What would happen if prehistoric man discovered iron in the stone age? This is the question asked by ''Ironmaster'' (Italian: ''La guerra del ferro: Ironmaster'') a 1983 film directed by Umberto Lenzi.

The answer is a lot of bloodshed as the treacherous caveman Vood uses his newfound technology to fight his way to the top and begin a reign of terror against his neighboring primitive tribes.

----
!!Ironmaster provides examples of the following tropes:

* AlternateHistory: Subverted. [[spoiler: Once Vood and his people are defeated, their iron weapons are thrown into a lake to be forgotten by history.]]
* AntagonistTitle: The titular ironmaster is a bloodthirsty warlord who the heroes must rise up against.
* FrazettaMan: A tribe of primitive hominids menace the human characters before Vood and his men wipe them out.
* FurBikini: Most of the female characters dress like this. The men don't wear much more.
* HandsomeHeroicCaveman: Ela is a pretty straight example.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: The fair-haired Ela and Isa are contrasted with the dark haired and evil Vood and Lith.
* NemeanSkinning: Vood wears a very unconvincing lion skin after slaying one early in the film.
* NippleAndDimed: Subverted. The women in the film do cover their breasts but Lith still gets to show off a nipple.
* NubileSavage: Impressive that Neolithic women found time to shave their legs.
* OneMillionBC: A comparatively mild example as all of the animals we see are at least from the Quaternary, but what appear to be Australopithecines running around in the Neolithic still qualifies.
* PantheraAwesome: Various characters are menaced by lions throughout the film. A single individual is enough to throw an entire village into screaming panic.
* RapePillageAndBurn: What Vood and his men do to the other tribes after discovering iron.
* StopMotion: The briefly seen mammoths are animated thusly.
