Let the Bullets Fly is a 2010 Chinese dark comedy/action film co-written and directed by Wen Jiang, who also stars as the main character, with Chow Yun-Fat and You Ge. For a time, it was the highest grossing domestic film in Chinese history before being overtaken in 2012. A sequel is in the works for release in the near future.
