He released his first album," Never Say Never", in July 2016. He is best known for his mixtape" Never Say Never Again" released in 2017. <SEP> 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", adding that" others believe this a charitable description for Pyun, who has also been derided as the new Ed Wood." Though he frequently blends kickboxing and hybrid martial arts with science fiction and dystopic or post-apocalyptic themes, which often include cyborgs, Pyun stated in an interview that" I have really no interest in cyborgs. And I've never really had any interest in post-apocalyptic stories or settings. It just seemed that those situations presented a way for me to make movies with very little money, and to explore ideas that I really wanted to explore — even if they were[ controversial]." Some of Pyun's better known films include" The Sword and the SorcererCyborgCaptain America", and" Nemesis". Pyun was a military brat and lived on bases around the world until his father settled in Hawaii. Albert Pyun( born May 19, 1953) is an American film director best known for having made many low- budget B-movies and direct- to- video action films. Pyun went to school in Kailua, a small town located on the windward side of Oahu.

Kickboxer 2( stylized on- screen as Kickboxer 2: The Road Back) is a 1991 American martial arts film directed by Albert Pyun and written by David S. Goyer. <SEP> The film is based on the James Bond novel" Thunderball", which was previously adapted in a 1965 film under that name. Unlike the majority of Bond films," Never Say Never Again" was not produced by Eon Productions, but by Jack Schwartzman's Taliafilm in association with Kevin McClory, one of the original writers of the" Thunderball" storyline with Ian Fleming and Jack Whittingham. McClory retained the filming rights of the novel following a long legal battle dating from the 1960s. Never Say Never Again is a 1983 spy film starring Sean Connery and directed by Irvin Kershner. Connery played the role of James Bond for the seventh and final time, marking his return to the character 12 years after" Diamonds Are Forever". The film's title is a reference to Connery's reported declaration in 1971 that he would" never again" play that role. As Connery was 52 at the time of filming, although nearly three years younger than incumbent Bond Roger Moore, the storyline features an aging Bond, who is brought back into action to investigate the theft of two nuclear weapons by SPECTRE. Filming locations included France, Spain, the Bahamas and Elstree Studios in England. " Never Say Never Again" was released by Warner Bros. in October 1983, and opened to positive reviews, with the acting of Connery and Klaus Maria Brandauer singled out for praise as more emotionally resonant than the typical Bond films of the day. The film was a commercial success, grossing$ 160 million at the box office, although less overall than the Eon-produced" Octopussy" released in the same year. In 1997, the film's distribution rights were transferred to Metro- Goldwyn- Mayer, the current distributor of the Eon Bond films; the company has since handled all subsequent home video releases of the film. <SEP> Irvin Kershner( born Isadore Kershner; April 29, 1923 November 27, 2010) was an American director, actor, and producer of film and television.

Through the course of his career, he received numerous accolades, and was nominated for both a Primetime Emmy Award and a Palme d' Or.
