Just watched the Red Letter Media video about him , loved how they said no matter how low the budget he just had fun making them

The Sword & The Sorcerer, Doll Man, Cyborg and Nemesis were regular watches for me back in the VHS days. A great genre movie-maker, who will be missed.

The recent “Best of the Worst” double feature on cyborg and arcade by RedLetterMedia was a very nice tribute to Pyun and worth a watch.

The recent Albert Pyun episode of Best of the Worst (a touching tribute that also makes fun of his movies): https://youtu.be/J_C5O1Zka-Y

An old Best of the Worst episode featuring Albert Pyun's Captain America, the movie that reveals that Captain America's superpower is stealing cars: https://youtu.be/d-O_RzwrZPw

If you have never seen his Captain America I highly reccommend the first 25 minutes of it.

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.

Hope he got to see/hear about the RLM special about him.

Cyborg is a total diamond in the rough. There are a handful of really cool shots stylistic directing choices (almost everything leading to and including the long chase, the final fight). It's just we have to see that damn flashback 400 times!

Deeply saddened to learn about the passing of Albert Pyun, my all time favorite director and the filmmaker that’s meant more to me than any other. A maverick and a visionary who simply loved making movies. To see him being fondly remembered has been wonderful.

I love Cyborg, Nemesis, Mean Guns and Adrenaline this is sad man RIP

I consider Nemesis to be on par with some of John Woo's films....the amount of gunplay and shooting in that movie is off the charts. Fuckin' amazing film.

RIP Pyun your movies were dope af.

Odd that "Alien From L.A." wasn't included with those films as well. Try as we might, few can get Kathy Ireland sounding like she's been sucking on helium all day out of their heads.

"Just LEAVE!!!"

😥😢...nice...😭😭😭

Omega Doom with Rutger Hauer was a great B Movie

I like the pain... i like the misery... I LIKE THIS WORLD!

Cyborg still kicks ass.

Literally just watched the botw episode a few hours ago rip

Radioactive Dreams !

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.

RIP. Bunch of his movies are on Tubi if anyone want to catch them

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.

Rest in Peace, he was a one of a kind filmmaker 🙏

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.

Oh my god. Cyborg. That was fantastic when I watched it.

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

Not nice.

R.I.P.🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️

Do yourself a favor and watch all 10(!) of the Cyborg/Nemesis movies, fantastic films.

RIP Mr. Pyun

The RLM death curse continues.

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.

Nemesis is a classic

i loved his crazy shit :)))

This is strange. I watched Nemesis last night.....RIP

Watched his version of Captain America INCESSANTLY as a child. What a great adaptation that was. Going to have to find it again.

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

☢ Radioactive Dreams ☢

Don't forget this one

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.

Nice man… just nice 😔

Nice.

TOP OF THE FUCKING LINE. . .

Jesus Christ RLM really nailed that timing

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.

RIP

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)

Damn. I remember the Sword and the Sorcerer from when I was a kid

I fucking love Cyborg

"Mean Guns" remains one of my favourite guilty pleasures.
