Four Oddballs of Saigon or The Saigon Fabulous Four is a 1973 Vietnamese 35mm eastmancolor film directed by La Thoại Tân.

This foreign, English-subtitled film dramatizes the effect of the Vietnam War on a single South Vietnamese family, the inner conflict of decisions by each member of the family whether to remain in Vietnam or leave with the imminent advance and fall of Hue and eventual fall of Vietnam. Dat Kho, who's cast includes the beloved Vietnamese inconic anti-war songwriter/poet/artist Trinh Cong Son (1939-2001) who posthumously won the World Peace Music Award in 2004, is a story of the love of family, love of homeland, love of the culture and language of Vietnam and the ethereal love of the ingenue daughter for her fiance, foiled by the antagonistic forces of the ever-present war. A thought-provoking film.

In the countryside of South Vietnam during the war, a local woman falls in love with a soldier stationed nearby, not knowing he had already married and a confrontation with his wife would soon break off the dalliance. 10 years later, a fateful event brings them all back together to determine once and for all what their future paths would be.

A police officer receives a worn-out and traumatised woman who begs him to take actions against a ruthless man that ruined her life, and only gives his moniker, Tín Mã Nàm, meaning “crazy horse” in Cantonese. As the officer sets out to search for Tín Mã Nàm, a network of intricate crimes, espionage and bloody murders beyond his imagination begins to unfold.
