Bang Bang is a Brazilian telenovela produced and broadcast by TV Globo. It premiered on 3 October 2005, replacing A Lua Me Disse, and ended on 22 April 2006, replaced by Cobras & Lagartos. The telenovela is created by Mário Prata, who wrote the first thirty-four episodes before leaving due to health problems, and was replaced by Carlos Lombardi. The plot was considered a failure by the press due to the low quality of the story and poor reception.
The telenovela stars Bruno Garcia, Fernanda Lima, Mauro Mendonça, Joana Fomm, Giulia Gam, Ney Latorraca, Marisa Orth, and Carol Castro.
