Arcade (1993) Monday 9/12 6:30pm Sometimes, the laserdisc artwork does say it all!  Join the kids at “Dante’s Inferno,” where a cleverly named game called “ARCADE” entrapts children into VR goggled home console terror.  Perhaps the programmers shouldn’t have relied on actual brain cells for their gaming engine?  Arcade features CGI so state of the art, that it had to be redone after Disney drew comparisons to TRON!  Featuring Seth Napster Green, Megan Encino Ward, and that Q guy: John de Lancie from TNG!  Directed by the legendary Albert Pyun.     #cyberpunkcinema #cyberpunk #theknockoutsf #thrillhouserecords

Albert passed away last month in Las Vegas.  He did a lot of the heavy lifting for “low-life, high-tech” direct to video film making which has come to define many aesthetics within cyberpunk culture.  Some of his other fun movies include Nemesis, Cyborg, Dollman, Arcade and Alien in L.A.

In memory of Albert Pyun (1953-2022). Pyun seen here on the set of Cyborg (1989) with Jean Claude Van Damme. #ripalbertpyun #albertpyun #jeanclaudevandamme #cyborg1989 #cannonfilms #1980s #restinpower #restinpeace (at Spring Branch, Houston) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClekV1-JSlI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

RIP film maker Albert Pyun. He made a bunch of weird and great stuff but never really clicked with mainstream audiences. He will be missed. (cover art I designed for a fantastic book on Pyun’s work by Justin Decloux buy it if you haven’t already and are a fan of Pyun) #albertpyun https://www.instagram.com/p/Cld6t6wuQ-n/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
