Filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder had his first film lead and final
acting role in 1982's KAMIKAZE '89. Loosely based on Per Wahlöö's
"Murder on the 31st Floor", the film finds Fassbinder as alcoholic
police lieutenant Jansen investigating a bomb threat against The
Combine, the monolithic company that controls all arts, news, and
entertainment for The Federal Republic of Germany. He's got "ninety six
hours to crack his last case... his time's already up."
