The Blu-ray release on this one is interesting. How can you deny the fun of something like this? You can’t I say! The rest of Deadly Prey is littered with awesomely bad moments like these ones. No way he was hiding that grenade on his person. Where did he get this grenade from? He literally just escaped from being tied up and is only wearing tiny little cutoff jeans. This means Danton placed a grenade in this dude’s pants. The only thing left are his boots which now have smoke emitting from them. The goon looks confused for a moment before blowing up. We see Danton reach into the goon’s pants and then dive for cover. This allows Danton to escape and when he does he’s approached by one of Hogan’s goons. Like most movie villains Hogan leaves Danton tied up alone for a while. And why wouldn’t he, Danton is the man! Danton will have none of it though, because dammit he has morals and ethics! No, instead he tries to convince Danton to join his team. When Hogan finds out Danton is the man they kidnapped he doesn’t want to kill him at first. While Jaimy’s Dad is sleuthing it up, Danton gets captured again but not before he takes out a handful of Hogan’s men. How did he find it? Why isn’t there any answers? In his defense they are, but how in the world does he know that? Also I think the training base was a secret location. Once on the scene Jaimy’s Dad is very sneaky. Why does he start there? I thought maybe it’s because Danton was a Vietnam vet and so maybe he’s starting there for assistance but no. In effort to track down Danton Jaimy’s Dad immediately heads out to this military training facility. Even if you don’t say his name in the movie it seems like you would have given him one in the script. This is interesting because his role is fairly large. We never learn his name and I’m pretty sure he’s just credited as Jaimy’s Dad. No call is placed to the proper authorities. Furthermore when Jaimy does finally call someone it’s her Dad (Mitchell). I’m not sure how long it would take for me to be concerned that my significant other didn’t come back from taking out the trash, but I’m fairly certain that it would be less than a couple of hours. Jaimy (Suzanne Tara), Danton’s girlfriend, doesn’t get concerned until later that evening. As far as I could tell this was occurring fairly early in the morning. I can’t understand how someone would think these things up and then read them over and say, “Yeah, that’s a good idea.” First let’s start with the scene where Danton gets kidnapped. There are so many moments in this film that made me stop and scratch my head. There is a decent amount of time spent just waiting to get to the next insane scene. What I mean by that is while it does offer up some crazy moments that will leave you howling, there is a lot of fat and filler that is kind of boring. It’s not as crazy and fun as something like Miami Connection, but fairs more favorably to the likes of R.O.T.O.R. Prior was trying to make a good movie and it just didn’t work out. Prior (brother to Ted) had the best intentions. There’s a certain charm to it and director David A. Still I think the movie offers up a lot of fun. The premise is bad, the acting is mostly bad, even that from the film’s few veterans in Troy Donahue and Cameron Mitchell, and the special effects leave a lot to be desired. Thornton (Fritz Matthews), a worthy opponent to Danton. It won’t be easy as the man leading Hogan’s team is Lt. What happens next is a cat and mouse game as Danton tries to take out Hogan and his team before they can kill him. What the men don’t know is that Danton was also trained by Hogan and was actually the best student he ever had. The plan is to hunt them as part of military training they are receiving from Col. The men take Danton out to a wooded area and release him. Anyway, one morning while taking out the trash Danton is attacked and kidnapped by some men in a van. He spends the majority of the film in nothing but cutoff jeans. Prior is absolutely ripped and the movie definitely wants the audience to know this. Ted Prior stars as Mike Danton, an extremely muscular Vietnam vet. I want to be very clear and say this is not a good movie.
