[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Survival Movie Recommendation Thread

I'm trying to remember this corny 80s or 90s survival movie, been googling for too long, figured one of y'all would know.

I believe Willem Dafoe is in it, but I can't find it on his IMDB page. A survival instructor takes a group of teenagers on a survival outing and they run into a group of wanna be badass military type students. Bad shit happens, the "good" groups leader(willem Dafoe I think) gets shot COM by the asshole with a mini 14 and miraculously doesn't die as we learn at the end of the movie.

I remember one exceptionally corny line when some of the bad kids defect and run into the good kids...they say something about how their ammo got wet and won't shoot. lol

Any help is appreciated as always.

PS. The bad guy has a Buckmaster 184 if that helps.

Found the movie, it's Survival Quest with Lance Henrikson.

Can you fellas recommend more good survival movies?

Go to DeFoe's Wiki page and look at the list of movies hes been in.

ETA: NVM, I see you went to the other movie list.

Yes, that's what I recognized him from. I was thinking he might've been the asshole in Payback, opposite mel Gibson.

I dunno how I missed it the first time through my Netflix view history, it has Survival in the title afterall. lol

I've always loved this survival shit. It's fueled my unending hollow handle knife(Randalls, CRKs, customs, etc) habit, guns, camping in the forest, etc

Don't forget the cult classic, White Water Summer.

Band of the Hand too, as mentioned earlier.

Panic in the year Zero. Great movie for survival content. Very dated, but that is what makes it so good.
