Directed with frantic energy and an uncompromising love for practical explosions by independent b-movie pioneer David A. Prior, this legendary feature stars his brother, Ted Prior, in a career-defining, relentlessly physical performance as Mike Danton. Danton is a peaceful, ordinary suburbanite who just happens to be an elite, highly decorated Vietnam War veteran and master survivalist. His quiet life is violently upended when he is randomly abducted from his front yard by a ruthless mercenary group led by the sadistic Colonel Hogan (Cameron Mitchell) and his second-in-command, Captain Thornton (David Campbell). Financed by a shadowy corporate backer (Troy Donahue), Hogan runs a highly illegal, secret training camp in the deep woods, using innocent civilians as live human prey for his private army of bloodthirsty mercenaries. Dropped into the dense brush barefoot and wearing nothing but a pair of denim shorts, Danton is given a head start before the hunt begins. However, Hogan’s mercenaries quickly realize they messed with the wrong man. Utilizing a brutal array of makeshift traps, stealth tactics, and unyielding jungle warfare skills, Danton turns the tables on his captors, systematically obliterating the mercenary army one by one in a spectacular, gore-filled quest for survival.

00:15:43Where are we?
00:15:49Seventy-seventy-five miles southeast of Los Angeles.
00:15:53What the hell's going on here?
00:15:55Training. Mercenary training.
00:16:01What?
00:16:03The colonel don't believe in war games.
00:16:06Lex T used the real thing.
00:16:09Who is this for?
00:16:10What's his name?
00:16:12Hogan! Colonel Hogan!
00:16:16John Hogan?
00:16:18Yeah. I think so.
00:16:23How long has this been going on? How many people have died?
00:16:28I don't know.
00:16:30Wrong answer.
00:16:32I don't know. I don't know, really. I just joined today.
00:16:37Bad timing.
00:16:41What?
00:16:44What?
00:16:45What?
00:16:54Colonel. They've got my weapons.
00:17:04Kill him.
00:17:05What?
00:17:30Daddy. Daddy, please come as soon as you get this message.
00:17:34Someone took Michael and I'm afraid that he's hurt.
00:17:38I don't know what to do, Daddy. Please hurry.
00:17:40I need you.
00:17:48You two. Van out. Left and right.
00:17:51Stay here.
00:18:03Let's go.
00:19:00You're dead.
00:19:03Let's go.
00:19:37Well, tell me exactly what happened. Go ahead.
00:19:43Okay. Mike went out to take out the trash this morning. And I heard a lot of noise. And so
00:19:50when I went to the window to see what happened, I saw this man hit him over the head with
00:19:55the pipe or something. And then they dragged him into the van and it took off.
00:20:00Call the police.
00:20:03No, Daddy. I know you're retired, but I wanted to call you first.
00:20:10In a van. What kind of van? What color?
00:20:16Well, I don't know the make, but it was the kind of van without the windows. You know, like a
00:20:22delivery truck. Um, and it was green.
00:20:26It was a light green, dark green. Dark green. But it was a funny kind of green, like army green.
00:20:33This is very important. Think hard. The license plate. The number. Get it?
00:20:40It's a part of it.
00:20:42Well, any part.
00:20:44Uh.
00:20:46Two.
00:20:47Two.
00:20:48Four.
00:20:49Four.
00:20:50Seven.
00:20:51Seven. You sure?
00:20:52Two, four, seven?
00:20:56No.
00:20:56No.
00:20:59It was four, two, seven.
00:21:01Four, two, seven?
00:21:02Four, two, seven.
00:21:04Jamie, you positive?
00:21:05Mm-hmm.
00:21:06Four, two, seven.
00:21:08Daddy, is that enough to bring Michael back?
00:21:11Well, we hope so, darling.
00:21:14I run it by the boys down at the station.
00:21:17It's on the force there for 30 years, so I got a little pull.
00:21:20I'll come up with something, don't worry.
00:21:22Please bring him back to me, Daddy.
00:21:27Well, I better get on it.
00:21:29I love you, Daddy.
00:21:31I love you, Jamie.
00:21:33One more thing.
00:21:35Very important.
00:21:37When I leave here, keep all the doors and windows locked.
00:21:41Don't let anyone in until you hear from me.
00:21:44You got it?
00:21:44Yes.
00:21:46Be careful, Daddy.
00:21:57Come.
00:22:16Colonel Hogan!
00:22:17What do you want?
00:22:18They're dead. They're all dead.
00:22:20What the hell are you talking about?
00:22:21The men, they're all dead. The runners killed them all.
00:22:23What? I don't believe it.
00:22:25It's true. Every day I'm one of them.
00:22:28Get the men. We're moving out.
00:22:51This guy's a pimp.
00:22:52Pull it up and move out.
00:22:53I want this son of a bitch dead.
00:23:10I know this.
00:23:13I know this style.
00:23:17It's my style.
00:23:23Danton?
00:23:26Mike Danton.
00:23:28It's gotta be.
00:23:30Yeah. That was the name on the mailbox.
00:23:33Why? You know him?
00:23:35You know him?
00:23:37I trained him.
00:23:41I trained him.
00:23:43I trained him.
00:23:43I trained him.
00:23:56I trained him.
00:24:02No!
00:24:28Jack Cooper.
00:24:31Danton?
00:24:33Mike Danton?
00:24:35I'll be damned.
00:24:38I haven't seen you since the time you took a bullet
00:24:40trying to save my life.
00:24:42What the hell are you doing with these guys?
00:24:46Hell, I ain't never been good at pumping gas.
00:24:48Find another word, Jack.
00:25:10And, I'll see you later.
00:25:13I'll be damned.
00:25:13I'm going to be damned.
00:25:15I'm loo-o.
00:25:18I'll be damned.
00:25:18I'm loo-o.
00:25:20I'm loo-o.
00:25:22I'm bins.
00:25:23I'm loo-o.
00:25:24I'm loo-o.
00:25:26That's it.
00:25:27I'm loo-o.
00:25:36Oh, my God.
00:26:12Christ, we're not hunting him.
00:26:14He's hunting us.
00:26:18Suck this.
00:26:20Come on.
00:26:36Now you're going to die, tough boy.
00:27:05You're going to die.
00:27:11Any sign of him?
00:27:13Just bodies.
00:27:15It'll be sunset in an hour.
00:27:16He's trying to draw us deeper into the woods.
00:27:17He wants to catch us in there after dark.
00:27:20Let me go after him.
00:27:21Take it your chance, Thornton.
00:27:22I don't want to lose any more men tonight.
00:27:24Let's move it out.
00:27:25Let's move it out.
00:27:42Help!
00:28:07Take as many men as you need
00:28:08and seal off a quarter-mile perimeter.
00:28:11We'll camp here for the night.
00:28:12Great.
00:28:15We can't just let him get away.
00:28:18He won't do that.
00:28:20Not yet.
00:28:22He knows he's safe here.
00:28:24He'll take the time, rest,
00:28:27he'll find some food.
00:28:29He'll be here in the morning.
00:28:30He'll follow me.
00:28:49He'll be here now.
00:28:59I don't know.
00:29:29I don't know.
00:29:56I don't know.
00:30:27I don't know.
00:31:16I don't know.
00:31:17I don't know what's going through his mind.
00:31:19No.
00:31:21I know what's going through his mind.
00:31:22I taught it to him.
00:31:24He went through our men like they were just toy soldiers.
00:31:29Compared to him, they're not even that good.
00:31:31Not yet.
00:31:37That bastard was the best goddamn soldier I ever had under my command.
00:31:41I'd give anything to have 20 men just like him.
00:31:51I gave them 10 years of my life.
00:31:55I tried to show them how to create the most perfect killers ever.
00:32:01He wouldn't listen.
00:32:04He said I was crazy.
00:32:08The war is fucking crazy.
00:32:12It worked.
00:32:14My methods worked.
00:32:17He's living proof that my methods worked.
00:32:21What do I get for you?
00:32:24Booted out of the army, my walking papers, a lousy $600 a month pension.
00:32:29You stupid bastard.
00:32:31You created him.
00:32:33You created him.
00:32:33You trained him.
00:32:34You can do it with the rest of them.
00:32:36You're damn right I can.
00:32:38And I will.
00:32:39I will.
00:32:43What about Danton?
00:32:46What about him?
00:32:47What the hell are you going to do with him?
00:32:52First, I want to talk to him.
00:32:54What?
00:32:56Then I'll kill this son of a bitch with my own two hands.
00:32:59Good.
00:33:03Get me another beer.
00:33:05Now!
00:33:18It's over, Hogan.
00:33:21Get your men out of here and crawl back into the hole you came out of.
00:33:25You're playing a game that you can't win.
00:33:29Don't try.
00:33:30Don't try or I swear to God I'll kill every one of you.
00:33:35You know I can.
00:33:37You made me the best.
00:33:40Well, I still am.
00:33:43I still am.
00:33:48I still am.
00:33:56Danton!
00:34:09Wake up, boy.
00:34:14Now, hold on, boy.
00:34:16Don't go jumping up all half-cocked.
00:34:19Just lower that knife down real slow, like.
00:34:23I believe you better do as well says.
00:34:25Now, why don't you get up and go before I get a mind to fill your behind full of burn
00:34:30shots.
00:34:31Go on, get!
00:34:38Damn fool.
00:34:40Running around the woods with no clothes on.
00:34:45Well, that boy's been eating rats.
00:34:49Don't surprise me, none.
00:34:51Them city folks will eat anything.
00:35:11Let's move it out.
00:35:24What the hell is going on here?
00:35:26Shut up.
00:35:28Was that your fire back there?
00:35:30Who the hell wants to know?
00:35:32Was that your fire back there?
00:35:34No, it wasn't ours.
00:35:36Where is he?
00:35:40Where is he?
00:35:42I ain't saying.
00:35:48Your turn.
00:35:54How far?
00:35:56About ten minutes ago.
00:36:00Move out.
00:36:50Get him.
00:36:51Bubba!
00:36:52That's it!
00:36:52Get him!
00:36:52Come on!
00:36:52Get out!
00:36:54Get out!
00:37:42Get out!
00:37:55End of story.
00:37:59Lieutenant! I want that man alive!
00:38:04Lieutenant!
00:38:28Lieutenant!
00:38:37Lieutenant!
00:38:40A colonel is talking to you, mister!
00:38:44Kiss my ass!
00:38:45Kiss it!
00:38:51Got women doing your fighting for you nowadays, huh, John?
00:38:54Doesn't sound like your star.
00:38:58If again, she ain't much of a woman now, is she?
00:39:04That's enough. Leave us alone.
00:39:07Hey, I'll see you again.
00:39:11Fuck you!
00:39:17I'll get right to the point.
00:39:20Yeah, why don't you do that?
00:39:23I want you to join me.
00:39:26You got one damn strange word showing it.
00:39:30That was an accident. They didn't know who they were grabbing.
00:39:35And I'm sure they didn't care.
00:39:37They were just following orders.
00:39:43How many, John?
00:39:45What?
00:39:46How many innocent people have you drug off the streets and killed playing your little games?
00:39:50Does it matter?
00:39:53It does to me.
00:39:56Get off it, Denton.
00:39:57You know as well as I do, you can't train fighting men without an enemy.
00:40:02You trained me.
00:40:04You were different.
00:40:05You were one in a thousand.
00:40:09There's a lot of money out there, Denton.
00:40:12A lot of would-be dictators just willing to pay any price for my services.
00:40:15Millions just waiting to be plucked.
00:40:18And you.
00:40:20You were ten times more to me than any man I have.
00:40:24With the possible exception of Lieutenant Thornton, of course.
00:40:28What happened to you, Hogan?
00:40:31What really happened to you?
00:40:34How does a man go from being, being the highest decorated officer in his special forces to becoming some goddamn
00:40:41blood sucking mercenary?
00:40:45That was their army.
00:40:46This was mine.
00:40:48All mine.
00:40:48And I can write the price tag.
00:40:51Blood money.
00:40:53It's all green.
00:40:56Right.
00:40:59I trained you, Denton.
00:41:01You owe me.
00:41:02I paid my dues in the war.
00:41:04I owe you nothing.
00:41:06Join me, dammit!
00:41:09No way.
00:41:12I'm gonna give you a little time to rethink your situation, Denton.
00:41:18Very little time.
00:41:22Hogan!
00:41:23I made you a promise last night.
00:41:26I'm gonna keep it.
00:41:27You're gonna lose.
00:42:06You're gonna lose.
00:42:14I'll be my pretty late,ENT-
00:42:27Come on.
00:42:46Come on.
00:43:22Come on.
00:43:54I want to talk to you.
00:43:55I don't have time for this garbage now, Michelson.
00:43:58You gave me one month.
00:43:59Come back then.
00:43:59You just sit down, shut up, and listen to me, mister.
00:44:17You've gone too far.
00:44:19It's out of control.
00:44:20I'll take care of it.
00:44:22I'll just get the hell out of here.
00:44:24You'll take care of it?
00:44:25How?
00:44:26When?
00:44:27I'll take care of it.
00:44:29I have the man here right now.
00:44:32You do that.
00:44:33Now, I don't care if you crack a few heads and break a few bones.
00:44:36That's business.
00:44:37I understand that.
00:44:39But save the killing for overseas.
00:44:42I know what I'm doing here, Michelson.
00:44:45I know it better than any man alive.
00:44:49Then you find a way to do it better.
00:44:52Because I'm not sinking millions of dollars into an operation
00:44:56so you can go off on some personal vendetta
00:44:59and implicate me in murder and kidnapping.
00:45:03Don't be stupid, Hogan.
00:45:05If I go, the operation goes.
00:45:08And that's not my game plan.
00:45:10So take care of this Danton character
00:45:12and go back to business.
00:45:43And that's not my game plan.
00:45:57Thirsty?
00:46:02Bitch.
00:46:31Bitch.
00:46:43Dad!
00:47:13Step in the bin.
