Tetsuo: The Iron Man: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

''Tetsuo: The Iron Man'' is a 1989 Japanese Cyberpunk film by cult-film director Shinya Tsukamoto. This, his third film, is an extremely graphic but also strikingly-filmed fantasy shot in the same low-budget, underground-production style as his first two films. Tetsuo established Tsukamoto internationally and created his worldwide cult following. It was followed by ''Tetsuo II: Body Hammer'' and ''Tetsuo III: The Bullet Man''.

* [[All Just a Dream]]: The main character has a dream that his girlfriend turns into a machine-woman with a metallic penis that seems to be made from a vaccum cleaner. She then proceeds to rape him with it... and yes it is every bit as disturbing as it sounds.

* [[Arm Cannon]]: The second movie shows that murderous intent seems to manifest this (among other things) if the hate behind it is strong enough. {{spoiler|In reality, people who are capable of this were actually part of an experiment to create humans who could become living weapons}}

* [[Cultural Translation]]: The third movie has an American protagonist, [[Subverted Trope|but it is still set in Japan.]]

* [[Cyberpunk]]
