Hey, if we all get our acts together and get vaccinated and remain vigilant, we could be back on the beach recreating scenes from these lighthearted, sun-drenched trifles before you know it. Volleyball? Sure! Surfing? Definitely! Romance? Up to you! These blasts from the past should offer some motivation. (Pictured: Gidget)
Directed by Albert Pyun
Sci-Fi Action - Rated R - 92 Minutes - 1992
One of the more endearing B-movie directors, Albert Pyun made Nemesis on the heels of having Cyborg taken away from him and re-edited by its star, Jean-Claude Van Damme. Pyun wasn't about to let that happen again, so Nemesis turns out to be Pyun at his essence: heavily informed by better movies (The Terminator, Blade Runner), but completely committed to his weird, gritty vision, which results in a movie that plays more by the rules of video games than cinema.
