I think I saw it in the early 90s but it seemed like a low-budget 80s action flick.

All I remember about it is that this guy was being hunted down in a swampy forest area, and he took out the bad guys one by one. One of the bad guys was wearing a mask. I think in the end he saved his daughter, who was being held hostage somewhere.

As far as I know it was fairly wildernessy, and no car chases through the city or anything like that.

And it's not martial arts, or horror.

I have a friend that became obsessed with this movie, and tried to get people to call him "Gator" for like a year.

Ruckus has potential too. Definitely not Surviving The Game, but I would like to watch that one again sometime.

Though not too winderness-y, both Schwarzenegger's "Commando" and Lethal Weapon 1 feature the kidnapped daughter plot.
