Absolutely the worst movie.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

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.....

A group of sadistic mercenaries led by the ruthless Colonel John Hogan (a deliciously slimy portrayal by David Campbell) kidnap people and hunt them down in the woods like animals as a training exercise. However, the mercenaries get more than they bargained for after they abduct two-fisted former Marine and Vietnam veteran Mike Danton (played with mucho macho aplomb by blonde beefcake Ted Prior).Man, does this hilariously horrendous honey possess all the right wrong stuff to rate highly as a definite four-star stinkeroonie: Ham-fisted (mis)direction by David A. Prior, ineptly staged action scenes, over-the-top violence (Danton breaks one man's back against a tree and beats another guy with his own freshly severed arm!), poor acting from a lame mostly no-name cast, cheesy one-liners aplenty, lots of ugly mullets, a ludicrous premise that's treated as seriously as a heart attack, priceless moments of Danton clad solely in Daisy Duke denim shorts roughly it in the wilderness (two words: worm eating), cartoonishly nasty villains, and a ridiculously script that offers an unholy blend of "First Blood" and "The Most Dangerous Game." Cameron Mitchell basically just takes up space as a hard-nosed ex-cop, Troy Donahue snarls it up nicely as evil millionaire Don Michaelson, Fritz Matthews has a field day as vicious flunky Lt. Thornton, and busty brunette Dawn Abraham cuts a foxy figure as mean bitch Sybil. The pulsating score hits the right-on funky syncopated spot. Fantastic crap.

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.

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.
