Tetsuo: The Iron Man (鉄男, Tetsuo) (literally Iron Man in Japanese), is a 1989 Japanese tokusatsu cyberpunk body horror film written, produced, edited, and directed by Shinya Tsukamoto. It is shot in the same low-budget, underground-production style as his first two films. The film established Tsukamoto internationally and created his worldwide cult following. It was followed by Tetsuo II: Body Hammer (1992) and Tetsuo: The Bullet Man (2009).
