They are neither fast nor slow. They are COMBUSTIBLE!

Some years after The Deer Hunter came out I had the opportunity to visit the church where the wedding scene was filmed. It was pretty cool.

Good point. I've actually met a couple of Nguyen Nguyens, but I didn't note their pronunciation or if there was any difference between them.
