Tetsuo: The Iron Man / Tetsuo II: Body Hammer [Blu-ray]

Awesome that this release includes both movies. Haven't watched sequel yet tho.

Yes yes yes! The first one is great and influenced a lot of 90's pop culture. This movie is a frenetic experience, part body horror dark comedy and stop motion that catapults you from beginning to end in a dizzying spectacle. The second film is meh, but a nice addition to the package at the very least.

Totally original concept and powerful acting in these 2 cyber classics which raise interesting questions about the distorting impact of an indifferent sociery on modern man

The Japanese  Eraserhead ?Shin'ya Tsukamoto's decision to film in black and white was only one of many artistic choices culminating in a cult classic that still holds up over 25 years later. Unlike mediocre movies, it has the potential to haunt you a full two decades after watching it; you may not remember less important aspects such as plot, but you will certainly remember the transformation of Tetsuo. Long before Hollywood's Transformer or Iron Man flicks became mainstays at the multiplex, Tetsuo was both Iron Man and a Transformer.👹Tetsuo would work well as a silent film but for the fact that the soundtrack and audio effects are part of what makes The Iron Man so stunning. This was created in the relatively early days of Industrial music (e.g., Einstürzende Neubauten), and while nothing special today, it was very memorable in 1990. One can imagine how painstaking it must have been to do all of the stop motion animation in this work of art; it's doubtful that directors / producers would put in this much work today, given CGI.👺Beyond expectations, Body Hammer is a worthy sequel. Although I ordered this double feature Blu-ray from Amazon's UK site (since it cost about half the asking price on this site), it looks like prices here have dropped to below $20, which reasonable for a cult flick. Just be aware it's Region B: not the US standard for playback.

Que sepa es la única edición que existe en bluray de esta película. No está doblada del japonés y únicamente tiene subtítulos en inglés.

Das sind die absoluten Klassiker des Cyberpunk Horrorfilms für Fans von Shinya Tsukamoto. Nichts für schwache Nerven oder zarte Gemüter und absolut crazy!

WOW.I've had the first Tetsuo on DVD for a long time, but it NEVER looked this good.I picked this up mostly to own the sequel, as it had been almost 20 years since I'd seen it, and it holds up well due to the insanity of the practical effects, and the 16mm it was shot on.It didn't work on my regular blu ray player, but it worked just fine in my region free one, so be aware before you purchase, as it is a region locked blu.All that said, this is absolutely worth the purchase if you've got all region capabilities in your home.Great price for the films, and good value for your bucks, this one.Not for the casual viewer, but definitely a treasure for cult cinema fans.

Tsukamoto riesce a trasmettere l'Odio e l'Amore che l'uomo ha nei confronti della Tecnologia/Macchine, ciò che acquista e ciò che perde una volta che non può farne a meno.Edizione BluRay Inglese, molto buona, copertina cartonata con dettagli dei film, cofanetto con doppia facciata, una per Iron Man e l'altra per Body Hammer, 1 disco BD50 e l'altro contenuti Extra in Dvd.Video misterioso, c'è scritto un HD Ready 1080P (? il ready è normalmente da 720P) entrambi i film dul singolo disco BD50.Trasposizione HD Video SUPERVISIONATA dal Regista!Lingua Giapponese Dts-HD, sottotitoli in inglese, ma su film così praticamente non servono!DA AVERE

Tetsuo the iron man prend aux tripes. Il est visuellement très impréssionnant. The body hammer est beaucoup plus conventionnel et la magie opère moins.
