Tetsuo II: Body Hammer
This is a 1992 Japanese film called Tetsuo II: Body Hammer, which was directed by Shinya Tsukamoto. They made it with a bigger budget than the original Tetsuo: The Iron Man, which was made in 1989. It has many of the same themes and ideas as the original film (a Japanese salaryman, played by cult actor Tomorowo Taguchi, finds his body transforming into a weapon through sheer rage after his son is kidnapped by a gang of violent thugs.) Not as well-liked as its predecessor, but it did win the Critic's Award at the 3rd Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival in February 1992, which is where it was shown.
