This is where Deadly Prey leaves any of its serious roots behind and trades it for ridiculous action stunts and more than thirty minutes of simple predator-vs.-prey mechanics. Danton wasn’t a good pick, and he’s been studying to be Rambo at home or something, because he escapes and starts ripping through soldiers one by one, studiously setting up camp in the jungle and setting elaborate traps from sticks and leaves. Our “hero”, Danton (Ted Prior), gets drawn into this mess after he’s kidnapped off of the streets in just his boxers – perhaps his attackers were drawn to his glistening muscles and ripped abs, because that’s pretty much the entire scenery in Deadly Prey. Deadly Prey tries to make this group of killer mercs appear more detailed than it really is there’s a slight government cover-up going on funding the group, but ultimately the mercs’ background isn’t really explained, nor does it matter at all for the plot to continue. The main general is a bad dude named Hogan (which is kind of funny just because it reminds of Hogan’s Heroes) who is drunk on power and loves to laugh with little chuffing noises. There’s a group of mercenaries who steal people off the street, set them on the loose through the jungle, and then kill them apparently, they’re not exactly army, but they do have a lot of soldiers who join just for the fun of the sport and the money they get paid. The biggest flaw in Deadly Prey is that it really doesn’t have a plot. And Deadly Prey isn’t all bad, even if it is quite goofy it’s actually got some good fighting scenes.

Still, the movie makes good use of its features for humor now what once was taken seriously in 1987 (the aggressive manshake of teamwork, heroes who only growl) is now easy fodder for jokes and laughter.
From the mullets to the techno drum beats to the insane action sequences, Deadly Prey is a little known film from director David Prior that hasn’t aged well since its release.
#Deadly prey how to#
A group of sadistic mercenaries kidnap people off the streets and set them loose on the grounds of their secret camp, so the “students” at the camp can learn how to track down and kill their prey.ĭeadly Prey is the epitome of ‘80s action flicks.
