Plot: A slick revisioning of the "mechanization of man" themes introduced by Tsukamoto in the more meditative, chiraoscuro "Tetsuo: The Iron Man." Here, the Iron Man is a well-heeled, sedate Japanese businessman whose literal transition into metal, precipitated by the abduction of his son by punks, finds him taking the form of a human weapon--complete with a collapsible chest cannon and an assault rifle for an arm. As with its predecessor, most of the storytelling is done with grotesque, surreal imagery rather than with conventional narrative. Available in both R-rated and NC-17 versions.
