Albert Pyun, director of classic "B" movies like Cyborg and Dollman, has been diagnosed with severe multiple sclerosis, and may never be able to make another movie. And there's a fundraiser to organize a screening of his 50th movie, Road to Hell, including a celebration of Pyun's career.
Albert Pyun is a legend among low-budget movie-makers. He's probably directed more movies about cyborgs than anyone else. He's been making post-apocalyptic movies since the Mad Max era, and he's still at it. He's worked with Rutger Hauer, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Christopher Lambert and Ice-T, among many others. Chances…
We've already celebrated the greatness of Manborg, the bargain-basement tribute to classic 1980s science fiction movies. But here's your first actual clip from the film, in which Manborg offers some wisdom: "It's never too late... to be a hero." The acting in this scene must be seen to be believed, including the…
Everyone loves a good Terminator, particularly those fly-by-night movie studios whose livelihoods come from hoodwinking audience members too gullible for reality. For decades, slapping the word "Terminator" into your movie title has been all the rage — here are ten (mostly unknown, mostly unwatchable) films that have…
Check out the new trailer for Albert Pyun's latest exploitation film, Road to Hell. When a serial killer meets two hot female "spree killers" in a weird greenscreened landscape that's somewhere between Hell and Purgatory, sparks are sure to fly. Sparks, in this case, meaning Range Rover bondage and knifeplay. And…
The original 1990 Captain America film was a trainwreck — by all accounts, the investors pulled out a short time into filming, and the budget had to be slashed mercilessly — but it's also a supreme achievement of campy superhero action.
Hell has taken over the Earth, led by the evil Count Draculon, and the human resistance is utterly crushed. Until one dying soldier gets transformed into the ultimate engine of vengeance... Manborg! Uh, what?
Just in time for the release of Marvel's huge new Captain America film, you're going to get a new expanded edition of the much-reviled 1990 version, director Albert Pyun tells io9.
This week, Albert Pyun's classic movie Cyborg is getting reissued, in a fancy director's cut. And people are finally seeing the bloody, demented film Pyun set out to make. Is it finally time for some Pyun appreciation?
When you've survived a post-apocalyptic world of cannibals and evil gangs, there's nothing left to do but have a 1940s-style dance routine. For some reason, this sequence didn't appear at the end of The Road, so we're including it here.
Welcome to the streets of post-apocalyptic Boston, Massachusetts: the plague hit so hard, the buildings look Bulgarian and the cars are all Yugos. It's just one of the charms of Adrenalin: Fear The Rush, including a great sewer mutant fight.
Rutger Hauer finds a severed robot head on the ground, and helps it get a new body, in this hilariously unconvincing sequence from Omega Doom. Too bad Robot Blade was using that head as a soccer ball... and he's pissed.
As you might have noticed from his guest spot as the sexist 1960s Middleman last year, Kevin Sorbo is really good at playing a sleaze. Here he is as a TV personality/hunter in Never Cry Werewolf. More Sorbo sleaze below.
Could this be the greatest Angelina Jolie moment ever? Long before she starred in Wanted — before Hackers, even — she played a cyborg named Cash Reese in 1993's Cyborg 2, directed by the great schlock-meister Albert Pyun. Here are some of our favorite moments from the film, including a scene where a lady hacker gets…
Supermodel Kathy Ireland descends into a netherworld of tinsel hair and woman-on-woman brawls to the death, in Alien From L.A., which may be schlockmeister Albert Pyun's masterpiece. And then the squeaky-voiced Kathy gets drugged and sold to the local mob boss. Maybe I missed the explanation for why Atlantis — a Blade…
The Red Skull sounds like Tweety Bird with a fakey Italian accent in this awesome clip from the original live-action Captain America movie. All the Skull wants is some English lessons, but instead Captain America kicks his ass, only to wind up strapped to a silly-looking Nazi rocket. The scene ends with the…
