12 | ''Hunter Prey'' is a low budget sci-fi movie made in 2010 that borrows liberally from ''Franchise/TheChroniclesOfRiddick'' Franchise. A ship transporting a dangerous prisoner crash lands on a harsh desert planet. The survivors must overcome the elements in order to bring in their escaped prey, but who exactly is the one being hunted? |

14 | Plays many of the conventional SpaceOpera tropes straight, right down to the Star-Warsey music. |
15 | ---- |
16 | !!''Hunter Prey'' provides examples of the following tropes: |
17 | * AlienSky: A big red planet floats overhead. |
18 | * AliensSpeakingEnglish: Averted in-universe. It just sounds like English to the audience. |
19 | * ArtificialIntelligence: Clea, Centauri 7's handheld computer. |
20 | %%* BatmanGambit: On the part of the prisoner. |
21 | * BountyHunter: One drops in partway through to capture the prisoner for himself. |
22 | * DwindlingParty: There are initially four surviving guards, but only one remains by the halfway mark. |
23 | * FacelessGoons: The soldiers are this until their suits adapt them to the planet's environment. |
24 | * GambitRoulette: [[spoiler:First they're trying to stop the prisoner, then it turns out it was useless. THEN he grows a heart to spare their planet. Then it was revealed to be a decoy, but the bomb ship ISN'T actually launched yet.]] |
25 | * InsistentTerminology: The alien bounty hunter prefers to call himself a soldier of fortune. Possibly a result of translation: he clearly doesn't speak [[spoiler:English terribly well, seeing as it's an all-but-dead language.]] |
26 | %%* LastOfHisKind: The escaped prisoner. |
27 | %%* MyCountryRightOrWrong: Centauri 7's attitude. |
28 | * OffTheShelfFX: The weapons used in the film are all modified NERF guns and accessories. |
29 | ** The rifle is really a Recon CS-6 assault rifle. |
30 | ** The pistol is a Maverick REV-6. |
31 | ** The welder/cutter is a Nightfinder. |
32 | * PoorCommunicationKills: Played with. [[spoiler:Lieutenant Ulrich feigns a communication malfunction while impersonating a fully-armored Centauri 7. The responding soldiers buy it, and he quickly kills all three of them.]] |
33 | * TheReveal: The guards [[spoiler:are aliens, and the escaped prisoner is a human.]] |
34 | %%* RibcageRidge: Wouldn't be a desert planet without one. |
35 | * ScaryDogmaticAliens: The blue-skinned aliens transporting the prisoner. |
36 | * SingleBiomePlanet: The desert variety. Then again, they're not given much time to move beyond the desert, so it's fully possibly that the ship just crashed on one the planet's deserts. |
37 | * SpiritualSuccessor: It draws on some themes from ''Film/EnemyMine''. Two species hostile to each other finding some common ground, and one character even mentions his new found respect for the Draks, who were the alien species in that film. |
38 | * TannhauserGate: The crew of the Aurora says it that it has just cleared the Tannhäuser Gate before it arrives at the planet. |
39 | %%* WhamLine: By Lieutenant Ulrich.%%Quotes aren't context. |
40 | %%--> ''Lt. Ulrich'': You want to know the difference between you and me? [[spoiler: I ''did'' have a wife and son on Earth.]] |
