I want to see Fassbinder stop at a pigeon coop, and write a message to a guy he recruited two minutes before, ordering him to kill some important guy halfway across europe. After dispatching a pigeon with the message he walks down a couple of streets and starts climbing some ruins. Eventually he finds an enemy propaganda flag on top of a tall column, or some other completely inaccessible place. Just as he removes the flag he receives a message that the mission he had ordered was completed and his newly experienced recruit is back in town.

And I want a long sequence where three courtesans make a group of guards behave like complete morons while Fassbinder does … something outside the frame. Casting suggestions: Penelope Cruz, Jessica Alba and Scarlett Johansson.

:smack: No, I don’t **really** want to see a long dead, wildly eccentric and productive german director (and occasional actor) play a spanish assassin.

Of all the ideas in this thread I like this one the best.  
Also would like to see a jump from the top of a church into a bale of hay.  
Would “Assassin’s Sense” be too much like Spider-sense? I’d like to see that too.  
You get a 100% completion achievement for sitting though the ending credits.
