Highly Overrated But Still Good

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

I finally found this movie, last time I was searching for it only lethal weapon was popping out. Today I searched in my language and this movie's trailer popped out but this was uploaded 10 months ago so that's why I found it this time. I watched it on VHS as a kid, I rented it and never watched it again. I remember I liked it so I guess all little boys did. You have an actor that looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger, some kiddish fighting, action and that's all you need he he. I watched it few minutes ago but I was scrolling so it took me less than 10min. I just wanted to see scenes I remembered. For all that I'll give it a 10, good old times :)

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"!

Colonel Hogan rents his mercenaries out to anyone with the right price, and for training, he orders his troops to kidnap innocent people, take them to the forest and hunt them down, and kill them.But this time, they picked Mike Danton, a Vietnam veteran, with a perfect mullet.Taken to the forest, the mercenaries hunt Danton, but are meticulously picked off one by one, so Hogan, sends a task force with his best man, Lieutenant Thornton.But Jack Cooper is also part of the team. Cooper and Danton realise who each other are while trying to kill each other. Cooper has not seen Danton since he took a bullet for him. With his new-found friend, Danton continues to Norris the mercenaries, and get back to his wife........It's First Blood meets Hard Target, and just when you want to turn the film off in fear of your IQ lowering beyond that of a fire damaged Brazil Nut, it goes beyond stupidity and manages to entertain you for all the wrong reasons.And the fact that Danton spends almost 90% of the film greased up and in tighty denim shorts, just adds to the awe inspiring awfulness of it all.Fireworks are passed for grenades, when someone is shot, they fall down in the most ridiculous ways possible, and it all seems to be set in a big car park covered in sand.It's aged poorly, and unlike a bona-fide cult movie like Samurai Cop, it doesn't have that instantaneous cult charm feel to it.It takes a while to appreciate the audaciousness of it all, and it fear that many will turn it off after a few minutes believing to be just a cheap rip off of Commando.Which it is, but in a good-ish way.....

Possibly the greatest film ever!!!!!! You can keep your die hards, your lord of the rings and your terminators this film is what you call a real action film. The acting level is unrivaled. The fight scenes are so realistic its scary. The special effects are just awesome.Ted Prior gives the performance of his life but he is not alone. Troy Donahue excels as Michaelson. Of course not enough can be said about Fritz Matthews role here as not only does he give a compelling as the merciless Lt. Thornton he also was stunt coordinator for the film.To say that this film was groundbreaking is an understatement it raised the bar for all future action films.The plot is comparable to none as it is so unique , well thought out and executed. Much praise must go to director David A. Priors attention to detail, as realism of this film would not be as superbly represented by a lesser director.Thank you David, Ted, Fritz and Troy for all you have given us, history will remember you as true heroes.
