Deadliest Prey

Very amateur-like acting. Solders are in a life threatening situation, someone shooting on them and they act like they are just walking in the park! Some actors might be good but the director calling the shots obviously he didn't know what he was doing. The whole movie is filmed in the same location (someone's back yard). The story-line is very of childish too. Funny thing is at the end of the movie, in the last screen, it says: "The beginning". They expect to make another movie like this? Give me a break! So, don't waste your time watching this, we have seen similar movies with about the same story-line but a lot better acting.

I only saw the original Deadly Prey a few weeks ago and I enjoyed it so much I went out of my way to get this follow up. The original is really a great Gem of a cheapy, David Prior was well aware of the production limitations and just has an absolute Ball with the hokey material, in some ways it is even more funny than Rambo First Blood Part 2! The Deadliest Prey is more of a rehash than a true sequel, sort of like how Terminator 2 lifts many scenes from the original with slight context alterations, but TDP is a more extreme case. The new slant added to the story is the human hunting is caught on camera and broadcast over the net. Many of the original actors have come back to reprise their roles which bolsters the authenticity of the proceeding for fans, you will be surprised to hear their acting prowess hasn't changed one iota, and we wouldn't have it any other way! In all honesty, TDP isn't quite as entertaining as the original, but with that said there are still some great gags like when Danton is 'recruited' again, and if the Hackers don't at least make you smile, there is something seriously wrong. For all lovers of B films, Deadly Prey & The Deadliest Prey makes a great double- bill...True that!

Stars: Ted Prior,David Campbell,Fritz Matthews. What would you do if the director of a film offered a pre-release showing of his long awaited sequel ? WATCH IT !!! Do not wanna give away any spoilers at all,But David Campbell,The Villain,Has some catch phrases and a half to enjoy. Ted Prior revisits one of his favorite roles,Danton from Deadly Prey,Ted as we interviewed recently wasn't sure he could still be 'The Prey',But letting his fans make their own opins about results, You Go Dude ! Bringing Fritz Matthews back was a screenwriters nightmare ( NO SPOILERS,REMEMBER) and a gift to David Prior fans. Did we mention David Campbell steals the film scene after scene, And Ted Prior seems to be okay with considering their last filmic dance. Lots of knife work,bullets shot and traps galore. There is ironic comedy too. Would wish DEADLY PREY was promoted as 25th anniversary edition sometime.

Colonel Hogan(David Campbell)is back after 27 years of rotting in prison and he surely is very very angry.He gets released and immediately seeks out his revenge on Mike Danton(Ted Prior),extremely skilled soldier and total killing machine,the star of "Deadly Prey"(1987).But this time Hogan want to broadcast his revenge over the Internet.The cameras in the woods are filming every moment of carnage as Mike Danton kills dozens of armed soldiers via Rambo-like traps and his deadly weapons."Deadliest Prey" is very watchable and vastly entertaining action/survival flick with plenty of mindless violence.Prior still looks as menacing as ever and Campbell is delightfully over-the-top as the main villain.Three hackers are quite annoying,though.Overall,pretty cool homage to "Deadly Prey".8 severed arms out of 10.

It's quite impressive that a movie got a sequel with several of the original cast/director over quarter of a century later. But was it really needed?

Deadly Prey (1987) was a hyper cheesy Rambo ripoff that for some reason many consider to be a bit of a cult classic. I thought it was awful, but it had a certain 80's cheese factor charm at least.

26 years later and the story continues, well that's not entirely true. You see it does follow on from the events of the previous movie, with erm..........the same events of the previous movie. What I mean by that is this may be a sequel but it may as well be a remake as this is alarmingly similar, not only in regards to the plot but multiple scenes throughout.

I have no idea why they would do that, it's senseless. And here we're missing the 80's charm, it tries to replicate it with the same soundtrack and action style but it comes across forced and fails miserably.

I cringed throughout, I'd be surprised if even the most hardcore fan of the original appreciates this.

The Good:

Follows on from the previous movie

The Bad:

Some awful camerawork

"Action" is just awful

Some moments are so dumb it defies belief

Tacky soundtrack

More like a remixed version of the first movie
