Albert Pyun was an American film director who died on November 26, 2022. He was born on May 19, 1953, and died on November 26, 2022. The Independent Film Channel said that Pyun “has carved out a unique niche as a director of low-budget, high-concept genre films starring actors past their prime.” It also said that “others believe this is a charitable description for Pyun, who has also been called the new Ed Wood.”
In a 2012 interview, Pyun said that even though his movies often mixed kickboxing and hybrid martial arts with science fiction and dystopian or post-apocalyptic themes, which often involve cyborgs, he didn’t think that was a good idea “I’m not at all interested in cyborgs.
And stories or settings set after the end of the world have never really interested me. It just seemed like those situations gave me a chance to make movies with very little money and to explore ideas I really wanted to explore, even if they were controversial.” The Sword and the Sorcerer, Cyborg, Captain America, and Nemesis are all movies that Pyun has made.
