Tsukamoto's fascination with the transformation of man into machine culminated in the 1988 feature film Tetsuo. The film was shot in black and white and mixed from 35mm and 16mm film. The film tells the story of a Japanese businessman who gradually mutates into a human-robot. The film is characterized by nervous camerawork, wild editing and stop-motion which Tsukamoto adopted from Jan Švankmajer, whom he admired. Tsukamoto made the film with a crew made up of members of the Kaiju Theater and financed most of the budget, which was 13 million yen, out of his own pocket. The film was a major success abroad and gained cult status among sci-fi and body horror fans.
