PodBill Just what I expected

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

o_mehla1 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".

Theo Robertson A mercenary leader sets up a mercenary army for hire . He trains his men by kidnapping men off the street and using them for live target practice . One day the group kidnap Mike Danton a former Vietnam veteran If THE NAKED PREY and RAMBO took lots of speed and had unprotected depraved sex this would be the bastard offspring . DEADLY PREY is action film making at its most deranged . Do I mean is it bad ? Well try out this sample sceneGood Guy ( Carrying gun ) " Friend or enemy ? "Bad Guy ( carrying gun and slightly frightened ) " Friend "Good Guy " You're a liar " BANG Made your mind up yet ? Words sometimes fail me as to how inept a film can be . The story itself doesn't make the slightest bit of sense such as mercenaries kidnapping people and using them as hunting practice . After all chasing an unarmed civilian who is outnumbered dozens to one isn't really going to hone military skills . It's also illegal . It's also been going on for some considerable time and yet the police seem unaware of it and you'd think someone somewhere might be suspicious of a small army . And if the hero Mike Danton served in Vietnam why is it he can't be a day over 30 ? Even if the film is from 1987 the last combat troops left in 1973 meaning he'd have been too young to have been a Viet Vet , especially in the special forces Perhaps the fact DEADLY PREY is so incompetent on so many levels I gave it a far higher mark than it deserves . I should make it very clear that none of the points were awarded because much of the running time involves a dude with the body of a Greek God running round woodland wearing a pair of very tight shorts but everything else was a guilty pleasure where the good guy continually bumps off one bad guy after the other including a scene where he severs a bad guy's arm and proceeds to batter him to death with it and the totally dead pan tone of the film just adds to the enjoyment . If you enjoyed DEATH WISH 3 then you'll enjoy this movie big time . I know I did

amesmonde A man is kidnapped by members of a private army to be hunted down and killed as part of their training. Unbeknownst to them he is an elite ex-marine who was trained by their leader Colonel John Hogan.1986's Deadly Prey directed by David A. Prior may have been made for adults but is more fun for teenagers who shouldn't be watching. It's reminiscent of many macho one-man-army, 80s Italian action B-films, borrowing heavily from Rambo First Blood and Commando. But it's set in its own amusing world, in a jungle just South of LA.Ted Prior is superb as Mike Danton, part Dolph Lundgren, part Christian Bale - all rock band mullet, he is perfectly cast as the military one-man killing machine. Danton takes on a tank, Danton beats a man using a severed arm, Danton builds deadly traps, camouflage Danton pops out of the ground, Danton wields a knives and a machete, Danton fires guns... Lots of guns, Danton eats worms and rats. You get the idea. All the action is accompanied by a beating surprisingly likable score.Curiously veteran actors Troy Donahue and Cameron Mitchell cameo. Dawn Abraham as Sybil encapsulates that 1980s femme fatale permed hair appeal. Sadly, delightful Suzanne Tara's Jaimy Danton is Lt. Thornton's (Fritz Matthews, also stunt co-ordinator sporting sunglasses) and Hogan's (David Campbell) fodder.The amazing thing about Deadly Prey is that it takes itself totally seriously, containing themes war, mercenaries, rape, Vietnam, survival to name a few. However, there's no getting away from the straight to video limitations which comes with the sound, special effects, acting, editing and all the script trappings you'd expect.All it faults side, it is possibly the greatest piece of ridiculous entertaining fluff ever made and is truly one of those guilty pleasures. It really is so bad it's good. Prior's screenplay and Richard Connell's story is actually quite good like his Lost Platoon concept has inspired other film makers. What's notable and arguably a narrative accident is its nihilistic tone, the end is bravely down beat cancelling out its own hammy existence.Deadly Prey really is the epitome of an '80s action flick I remember. The VHS should be placed in a museum for historic and cultural interest. It's a must see, possibly the worst, yet, best crossbreed action film ever made.

David J. Glenn This movie is the most action packed action movie of all time, the acting is stunning, the plot is original and well thought out, and the directed was amazing.Deadly Prey is a amped up version of Rambo, and the acting is so good that it draws you in until the end. I bought this movie for fifty dollars, and it was worth every penny.If someone made a movie about how to be manly, it would be Deadly Prey. They should create a "Movie Hall of Fame" for this movie. If someone was going to lock me away in jail for the rest of my life, and gave me the option to have one movie to watch for the rest of my life, i'd pick Deadly Prey.
