Deadliest Prey (2013)
Sequel to Deadly Prey. Colonel Hogan is still alive and just getting out of prison on parole, some 28 years later. But he has only one thing in mind and that is revenge on Mike Danton. So once again, Hogan puts together a group of mercenaries, has Danton kidnapped, and the games begin. Only this time Hogan is funded by a huge internet company in exchange for broadcasting the hunting of Danton over the internet, worldwide. For Hogan, winning is everything. Proving that there can only be one best and that it is him. What he had not thought of is that he isn’t the only one who had twenty eight years to get pissed off. Because now Mike Danton is pissed off and that means few will survive.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
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.
The ruthless Colonel Hogan (fiercely played with growly gusto by David Campbell) gets released from prison after serving a lengthy sentence and immediately plots to get revenge on rugged one man killing machine Vietnam veteran Mike Danton (ripped Ted Prior bringing the mighty macho like nobody's business). So, once again Danto gets abducted and dumped in the woods to be hunted down like an animal by a band of bloodthirsty mercenaries.Fortunately, writer/director David A. Prior doesn't go the obvious deliberately camp route with this long in coming follow-up to the immortal 80's cheese classic "Deadly Prey;" instead Prior brings a lean'n'lean unpretentious sensibility that gets right down to brass tacks with a winning dearth of pretense while managing to recapture the gloriously gonzo go-for-broke spirit of the original complete with a handful of nice nods to same (yep, there's another severed arm gag). Moreover, the violence is much gorier this time and Danto even cracks several priceless one liners. Fritz Matthews cuts an imposing and intimidating figure as Thornton's brutish twin brother, Art James makes a brief, but welcome appearance as Danton's helpful buddy Kaplan, and Tara Kleinpeter looks mighty foxy, but can't act for spit as Hogan's eager assistant Sophia. Both Eric A. Wahl's sharp cinematography and the pulsating score by Tim James are up to par.
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.
