	Movies - Tetsuo II: Body Hammer

Tetsuo II: Body Hammer is a 1992 Japanese science-fiction/horror film directed by Shinya Tsukamoto. It is a bigger-budget reworking of the same director's 1988 movie Tetsuo: The Iron Man
, utilizing similar themes and ideas to the earlier film (a Japanese salaryman, played by cult actor Tomorowo Taguchi, finds his body transforming into a weapon through sheer rage after his son is kidnapped by a gang of violent thugs -- but who are the thugs working for, and what is their real purpose?).

Although still a powerful and disturbing film, Tetsuo II: Body Hammer is somewhat more conventional than the highly acclaimed Tetsuo: The Iron Man, and for this reason is usually considered by fans to be inferior to the latter.
