Idiot-Deluxe 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"!

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

drystyx Cameron Mitchell once played in many good films, usually as a fourth or fifth character-Bombre, The Tall Men, Garden of Evil, usually WEsterns.He's the epitome of the actor whose career went into low tide with cheap thrillers. Not all of them were bad, but they weren't "great" by any means.Here, he plummets to the lowest depths.The movie is hard to describe as anything other than a "so bad it's good" film. One can't imagine this film being made for any other reason. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, and say they made this film to be funny.But it it's not very funny.We have what could have been a good idea. "The Most Dangerous Game", only the idea is made ridiculous by not having any sport. A mad man who thinks he's a mercenary for hire, trains his unit by kidnapping men, and telling them to run away unarmed from his well armed mercenaries.Much of the humor comes from the fact that these super mercenaries, though heavily armed, are totally inept at killing any unarmed helpless victim, not because of "scruples", but because of ineptness.Full of clichés, the movie become super tiresome after nearly an hour of tedious neck breaks and knife thrusts. It can only be classified as comedy, but it just isn't funny after the third time. And it seems we have this for about five million times. It's a "fast forward or go to sleep" movie.

Count_Elvis_III Ask a group of people what the best movie ever made is, and you'll get a lot of different answers. Some will say "Star Wars", some "Citizen Kane", some "Taxi Driver" while others will say "The 400 Blows". They are all wrong, because the best movie ever made in "Deadly Prey". Now some, particularly the losers who like "Citizen Kane" will disagree with this, but much like the crowd that crucified Jesus, they know not what they do. Anyway, "Deadly Prey" is super-duper neato because it has all the elements a classic movie should have like scalping, arms being cut off, lots of shootings, stabbings, a guy fighting a tank, a guy getting a hand grenade in his pants and other such goodies. It also has Ted Prior in the role of Mike Danton, who as the film's tagline tells us was not only the best in Vietnam, but also remains the best. He was truly robbed at Oscar time, as this is not only the finest performance of the 1980's, but also of all movies ever made. He is boss and so is Cameron Mitchell. Cameron Mitchell plays this old cop who is able to infiltrate a militia camp without being caught. This movie is also a great mystery as we are never told why exactly all this is happening. I like that, as I hate when movies feel the need to spell everything out for the audience. Thankfully "Deadly Prey" has far more respect for the intelligence of its audience and that's why it is boss. Seriously, this film is totally groovy from the first frame to the last frame and if you don't like it then you are stupid. I know it sounds harsh, but it's also true, so there.
