Sorry, this movie sucks
Simply Perfect
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Incredibly low production values, zero quality control, scenes that look like a high school production.It's a shameless Rambo ripoff with an even stupider plot. Random people (I really mean random) are picked off the streets and dropped in the woods, unprepared, unarmed and without any assistance whatsoever. They are then hunted by groups of heavily armed soldiers who outnumber them, are better trained and armed up the wazoo. This is all for training. But what is the point of this training? The civilians are completely helpless and hopeless. It's like shooting ducks in a barrel and calling it "army training."Anyway, things don't go so well for this private army when one duck turned out to be not so helpless after all. He fights them off and so they have to up their game.I don't want to spoil this film but the whole film is in the synopsis on IMDb. There's really nothing left to say.It's really bad. Don't watch this expecting some funny Samurai Cop B-film laughs. I don't know how this film is rated so high. It's Birdemic-levels of crap.
David Winters Presents..... (don't have high standards...... or even modest expectations)Deadly Prey is a clinic on how not to rip-off other action film's, that are vastly superior in comparison - in every possible way. In this case, David Winters and rest of the clown's behind Deadly Prey are, all to obviously, ripping-off the Rambo franchise, more specifically Rambo: First Blood Pt.1 (in other words the first Rambo film) and it simply doesn't get any worse then this. Just how bad, can a bad movie be. But hey, at least it's "entertainingly bad" and you WILL be laughing heartily at the ridiculous levels of ineptitude that this dreadful, direct-to-video, crap-fest delivers - as it turns out, this is even a worse rip-off then Reb Brown's Strike Commando!Kidnapped and forced to serve as prey, the name of the game: live-fire training of mercenaries and he's their target - but worry not, because this bemulleted bunch of jackass's can't shoot straight to save their lives and they become the prey. Bemulleted you say? That's exactly right, made apparently at the height of mulletdom in 1987, it would appear that over half the cast are sporting mullets, why I've never seen so damn many mullets in a movie; sporting the best/worst one, is the star - Ted Prior. As inept as these would-be mercenaries are, it would seem that -no amount of training- could make soldiers out of them and this movie, Deadly Prey, plays out like a plagiarized 90 minute run-through of movies we've already seen - for the record, this is the most blatant Rambo rip-off that's ever been made. In Deadly Prey you'll see several instances of them copying said film as closely as they could, in their own uninspired, low-budget and amateur way, which is frequently complimented with a lot of over-acting from Ted Prior and several cast members; as I indicated earlier, this bumbling "B" is every bit as much a comedy, as it is an actioner. Case in point, near the end there's actually a scene were Mike Danton a.k.a. fake-Rambo with a peroxide high-lighted mullet, cuts off a guy's arm and then literally starts beating him with it! Comic gold, I love it - and that's just one scene. ..... and if by the end of the movie, you haven't gotten your fill yet, relax, because there's a sequel, it only took 27 years, but... "Deadliest Prey" (such a clever title) is now out there for your viewing pleasure. But that's another story, one of the same I'm sure. The verdict is out. These are some really crappy movies and unless you get off on bad movies, I'd steer clear of Deadly Prey and it's sequel. However, on the other hand, if direct-to-video garbage is very much your thing then I could not recommend it more highly. In that case Deadly Prey is one of the holy grail's.Deadly Prey is as lowly as lowly gets, where talking gas station rental quality here folks. Which now that I've mentioned it, puts an image in my mind, I'm distinctly seeing a regal relic from the past. That of course being, a dust-covered, sun-faded VHS sleeve that's been spotted-up with several crusty rental stickers, that are in the process of peeling off. Sitting by itself, all lonely like, on the bottom shelf of the rental rack, right next to the Twinkies and pork rinds, at some dirty and forgotten gas station, just off a dusty rural road somewhere in Nowheresville USA. An image that hearkens back to the glory days of VHS rentals.So sit back and marvel at: Deadly Prey - the cinematic equivalent of a continuously ongoing train derailment - as it all unfolds before you eyes.And for any viewers out there, I recommend that you watch the movie "Space Mutiny", it's a great example of what you should expect when all the stars are aligned and "David Winters Presents"!
Ted Prior is starring in the 80s jungle action movie "Deadly Prey", made together with his brother David A. Prior. This is without a doubt one of the greatest "bad" movies out there. A great jungle action, full of knockout power, cheesy lines and clichés! Ted Prior is starring as the Vietnam veteran Mike Danton. He is captured by a psychopathic colonel to be part of a deadly hunting game. Watch Danton survive in the wild with nothing but his bare fists, fighting his way through the jungle. He is defying the odds to get his revenge on the evil colonel. Great work, Prior brothers! Remember also to watch the sequel, "Deadliest Prey".
There's really not much to this movie: an off-brand Rambo ("Mike Danton", just good enough I guess) with an epic mullet walks through the woods and kills evil army guys. That's pretty much it. Most scenes are identical. The most clueless army ever looks around for mullet guy, then he comes out of an implausible hiding space to kill one of them without anyone else knowing. The way things just solve themselves for our hero is beyond amazing. Nobody hears it when a victim grunts, even though they're walking about two feet from each other and there's no other noise whatsoever. Everyone has machine guns, but drop them instantly when they have an easy shot because they're just so keen on awkward hand-to-hand combat. People die from everything. At one point our hero just takes a branch and impales a guy on it...somehow. And then there's the traps, which really make you wonder how small this forest is supposed to be. One scene features Danton hiding in the water to kill someone who walks by. He doesn't lure him there, he has no way of knowing the soldier is going to get nearby. He's just suddenly there, magically. A similar thing happens when the evil backer guy helps out a guy laying on the street. Why? He's a douchebag, why would he help people? So he can get killed of course. If I'm making it sound like I hate this movie, nothing could be further from the truth. I like it, but dear God is it intensely stupid. It's like if a 12-year-old got the chance to write an action movie and just wrote whatever popped up without taking anything else into account. Yeah he can't be there, yeah that makes no sense, let's put it in anyway. This has its positive and negative points, but the former outweigh the latter. "Deadly Prey" is entertaining because it gets straight to the good stuff, but please give your brain a day off.
