Panische Zeiten is a German feature film from 1980 with Udo Lindenberg in a double role. Lindenberg produced, wrote and staged the work. He also wrote the music and played both of the leading roles. The strip quoted well-known film clichés and aimed at a young audience.
Many well-known actors and other contemporary celebrities participated in the comedy. Among them was u. a. also Hark Bohm , for whose film North Sea is Mordsee he wrote music. But Udo Lindenberg also brought the almost forgotten Eddie Constantine in front of the camera, who was once again allowed to play his star role as "Lemmy Caution".

The story begins with Udo Lindenberg being kidnapped by dubious shadowy figures with political motives after a successful concert. Udo's manager ( Fritz Rau as himself) hires the detective Coolman (or Koolmann) to find Udo. With the help of Lemmy Caution , Udo Lindenberg is freed and finally elected Chancellor. He forms his cabinet from members of his stage shows at the time.

Quote: “Lindenberg put everything into the film that would otherwise perk up young moviegoers: a few brawls that don't let anyone go, slapstick and love stories, tension and danger, a brothel scene and lots of music. He stole a few popular movie relics and ironically marched a parade of revered guides to entertainment cinema. Eddie Constantine, wrapped in an aura of melancholy as Lemmy Caution, fights in the tried and tested manner with two doctors: 'No time for discussions. Do you have two beds left? You will need them.
