First I would say the smart thing to do before you spend your money is to check with people here. If nothing else, we all have opinions and we are perhaps too happy to share them. But make sure you ask what kind of video it is. Just because one of us thinks a video is great or is terrible, doesn't mean you will think the same. Make sure what they like is what you like and try to get them to expand on their opinion. You can also check out there for videos from the company. I think so many of the companies are pirated it isn't hard to at least find an associated video from the producer to check out before you buy. I think most of the companies have a certain "style" that they pretty much stick with at least in the short term. For example, California Wildcats had scripted story line, pretty real looking fights, with gorgeous model type women. Some were better, and some were worse. Some had certain themes like titfighting or boxing. But early on, were pretty much all the same. Over time they slowly morphed into a light tug and giggle lesbian competition company, but even then it wasn't like they went from Violent Grudge 3 to Fantasy in Oil overnight. I would suggest to the production companies they make a mistake with mis-leading. We all have our "thing" here. Some want to see all out brawls. Some want carefully scripted tug and giggle matches. They have to know that they can't make a video that appeals to all of us. You are better off saying "This is a totally one sided match" or this is an "All out Brawl" and capturing your share of the target audience than lying about the video and tricking a couple members of the "other camp" into buying your video and letting them badmouth you to your real target market.
