Frank Markland Ted Prior stars as Mike Danton a Killing machine that is turned loose onto the Southern woods where a group of mercenaries hunt people to train for missions. (Why?) I had actually seen this many years ago, and of course this became a huge you tube sensation and while I laughed heartily and frequently throughout, Ironically I didn't mind the film, like it's not any good, and it features some hysterically bad acting, yet by Grade Z standards this flick wasn't nearly as awful as I was expecting, so what earns this the 2 star mediocrity is due to how surreal it was. Like people bring up how hilarious this is, but I can't get over how the movie literally feels like a fever pitch dream, especially if you remember Troy Donahue and Cameron Mitchell from their heyday. The infamous arm scene, the sequences where trained mercenaries don't spot Prior hiding in a tree 2 feet above them, Prior eating a worm and Prior running in slow motion with a machete and the bizarre atmosphere from what looks like a Georgia wildlife park. The Rambo rip off sequences are really lame, but obviously due to budget and the film looks like it had vision, just no money or production value. Ergo then, the film works if you just go for the laughs, and stay for the weirdness factor. To make matters even more weird, Cameron Mitchell is given lead credit, and is then credited as "Jamie's Father" It truly doesn't get much weirder than this film. In other words, well worth finding on you tube or DVD.* * Out of 4-(Fair)

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"!

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".

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.
