DEADLY PREY!

DEADLY PREY (Prior, 1988): I honestly think this box art speaks for itself. Its very truthful. You get EXACTLY THIS for about 85 minutes. Only at the end this guy chops the villain's arm off and then beats him silly with the wet end and then scalps his dead body. I love the title graphic, it makes it look like the movie is called DEADLY OPREY. "Tonight, live from the Grand Old Deadly Oprey!"

Hilarious FIRST BLOOD ripoff in which every single character dies except the main guy, who runs around barefoot in cutoff jean hotpants and a blonde ape drape. The plot feels like a bunch of interns wrote downs action movie cliches and then the director pulled these out of a hat to decide what order they would be shown in. Lots of flexing biceps, shooting from the hip, shitty ill-informed "military" formations, male bonding, dying words, running through the woods, swearing of vengeance, yelling at the sky, cast attrition and the like, throughout. An amazing and satisfying affair. If you ever get the chance to steal this from a Hollywood Video, do so.
