<B>TOKYO FIST - 1995</B>
<P>
From the twisted brain that brought us <I>Tetsuo: The Iron Man</I>
and <I>Tetsuo II: Body Hammer</I> comes another serving
of <B>Cronenberg</B>-by-way-of-Japan weirdness.
<P>
Tsuda is your typical Japanese "salaryman" - a
conservative, hard-working insurance salesman. His job is
uninteresting and mundane. His relationship with his fiancee,
Hizuru, is distant and chilly. His days are marked only by
the television schedule. It seems that Tsuda is stuck in a
rut . . . until he bumps into his old schoolmate Kohji, a
professional boxer. Old rivalries (or perhaps a twisted
camaraderie) set events into motion. Kohji attempts to seduce
Hizuru. Hizuru begins a body mutilation campaign and plays her
two suitors against one another. Tsuda trains to become a boxer
in order to destroy Kohji . . . And lots of messiness ensues.
