Big Bullet (Chinese: 衝鋒隊怒火街頭; pinyin: Chong feng dui nu huo jie tou) is a 1996 Hong Kong action film directed and produced by Benny Chan, and written by Benny Chan, Joe Ma and Susan Chan. It won awards for film editing at the 1996 Golden Horse Film Festival and the 16th Hong Kong Film Awards.

Plot

After assaulting his tactical commander during a raid gone sour, a dedicated but temperamental cop Sergeant Bill Chu is transferred to the Emergency Unit, long considered to be the police force's dumping ground for problem cops. Together with his fellow EU patrol officers, Bill continues to fight crime and stops the Professor's attempt to smuggle confiscated money which he managed to retrieve from Interpol HQ out of Hong Kong via the British air base.

Big Bullet was released in Hong Kong on 26 July 1996. It grossed a total of HK$9,771,575.
