Hot Boy Nổi Loạn và Câu Chuyện Về Thằng Cười, Cô Gái Điếm Và Con Vịt (Hot Studs On The Loose and The Story Of The Guy Who Smiles, The Prostitute And The Duck), or simply Hot Boy Nổi Loạn is Vietnam's first example of a serious gay-themed movie with a progressive message. Debuting in August 2011 under the rather uninspired English title Lost In Paradise, the film managed to make waves among the conservative public and media of Vietnam thanks to its humanistic take on homosexuality and prostitution, being at once dark and humorous, as well as handling trendy and controversial topics with subtlety and production values rarely seen in current Vietnamese cinema.As the title implies, the plot is made up of two separate storylines, both about people on the bottom rung of Saigon's gritty society. The first one is about a male prostitute who keeps two incredibly well-groomed cats, seeking to escape his abusive boyfriend and falling in love with a boy who is running away from his hometown after being outed against his wishes. The second is about a female sex worker befriending a mute, mentally-challenged man who hatches a duck from an egg. | |

| Lost In Paradise / int_562abd51 | comment |
Let's Get Dangerous!: Hạnh and Lam again. Lam then proceeds to Take a Level in Badass on the definitely wrong side of the law. It doesn't end well. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Lost In Paradise / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Trần Thị Phước Hạnh, an ironic example. Phước means "luck" and Hạnh means "womanly virtues". She's a whore with a shitty life. | |

Camp Gay: Some of the male sex workers and their customers. One patron is outrageously so, which is Played for Laughs. Lam is a borderline example. | |

Long Title: The full title is "Hot Studs on the Loose and the Story of the Guy Who Smiles, the Prostitute, and the Duck". Dubbing shortens it to "Lost in Paradise". | |

Two Lines, No Waiting: As stated in the description, the film follows two separate Plot Threads, both about sex workers — one of them is male and trapped in an abusive relationship he wants to end. The other is female and befriends a disabled man and a duck. | |

Manly Gay: Đông is muscular, very aggressive, and dominating. Khôi is masculine as well but in a less toxic way — he's not afraid of crying when feeling overwhelmed, which, given his crappy circumstances, happens a lot. | |
