2 of 2 people found the following review helpful Great low-budget late night cable action/ thriller!, February 20, 2006 By  Court Thompson - See all my reviews    This review is from: Deadly Game [VHS] (VHS Tape) I'm not sure if this was made for cable or direct to video release, but was certainly not releaseed theatrically. That said... this is a great little cheesy action thiller. Basically another reworking of the classic short story, The Most Dangerous Game with some Ten Little Indians thrown in. Bunch of people are summoned to a mysterious island where they are then hunted by a madman bent on revenge. Gradually (through flashbacks) each tells the tale of why they believe they are being hunted, in hopes of identifying the mystery nemesis they all have in common. I've seen this on late night TV several times. Great breakneck pacing and suprisingly violent for it's type of cable thriller. Don't know why the other reviewer compares it to Van Damme movies... there is no similarity, intentional or otherwise. But if I had to compare, I would say this is more entertaining and satisfying then all his films combined (with the notable exception of No Retreat No Surrender, of course). And it has...

All of the people on the island with him severly wronged him at one time in his life and he makes sure that they pay! Marc Singer and Roddy McDowall are great as two of his victims. The plot has many twists and turns that will leave you on the edge of your seat. It also has a great storyline that keeps your attention through the entire movie! The suprise ending is awesome!

Where is the DVD?, July 17, 2011 By  Tony's reviews - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This review is from: Deadly Game [VHS] (VHS Tape) When this film first aired on USA network in 1991, I was 11 years old, obviously I wasn't ready for it. Having purchased/watched it twice already at 30 1/2 years old, I realize now that the storyline, though not original by todays standards was decently acted, directed, and written, for an action/thriller on cable tv. 7 people all have a history with a mysterious Mr. Osirus, who wants revenge/justice for wronging him. The backstories were simple and easy to figure out, but there is a catchy twist at the end, that you may not see coming. The "game" seems simple at first, each person gets 1 million dollars if they "win" but this game has a price on their heads,and as each charecter meets their demise, it becomes clear that this Osiris is pretty relentless in his revenge. The biggest shock to me was how graphic the violence was, esp. with two charecters getting shot in the eye! Any complaints? Just one, it should've been five to ten minutes longer, but they ended it rather abrupt, other...
