DANGEROUS PREY came as a bit of a surprise for me. I didn't think they still made these ridiculous, B-grade women-in-prison action flicks, but they are. I decided to watch since Shannon Whirry (my favorite contemporary cheese actress, a woman who once used to act in Broadway productions believe it or not) was the star. I wasn't disappointed with the results.
She stars as Robin, a beautiful stunt woman living in Europe with her no-good boyfriend. One night, she is kidnapped and taken to a women's prison, actually secret training grounds to produce seductive female vigilantes. But Robin is no weak heroine, she holds her own, sticking it to the wardens lesbian advances and butch inmates and excelling at the obstacle courses and target ranges. She eventually leads a revolt with some other inmates and decides to plan an escape.
All of this, as you can tell, is rather ridiculous, but director Simandl adds a nice amount of gratuitous shower and lesbian scenes, eccentric characters, action, explosions, some high tech gadgetry and more. It's quite a step up from other similar efforts.
Score: 6 out of 10.
