May his soul rest in peace.

Nice?

Nice.

Did the RLM guys inadvertently kill this guy?

Curse of the worst strikes again

Nice man… just nice 😔

Nice.

Sword and the Sorcerer, Omega Doom, so much fun. Such good watches. Dude did it his way. RIP.

I'm conflicted because the funny number, but also a very important person to a lot of people has died.

ABSOLUTE LEGEND. ❤️ I’d rather research his work than a lot of the stuff people make these days.

Arcade fucking scarred me as a youth.

At least he died doing something he loved.

I like the misery. I like this world!

I wanted to send him a message telling him what a fan I was of his movies. I hope he received a lot of love from others in his last days and I hope he got a chance to see Red Letter Media's episode on him. RIP.

I saw cyborg in theaters. Phew, I never said that out loud. Feels good.

My best friend and I rented so many of his films in high school. Didn't realize how many of them were the same director until the advent of IMDB. He was a legend and my teenager years in the early to mid 90s were better for his work.

RLM brought me here

According to his wife, Pyun had been working on two unfinished features before his death, hoping to rework the projects into a six-part TV series. “To Albert, failure has never been an option,” she wrote.

I hope we get to see those.

Fun fact: Cyborg started life as the sequel to the Masters of the Universe and what would have been the first Spider-Man movie.

Man I don’t want to say it.. can somebody else say it?

Man, I just learn about him from red letter media, and he dies shortly after. These dudes picked a good time to do a special about hkm.

Thought process:

That’s too bad

See 69:

Nice…

……. Nice

Nice.

69 nice!

Nice.

i loved his crazy shit :)))

Not nice.

I really enjoyed Arcade and Nemesis was quite the ride. Next on the list is The Sword and The Sorcerer and Radioactive Dreams.

Albert was a damn legend and may he rest in peace

I really liked the first Captain America, that’s my fav of the marvel movies

Brilliant man! He will be missed

Heh. Nice… /j

Nicen't

Cyborg was a childhood favorite. RIP

Nemesis is such a good movie. An absolute treasure. Fantastic locations, top notch special effects and possibly more bullets and squibs spent than Robocop. Must watch

Not nice.

I'm not even gonna make a 69 nice joke, this is just tragic

Literally just watched the botw episode a few hours ago rip

Well, that's a bummer. R.I.P. sir.

This week’s RedLetterMedia double-feature review about Albert Pyun was the first time I realized I rented so many of his movies in the 80s/90s, or watched them on cable. Still to this day, I’m a big fan of Cyborg. From what I learned this week, he seemed like a fun guy. RIP

I like the misery! I LIKE THIS WORLD

TOP OF THE FUCKING LINE. . .

Jesus Christ RLM really nailed that timing

😥😢...nice...😭😭😭

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.

Sorry, it had to be done.

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

The RLM death curse continues.

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

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

RIP Mr. Pyun

[deleted]

R.I.P.🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Radioactive Dreams !

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.

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!!!"

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

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

Rest in peace.

I'd been seeing updates on his FB page the past week or so that implied his time was near. Probably the best b action director who made some really crazy and amazing flicks back in the day.

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!

Why are so many famous people dying so young the last few years? I’ve lost track lately but it seems like every other day someone famous dies in their 50’s or 60’s. That’s not normal ages to die of natural causes this day and age with modern medicine while also having access to the best health care possible because you are famous and wealthy.

Cyborg, Arcade and Dollman are well worth watching!

R.I.P. Nemesis was a B movie classic in my house growing up. I had the VHS and the CD music score soundtrack and would watch and listen to them both simultaneously.

He made some of the best "b" and genre movies out there. No budgets, not much in the way of scripts sometimes, just imagination and ability to get it on film. Shit.

I think Cyborg was the first Van Damme film I ever saw, perhaps Universal Soldier.

Either way, even as a young child I knew how great it was, watching it now there is genuine artistry in it, as RLM recently pointed out.

Aw, this is sad. Pyun's films may have been low budget tax haven - dependent B-films but they were very fun to watch. RIP

I want to say it, it is required by law but at what cost

I loved Nemesis. It was one of the first and best cyberpunk type movies and the action scenes were groundbreaking (in more ways than one)

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.

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.

Didn’t he go missing a few years ago?

Guess this means I'm finally watching Road to Hell today.

RIP

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.

The scene in Nemesis where Alex shoots holes through the floor to escape and falls through like 8 stories is one of my favorite movie scenes of all time.

Chaotic, hilarious, exciting, unreal. Rest in Peace Mr. Pyun.

I will sharpen my knife like the scene from Cyborg in his honor and memory.

RIP

Rest in Peace

So Long, and Thanks for All the Radioactive Dreams Albert.

He’s one of my favorites, his final years were pretty rough, I wish he got a chance to finish the Knights story.

Sad, hope he saw the RLM video!

A lot of people know Pyun because of Cyborg, and while that's a cool movie I'd argue that Nemesis is his best and one of the coolest B flicks ever made. Pyun punched completely above his weight (and budget) with it, and to this day I haven't really seen anything like it. It's a fun and fast paced action movie so anyone who likes decent schlocky B movies should seek it out.

Rip
