i liked the first tetsuo slightly better. tetsuo II is a little more slower paced and not full of the action of the first film. get the director's cut, as the last part of the movie makes a little more sense. tetsuo II is well worth checking out though there is not as much stop action as the first. yea, this should of been in b&W also and more money spent on more special effects. i look forward to more movies like this. check out the soundtrack to both I & II. it is short but good.
