people watch a poor-quality and incomplete version and evaluate the film on it. The one who posted the "Tolon Buoys" to the network is simply not very literate, and has acted too cruelly towards the film and our team. I hope the culprit will be arrested and put on trial.
