Albert Pyun, a genre filmmaker known for cult classics such as “The Sword and the Sorcerer” and “Cyborg,” has died. He was 69.
The prolific writer-director died Saturday evening, according to a Facebook post from his wife, Cynthia Curnan, who “sat with him for his last breath that sounded like he was releasing the weight of the world.” No cause of death was given.
Pyun died in Las Vegas, according to Variety, which reported that he had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and dementia in recent years.
