Ray Bong, also known as Clash, is the highest grossing Vietnamese film of 2009 and, as a result of that, it will be getting distribution in the US thanks to Indomina. Because of its distribution deal, we now have access to an action packed ass kicking trailer with solid English subtitles.
Now I know many of you don’t exactly watch many Vietnamese films but at least check out the trailer because it looks like a fun, adrenaline filled film with tons of martial arts and some decent explosion. I’m also digging the plot regardless of how original it may or may not be. Hit the jump to check out the trailer and synopsis.
Synopsis:
CLASH is a heart-pounding, martial arts, shoot-em up film that brings Vietnamese action cinema
to the front stage,” said Singh Mann. “The film exemplifies the Indomina brand, and we are excited to showcase exceptional filmmaking coming from Vietnam.”
CLASH follows Trinh (Ngô Thanh Vân), a mercenary, assigned to recover a stolen hard drive containing codes to Vietnam’s first satellite, the VINASAT.1. She creates an ensemble of specialists, Quan (Johnny Trí Nguyễn) and Cang (Lâm Minh Thang), to regain control of the hard drive before it is sold to the Chinese Triad. Lies and betrayal unfold as Trinh uncovers the truth behind her squad. Who can she trust?
CLASH opened in Vietnam with great box office success, earning over $1 Million U.S., making it the country’s highest grossing film in 2009. The film was released under the title “Bayrong” in Vietnam.
The film is directorLe Thanh Son first feature and was written by Johnny Tri Nguyen, the same guy who was Spiderman’s stunt double and who wrote The Rebel. At the moment there is not set release date but we can assume it will be very limited.
