ABSTRACT
Let the Bullets Fly is set in fictional "Goose Town" sometime during the warring 1920s, in an unspecified area of southern China. Goose Town's despotic ruler, Huang Silang, has a bounty out for the military general-turned-bandit Zhang Mazi, who is notorious for his hijacking escapades that target the landed gentry's wealth. Huang Silang is a powerful dictator who has accrued his wealth from human and opium trafficking. The class structure of any capitalist society is not an organic process of social organisation; class structures are a result of economic management, the law, and the manner in which the law is policed. China's growing commercial film industry is one avenue for socialising new assumptions about China's leadership. Audiences require a high degree of concentration to follow the plot twists and the many uses of decoys by the protagonists, Zhang Mazi and Huang Silang, and their respective gang members.
