I was line producer this film. Today I find it in here. It is pity I can not find my name in "Cast and Crew" How can we miss the important position in here. I was worked so so hard for this film. From pre to shoot, I think we should respect all of positions,
Sorry find this issue too late in here.
Through the shooting time, I was hard to find the good location and manage crew. You know, it was afflicted to shoot the action film in Vietnam in 13 years ago.
Shortly, if it was miss from IMDb in the typing "Cast and Crew" part. Please look the poster again to fill in this part "Cast and Crew". My name is Nguyen Thi Minh Son or shortly in MINH-SON NGUYEN. Necessarily, this is the legitimate interests of film maker.
Thank you!
Son.

Clash or Bay Rong is an action movie made in Vietnam marked the second collaboration of Johnny Tri Nguyen and Veronica Ngo the queen and the king of action movie from Vietnam after the impressive The Rebel that put Vietnam on the list of Asian country that can produce bad-ass movie but unlike The Rebel the plot of Clash is too convoluted and mellowdramatic for it own good.The movie trying hard to make the audience care about Quang and Trinh as a character but forget it just a simple cops and robbers story and a bad one.The cinematography is ugly and most of the time poorly lit when the characters standing in the dark but to be honest as soon as the bad stuff go away you will feel rewarded by the action cause it freakin deliver.If you looking for an action movie with a heart choose The Rebel but if you already saw The Rebel choose Clash it a good to waste time
Romance, action, mystery, suspense, humor; and all the persistence the Vietnamese are known for. Not bad at all. Seen on Tubi, the free streaming site.
I picked out CLASH from the shelves on the strength of it being a Vietnamese martial arts thriller – and knowing the calibre of recent Thai fare in the same genre, I was hoping it would be up to the challenge. Sadly, it turns out to be a bit of a lacklustre effort, one that's hampered by a low budget and a lack of creativity and freedom in delivering the action.
As soon as the central team are holed up in a dilapidated, run-down old country house as their base of operations, I knew this would be a shot-on-the-cheap kind of movie. And so it turns out to be. Strangely, the plot seems to be virtually copied from the Frankenheimer movie RONIN, right down to the hotel stakeout, the double cross, and the reveal of one character's background at the end. Needless to say, it doesn't hold a candle to that movie.
Instead, this is the kind of predictable and slightly cheesy fare that appears to have been done on the cheap. The script is poor and the performances are nothing to write home about, which leaves us with the martial arts to contend with. I can report that the fights are pretty well staged, if not reaching the same level of greatness that we saw in ONG BAK, for example. Johnny Nguyen is a great fighter, but the camera doesn't love him like it loves him in WARRIOR KING and it's all just a little bit by rote. The same goes for Ngo Thanh Van – she's arresting, but only on a B-movie level.
The result is a film that's average at best, and which feels a little bit stale and past it's sell by date. Nevertheless, I plan to check out a few more Vietnamese movies to see what they're capable of delivering.

What does matter in this movie? Isn't it the action? You can throw in a nice characterisation too and you have a nice mixture of an Martial Arts movie. What more to expect? The answer to that is up to you. The action choreography is good enough. The group effect and the actors do their best to hold the tight story together.
While it mixes a few things in the group dynamic (and a few foreseeable "twists" here and there), it does work as a straight story, if you do not expect too much from it. And the (brief)case should not bother you too much. Or the significance it holds (or doesn't). Even if isn't solved for you, this was meant to be that way. And while that seems a bit too much claim for a martial arts movie, it holds up
