Kamikaze is a 1986 French science fiction film directed by Didier Grousset.[2][3]

Albert, a brilliant but under-appreciated research scientist gets fired from his job. Spending his time at home, he goes insane and develops a technology that enables him to kill people by sending death rays through television cameras. He kills TV announcers and is soon hunted by police.

The storyline has been characterised as “short and strange”.[4] The film received mixed reviews, with one reviewer writing that Kamikaze had a “cool vibe”.[5] A reviewer for trashcity.org called the film “impressive”.[6] A reviewer for cinefileonline.co.il wrote that Kamikaze delivered “evidence of style and flair” and was “stylish fun”.[7][8]

Luc Besson co-wrote and produced Kamikaze right after Subway.[9]

Two pieces have been published on a single in 1986.[10]

Kamikaze was originally released on VHS.[11] In 2013 a digitally re-mastered HD French-language version with Japanese subtitles (NTSC, region 2) was issued.[12]
