(Rang zidan fei, Jiang Wen, China/Hong Kong 2010, 132 min., Mandarin and Cantonese w/ subtitles)

Rochester Premiere! Small-time bandit “Pocky” Zhang Mazi (Jiang Wen) arrives in Goose Town claiming to be its new mayor, but local kingpin Master Huang (Chow Yun Fat) is having none of it, leading to a series of shoot-outs, double-crosses, and kidnappings of epic (and comic) proportions. A deft blend of comedy and action that quickly became the highest-grossing film in Chinese history, Let the Bullets Fly is only now seeing a stateside release.
