Kai Rabe gegen die Vatikankiller (Kai Rabe vs. the Vatican Killers) is a 1998 German comedy film directed by Thomas Jahn.[4]
Director Rufus Lindner is making a movie called "The Vatican Killers", a satirical film about the Pope's underground agents. The hero of the film is played by teen idol Kai Rabe. The production runs amok, starting with the murder of the leading actress. In addition, Kai Rabe rents two trigger-happy Israeli bodyguards. Lindner's other problems include a reckless producer who insists the film shoot go on, and a police officer investigating the murder who falls in love with a beautiful actress, who happens to be the playwright's sister.
