Albert Pyun Appreciation Month - ”Mean Guns”

from Cinema Degeneration Hosted by Cinema Degeneration

April is well upon us and we here at Cinema Degeneration thought it was time for another Appreciation Month topic! We bring to you a celebration of the life and career of the late great filmmaker Mr. Albert Pyun. Pyun was a maverick director with over 50 directing credits to his resume before he passed away unfortunately in late 2022. Often operating well outside the studio system Pyun delivered films the only way he knew how...his way. We are continuing the adventures and our 2nd episode with what is one of Pyun's more obscure films with the 1997 action crime story "MEAN GUNS", starring Christopher Lambert, Ice T, Thom Mathews, Yuji Ohumoto and more. This action packed and quick witted crime thriller is a story about what happens when you lock 100 killers in an empty prison and make them fight to the death! Join Cameron Scott and co-host Lee Russell as they discuss this hidden gem and go off on a few rants including, but not limited to, Guy Ritchie and Quentin Tarantino films, Smokin' Aces and even Steven Seagal at one point. Join us for a month long celebration of the expansive Pyuniverse! "You have all betrayed the syndicate. Maybe in little ways over a long period of time. Maybe once. Maybe one big time. Maybe something in between. You blabbed, you stole, you plotted, you saw too much, maybe you did too little."
