Kong: Skull Island, director Jordan Vogt-Roberts recaps when he was brutally assaulted by a mob of gangsters in Vietnam

After the blockbuster success of Kong: Skull Island, director Jordan Vogt-Roberts fled Hollywood to live the expat dream life in Vietnam. Then, one night at a Saigon club, he was brutally beaten by a mysterious mob of gangsters. Who were these monsters? Soon, he began directing something entirely different—an international hunt for the men who nearly killed him.

Super long read. It's gross, but I kind of want to see the footage of this attack. It sounds very brutal. Huge props for the stuntman to try to get into the middle of his friend and a beating that could end his life.

Just read it all. Crazy. It doesn't really confirm a motive in the article, but it seemed like the guys who started shit were just assholes who destroy clubs in big fights. Seems like the only thing that may have triggered it is that a girl shot him down.

Right, at first I thought it would be people that were mad at him because he was a director and they disliked him for being famous or something dumb, but it seems like it was just bad luck he was there when it happened.
