Bargain with Bullets is a 1937 American film. The first film produced by Million Dollar Productions, it features an African American cast of actors and performers. The gangster film is about the Harlem underworld.[1] It was described as the first Hollywood "all-Negro" film.[1] The film features several musical performances.[2]

Toddy Pictures Company acquired Million Dollar Productions and re-released the film as Gangsters on the Loose.[citation needed]

The gangster themed film drew scrutiny from film censorship boards in the U.S. requiring extensive editing of the film.[3]
