Let the Bullets Fly is a 2010 action comedy film written and directed by Jiang Wen, based on a story by Ma Shitu. The film is a Chinese-Hong Kong co-production, set in Sichuan during the 1920s when the bandit Zhang descends upon a town posing as its new governor. The film also stars Chow Yun-fat, Ge You, Carina Lau, and Chen Kun.

Production

Director Jiang Wen went over 30 drafts of the film's script. Jiang Wen and his writing team aimed to adapt the political satire of Ma Shitu’s (马识途) original short story, Ten Extraordinary Chinese Stories (夜谭十记), into an action-oriented narrative.

Filming took place primarily in Guangdong province, utilizing the Kaiping Diaolou (开平碉楼) in Zili Village (自力村) and Magang (马冈). These UNESCO World Heritage sites, characterized by fortified towers that blend Western and Chinese architectural elements, provided the setting for the fictional Goose Town (鹅城). The use of these historical structures grounded the production in an authentic setting, avoiding reliance on studio-built sets.

Joe Hisaishi composed the film's score. Jiang Wen requested the repurposing of orchestral themes from their previous collaboration, The Sun Also Rises (2007), to maintain thematic consistency across his "Beiyang Trilogy." The soundtrack employs brass-heavy arrangements to reinforce the film's masculine aesthetic and historical scale.

The film used the dark tones and the arrangement of yellow lighting to make the entire film more nostalgic and have a stronger sense of The Times. Its visual presentation also relies on rapid editing, frequent close-ups, compressed background space, and controlled camera movement to create a strong visual rhythm and heighten narrative tension.

The film's violent aesthetic is in line with the war background of the film in the 1920s, enhancing the film's entertainment value. Its stylized violence also reflects the film's use of western and spaghetti western genre conventions, including firearms, bandit figures, lawless local settings, and graphic violence.
