Albert Pyun died yesterday at the age of 69.\u00a0 Mr. Pyun had been in failing health for some time dealing with multiple sclerosis and dementia for the last few years.\u00a0 Albert Pyun was a writer, director and producer of low-budget genre films.<\/p>\n
Mr. Pyun’s first film The Sword and the Sorcerer<\/em> was a surprise hit.\u00a0 Made for just $4 million, The Sword and the Sorcerer<\/em> made back it’s investment during the first week of release.\u00a0 It would go on to gross nearly $37 million.\u00a0 The success of The Sword and the Sorcerer<\/em> set the pattern for most of Albert Pyun’s career.\u00a0 He would write\/co-write and direct low-budget films which gave him creative control to tell the stories he wanted to tell.<\/p>\n Some of Mr. Pyun’s best known films include: The Sword and the Sorcerer, Cyborg, Captain America<\/em> (1990), Bloodmatch, Nemesis, Mean Guns<\/em> and Road to Hell<\/em>.<\/p>\n Some of the actors that appeared in Albert Pyun films include: Jean-Claude Van Damme, Christopher Lambert, Tom Sizemore, Dennis Hopper, Steven Seagal, Steven Bauer Natasha Henstridge, Ronny Cox, Ned Beatty, Kris Kristofferson, Lance Henriksen, Robert Patrick, Ice-T, Michael Par\u00e9, Brion James and Tim Thomerson.<\/p>\n My favorite Albert Pyun film is Cyborg<\/em> starring Jean-Claude Van Damme.\u00a0 It contains a cool fight scene in the rain that always comes to mind first when I think of that movie.\u00a0 I still need to see Mr. Pyun’s Road to Hell<\/em> starring Michael Par\u00e9 and Deborah Van Valkenburgh in an un-official spin-off of Streets of Fire<\/em>.\u00a0 I applaud Albert Pyun finding his niche in Hollywood.\u00a0 He was able to make the films he wanted the way he wanted.<\/p>\n Our thoughts and prayers go out to Albert Pyun’s family, friends and fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Albert Pyun died yesterday at the age of 69.\u00a0 Mr. Pyun had been in failing health for some time dealing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":912,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[17,54,57],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31116","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-celebs","category-movies","category-rip"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31116","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/912"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=31116"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31116\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31117,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31116\/revisions\/31117"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=31116"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=31116"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=31116"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
