Deadly Prey (1987)

Let's be realistic.

Best movie ever!

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

My quick rating - 4.7/10. Now let me explain. This movie is so horrendous it almost is unbelievable it even exists. If I were to rate this movie realistically and not for the sheer humor value, it would be below a 1. I don't think there are words to describe just how bad this is. Every aspect of filming is taken to its lowest level. The acting is terrible assuming it was acting. The death scenes are stupid and didn't even try the cheap route with gore. The blatant setup of the woman in distress running through a forest in a white tank top was even ruined with bad camera work so you don't even see the bouncing tits. A simple formula pointless thing like that and they couldn't even get that done right. Movies like this deserve their own category, rated as a movie and rated as a sham. Sorta like rating torrents, A/V quality as a cam opposed to quality as a rip overall (not that i would know anything about that). If you read this review to this point, the likeliness is you fall into the category of "you need to see it to believe it" and will find it for yourself. Long live the mullet and NOPE I won't be keeping this movie at all.

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".

You'll never say die after viewing this movie! In Vietnam, Mike Danton was the best, and he still is (provided the bad guys line up to fight him one at a time). Want to see a man beaten to death with his own arm? You're a liar if you say no! Watch it now or risk some bad timing. Watching this movie is like being on the winning side, it's a lot healthier. I'm a little man who's spent 27 years of his life as a film enthusiast searching for a great movie. 27 years in the filth and dirt of the streets and there ain't no music down there. Finally, I found a movie so manly it just could not be denied. So summon up some spit cleaned earthworms and flame cooked rats, hunker down and watch Deadly Prey today! End of Story.

Although the plot of kidnapping humans for target practice has been done a million times before (and still is), no movie comes as close to the entertainment value of this. Here, bad army guys inadvertently kidnap Mike (unofficial middle name : Dramatic Casio Chord) Danton, a Vietnam vet played by male model Ted Prior. And after letting him loose in the forest armed with only a sawn-off pair of levi's and a particularly offensive mullet, Mike turns the tables on the most inept bunch of soldiers.You will laugh! You will laugh again! You can feel the tension gripping you to the couch as the next bad guy positions himself into an easily ambush-able place. You will see Cameron Mitchell deliver his best speech ever. You will see tiny grenade explosions hurl people several feet through the air. You will never see a more lethal twig in your entire life or more effective camouflage from a handful of leaves. The one-man army action movies from the 80's (think along the lines of Commando/Rambo) may have been awesome at the time and despite aging, entertain today in the same way a piece of well-matured piece of cheese tastes more delectable than something eaten fresh from the dairy. Deadly Prey is no exception, the only difference being budget. And acting. And direction. But it's still something to relish. Most films like this are best enjoyed over a few beers. Here I would recommend a few crackers and a nice bottle of chardonnay to truly honour this cheesy experience. Cheers!
