It's quite impressive that a movie got a sequel with several of the original cast/director over quarter of a century later. But was it really needed?
Deadly Prey (1987) was a hyper cheesy Rambo ripoff that for some reason many consider to be a bit of a cult classic. I thought it was awful, but it had a certain 80's cheese factor charm at least.
26 years later and the story continues, well that's not entirely true. You see it does follow on from the events of the previous movie, with erm..........the same events of the previous movie. What I mean by that is this may be a sequel but it may as well be a remake as this is alarmingly similar, not only in regards to the plot but multiple scenes throughout.
I have no idea why they would do that, it's senseless. And here we're missing the 80's charm, it tries to replicate it with the same soundtrack and action style but it comes across forced and fails miserably.
I cringed throughout, I'd be surprised if even the most hardcore fan of the original appreciates this.
The Good:
Follows on from the previous movie
The Bad:
Some awful camerawork
"Action" is just awful
Some moments are so dumb it defies belief
Tacky soundtrack
More like a remixed version of the first movie
