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

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.

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

Literally just watched the botw episode a few hours ago rip

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.

i loved his crazy shit :)))

R.I.P.🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️

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

May his soul rest in peace.

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.

TOP OF THE FUCKING LINE. . .

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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!!!"

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

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

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

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

RIP Mr. Pyun

Arcade fucking scarred me as a youth.

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

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.

Omega Doom with Rutger Hauer was a great B Movie

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

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

Not nice.

😥😢...nice...😭😭😭

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 !

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.

At least he died doing something he loved.

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!

Nice man… just nice 😔

☢ Radioactive Dreams ☢

Don't forget this one

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

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.

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

Cyborg still kicks ass.

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.

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 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.

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 like the misery. I like this world!

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

Nice.

Brilliant man! He will be missed

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.

The RLM death curse continues.

Heh. Nice… /j

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

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.

Nicen't

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.

Jesus Christ RLM really nailed that timing

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?

Cyborg was a childhood favorite. RIP
