Overview

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.

Viewing Notes

Had to go back for Day Three at B-Movie Celebration for this movie. Had to. Been looking forward to this since it was announced. Also wasn’t surprised to see Alan Dorich there for this screening (my 8th film of the event). We both laughed a lot during this movie!

If you were to remake DEADLY PREY 25yrs later using the same actors, you would have something like this movie. That is to say, what makes DEADLY PREY so endearing has a lot to do with the context and era in which it was released. Yet somehow this “sequel” is still an entertaining movie for other reasons in addition to the intentional nods to the original.

David Prior could not possibly capture that magic again but at least he attempts making this bad flick good. Also Zack Carlson was gifted two of the film’s best lines as “Steve the Hacker”. Give that man an award!
