Tetsuo: The Iron Man is a 1989 Japanese Cyberpunk film by cult-film director Shinya Tsukamoto. His third film, Tetsuo is an extremely graphic but also strikingly-filmed fantasy shot in the same low-budget, underground-production style as his first two films. It established Tsukamoto internationally and created his worldwide cult following. It was followed by Tetsuo II: Body Hammer and Tetsuo III: The Bullet Man. The movies tells the tale of a man who, after hitting a metal fetishist with his car, attempts to hide the mess by dumping the body into a ravine.
