David Winters Presents..... (don't have high standards...... or even modest expectations)
Getting right to this movie "Deadly Prey" is low budget amateurism from start to finish and an absolute clinic on how NOT to rip-off other action films, which when compared to this, are vastly superior in every possible way. In this case, David Winters and rest of the clowns behind Deadly Prey are obviously ripping-off Rambo: First Blood Pt.1 (the first Rambo film) and it simply doesn't get any worse than this. But hey, at least Deadly Prey is entertaining in a bad way and you WILL be laughing heartily at the ridiculous levels of ineptitude that this dreadful, direct-to-video, crap-fest fills your screen with, hell this is even a worse Rambo rip-off than 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 mullet craze 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, but it's Ted Prior, the star, who has the best mullet. 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, plays out like a plagiarized 90 minute run-through of movies we've already seen and for the record this is the most blatant Rambo rip-off ever made. In Deadly Prey you'll see several instances of them copying said film as closely as they could, in their own uninspired 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 action film. 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 guys arm and then literally starts beating him with it! Comic gold, I love it - and that's just one scene.
And if by any chance you haven't gotten enough of Ted Prior's faux Rambo bravado, don't worry, 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 your thing then I could not recommend this more highly. In that case Deadly Prey is one of the holy grail's of terrible movies.
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. I'm seeing a dust-covered, sun-faded VHS sleeve that's been spotted-up with several crusty rental stickers, some of which have long since peeled off. Sitting by itself, lonely on the bottom shelf of the rental rack, right next to the Twinkies and pork rinds, at some dilapidated gas station, just off a dusty rural road somewhere in Nowheresville USA. An image that hearkens back to the glory days of VHS rentals.
I can say with confidence that Deadly Prey is the cinematic equivalent of a continuously ongoing train derailment, just watch 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 "David Winters Presents"........
