Storyline

Two long decades after the archetype flesh/metal mutation in Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989), and seventeen years after Taniguchi Tomoo's equally majestic transformation in Tetsuo II: Body Hammer (1992), another fine specimen--the American-Japanese white collar worker, Anthony--embraces the catalytic power of pain and rage, when a mysterious driver runs over and kills his only son, Tom. Unable to come to terms with his loss, the pained father allows a magnificent bio-mechanic transmutation elevate his malleable flesh to a higher form of existence, as cold metal protrusions and sophisticated weaponry enhance his body. Now, Machine-Anthony is invulnerable. Who can confront the all-powerful Bullet Man? Written by Nick Riganas

English dialogues was a BIG mistake
23 October 2020 | by owjan-45979See all my reviews

Why the hell ppl in a Japanese sci-fi horror movie talk english? That was a mistake and disappointment and as much as I am a huge fan of first tetsuo I didn't like the last one very much. There was a big gap between first and last and that's a shame.
