She and you are responsible for the loss,
Let me see the film,
Let us go and see the film tonight,

Hi
To my reckonning, the question tags would be as follows:
1. She and you are responsible for the loss, aren't you? - or - isn't it?
2. Let me see the film, will you? - because here we are asking the active subject "you" for permission. But if we say - You will let me see the film, won't you? - according to the "Question Tags" rule.
3. Let us go and see the film tonight, will you? - same reason as the sentence above, but should one ask - "Let's go and see the film tonight, shall we? Because the short form of Let us is seen as a proposition, and here the active subject is "US", moreover, the sentence is just a declarative proposition, and the "Question Tag" rule should not be applied in this case.
Well...that's how I see the issue... but I might be on the wrong track.
