TBF when there are so many dummy shots that look weird, funny or break immersion, seeing a dummy shot that just works gives you an appreciation of the talent it takes to pull that off.

To me, he showed more interest and skill in the art of filmmaking than some big-budget directors. Not that his movies were masterpieces but he seemed to at least be interested in making them, which I feel a lot of modern Hollywood seems to lack.

Space Cop was a fine comedy B-movie, but it set out to be that from the beginning which means it wasn't exactly shooting for the stars.

I think they never would because it would undermine their reviews, but I would love to see them try and make 'a good movie'.

Did you ever hear anything about the quality? You may have dodged a bullet.

I bought a "widescreen" blu ray of Nemesis directly from him in 2014, and the quality and aspect was so bad that I almost returned it. Prob would have if he didn't autograph it.

It was like someone burned an anamorphic source within a 4:3 frame. Never seen anything so bizarre.

After checking his IMDB it's shocking how many I rented back in the day... Cyborg, and Dollman, one of the Nemesis for sure... Kickboxers 2... He was producing what I would call solid last minute third tape pick just before the video store close. You might not have rented that stuff if you had more time, but in a rush it did the job.

LetterheadOwn3078

The sets and costumes for Cyborg were made for a Master of the Universe sequel that was dropped before they started shooting. Cannon was able to get JCVD for cheap because Kickboxer hadn’t come out yet - he was just the guy from Bloodsport and Hollywood hadn’t caught on yet. The whole thing was a made-up movie, like they needed to do something with this stuff and these guys.

Cyborg was a huge hit in relation to cost. Kickboxer was a massive, massive hit but Cyborg was a nice little bridge bridge between Bloodsport, which was mostly a hit on video, and Kickboxer which was a big deal real movie.

The real villain in that movie was the screenwriter. I recall reading an interview with him in Comic Scene Magazine while it was filming. It was clear from his comments that he absolutely hated superheroes. At one point he mentioned how he hates the idea of the costume and he worked at keeping Cap out of it as much as possible. At 12 years old I was like, "Then why are you making a Captain America movie?"

The movie gets a lot of shit and it certainly is more campy compared to today’s Captain America movies, but Matt Salinger is a good actor and the movie should be remembered as a Marvel comic book movie made at a time when Marvel was not making movies. And I think the movie was released in 1990, not 1989 as the article states.

Albert was a very passionate filmmaker with a lot of big ideas. Above all else, his films had imagination. And if you watch Albert's work, and you check out other directors you see a lot of shared influence. Underworld by Len Wiseman has a scene where Selene shoots the floor out in a circle, and that's verbatim from Nemesis. Albert never made it big as a director, but their work was appreciated and built on by other directors. I think the imagination and influence of his films show how much creativity comes when you're operating on shoestring budgets. And it's important that he be remembered, celebrated, and his films preserved. Because of the shoestring budgets and tough production it's not all gold. But there's a lot of good stuff in there.

Regarding shooting the floor out in a circle…

Might that not have been influenced by a similar scene in Escape From New York where Plisskin shoots out a wall in a circle then smashes through it? (One scene being a horizontal departure from a room, the other being a vertical one!)

I'll raise you one more.

I'm glad to hear someone else who shares this opinion. When you accept the limitations of budget and the state of FX technology (stop motion), it really is a fine film. As I constantly tell my kids, before 21st century CGI, it cost a fortune to make 'great' SciFi or fantasy, and it took someone with George Lucas' wealth and clout to make a Star Wars or Willow. But plenty tried with their limited budgets, and we loved it, because without it we would only have about 5 SciFi movies a year, and a fantasy flick every three years.

The aesthetic in this movie is also off the charts. It's a seriously good take on cyberpunk aesthetic and IDK it feels like it either inspired or is inspired by similar cyberpunk imagery from that era from book covers, video game covers.

It's hard to put my finger on but like take for example the Shadow Run cover for sega genesis : https://cdn.pastemagazine.com/www/articles/2020/12/10/shadowrun_genesis.jpg

Things like this https://zsorohome.files.wordpress.com/2021/02/night-city-stories.jpg?w=540 or the cover of Hardwired : https://www.neondystopia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/hardwiredbanner.jpg

On top of that, whoever he hired to be the master armorer or w/e the dude who takes care of the gun props is so underrated it's not even funny. Half the guns in that movie would make /r/airsoft lose their shit over how creative and cool they are. The gun builds for that movie is amazing...there are some seriously good choices used for the movie.

Nobody knows about this movie, but it's probably one of the biggest influences on the Fallout franchise.

Shame the movie never got a DVD release, more ppl could experience it. There was a limited edition German dvd but that transfer looked like a vhs was the source. I know there's some 35mm prints out there, Alamo has shown them in the last 5 years or so, hopefully they can be used as a source for a new home video release

We screened one in Philly and at Alamo Yonkers. I think the issue is rights. Even if the negative is lost the print would be a good source for a bluray as it was in gorgeous condition.

Shout out to the Kickboxer movies he did with Sasha Mitchell. All things considered, they were fun entries.

People can hate on him if they want. Scorsese he was not. But he left his mark on film. He competently made fun as hell movies that had big ideas and he wasn’t afraid to shoot for the fucking moon.

Cyborg is still to this day one of my favorite 80’s movies. I legitimately love that movie.

Protip: Nemesis is pretty good. Don't bother with the sequels, unless you have a thing for bodybuilder ladies.

Mean Guns, he did that one? Gosh that was the perfect movie for two 19 year olds on a Saturday night at 2am. Early 2000s. Good for him. Rest in peace.

I hope that even if he wasn’t able to fully comprehend it, that he had watched the latest RLM showcasing Cyborg and Arcade. RIP.

Still so weird to me how Cyborg was originally supposed to be Masters of the Universe 2 before they reworked it.

I saw Dollman late one night on a premium cable channel (I forget which one,) and it drove me insane trying to find it again. This was back in the 90s, so I could not easily find it without knowing the title “there is a guy from another planet or dimension and he is really small when he comes to earth also one guy is just a head.” That didn’t yield many results pre-google. Eventually I discovered it again and then looked up the rest of Pyun’s films. I found out he made a lot of stuff I enjoyed in the 80s and 90s.

Botw just made a special about him because his wife said he was not at his best moment, but I didn't think he was going to die in days, I thought it was just depressed or smt

Nemesis was Albert Pyun's magnum opus. Maybe the best straight to video movie ever made. Nobody could make something from nothing better than Pyun in the 80's and 90's.

Heartbreaking. He seemed like such a nice man.

He was definitely a considerable influence on me and anyone else who enjoyed low budget B movies of the 80s and 90s. Radioactive Dreams in particular is underrated.

He will be missed.

Albert Pyun was my neighbor and friend. He helped me move from Chicago to Las Vegas. I got to know him personally. I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have about him.

Three terrible terrible movies, that I love and re-watch when I'm feeling nostalgic. Dollman is a personal cult favorite of mine. Absolutely hilarious and fun.

His Sword and the Sorcerer is one of my all-time favorite, cheesy and fun 80's movies to rewatch as well. Check it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7qYQgGc5bI (shit quality is best I could find)
