I don't mean to ruffle any feathers or start a religious debate, but for anyone who has ever doubted the existence of a higher power, this link proves that there IS a God:  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2385047/

Holy s**t! It's the return of Mike Danton. :cheers:
The baddest Vietnam vet to ever roam the planet.
I love it, but they're going to have a tough time topping the kills from the original.

Very true - I just watched the original again yesterday for the first time in about 15 years or so, and I had forgotten how high the body count gets in that movie.  I mean, just when you think that SURELY he's killed them all by now, another group of 15 or so shows up.  How's he going to top chopping off someone's arm and then beating him senseless with it?!?!?  Such a great movie, and at least the Prior bros are attached to the sequel...

The original actors who played Col. Hogan and Lt. Thorton are in it too.
Here are some stills of the Thorton character and Ted Prior as Danton.
After all these years, they still look like a couple of badasses.

Nice!  Now I'm even more excited!

Back in the day, when I was a wee dumb kid, I always thought that Thornton was played by Rowdy Roddy Piper (and it looks like that are grew back in very nicely)...

My brother (director David A. Prior) and I have decided to do a sequel based on fan mail, screenings, and all that stuff. I’ve talked to lot of fans of the movie, and after having all kinds of ideas thrown at us, Dave and I have decided to stick to the basic formula as the original. Fast pace and hard hitting. We have Dave Campbell “Hogan” and Fritz Mathews “Norton” on the roster and ready to go. Naturally we’re all older so by nature our Character’s would be as well.. Since I beat Fritz up with his own arm and then scalp him we thought we’d bring him back as his “bad ass” twin brother…… bigger and meaner!!

Nowadays he looks more like John Goodman.

Nice!  I should have expected no less than a twin brother.  Bravo on them!  (and, thanks for realizing that I meant to type ARM, not ARE).  I can honestly say that, with no irony whatsoever, this may have become my most anticipated movie coming up.  I WILL be seeing/buying this on day one...

I'm with you on that. If I hear any news of a release date I'll be sure to post, and please do the same.
Who knows, it might end up only getting a limited DVD release.

I finally watched the first movie the other day. Holy crap! Dumb as a box of rocks, but it definitely never stopped chugging forward. I'm tempted to order this sequel.

Release day is tomorrow, and I'm liking the sound of this mini review.

Let's get one thing out of the way -- THE DEADLIEST PREY is not anything close to a quality movie. But damn, it gets the job done. You want to see Ted Prior racking up a giant body count? This film gives it to you. You want David Campbell chewing scenery like there's no tomorrow and saying the most gut-bustingly funny line a villain has uttered since ROAD HOUSE? He does it here.

You want former Alamo Drafthouse programmer Zack Carlson as a hacker that comes to the aid of the hero? THE DEADLIEST PREY delivers it, with an ending that left me just as amazed as the ending of its predecessor, DEADLY PREY. Now all this movie needs is a distributor to bring its brand of insanity to the masses.

Got this the other day and have to say it's pretty damn entertaining. It's pretty much a redo of the first, but David Campbell and Ted Prior are a blast to watch go at it. Kinda like watching a couple of cartoon characters. there's some great one liners and a great, hilarious ending. :thumbup:
Hey JayJay, give us a review if you end up getting this.


Title: Special Forces Sound Off On “Deadliest Prey”
Post by: major jay on November 20, 2013, 06:45:15 AM
Wow, who'd a thunk DEADLY PREY is watched by Special Forces members for motivation? :buggedout:
http://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=183010#.UoymhNKThIF

Quote
Hollywood, CA - For years, a certain Special Forces platoon, has watched the 1987 action film Deadly Prey to get pumped up prior to deploying on missions throughout the Middle East and Afghanistan.

This Deadly Prey viewing tradition has been handed down from platoon member to platoon member over the years, or as they put it:  “Never before or since has an action movie covered the sheer tenacity of a war fighter willing to do whatever it takes to right the wrong that has been done to him. This movie has served as great inspiration and enjoyment for American armed forces to take into the field of battle.”

Since the release of Deadly Prey, a relationship developed between Mike Danton (Ted Prior) and members of this Special Forces platoon.  In fact, largely due to the urging of the platoon (quite possibly, the movie’s most enthusiastic fan base); David A. Prior (writer and director), Ted Prior (as Mike Danton), David Campbell (as Hogan) and Fritz Matthews (as Thorton), reunited to produce the movie’s sequel, Deadliest Prey, which was just released in November, 2013.
 
Deadliest Prey begins 28 years after Deadly Prey as Colonel Hogan gets released from prison.  He has one thought in mind, to finish what he started. He immediately kidnaps Mike Danton and the deadly chase is on—this time streamed live via the Internet.

When notified that the sequel was about to be released, the Special Forces platoon wrote “We are all excited to see the follow up to Deadly Prey and the desire of the original characters to partake in a movie over 25 years later shows their dedication to their craft. We could have used a sequel to Deadly Prey years ago, but the excitement and anxiousness of the sequel are almost too much to take.”

Ted is not the only member of the family to have a relationship with our military.  The movie’s writer and director, David A. Prior has been an active volunteer at the American Legion for the past 15 years.  You can find him most Saturdays at the Theodore, Alabama American Legion Post.

In honor of our servicemen and women who serve our country, $1 from each Deadliest Prey DVD purchase will be donated to the Wounded Warriors Project which provides programs and services to severely injured service members to help with their transition back to civilian life.

I'm left wondering what 'unrestricted' means.  :question: :wink:

Hey JayJay, give us a review if you end up getting this.

You know, I had kind of forgotten about this (for shame!) and I just realized that I never received my copy.  I pre-ordered it and paid for it, but I just don't seem to have gotten it.  I'll get it figured out then I'll DEFINITELY be doing a review!
