King of the Feather Wars
​
An inadvertent flying foreskin and a near crucifixion in a mango tree launch two country-singing teens, Beau and Annie, on an island-hopping romp across the Philippines.
Hard times set them to scamming cockfights with a lovable overweight rooster while Annie’s jacked, tricycle-racing boyfriend and his "Midnight Rocket" keep them one step ahead of the police and their homophobic stepfather.
But their luck runs out when Beau risks all at the Slasher Derby Championships. Shot on location in full sunlight, this is not a film for whiners, weepers, or weak-bladdered candy suckers.
