* AmateurCast: Fassbinder would cast his lovers and friends in films just because he thought they'd be right for the part. Irm Hermann was a secretary for ADAC, Germany's largest motoring association, before becoming Fassbinder's girlfriend. She'd never acted in her life, but he cast her in his first film and gave her prominent roles in several others, and went on to have a distinguished acting career. In ''Ali: Fear Eats The Soul'', Fassbinder cast his then-lover El Hedi ben Salem as the male lead and the film won multiple awards.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope
Changed line(s) 2 (click to see context) from:
** Turned UpToEleven on ''In a Year of 13 Moons'' and ''The Third Generation'', Fassbinder’s two films between ''Film/TheMarriageOfMariaBraun'' (which, though released after ''In a Year of 13 Moons'', was made in early 1978) and ''Literature/BerlinAlexanderplatz''. During the production of ''The Marriage of Maria Braun'', he burned bridges with go-to cinematographer Michael Ballhaus. Also, he had fallen out the previous year with frequent actor and set designer. Kurt Raab. So on both films, Fassbinder was director, writer, editor, set designer, ''and'' director of photography, and he produced ''The Third Generation''.

* CopiouslyCreditedCreator: Fassbinder wrote almost every film he directed, and acted in about half of them, but he went beyond that in numerous cases. He edited around a third of his films (albeit under the pseudonym Franz Walsch), and was also credited multiple times in different roles.
