Plot.
Colonel Hogan rents his mercenaries out to anyone with the right price. This time it's businessman Michaelson. A deal is struck, and Hogan recruits new troops. For training, he orders his troops to kidnap innocent people, take them to the forest and hunt them. Unfortunately this time, they picked the wrong guy, Mike Danton. Danton, a Vietnam veteran, is ambushed while taking out the trash. Taken to the forest, he is stripped to his shorts, greased up and told to run. The mercenaries hunt Danton, but are meticulously picked off one by one. The troops report this to Colonel Hogan, who sends a task force with his best man, Lieutenant Thornton. One of this elite combat unit is Jack Cooper. Cooper and Danton realize who each other are while trying to kill each other. Cooper has not seen Danton since he took a bullet for him in 'Nam. With his new-found friend, Danton continues to punish the mercenaries, and get back to his wife Jaimey. Hogan uses Danton's family against him, but this angers Danton. After storming the military training camp Danton arms himself up and destroys all traces of Hogan's mercenaries.
Production.
After The Winters Group helped finance David A. Prior's previous film "Aerobicide", Prior formed Action International Pictures with executive producers David Winters and Bruce Lewin, and producer Peter Yuval. Their first projects were "Mankillers" and "Deadly Prey". Both movies were shot back to back in and around Riverside, California. "Deadly Prey" was first screened at the American Film Market in November 1987. 
The film was officially released on DVD and Blu-ray in 2015.
Reception.
The film review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes lists only one review, on the North Carolina alternative newspaper Mountain Xpress. Reviewer Ken Hanke describes it as "yet another of the seemingly endless barrage of cinematic knockoffs of Richard Connell's short story, "The Most Dangerous Game" also influenced by "First Blood" (1982), and concludes that it is "all quite ridiculous, but might be good for a laugh if you’re in the mood for ineptitude on an unbelievable scale".
Sequel.
A sequel entitled "The Deadliest Prey" was released on November 1, 2013.
