    Yeah. That’s my biggest question, too. I don’t care about Vietnam banning a movie, but I wonder how and why the South China Sea figures into things. Is the map only onscreen for a second or two, or are we talking about a significant plot point?

    Also, how did they feel about the travel poster that said “Surf Vietnam” in Back to the Future II? Five minutes ago, I would have thought that was an asinine question, but now I seriously wonder.
