There are two plays and two movies using variations of the phrase "Bang Bang You're Dead" as title.

Bang! Bang! You're Dead by Tim Kelly

Also known by the full title of Bang! Bang! You're Dead or... What I Learned from Watching Television

The original text

The play is set at the taping of a bizarre TV game show, where the boyish host, Billy the Kid, guides two teams of contestants through a maze of facts and opinions. Prizes include such oddities as a trip to Boot Hill to view the tombstones and a coroner’s pass to the next autopsy on a teenage handgun victim. The strange proceedings are stopped by a disgruntled viewer who decides the subject matter is much too serious for fun and games. What will Billy do? There’s an unexpected twist. The obvious message — handguns can kill — is dealt with in clever fashion.
