Vietnam Texas
Synopsis
A priest (Robert Ginty) learns that he fathered a child during his tour of duty in Vietnam and that the mother and child has relocated to Houston, Texas in the Little Saigon quarters. Searching for them, he also finds massive prejudice against the Vietnamese people, particularly among the fishing community in which they are trying to work. Setting out to right the wrongs, the priest tends to use more fisticuffs than friendly, priestly persuasion.

So Bad, It's Good
Films so earnestly awful they become transcendent viewing experiences. These lovable disasters prove the worst movies make the best entertainment. Unintentional comedy gold.
