Bizarre, beautiful and horrific, TETSUO II - BODY HAMMER, is the stunning follow-up to the hugely popular Tetsuo - The Iron Man. The young cyber-punk director, Shinya Tsukamoto, whose Iron Man inspired comparisons to Lynch and Cronenberg, has again created a visually astounding mix of weird sci-fi nightmares and relentlessly energetic live action manga. A wildly adventurous techno-thriller, Tetsuo II - Body Hammer revolves around a Tokyo businessman whose son is kidnapped by a gang of indoctrinated street thugs. Pushed over the edge by his son's disappearance, Taniguchi undergoes a cyborg transformation from a mild-mannered family man to a ferocious half-man / half-machine walking arsenal.

Tetsuo II - Body Hammer is a stylistically groundbreaking adventure into the abyss and beyond...
